Welcome back! It’s been a bit. I’ve been writing my fingers
off on this new book in The Bracken Covenant series and just lost track of time
with my blog (It’s a bad habit I have, I’m pretty one-track minded). I’ve got
some awesome news, so let’s get to it.
My topic needs a precursor, so let me start with announcing
that my birthday is next month (May 25th). You might be saying to yourself, “So
what? Announcing your birthday to the world? Come on guy. Grow up. Nobody over
10 announces their birthday to random people out of excitement.” And I would have
to say back “True, true. You have a point there. But THIS birthday is going to
be different. I’m actually going to try to improve myself this birthday.
Celebrate by striving for excellence, and I need your help to ultimately do
that.”
So what is this “striving for excellence” business? Not only
am I going to work on finishing book two in The Bracken Covenant series, but I’m
also going host a Kickstarter for getting it printed! For those who don’t know
what Kickstarter is, it’s a crowd-funding program. If there’s an artistic project
you would like to fund, you can donate to its development for rewards and
incentives. (In the case of books, it’s usually the book itself. You’re practically
just preordering the book.) The plan is for me to have the Kickstarter for book
two up by my birthday, because really, that’s all I’ve ever wished for on my
birthday—for my books to sell something, anything. I’ve made that wish since I
was a teenager, and still haven’t been as successful as I wanted to be.
So there’s lots of preparations to be made, schedules to
write up for me to get this project on track, and more explaining about what
you can do to help support this project when the Kickstarter happens, but for
now, just wanted to show you what I’m working towards.
Share the word if you can. It really helps. Reaching out
online is difficult without having friends sharing the word with their friends. I'll be back within a week with a firm plan and more details. Until then, subscribe to my blog and Facebook author page (Paul Toy Yoder - Writer) to keep up with me.
