Hi there! Thanks for coming to my fundraising page for the National Novel Writing Month's November Write-a-thon. If I can raise $200 by November 10th, I'll be joining more than 100 authors in San Francisco on November 15th. Our goal: Write as much of our novels as possible over six hours of food, drinks, and fun.

All the money I raise will go directly to the Office of Letters and Light, whose free programs such as National Novel Writing Month inspire tens of thousands of kids, teens, and adults to write books every year. Thank you so much for your support of my writing and for your contribution to the Office of Letters and Light's literary mission! If you can think of anyone else who might be interested in sponsoring me, please forward this page along to them!

This will be my seventh year doing this crazy creative project called NaNoWriMo, and I hope you will help me meet my fundraising goal.  I've seen what happens when people, from kids to grandparents, find their creative juices unleashed by this project, and I want to help as many as possible feel how awesome it truly is.  SPECIAL OFFER:  If you donate to my fundraising effort, you get to specify one item, character, location, scene, or incident which I will work into the story.  You can influence my novel while doing good!  Donate today!

Thank you for any contribution you'd care to make: YOU are awesome, my sponsors!!

hugs and kisses,
