The Journal, Tuesday, 6/20

Hey Folks,

Traveling a bit later today, so I’ll post this early. If I have a chance to update it later, I’ll do so. If not, well, at least there’s this.

I expect to write the whole time I’m gone. Well, each day that I’m gone. That will provide a bit of a challenge in itself.

I think maybe I’m gonna put together a Kickstarter campaign. Definitely going to look into it. I have an idea that I think will both generate a lot of interest and provide me with a challenge at the same time.

To see what I’m rambling on about, check “Of Interest” below. (grin)

Today, and Writing

I might not report on writing during my trip. But if not, I’ll bring the reporting all back up to speed after the dust settles.

See you tomorrow.

Of Interest

Wow. Via The Digital Reader, see the article on Kickstarter at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/sep/14/how-kickstarter-became-one-of-the-biggest-powers-in-publishing-crowdfunding/.

Yesterday Dean announced two new online workshops if you’re interested. Today he issued a reminder about the bundle, Moonscapes. I bought that one early.
