Beta Class is in session, and I'm Write-a-Thon-ing for Clarion

[dancinghorse]

I've set up the filter for those who asked to be included in the beta test of an online writing class. If you asked to be included but you can't see the post, let me know and I'll add you to the filter.

We've currently got 16 people in the group, with at least one more who needs to friend me in order to be included, so we're full--but hang in there. I will be running a regular class after we get the format betaed and working.

In other news, I am now officially participating in the Clarion Write-a-Thon, benefiting Clarion UCSD (the latest incarnation of "my" Clarion that I taught back along). My page is here. I've promised to write at least 500 words a day of new fiction, one way and another. More if I can. From July 27th-August 7th. Er, go team go?

Aaaaannnnd I've sweetened the pot. Donate at least $250 in my name and you're entered in a drawing for a free weekend (well, 3 days/2 nights, any time of the week) at Camp Lipizzan. If more than one person does this, the rest will get prizes: signed books, ARC's, a signed ms. if you ask really really reallllly nicely.

I think it will be fun. meep.

I was able to do $50, and I'll try to bully Aidan into doing the same.

Oh, you are awesome.

And of course you've already won your Camp Lipizzan. :)

We got a nice frame for the shopping list. Pix will follow. ;)

Do you mind if I repost with the Clarion link?

Also, have I mentioned lately how incredibly awesome you are and how very much I love you?

Awww thanks. So good to see your cheerful phosphors again.

Yes, please repost. The more it spreads, the more it benefits Clarion.

Things are going much better now...it was a big adjustment, but I'm slowly settling in.

I'm going to offer some goodies of my own for anyone on my f-list who sponsors you. I have some duplicates of your books, and would like to offer the unsigned versions as incentives, if that's okay with you. I figure your books are like crack...the first taste is free, then the addiction will force them to buy everything you've ever written. ;)

Sure! Clarion will love you. And thanks so much on their behalf.

[idiomagic.livejournal.com]

Done!

I'd like to be included as well.

We're up to 20 "preregistered" betas, which is as many as I can handle--I'll be limiting classes to 10 when I do them officially--but when I put up an "official" class, remind me and I'll make sure you get on the list. :)

I'm not on the filter, at least, not from what I can see . . .

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm on the filter. I can't see the post.

[adriannem.livejournal.com]

Are you logged in? I can't see the beta class post when I'm not logged in, but I can see it when I am.

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

I'm logged in. :(

[adriannem.livejournal.com]

Rats! I hope you get it sorted soon.

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

I got in! :D

Just sent off a hunsky, no bullying on idiomagic's part needed.
