I attended the six week workshop back in 2005 and am now the program director. I've seen a lot of changes over the years, but at the core, Clarion West remains committed to providing world class writing education focused on speculative fiction writers--in person or online. I'm thrilled to be raising money to help support an organization I'm proud to be part of - logging some major wordcount on my romantasy novel The Spider and the Snake (I know, very not very sexy! but hey, the title is a WIP!)

I'm 15k words in and I'm hoping to complete another 15k during the write-a-thon. That's just over 1,000 words a day. Wish me luck! 

***Update 6/18****

I know I'm jumping the gun on starting before the WAT officially begins, but I had the opportunity to jump in on some writing sessions with our Novel Writing Workshop crew in the last two weeks and decided not to wait. I'll keep adding words written to my starting total!

Counting this morning's session, I'm up to 21k.
