Mummies Risen

[lydamorehouse]

Do any of y'all remember Walk-a-Thons?

Clarion Workshop is doing a Write-a-Thon that works much the same way as an old-fashioned Walk-a-Thon. I pledge to write so many words and then I try to get people to sponsor me to see how far I can get towards that goal. But, you know, I can write a lot in a matter of weeks, so I've decided to set myself a goal of 20,000 words. I did not want anyone to be on the hook for too much money, so I broke that into units of "mummies risen." 1 mummy risen = 500 words. So, if you sponsor me for, ten cents per mummy risen, and I make my goal, you'd only owe Clarion's fundraiser $20, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

This runs from June 19th to July 30th.

I remember walk-a-thons! In the '70s. I bet write-a-thons are both easier (no blisters!) and more difficult. Best of luck with it. (That's a lotta mummies.)

I loved walk-a-thons in the 70s, too! I must have done a half dozen? I mean, I always sucked on getting pledges, but I always liked walking the walk and seeing how far I could go.

That's sort of how I feel about this.
