Writing this down so I remember it

This is what we call Irish Planning.

I have been awake for almost 36 hours. If this still makes sense when I wake up, I'll take it under consideration.


Kickstarter or Indiegogo Campaign:

The Year of Writing Dangerously

The goal is to raise enough money that I can live on it and write books, to be published through Inkstained Succubus for cost effectiveness.

Steps:

1) figure out how MUCH money. Living Expenses and publishing expenses. Convention Travel expenses.
2) Figure out rewards.
3) Make video
4) Set up Livejournal/Blogger for the contributors to talk to.

During this year, defined as 12 months, I must write 3 novels and 6 short stories. That's about 200,000 words, which isn't quite 1000 words a day.

Reward ideas (Each level includes all the previous rewards):

Included in the dedication
Early releases
Paperbacks
A vote on which story comes next
A book signing in your city.
My backlist


So I throw this out to you, my loyal readers, friends and fanbase: Do you think I could potentially raise about $60,000 for expenses and publishing and travel? Do you have ideas for rewards?

Went and Did it: Indiegogo

The Month of Writing Dangerously campaign has kicked off at IndieGoGo

I'm raising money to take a one month leave of absence from work, and write a book. Of course, if anyone wants to help me take more than that month, they are welcome to do so. We have stretch goals.

Come see what goodies are available. Everything from $1 to $10,000 contributions will be rewarded.
