This Advent Calendar is going to go or it’s not. I have spent the past week doing all the things I didn’t want to do, or was afraid to do, or could not do:
connecting with people on social media
contacting a real artist in hopes of commissioning some real art
finding a distributor to go with my finished quote from Panda Games
Researching Kickstarter and crowd funding
Talking to people I don’t know about my prototype and finding out about home crafty-type things I could do to make a better prototype
Checking out some shipping options in case I do all this myself from home
In all cases, I want to send out a giant Thank You to everyone for being receptive and encouraging. People are nice, They just are. They really do want to help. I am continually amazed. And no one deserves thanks more than my incredible wife Amy who believes in this project hard enough to make me believe in it too. Thank you Amy.
Based on actual research, it looks like I can look forward to working two hours a day on this thing. That doesn’t count other stuff like writing my novel or coaching my children or washing on a regular basis. Or my day job. Having approached this precipice and gazed over the edge I find that I still want to do it. So here goes. Stay tuned.
