It starts today.
I’ve taken a deep breath and decided to participate in the Clarion West Write-a-thon. I’ll be doing 750 words/day on my novel and submitting one short story or novel query every week to a new market. I’m really excited about it. At the end of six weeks, I’ll have added at least another 31,500 words to my space opera novel. That’ll put me past the halfway point and maybe I’ll even figure out a title for it. I’ll be posting updates and excerpts here on the blog throughout the write-a-thon.
The Clarion West Write-a-thon is to benefit the Clarion West program, a non-for-profit organization that runs a yearly writers workshop in Seattle for science fiction and fantasy writers. The workshop is intense, led by professional writers, the victims-I mean participants-write one short story every week for six weeks and critique one another’s work.
Your donation helps fund the Clarion West scholarship program. (By the way, donations are tax deductible. It’s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization, isn’t that great?)This write-a-thon is a way for people who cannot be in Seattle to participate in the madness.
Please check out the website and consider making a donation. Just click on the paypal button on my donation page. Any amount you give is appreciated by aspiring writers. For more information, check out the Clarion West website.
Thanks!
