As of a few months ago, I started work on a junior fiction fantasy series (planned out at nine books). I am still excited about this project (featuring Jimmy and Penny and their adventures going to circus train camp), but was suddenly interrupted by the opportunity to apply to Kickstarter for a publicly-group-funded grant. I am just about to launch the fundraising, and I have one month to be fully funded at $20,000. I will post the link here in a jiffy (as in as soon as they approve and post the application). Here's hopin'. If I get the grant, I will have one year to write, revise, and such the first book of my Spin trilogy. If I am over-funded, I have the same amount of time to deliver on the second and third books. Also, at various funding levels I have to make good on things like Spin tees and handmade cards. It would be worth it to launch my career a year before expected and--in the meantime--support my family through the time it will take for Kevin to graduate. In short, Kickstarting might be hard work, but a kick.

Did not receive Kickstarter grant. That was probably obvious. I did have some wonderful supporters, but the timing could not have been worse for me, and I had some terrible interruptions in my personal life that helped to derail the process.
