Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I write books, take pictures, love my friends, am addicted to sugar, constantly wonder, scribble down poetry, travel to parts of the world and raise money for those who need things like the basics of life...and if we met, I'd like to think we'd have a great conversation and probably fight about who pays for the coffee.
(PS - Thank you to Brackenfield for the music scoring the video.)
Anne - for me it's always been about simply supporting you, your vision - sharing - one in spirit. The process I agreed to partner with was less about "copywrite" and more about your journey... So far I haven't been dissapointed. Continue to live in awe and wonder!
Twelve to 20 seems like a good number of pieces / chapters to me...but I have no idea what I'm talking about! If they're SHORT stories behind the pieces, you could collect them into chapters and have maybe 15 chapters?
Love you, girl -- keep doing what you DO!! <3
What?! I come on here to see if I tweak my pledge slightly, only to find you've reached the goal?!?! Congratulations - that's incredible! So many believe in you.
Congrats! May your work keep receiving blessings! I have faith that it will.
Yay! I'm actually re-reading PTSF now and am so excited to see what God says through you next - you are such a blessing!
oh my goodness-i'm so excited for you! i just knew this project was gonna be successful! YAY!!!
ANNE! You finished! Hooray! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to see the ebook!
SO CLOSE! YOU CAN DO IT! :)
Just increased my pledge...you can too.... privileged to support this woman and this project! Keep pressing on Anne! Julie (@julesroom)
Just pledged $13. I came here through Friendly Atheist, where I saw a post about this. Good luck!
Girl, you <b>know</b> you had me from "new book." :D
I wish I could've gone with the level that gets me to talk with you on the phone or in person, but finances just aren't that great on this end yet. (sigh) Maybe someday…
Oh, for the record, the issue you know me from in PTSF? God's taken care of it! He <b>finally</b> got through to me!
Still #Praying4AJ!!!
Thank you for sharing. Don't ever stop dreaming. JUST GO FOR.
Because I'm on a journey towards Spring 2013 too, and I love the thought of seeing what happens, changes and develops between now and then. Good luck with it all.
I have no idea who you are or what Kickstarter is. I'm such a follower that Sarah Markley said come over here, so I came. People seem to be very excited about your writing, so I'm good with it. Hope this all goes well for you. You seem quite passionate about it.
I'm excited you are writing again. I hope all works out. God has blessed you with a story that will touch many. Keep up the good work and keep your head up.
Dear Anne, I had the honor of hearing you speak on behalf of Compassion at a small church in Virginia last year. I was so moved and inspired by your stories and your heart. I am privileged to contribute in even a small way to this project. I believe in you and know that God is working through you. Blessings to you, Kim
So excited for you, Anne! You are an inspiration to so many of us and I glad to play a small part of your journey.
K, I went ahead and pledged $13 :) Did you get a chance to read my comment to your video? It's the long one with lots of crazy smiles. :)
Desirae Schneider directed me to this website. Her excitment for your project is contagious. I really hope you reach your goal and I'm looking forward to reading your book(s). Blessings on you and your goal.
Hey Anne, So great to see everyone step up for such a great person/project...you're almost half-way there! Love watching the leaps of faith you take! Can't wait to read your book. Praying for you!
Good luck Anne! Desirae Schneider was really passionate about your work and spread the word about pledging. I can't wait to see the finished project!
Anne, I am honored to back your project! I'm so grateful that my wonderful sister, Desirae Schneider, is pushing for pledges for you. She fully supports what you are doing and you have touched her heart, as you have mine, and hundreds of others. Best of luck; my prayers are with you!
Anne, love this project...and your writing! So glad that Desirae Schneider told me about the project. [I think my mentioning of her referral qualifies her for some prize;)] Can't wait to get the eBook!!
Thank you!!!! You are doing just fine!!!! :)
Just upped my donation, since I found out I won't be charged until closer to the end date. I think your stuff is just awesome, and it's so clear that God has His hand in your writing. So it's a privilege to help you and Him out! Just wish I could do more!
No amount is too small. Every $3, $25, $333 amount helps!!!!! THANK YOU!
Love this idea! Wish I could do more, but grateful that I can do something. I love your writing.
Thank you all. Please continue spreading the word...we have a ways to go!
go get 'em Anne :).
Your leaps of faith inspire me and push me a little closer to the edge of my own cliff. Dream big. Hope my little bit helps you get closer to realizing this dream.
Anne, this story of your friend Matt really hits close to home for me and is why I started my journey of cycling and triathlons two years ago. I began having strong chest pains and anxiety and had heard of two close friends my age that had just had heart attacks. This spurred me to get in shape, begin to eat right and live every moment with more passion and directed towards the right things. I believe that this book will encourage many to go beyond themselves and live a better life. This is why I've supported this project. I'm sorry, I wish I could do more.
Again...thank you. I am so grateful for your super lovely comments!!!
Awesome! Cannot wait to see the impact this project has on people. You are taking an amazing, beautiful risk for what I truly believe you were created to do. To write. To share your story and people's stories with the world. The real, raw stories... I am blessed to have run heart first into your work. As a writer you've encouraged me to keep digging in, even now I feel inspired. Prayers surround you...
It's adorable Elvis lip. Wear it proudly. You go, girl. Live it!
Thank you. And I think there is some serious Elvis lip happening there.....
Of course! Can't wait to see what you come up with next, though I'm slightly disappointed by the complete lack of promised Elvis lip. :)
I believe in you! :) Praying that you continue to dream BIG!
