I'm doing something. Something big.
Read on, my friends, read on:
I don't know how many of you know this, but I've been
working on writing a novel. It's a dystopian science fiction inspired by my
heroes: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and George R. R. Martin. I'm spending
October doing world-building in preparation for the flurry of writing in
November that is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). My goal is to
complete 50,000 words of text in the month of November!
This fundraiser to help me get to San Francisco for the 2013 Night of Writing Dangerously, a NaNoWriMo event that brings writers together
for a six-hour write-a-thon! Why? Says NaNoWriMo: "Because proceeds from
the evening make our programs possible, including the classroom-based Young
Writers Program, which supports project-based learning and writing
literacy." ...And because I really, really want to do this.
Here's the link to donate: http://www.gofundme.com/sendKaty
Earlier this month, I posted a fundraiser that raised money for the charities aided by the event; those donations got me in the door. This fundraiser will help defray the cost of travel.
This is so necessary; I have to do something with myself. Don't we all?
