I know this is something you all see every year, but I do want to let you all know of a few options that are quick and easy to do as far as donating to the Office of Letters and Light go. Since I'm broke, I have set GoodSearch as my toolbar on Firefox and have it set as my home search page. Good Search donates a penny for every websearch you do. You can click the link here to sign up. http://www.goodsearch.com/ And there is also an addon for Firefox that puts a little search up on the upper right corner of your browser. http://www.goodsearch.com/Toolbars.aspx
They have also added on a sponser option this year! We, like walk-a-thon participants, can be sponsored by going here. http://www.gifttool.com/athon/AthonDetails?ID=1891&AID=777 Sign up for a page and ask friends and family to sponsor you. Then they click and fund us. If you want to send them to the NaNoWriMo Black Swamp area page, that link is here: http://www.gifttool.com/athon/OurTeamPage?ID=1891&AID=777&TID=5010
I was thinking of doing a fundraiser by asking participants to submit a good segment of your story to be put in a mini-zine we can sell for a donation and give the money to the Office of Letters and Light. Any spare change you have lying around is appreciated as a donation that we can toss in a can at the write-ins if you've got it. Most of us are pretty broke right now if you're anything like me and that extra change is going to go for a coffee. I am also going to set out a donation jar with a little information packet about what WriMo is and what we're all doing at the write-ins to get people to donate. We'll see what happens with that.
If you've got it to do, go to the Office of Letters and Light and donate directly. You can find that link here. https://store.lettersandlight.org/ I only donated ten bucks because that's all I had. If you don't have it, no pressure. I just wanted to make everyone aware of the options out there for us to give a helping hand to the WriMo people.
Thank you for your understanding! GO BLACK SWAMP!
