During week 2 of the Clarion Write-A-Thon, I set a goal for 15,000 total words written and $200 raised for the Clarion Workshop. How did I do? Well, I got up to 11,951 words and raised $175 so far; I didn't hit either goal, but that's all right. It just means that I need to … Continue reading (Writing) Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 3

(Writing) Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 2
This summer I'll be participating in the Clarion Write-A-Thon, a fundraiser for the Clarion Workshop. What is Clarion, you ask? Why, it's the pre-eminent six-week intensive for budding writers in sci-fi and fantasy and it's going on RIGHT NOW. The Write-A-Thon takes place during the workshop as a way to encourage writers to...well, do what … Continue reading (Writing) Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 2
Lessons of the 2015 Clarion Write-A-Thon
The Clarion Write-A-Thon is over for another year. This year, I wrote 40,570 words and raised just a hair over $400 for the Clarion Workshop!

The Clarion Write-A-Thon: Week 6
After five weeks of the Clarion Write-A-Thon, I've written 30,523 words and raised $321.57. Both are fairly far from the goal of 50,000 words and $500, and I'm not sure I'll be able to write 19,500 words by August 1st. I mean, I COULD, but it'd pretty much mean doing nothing but writing for the … Continue reading The Clarion Write-A-Thon: Week 6
The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 4
We're halfway through the Clarion Write-A-Thon, and I've been fairly remiss with hitting my goals consistently up until now. I'm up to 14,535 words now, 7K short of the 21,500 that I wanted to have by now. I'm still working on my second short story, but Civil Engineering should be done today or tomorrow. Still, … Continue reading The Clarion Write-A-Thon, Week 4

Clarion Write-A-Thon 2015: Why Am I Doing This, Anyway?
The sixth annual Clarion Write-A-Thon is underway! I've already explained just what the heck the Write-A-Thon is in Friday's entry, so I thought I would take a little bit of time to explain just why I'm doing this anyway. I'm not a rabbit who likes to pass the hat around and ask for things. I … Continue reading Clarion Write-A-Thon 2015: Why Am I Doing This, Anyway?
