📢 Update: 22 Days Left
October 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Hello, Twenty-two days remaining. Still no backers. I'm not going to pretend this isn't hard. Eight days of watching the campaign sit at zero takes a toll. You start questioning everything — the work, the presentation, yourself. But here's what I... (Read More)

📢 Update: Day Four
October 17th - via: kickstarter.com
Hello, Four days in. Still no backers. I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong. If the messaging is off, if the rewards aren't compelling enough, if people just don't want what I'm making. It's hard not to spiral a little when the page stays at... (Read More)

October 15th - via: kickstarter.com

📢 Update: Day One
October 14th - via: kickstarter.com
Hello, The first day is done. No backers yet, but that's okay. These things take time. Launching a Kickstarter is strange. You spend months preparing, hit the button, and then... you wait. You refresh the page more than you should. You wonder if... (Read More)
