Can’t resist. :)

Oh all right, I fibbed. I said I’d only post about Kickstarter stuff on the 3rd Tuesdays of each month but it turns out I can’t resist, especially because not mentioning things except monthly makes me feel like I’m neglecting some stuff I’m enthusiastic about. :) First Up! Judith Tarr, aka /dancinghorse, is in the last hours of her LIVING IN THREES revision project. It’s less than $400 from $6K, which will get all subscribers a before-and-after look at the manuscript & revision process. I said this once before about…

*proud*

The Word War Room is three years old today. Since I’d hoped, when I started it, that it would last six months, I’m very proud of it, and I’m still so happy at how many people log in and use it regularly to help them focus and get work done. If you want to join the war room as a participant, the above link tells you what it is and how it works. You have to join the Toonowrimo community to get the password, which there is a link to…

SotC: Amelia Stone

I just want to observe that the SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY Kickstarter has crossed the $15K threshold, which means it is now actively moving toward “Catie writes a pulp fiction novel!” Guys, it’s an insane bargain. If, in the goodness of your heart, you want to offer up twenty bucks, you get FIVE BOOKS and a warm fuzzy feeling, but the truth is you can get five books for ten dollars, which is just a preposterously good deal. And one of those books will be by me! :) (Because who…
