And they're off! Write-a-Thon is GO!
As you know, Bob, today is the first day of the Clarion West Write-a-Thon.
My goal is to complete edits on my novel and circulate one chapter every four days.
I know few people have cash to spare these days (and let's face it, almost all my friends on LJ are ex-CW or close to the workshop in some way, and seeking sponsors of your own), so rather than ask for sponsorship, I will donate $1 per person per chapter for people to nag me to get it done on time (increasing if I fail), and $5 if you read it. Critiques are optional.
Support an amazing insitution, without spending a penny!
If you are looking for somewhere to throw money, though, I won't argue. You can donate here.
Here's how it works: I will make posts on LJ and Facebook for each chapter in advance of its due-date. You can then poke, prod, nag, yell or threaten me until I release the chapter. If I go over the due date, I will add an extra $1 per person for every day I'm late - as long as you keep on at me. Nagging can be done any way you like; text, email, phone, PM, MSN, FB, hand-delivered letters scrawled in green ink... And if you read it I'll add another $5 per chapter - just make sure I've got your email address. I'll publish a running tally.
I'm flat broke, flatter-than-Flat Stanley broke, so this should be a great incentive. Here's to Clarion West, long may she reign.
