Clarion West: the Writeathon!
Jun. 15th, 2010 07:42 pmFriends, Romans, countrymen…it is that time of year!
What time of year, do you ask? Ah, one of the most wonderful times of year!
It is time for the Clarion West Writeathon!
I and many of my fellow Clarion West travelers are doing something nutty: we’re writing. We’re writing to support the students of the CW Class of 2010, we’re writing to help support the fantastic program that has given so many of us a much-needed kick in the pants. (Hey, it makes more sense than a bunch of writers doing, say, a half-marathon for charity.)
My own personal goal is to either get 50k words written or finish my current book, Taker of Souls, in the six-week timespan of the workshop. (Yes, I have a full-time job. Yes, I’m nuts.) And I want you, yes, you to support me.
How can I do that, you may ask? There are ways!
