Once again, I’ll be participating in the Clarion West Write-a-Thon. This year I’m trying something extra-challenging. Instead of writing one story per week for six weeks, I’m going to…

Well. You can see it here.

I’ll be starting a new story each day for the first four weeks, and finishing some of those stories in the last two weeks. So that’s 28 newly started stories, the best of which will be completed by the end of the 6-week period. I’m nervous but excited. I’ve tried something like this before and I failed at it–which is why I want to try it again. I know I can do it, but it’ll be hard. I really need your support and encouragement. You can donate to Clarion West to help motivate me, or you can email me and let me know you’re cheering me on.

If you’re donating, you can either donate a flat amount or vary it depending on my success level (perhaps $1 per successful story start and $5 per story completed, or whatever you like). The donations help talented writers attend the Clarion West writing workshops. All donations are tax-deductible, and every little bit helps–even $1 per week is motivating for me.

This year, I’ll be posting daily updates here. The Write-a-Thon starts on Sunday, June 17, but you can still pledge support through the coming weeks. Your support is the reason I do so well with the Write-a-Thon. Thank you, everyone!
