Jax Nano project

I am about 27000 words away from the 50k required to win Nanowrimo, and seriously lacking in motivation. So I thought maybe I could give myself some motivation, and do something for a good cause at the same time.

The Death Valley Child Cancer Challenge is a charity close to my heart. I am not athletic, and have no particular skills that are useful to this cause, apart from general wordsmithing. But maybe I can turn my wordsmithing to some good use.

Here is what I propose. I will seriously attempt to write 27000 words in 9 days, and win Nano. I am calling out for sponsors. 10c every thousand words, or even a cent a word. The teeny tiniest bit would help. Or even just a once off payment.

All sponsors will get a pdf version of the final product – I make *no* promises about quality, since it will, to all intents and purposes, be a first draft. Should it even actually go to print, I will send 1 randomly drawn sponsor a copy. If I get more than 100 sponsors, I’ll send out 5. 150 sponsors, I’ll send out 10. If it gets higher than that, I’ll adjust accordingly. If it does not go to print, I will still edit and jazz it up and send out e-copies of the final draft.

This should give me the incentive I need to finish, and you’d be helping a good cause.
You can donate directly on the website, here, and then comment here letting me know that you have donated for this project.

If you wish to sponsor, rather than making a once off donation, simply comment on at my Livejournal or on my Facebook note, and let me know what you want to pledge, and how you want to count it. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

Oh, and please, help spread the word.

Thanks!
