Well, I finally found a group of writers to hang out with in San Diego. I like them so much I serve as a volunteer on their board. And I’m signing up for their fundraiser.
They’re San Diego Writers, Ink, a nonprofit organization that is all about writing, writing well, reading writing, and writing. Did I mention writing? Yes? There is also writing.
They’re having a fundraiser called “Blazing Laptops” where participants write for nine hours straight in return for pledges from supporters. I’m shooting to write 25,000 words in that time. Think I can do it? Chip in!
I have a modest goal of raising $250. Maybe $20 from you? It all goes to the organization, which uses it to fund classes, one-on-ones, and the back end of running the org.
Click here to make your pledge to my NINE HOURS of writing.
- If you pledge any amount, I will send you by email what I write during the marathon writing session. Please include your email address in the form.
- If you pledge more than $50, I will print it out on nice paper, sign it with a personal message, and send it to you. Please include your postal address in the form.
- If you pledge more than $250, I will name a character after you in the writing. Probably as a ninja who battles dust-devils and sleeps under beds, and showers while wearing a mask. AND I will send you a hard copy. Please include your postal address.
Blazing Laptops Write-a-Thon 2012 is the fifth annual all-day writing marathon to raise funds for San Diego Writers, Ink. Who can write for nine hours? We can write for nine hours! You can write for nine hours: sign up to be a laptop-blazer.
