Overwhelming NaNo Write-A-Thon Response

I'm shocked and awed by the response I've received to my "NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon"  activity. I was adding it up today and, if my math is right, our generous sponsors have already committed to a whopping 96.6 total GPs per word among our participating writers! That means that if, on average, the writers only get halfway through NaNo, that's still nearly 2.4 million GPs raised for WDC charities. WOW!

Since there are ten beneficiaries of the activity and each gets ten percent of the funds raised, that's almost a quarter-million GPs for each charity!

My hope is that, by additional sponsors, the participating writers pounding out huge word counts, or both, we can raise a lot more. I think we can get it to 5 million GPs all-in and get these worthy groups 500K GPs apiece. If we could double that and get each group a seven figure donation in time for the holidays, I'd be positively giddy.

If you're interested in participating, either as a writer or a sponsor, head on over to the forum and check it out!
