My personal message:

Hi there!

Thanks for coming to my fundraising page for the National Novel Writing Month's November Write-a-thon. On November 15th, I'll be joining (and helping to host!) 200 authors at the SomArts Center in San Francisco. Our goal: To write as much of our novels (did I mention I'm writing a novel this November?) as possible over five hours of food, drinks, and fun. Check it out at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/writeathon

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.  (And they pay my salary, too...)
 

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.

If you donate (and are remotely interested in what I am offering) you are welcome to any of the following:

-first peek at my (guaranteed-to-be-awful) November novel

-night of babysitting or weekend of petsitting

-a homecooked meal (but you have to hang out with me and Pat)

-an a capella rendition of Tears for Fears' "I Know This Much is True"

-an original poem about you and your generosity

-the knowledge that you've supported a wonderful cause that is very close to my heart, and prevented me from being ridiculed right out of the office

Many thanks,

Lindsey
