First of all, I’d like to thank you for the support you’ve shown so far. We only have 63 days left in this campaign, and still have 219 copies to go before Quill publication is a possibility. I’m going to be honest with you, I’m getting a little disheartened, but I’m trying hard to keep my chin up. I have several things I’d like to share with you, so I’m just going to go down the list.

1. I am going to finish uploading my first draft of Frost to Inkshares today, which is currently rough and in need of editing/polishing.

2. Over the next few days, I will be writing the remaining few scenes of Frost "As If" to complete the novel. (Meaning: I’m writing the remaining scenes as if I’ve already made the changes/edits I plan to make to the previously written scenes.) These "as if" scenes are bound to raise some huge questions, of course, but I promise it will all make sense after an edit and polish of the overall work.

3. Once I have everything uploaded as is/as if, and the story is complete, then I’m going to go back and make some critical edits to the story. These edits will include significant changes to certain settings, characters, and plot choices. I did some much-needed story mapping last Tuesday, and the changes will make the story stronger and more cohesive overall.

Last but not least, I would like to encourage you to share this campaign with others whom you know would enjoy and support this book. I need to get 219 more pre-orders over the next 63 days to achieve publication. I know you believe in me, or at least in this story, and I’m asking you to please share it as much as you can over the next 63 days. Publishing this book is a lifelong dream of mine, but I can’t make that dream come true without help.

P.S. For those of you who invested in Frost on JukePop before their publishing program went "on hold," please remember that I will be sending you your shares of the profits from these pre-orders if the campaign is successful. I would like to encourage you to share this campaign with as many people as possible because the more pre-orders Frost gets, the more money you make as an investor.
