    Restarted The Time Travel Survival Guide!

    I started this project and made the mistake of having a 30 day deadline, as well as no time to promote it. I got more than halfway, and time ran out. I waited until I had some more time, and now I've restarted the project here:

    Come on by and back it. I'll send you some great gifts!

    Your friend in time,

    I got my book and love it! I want to tell others about it so they can order it. Should I send them here, or is there a place to order it directly?

        I would support again. Suggest waiting until after the holidays, then rebooting the effort. Would also suggest setting a higher dollar amount for the goal, with a longer timeline (60 days appears to be average), and much more promotion, with at least weekly updates. This is a project which can appeal to a number of overlapping audiences - humor and whimsy in the marketing can tickle the fancy of those with a sense of the absurd, sci-fi speculations can intrigue the tech-minded, and historical allusions can pique the history buffs. Would also think hard about the awards for each level, giving potential backers various entry points, plus reasons for trading up. You might look at "Robin Writes a Book" as a somewhat similar project that was highly successful. In any case, best wishes for the future.

    39 Hours To Go, Oh Nos!

    Oh no - There's only 39 hours left and I don't think I'm going to make it. I've emailed everyone I know, Tweeted and Blogged and Facebooked and LinkedIned and begged. While I'm trying to drum up a few dozen backers, Sarah Palin is out pulling in crowds for her "book." Maybe I need to lose some weight, get some cool eyeglasses, wear $1,500 outfits and insult community organizers. But I'm not bitter!

    Kickstarter has been awesome, with several Kickstarter people actually pledging to my project, and then putting the Time Travel Survival Guide on the home page and then as yesterday's Project of the Day. I am truly grateful for their support.

    Several backers have posted on their blogs and contacted people they know. Again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support. Special thanks go to Tellman Knudson for his $1,000 pledge and his blog post about the Guide. Tellman is running across the U.S. - barefoot! - for charity. Check it out here: http://runtellmanrun.com/

    In case you want to pledge in order to get copies of the Time Travel Survival Guide for friends and family for the holidays, since I probably won't be finished and the guide printed by December 25, just email me at chuck@chucklasker.com with your mailing address and the recipient's name and, if the project completes funding, I'll mail you a cool personalized gift card that tells the recipient what they'll receive!

    I'll close by asking one more time for your help spreading the word. With 39 hours to go, who knows what can happen!!

    Your friend,
