Howdy folks!

Nearing the $10,000 Stretch Goal

$10,000 is within reach.  How do we know?  Because it shows up on our graph!

As you can see, we had a HUGE day yesterday, clearing over $700 and putting us within striking distance of the $10,000 mark. We can actually see the finish line!

It's my guess that we're going to see a strong response when Kickstarter sends out the "48 hour reminder" emails late tonight. For our last Kickstarter, we cleared 25-30% of our total funding in that last few days, and we're hoping we see a similarly strong push here.

It's probably too late to offer any additional stretch goals, but if we hit $10,000 with at least 24 hours left to go, we promise to come up with something cool. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know in the comments! 

More New Authors: Pete Woodworth
