One Bite at a Time
Long time no post. This is just a quick note about what I am doing right now. I have almost completed three major pieces of writing: a business plan for one of the games, now called Yachego; a draft of a module for role-playing games; a major central section of a novel. Why am I […]
Playtesting Results
The public playtesting session last Saturday at High Tide Games went really well. Lots of people came, I ordered the right amount of pizza and people played my games. I am in the enviable position of having to decide which of the positive comments to put up on the website. Why is it that I […]
Adventure Calendar Update
I spent some money on an ad on Facebook and lo! I have more subscribers. I don’t have a ton more, though. I am told that my cost per conversion is too high. Next time I’ll have to do something different. It is a bit daunting to have to read a whole book every time […]
It’s all growing
Everything is growing. The mailing list is growing. The story is growing. The games are bearing fruit. The illustrations are multiplying. It’s all getting bigger and bigger. And believe me, I’m happy about it. The next few weeks will be very important. I’m going to be making the decision when to launch the Kickstarter. Once […]
Exciting Times
Everything keeps getting realer and realer. It’s like a dream! (Hmm. That thought needs an edit) The Advent Calendar project is forging ahead: The first pro illustration is on final edits. People on the mailing list will be able to see it this week. The first pro mockup is under construction and will be delivered […]
Forward
As I write this, Christmas lights shine on the streets and the rain tries its best to be snow. The first of the illustrations for this project has been commissioned. An editor is ready to look at my story after I have one last look myself. A designer is working on dimensions for a mock-up. […]
Yep, it costs too much
The budget is almost done for the Advent Calendar and it looks like it costs too much for what I would like to sell it for. I suppose that’s not a huge surprise but I guess I did not reckon for how much too much it was going to be. What to do? The first […]
Biz Biz Biz
There’s a Biz in the air around here. I need a budget to see if getting some help with the Advent Calendar from a crowdfunding expert would be the right move for me. In order to do that, I need a complete budget as they work on a percentage basis. But let’s face it, I […]
And so it begins
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 […]
Testing 1 2 3
Here it is, my very first blog post. In order to make this happen, I have spent months setting up this website and making it look right. It still doesn’t really but it’s the best I can do. I have installed and uninstalled many plugins, themes and widgets trying to get it to look nice […]
