I completely geek out about writing & communications, charity work, and social networking. Kickstarter has left me in a completely happy puddle of geeky ooze.

    Payments

    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to clarify how the kickstarter payments are going to work. Mainly, your account will not be charged until the project is successfully completed. That will happen 17 days from now. So even if you pledged a month ago, that money has not left you. Yet.

    I know that holiday season is coming up, and I didn't want anyone to get any nasty surprises when they suddenly have $50 less than they were expecting... :) If it's going to be a problem for anyone, you can adjust your pledge.

    Thank you so much for supporting me though!

    "Can we see?"

    $580!!!

    This is all so exciting! Thank you all soooo much for believing in this project and spreading the word.

    But today's update is more about how the actual project is going, not just the fundraising. I've recently had some questions about the monologues themselves, from people interested in performing them, which is utterly fantastic. And they are quite eager to see the content, and have asked to see it ahead of publication.

    So, I thought about it. I still have some fine-tuning to do to some of the monologues (it's an editor's curse - the fiddling is never done). My plan is to stick to the kickstarter schedule, and be completed with the content in November. So until then, I'm sorry, but the completed monologues will not be available.

    However, for those folks trying to evaluate the project before they donate, I will send you a sampling. Write to me at cpcarey@gmail.com, and I'll send you a few monologues, just so you can get a better idea of what my writing is all about.

    Thanks again everyone!!
