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

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 National Novel Writing Month have helped spark a lifelong love of writing in kids, teens, and adults around the world.

My goal is to raise $250 for the kids, which helps pay for teacher workbooks and goody packs for their students, the amazing certificates they earn, and so much more. Writing is so important to me, and I can't imagine how much more I would be in love with it if there had been such a program for me. One day, Elisabeth and Rebekah will be able to join this program --  with your help!

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.

 And if the idea of "one day" writing a novel tickles your fancy... sign up! It's a LOT of fun, and the end result is oftentimes hilarious, and it gives you bragging rights... you can say, "I wrote a book!" And even if you don't complete the challenge... nothing ventured, nothing gained!
