Dear Friends, Family, and Righteous Supporters,

As many of you know, (and some may have no idea) I love to write.  Books, poems, anything!  It's always been my dream to write and hopefully publish my own book.  This year I plan on trying to do just that!  But with your help and donations, it'll not only help the people who created NaNoWriMo, but it will be my extra incentive to crank out the words needed when I feel like giving up or when it seems like that 50,000 word goal is so far away.

This November, I'm writing a novel. An entire novel, started from scratch, and completed in just one month, as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). 50,000 words!

And you thought nothing interesting ever happened in November!

NaNoWriMo is free. I'm raising money to help the nonprofit that runs it build communities in classrooms, coffee shops, libraries, and living rooms all over the world and help the inspiration flow for me and thousands of my fellow novelists.

Every dollar I raise will keep my spirits high as I write my way towards the realization of my creative goals. More importantly, your contribution will help The Office of Letters and Light build a more engaged and inspiring world.

It would mean the WORLD to me if you could donate even a couple dollars.  I know I have many family and friends who stand beside me in everything I do and have always supported me in my dream of writing.  This is an amazing way to show me your support and it'll always be exactly what I need to write my novel.

Thank you so much for your support of my writing! I'll be posting updates on my novel and fundraising on my sponsorship page throughout the month.
