I’m participating in this year’s Clarion Write-a-Thon. It’s a fund-raiser for one of the most intense writing workshops for SF and Fantasy writers. And you can sponsor me.
What is a write-a-thon, anyway? It’s just like a walk-a-thon. But instead of walking, we’re writing, and instead of making pledges per mile, we’re making pledges per word, chapter, or story. Writers get support, encouragement and motivation, and the option of joining a team with a writing mentor! Those who care about the writers in their life get a way to show their support. And money is raised for a literally fantastic cause — the Clarion Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. All donations are made through The Clarion Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, EIN #20-3114945.
Everybody wins!
Writing began officially on June 24 will end on August 4. I’m saying that I’ll write 1000 words a day, or 42,000 words during the writeathon.
