Clarion Write-a-Thon -- Final Week!
This is your last chance to sponsor me (or any of the other fabulous writers) for the Clarion Write-a-Thon. It turns out that writing at least 500 words a day takes a bit of mental energy. I haven't actually gotten around to writing update posts to tell you all how I'm doing. And to encourage you to donate a buck or two (or five or ten) to Clarion.
So this is my last chance to do so and your last chance to be able to see the Clarion class of 2011 and say 'They were able to attend because of me.' Five or so years down the road, when several of them have books on the shelves, don't you want to be able to say 'Hey, I know him/her! She/he went to Clarion the year after that write-a-thon.'?
Don't you want to see _my_ book on the shelf and know you encouraged me to write for a change? Write, write, write.
So, for my update, yes, I have been doing at least 500 words a day since July 1st. I missed one day (clocked in around 400 words and then got distracted). Last night, I forgot! But then when I woke up inexplicably around 4:45, I wrote 600+ words before crashing again. (Ended up oversleeping and being late to work, but, hey, all in the pursuit of great fiction, right?)
If you donate say, 1000$ or so, I might be able to win the Ipad. Right now the Ferret is in the lead, with Gregory Frost in second. I don't know their exact totals, but it's somewhere in that vicinity.
It's a tax writeoff! You want to put 1000$ down as a tax deduction this year, don't you? Right?
Here's my Donate Page
And thank you to everyone who has pledged or donated money thus far. I doubt I would've had the motivation to continue if you hadn't. Thank you.
