Send Katy to NaNoWriMo!

Dear Friends, Family, and Righteous Supporters,
Here's the summarized reason I'm doing this:
I don't know how many of you know this, but I've been working on writing a novel. It's a dystopian science fiction inspired by my heroes: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and George R. R. Martin. I'm spending October doing world-building in preparation for the flurry of writing in November that is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). My goal is to complete 50,000 words of text in the month of November!
This fundraiser to help me get to San Francisco for the 2013 Night of Writing Dangerously, a NaNoWriMo event that brings writers together for a six-hour write-a-thon! Why? Says NaNoWriMo: "Because proceeds from the evening make our programs possible, including the classroom-based Young Writers Program, which supports project-based learning and writing literacy." ...And because I really, really want to do this.
And here's the longer version:
On November 17, the Office of Letters and Light will be bringing together the most mighty of endurance novelists for an event that will define our generation forever.
I'm speaking, of course, of National Novel Writing Month's Night of Writing Dangerously. It's a write-a-thon, and it will take place at the beautiful Julia Morgan Ballroom in downtown San Francisco.
With your help, I can be sitting in one of these empty seats, writing my heart out and raising money for the Office of Letters and Light, NaNoWriMo's parent nonprofit.
Attendees like me must raise $250 to get in the door, and from there, a rich array of prizes, delicious food, and sumptuous writing time awaits. But this is not about me getting a treat-filled night of literary abandon. This is about children and adults getting the encouragement, structure, and inspiration they need to achieve their creative potential.
Proceeds from the event will fund National Novel Writing Month's free creative writing programs in hundreds of schools and communities around the world.
The Office of Letters and Light does inspiration like nobody else (did I mention I'm writing an entire novel this November?). And on their behalf, I am asking you to donate.
Also, I will let you touch my raffle prizes if I win some... Actually, I'll raffle them off on my blog, so we can all share the love!
You've already helped me reach the $250 ticket price, now I just need to get there! (The $600 I'm raising here will cover my travel expenses.)
Thank you for supporting me in my novel-writing quest, and for helping the Office of Letters and Light create a more engaged and inspiring world.
