Hey Everyone,

We didn't make it, but my PayPal offer still stands. Please see the message in your Facebook inbox. I would still VERY MUCH appreciate it if you held to your pledges and backed me on PayPal (It's almost $1000 dollars that would be EXTREMELY helpful to the publishing of my book).

Update #5: Almost Half!

Posted on August 30, 2011

Hey Everyone,

As you can see, you've backed almost 50% of my project so far with a total of 8 days left. This is where I'm really counting on all of you to impress upon your friends and family how much I need their help! 

We're going to see what we can do. Whenever you think about it, share the link on Twitter or Facebook. If you see me post something, do your best to retweet or repost the link for your followers to see. 

This is what it really comes down to. Your money is important to me, but your vocal support means so much more! Thanks so much.

P.S. If you have any ideas for getting people on-board, don't hesitate to write!

Thanks,

Nick

Update #3: Over 25% Funded!

Posted on August 22, 2011

I sent out a little message a couple days ago to some friends asking them to re-post my cause and consider donating. I made a couple hundred dollars that day. It was a great weekend for my campaign! I'm actually in the works of formatting the interior of MINUTEMEN and getting the cover design finished. I'll post pics and maybe a video of it soon.

I can't stress enough how thankful I am to all of you who have donated (no matter how big or small the amount may be). You've been great! Thank you so much for your sacrifice!

I've got 17 days left to raise $1460-something. I would ask you to continue to post on your Twitters and Facebook walls. And re-post any time you see something from me. I'm so excited about the prospect of this actually working out!

Much love.
