During NaNoWriMo, authors would frequently set public "goals" for themselves: X wordcount by Friday, 10K day tomorrow, etc. Other novelists who wished to cheer on the aspirants would "sponsor" such noveling excesses: geenrally the sponsor would agree to donate $2-$10 to Nano/Office of Letters and Light if the goal was met.
It was a great idea, I thought, so I'm throwing this back into play here in the MD forums. Note: this is for personal/writing team goals, not for the Utah challenge. Post your goals, get support, load up on a few sponsors and earn some cash for SF, all in this thread!
As an example, I submit this post:
It's raining, it's cold, and the weather is starting to cause me significant pain. For those who remember last November, you will undoubtedly recall that it was just that combination of occurences that powered many of my all-night writing sessions. Add in the fact that I have just gotten permission from a close friend to use her drug slide and recovery notes in a one-act play and you will see that I have much to fuel my writing frenzy.
My goal: 75 pages by April 7 (next Monday). It will occur. Any sponsors?
Current Page Count: 37
