Lots of progress and big news
Its been two weeks since my last update, and I'm here to confess, I mean share, what's been going on.
Joking aside, things are going smashingly well.
The book is in final proofreading - I've spent most of the last week melting my eyes in long hours of reviewing, revising, tweaking, crimping, polishing every word you'll find in the book. Death to typos! has been the mantra in my house. Even my dogs know to howl now when the word typo is uttered.
As we're entering the last stages of production, I have to thank you - It's been a surprisingly potent boon to my morale during the final siege of effort to know there are so many of you who cared enough to stake a claim in a book you haven't even seen yet.
The final cover design is complete as well as the interiors, and you can see them here: http://wp.me/p4vkk-21Y (The image on the kickstarter page has been updated accordingly).
We had almost 1200 people vote on the various cover designs and I'm very happy with the end result.
Most of the fun pledge prizes have sold out - which is awesome! With 2 weeks to go before funding closes, I'll see about offering up some new ones. If you have something you want me to do, name it, and I'll try to make it happen.
With warmest regards and deepest thanks,
-Scott
