Plot Reveal!!!

Hello again my happy readers! I've decided to do something which would normally not do. I am going to reveal the plot of my November NaNoWriMo novel. Dun-du-du-dun!

"Why?" you may be asking.

Well, because I'm all caught up on my Camp word goal (many, many thanks to my sweet hubby for giving me an incredible amount of time to work in Saturday!) but I'm still short my fundraising goal. I need your help and so I'm giving a little carrot under your nose, so to speak. :)

One of the donor goodies for this fundraiser is that ALL donors will get to name a character in my November novel. And up 'til now I've been keeping the plotline under my hat. I've been letting it simmer and thicken, allowing the juices to run together and blend and I am now ready to let you in on the secret.

Drum roll please!

This November I will be writing a story all about writing for NaNoWriMo. It will kind of be a story in a story with the writer's story being sprinkled in along with the things going on in her life. There will be nefarious villians, dashing heroes, writer's block, screaming children, moments of glorious inspiration, the ever-patient writer's husband, computer crashes, an adorable Corgi and all those other things that make NaNoing so much fun!

And when this story is finished, I will release it on CreateSpace and part of the proceeds will go to NaNoWriMo. The other part will go into the "Jessica wants a Corgi puppy!" fund. Call me selfish, but after years of waiting to be in a stable financial situation I think I've earned a puppy. :)

There are many characters that will need naming from the main characters to the minor characters in the author's little world. I will need villians and heroes , and of course the adorable Corgi needs a name too! That is where you come in. You can have a piece if this story. When you show it to your friends, your neighbors, the mechanic, whoever you meet you can point to that name and say, "See that character? I named him/her!" You will also have the fuzzy feel-good feeling of knowing that your support is helping provide a fun and engaging literacy program to people all over the world.

So take a look into your budget, go to www.stayclassy.org/JessicaLElliott, break out that dusty baby name book and make a difference!

Don't forget the other goodies for the donors:
~~All donors will be entered into a drawing for one of three original illustrations (by me) which will be sent to you by mail. There will be one illustration for each of the books that are currently out: Charming Academy, Finding Prince Charming and Mischief, Mayhem and NOT Burning the House Down. There will be three winners, one for each of the illustrations.
~~All donors will get my heartfelt thanks and the knowledge that I will have a fabulous birthday knowing that together, we've made a difference! :)
~~The highest donation will earn a cameo appearance in the next "Charming Academy" book which is progress right now!
