Guess what I found out? I can still accept sponsorships and donations for my Clarion Write-a-Thon. So, if you had wanted to sponsor (one time donation) or pledge (money per word), you still have time. You will be helping me to support Clarion's Writers Workshop, an intense six week writing program that is one of the oldest and most well-respected writers' workshops in the nation. For more information about the Clarion Writers Workshop, please visit their website at
http://clarionwriteathon.org.
All donations can be declared on your taxes. The Clarion Write-a-Thon and the Writers Workshop is governed by the Clarion Foundation. Established to ensure, despite the economy, the high quality of the Writers Workshop, the Clarion Foundation is a legally incorporated non-profit organization, awarded charitable (501(c)(3)) status by the I.R.S. Your donations to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
If you wish to see what your money will purchase, you can visit my writer's profile at
http://clarionwriteathon.org/members/profile.php?writerid=128931. You can see my goals, monitor my progress (one week down, five more to go!), and read experts from my novel. If you like what you see, click the button and donate or pledge.
To those who have, I thank you. While you support an organization I believe in, you also support me in a life goal. I do not have the words of gratitude to express what it means to have the support.
Anyway, back to enjoying my weekend. I hope you enjoy yours as well!
