Clarion West Write-a-Thon
First off, courtesy of dreamhost, my email is down. So if you're emailing me, I can't tell.

The Cloud Roads, and many other lovely books, are on The Book Smugglers' List of the Best Books of 2011 So Far
Charles Saunders has a new book out! Damballa It's an adventure pulp story set in 1930s Harlem.

Clarion West Write-a-Thon:
I've signed up for the Clarion West Write-a-Thon here. You can see the other writers listed here
Read about what Clarion West is here. Clarion West is a nonprofit literary organization and is committed to equal opportunity. Although there are fine science fiction and fantasy writers of all ethnicities, races, and genders, historically the field has reflected the same prejudices found in the culture around it, leading to proportionately fewer successful writers of color and women writers than white male writers. Within the limitations of the workshop, Clarion West is dedicated to improving those proportions.
The goal of the Write-a-Thon is: Our goal now is to get 270 Write-a-thon donors. We'll gladly accept donations of any amount. Now till July 29 you can support Write-a-thon authors doing their best by donating to Clarion West when they accomplish their goals: help them, help the workshop, and help yourself as you sponsor the creation of more writing you'll want to read.
My writing goal is to write at least 15,000 words on the draft of the novel I'm currently working on. It's the next book in the Cloud Roads series, set after The Serpent Sea. (I didn't get much done yesterday because I was trying not to beat a scanner to death.)
My dilemma is that people are supposed to post snippets of their writing to encourage donations, but I don't want to spoil readers on the third book when the second book isn't out yet. So I've made a poll:
View Poll: Which Snippets?
Whatever it is, I'll post it behind an lj cut so people can skip it at will.
