Dear fellow storytellers,

If you're like me, you're taking stock of your 2012 New Year's Resolutions and thinking, "Why is 'Do yoga' on my list every year?"

I failed to do a single downward-facing dog pose in 2012, but I take heart that, like you, I embarked on the mind-bending journey of NaNoWriMo. Whether you wrote 500 words or 50,000 in November, you achieved something huge: you leapt into an audacious goal.

We love being the place where you—along with kids and teens in more than 2,000 classrooms—bounded into novel writing. To paraphrase the late, great Ray Bradbury, you have to jump to find out how to unfold your wings.

We want to continue helping writers fly. To do so, we need to raise $90,000 to reach our break-even goal to bring NaNoWriMo back next year. Currently, 11.6% of NaNoWriMo participants have donated. We're shooting for 12%.

If you haven't had a chance to donate, please consider making a tax-deductible donation (even $10 helps tremendously) or buying a nifty item in our store to commemorate your 2012 novel. We toast you in advance for your generosity—every donation helps us open a pathway for a wanna-be writer to become a writer.

Thanks for writing with us in 2012, and please keep writing in 2013. We want to wrap the world in your yarns!

Write on!

P.S. Since we're an organization of wild, audacious goals, please tell us what "big, fun, scary things" you're cooking up for 2013. Yoga?

The bee said, 'What seems to be the problem?' 'I'm out of gas,' the man replied. The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out. 'Try it now,' said one bee. The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. 'Wow!' the man exclaimed, 'what did you put in my gas tank'? The bee answered, Wait for it, wait for it.. You're just gonna love this.. I see you smiling
