A certain amount of cross-posting
Jun. 8th, 2011 10:00 amYeah, I know most of you have already seen this in the Clarionites community, but not all. Think of it as theater. The Flying Karamozovs used to say that there's more to the theater than repetition, but not much.*
Will you write this summer? Look for an agent, shop a novel, submit short stories, revise chapters, finish some beginnings, start some first drafts, vacuum a cat? Do you have any writing-related goals you want to commit to get done?
Be one of 100 writers in the Clarion West Write-a-thon! Use the Write-a-thon to help you reach your own goals; help Clarion West meet some challenges and raise money for the workshop along the way.
Kate Schaefer (yes, that's me), Karen G. Anderson, and Vonda N. McIntyre have issued a challenge: we'll sponsor all participants for $1 each, up to 99 participants, for a total of $297 ($99 dollars from each of us). If the Write-a-thon gets 100 participants, we'll make it $5 each, for a total of $1500 (that's $500 from each of us). Make us pay!
The deadline for signing up is midnight PST on Saturday, June 18. The Write-a-thon itself runs from June 19 to July 29, during the six weeks of the workshop.
If you prefer to support Clarion in San Diego, go for it! Their Write-a-thon starts and ends a week later than Clarion West's and runs concurrently with their workshop. If you like, you can do both.
Feel free to repost this challenge and to reformat it for other social media. I don't tweet or use Facebook, so I can't get the word out there. Can you?
Thanks!
* Only when they said it, there were things flying all over the stage.
