Follow-up on health stuff and money stuff

I’m pretty much okay now, assuming nothing else goes wrong.   A bunch of you sent me money, which helped more than I can say.   When we posted a while ago asking for a loan, Matthew Fischer said, “I think you are very likely to get 150 fans to donate $100 in exchange for exclusive access to some signature graphic design element, audiobook, podcast or piece of prose.”

Since then, I’ve been thinking over what sort of cool thing to do to say thank you.  This post is just to say I’ve got an idea, and it’ll take about a month or so to put together.  So hang on, and watch this space for breaking news.

And, really, no shit, thank you all again.  Thank you very much.

Hey, you got a band?

We’re looking for some bands to help us engage in some viral marketing .  Are you in a band?  Do you have a friend who is in one?  Post a link to your music here, or else send it to Kit at dreamcafe dot com, and we’ll give it a listen.  Ideally this should involve good publicity both for our project and any bands we end up working with.

Thanks.

Again with the rewrite

Yet again, I have to start a full rewrite before finishing the first draft.  This is unusual for me–I like to get to the end before doing major revisions.  But all of a sudden PLOT showed up in the book, so what can I do?

The good news is that this is a much less significant rewrite than the last, and involves mostly a lot of cutting and pasting.  In draft form, I’ve finished chapter 14, and I suspect when I get finished with the rewrite, I’ll probably be in about the same place, only this time with a clear view to the end.
