Winter Fundraiser, Day 10

Another $270 came in yesterday which brings the total for the fundraiser to $1,439.26. The goal is $2,000 by the end of Friday, so there is still $560 to go. As I've mentioned before, if the fundraiser doesn't hit $2,000 by then, I'll need to scale back my work on this site significantly. How much work do I do here? In February, I wrote over 30,000 words on this site. Obviously there was a lot of news last month, but that output is about half of the average book and probably about half of the average annual output of a lot of people who make a living writing for magazines and newspapers. Just offering some perspective.

So with $560 to go, I'd really appreciate it if readers who have not contributed to day would step with contributions of $10, $15 or $25. A lot of small contributions can go a long way very quickly. Those of you who've contacted me for my mailing address, please send in your checks as soon as possible. It'd be a big help in determining where the heck this fundraiser stands.

Thanks to all of you who've contributed already.

For those of you who'd like to contribute, there's a PayPal button on the right or contact me by email for a snail mail address.

Thanks for your support.
