Hey everybody!

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

I've always loved to write, and had dreams of writing a book, but I've never done anything about those dreams.  National Novel Writing Month is based on the idea that until you give someone a deadline and a lot of encouragement, you never know what they're capable of doing.

Please:

• Wish me luck.
• Pester me daily during November about my productivity.
• Help me raise 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: I'll be writing at least 50,000 words.  It would be extremely generous of you to sponsor me with $1 per 1000 words, or $50 total.  But any amount would help increase literacy worldwide, and I'm grateful for every penny.  (I only need a penny per word to reach my goal of $500!)

Thanks for all your love and support!

If you can think of anyone else who might be interested in sponsoring me, please forward this page along to them.

Love,

Lauren, your favorite(?) Word Nerd/Grammar Geek
