Going Social!

I am so totally jazzed to be on a Clarion team. I’ve been a fundraiser for Clarion for a while, but I’m amazed by the way Clarionistas stick together. 1977, Kim Stanley Robinson, Greg Frost and Robert Crais all attended the Workshop together; they’re friends today! Blows my mind. And I’m hoping that, once we’ve shared some writing, we’ll all be there for each other too.

Today, I chased the social aspect of Clarion like our fundraising challenges suggested. I Tweeted to my four followers (okay, I suck at Twitter). hoping they’d retweet to theirs; I Facebooked my family and friends; I sent an @WilW tweet to Wil Wheaton (you should do the same; he’s a Clarion fan); I had written this week’s challenge, and Mary Robinette Kowal repinned my Write-a-thon pin on Pinterest, where she has 323 followers; I sent an update on my 2-year old Kickstarter project telling people I was editing the novel; I Facebook’ed the Kim Stanley Robinson Facebook fan page, telling them that Stan’s in on the Write-a-thon and where to find him. I’m sure there’ more to do, but it’s late on the East Coast…

Let’s Go, Bears!
