Taking a drastic step


            To be honest with you, I hadn’t really thought about going this far.

            Recently I started a fund raising campaign with Indiegogo for my novel.

            It’s all really strange to be asking people to donate money for my book to be released. I had relied on myself if I wanted something badly enough, that I would save up the money to do it. Like everyone else though, times got a little tight. I am not going to make this into a sob story so let’s move on shall we?

            As of late, I had learned that I could hire an editor who is renowned for vampires. They have edited many novels and are one of the most recognizable names in the genre at this time. It just that it would cost me roughly two pay cheques to get enough money to have them read over the book and then the editing that needs to be done. It’s a lot of money, but well worth it.
            Also, I am starting to save up for a new computer. An Imac desktop computer, expensive and yet they are most reliable. As well I can back up my stories onto another hard drive and can go between the one my family currently owns and the one that will be going in my room. I am in need of the peace and quite, as well, I’ve been hogging the computer at home where when it needs to be shared by 5 other people.

            Does anyone else feel the same way as I do?

            Well I am giving it a try to see if there are those who would be interested in helping me out. Sadly I don’t have much to offer them. Except for those who donate in the high numbers. The best I can do for the maximum donation is to make them a vampire in a later story, and if requested, they can be killed off in a blood manner. Apparently a lot of people have asked me this at if they are written into one of my stories, if their character could die a horrible, horrible death. Well, I do my best to keep people happy!

            I will try to post video updates on indiegogo and see if that generates more interest. I am not the best looking person to be in a video, but let’s see what I can do!

            Well, that’s all for now on this end. I shall start my test to see if I can raise the money or start working my ass off and get it myself.

            Wish me luck!

            Oh, if you are interested in the campaign, click blow to see for yourself.
