Thanks, everyone!!

Update #3 · Feb 5, 2012 · comment

Hi,

I first want to thank each and everyone of you for pledging, and helping kick start this, even though it didn't go anywhere. Actually, that's not entirely true. I've learned a lot of things, both about kickstarter and crowdfunding, but more importantly about myself.  You can read about that learning here: http://murrain.net/content/next-steps-writing-craft-gift-economy-and-blogging

If you happen to want to help me out, feel free to check out this page: http://casitian.com/gift-economy

Anyway, thanks again for being willing to help with getting the results of my creative process out there in the world. It means a lot to me. 

Peace,

Michelle

7 days to go!

Update #2 · Jan 29, 2012 · comment

Hi Everyone,

We've got only 7 days to go, and a lot, lot more to go funding-wise - I've only raised about 7% of the total I need. So, I need your help. Please spread the news around - tweet it, facebook it, send it to your friends. 

Thanks again for your support, and I'm hoping we can make the goal, and have this project come to fruition. I'm gathering the people and things I'll need to make it happen, so all I really need is the funding to pay them, and move this forward.

Peace,
Michelle

Project Status, spreading the word

Update #1 · Jan 21, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone,

It's been a slow start, but I know a lot of folks have been expressing their interest in this project. Please spread the word around so I can meet my goals!

I've found an editor for the work, Ellen Larson, who I very much look forward to getting to work with, when this Kickstarter project succeeds. I'm on the hunt for cover artists/designers, and if you know of someone who you think does really great Science Fiction/Fantasy book covers, please let me know.

I'm also looking forward to getting great feedback pn the full novel from my critique group tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone!!

Peace,
Michelle
