Today was Housecleaning Day. We got a fair amount done. Not enough, but one of the things achieved was the Culling of Books. We kept the signed stuff (of which we have a surprising number, at this point). We kept the hardbacks. We kept a very small handful of beloved series. The rest I SCANNED INTO A DATABASE USING BARCODES AND MY PHONE. Bahahahahahaha! I’m sorry, but that is JUST SO AWESOME. I kept scanning barcodes and bemoaning my youth, when I had so often wished for just such a…

back in the world of the working writer…
– REDEEMER revisions to agently satisfaction – my bit on “Easy Pickings” (5-7Kish) – propose DRTB anthology idea – prepare for theoretically incoming CEs on RAVEN CALLS – “Don’t Wreck Your Soul” – revise ANGLES to agently commentary – TWO Gary short stories! (3-5K each!) – one extra bonus Walker Papers short story (3-5K) – Nanowrimo – 3 retold fairy tales (12Kish) – maaaaaaaaaaybe some more Old Races stories (30Kish)
Wow.
Wow. Kickstarter says that 70% of projects that are 30% funded in the first 48 hours will succeed. “No Dominion” currently stands at just shy of 150% funded after 48 hours. Presumably if we extrapolate from this, there’s a fair chance of reaching the astounding $12K mark which would get a limited edition trade paperback for the Kickstarter backers. That would be very cool, and I’m very interested to see how it goes. :) At the moment, backers have commissioned the following: – “No Dominion”, a novella about Gary Muldoon,…

At the 24 hour mark, the campaign has hit just under $4600. My readers are *amazing*. This means a bunch of things: 1. “No Dominion” is definitely a go. On April 15, 2012 (6 weeks after RAVEN CALLS is released), backers for the project will get Gary’s story delivered to their in-boxes. 2. There will be a First 24 Hours Reward. This will probably be a short story. So far there are suggestions for a story about the Hollidays, a story about Ashley Hampton, or a pivotal scene or two…
Wow.
12 hours in and the NO DOMINION campaign is 2/3rds of the way to fully funded. If it reaches full funding in the first 24 hours, I will do something Extra Nifty and Awesome. Suggestions thus far include send out the novella 2 weeks early to the First 24 Hour Patrons, write a new story about little Ashley Hampton, or a story about the Hollidays. Other suggestions are welcome and will be considered! (Seriously, you guys *rock*. Holy carp, sez I!)
