Hi there! Thanks for coming to my fundraising page for the National Novel Writing Month. This fall, I'll be joining 100,000 authors in the challenge of writing a book, from scratch, in November.

This will be my third year of participating in the National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. People from all across the state, the nation, and the globe take part in this venture.

It's going to be a busy month! As I write my novel, I'll be raising money for the nonprofit Office of Letters and Light, whose free programs such as the National Novel Writing Month have helped spark a lifelong love of writing in kids, teens, and adults around the world.

Your donation will help me reach my goal of $150. In December, the Office of Letters and Light will send me a donor thank-you package at the combined value of all my sponsorships.

Thank you so much for your support of my writing and 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.

PS: You should think about writing a novel in November, too! Find out more at www.NaNoWriMo.org
