Success! You did it!
My wife woke me up this morning by yelling "B.J.! You're at $2,100!" and the past few hours have been absolutely crazy. I've been checking emails, posting tweets, replying to backers, and generally going out of my mind because we reached our funding goal 3 days ahead of schedule!
That is absolutely nutty, and it's all because of you.
So thank you all for your support; thank you for believing in this project; thank you for being the wonderful, happy, beautiful people that you are; and thank you for believing in a little author with a big idea.
It means the world to me like you wouldn't believe. And we still have three days to go! Let's get as many people involved as we can. What do you say?
Also, I posted a quick blog about the Kickstarter funding this morning at Professor Beej, if you're interested.
Again, folks, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
