Every year I send a donation to The Office of Letters and Light (NaNoWriMo). Last year I think I sent $20 total. This year, I plan to donate three times. Once in October, once in November and once in December, for a grand total of $60.00. Why do I do this? Because its something I can give back to Chris Baty and his NaNo family. I know it costs a lot to run all the equipment and do all the things they do. During NaNo we don’t eat out as often, I don’t shop as often and quite frankly, I think I save money and gas. SO, why not give back where I can. I’ve already donated my October money. I did that the first three days of October and I finally got my halo today. LOL
You know, I don’t know why I care about that thing, but it sure looks perty up there!
Oh, and today I found out (while taking some notes on my character) that she recently purchased a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder – it’s white. It apparently was an impulse buy but she got a pretty dang good deal on it and it came with a 2 year bumper to bumper warranty – must be the economy! Anyway, its good to know she has a car and that I don’t have to find her one before we can get started. 
– and btw – now I want to test drive one just to see what the big deal is – won’t be practical – five kids? Yeah. Not.

What is The Office of Letters and Light (NaNoWriMo)?
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
The office of Letters and Light is a group of people headed up by Chris Baty (the founder of NaNo) and helps to organize the event and other events throughout the year. HTH!
