Clarion West Writers WorkshopJoin me and other writers in this summer’s Clarion West Write-a-thon. The goal is 200 writer participants; if C/W reaches the goal, the workshop can win a $2000 challenge grant.

Participate as a writer or as a sponsor or both.

I am determined to finish my novel in progress, The Curve of the World, which was derailed because… life is complex.

  1. Thanks for the reminder, Vonda. Life has been interfering with my novel revisions and I made rash promises to my publisher while I was at WisCon, so I need something like the write-a-thon to encourage me.

    And since I loved Clarion West — as far as I’m concerned, paradise is living with a group of smart writers in an environment where you don’t have to do anything but write — I want to help keep it going. I’ll get signed up. And sponsor a few others, too.

  2. Nancy Jane — great to have a BVC contingent at the Clarion West Write-a-thon.

  3. Make me pay!

    I’m one of the challenge grant donors for the Clarion West Write-a-thon.

    If 200 participants sign up, several donors including me will contribute a total of $2000 to the workshop.

  4. The participant list topped out at over 225 writers! The challenge grant check is in the mail.

    Fellow BVC member Nancy Jane Moore and I are participating.

    I will be tweeting my progress:

    Does she still breathe?

    She did; she shivered, she moaned, and the wound continued its slow bleed.
