Holy $#(^!!!!!! Okay, let me explain… Hwa ha ha ha ha!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, YES!!!!! Dreams are AWESOME!!!!!!!! OWWWWWW! Okay, dreams are awesome, and so is my next door neighbor, but running through my backyard to tell her that I just funded leads to splinters. Geesh! Well, it’s only a little blood, so… Worth It!!!
Okay, breathing. Good. Thank you all SO EXPLETIVE much!!!!!!!!!
I’m kinda glad I wrote the bulk of this letter yesterday. I’m so excited I keep typing in circles but that’s okay cuz I HAVE FAITH IN EVERY LAST SOUL OF HUMANITY!!! Seriously! All of you are amazing, wonderful, PHENOMENAL PEOPLE OF WORTH!!!!! OWW! Doesn’t matter if my foot hurts from that twig-thorn, I’m too happy not to dance!!!!! Okay, the rest is from yesterday, so it’s probably cogent. Love y’all. Genuinely. Love. I… I’m gonna paint mugs and work on my short story and tell people they’re awesome and make the whole world feel as amazing as I do RIGHT NOW!!!
For anyone who was looking to get the limited-run prize, tomorrow is the last day to pick up two or more copies of Borehole Bazaar. This is a super-awesome opportunity to get a uniquely hand-illustrated collection of cute short stories mailed diretly to your home well in advance of your copy of Borehole Bazaar. That said, I’m hoping BB will be up and ready SUPER quickly so it can get into all your happy hands!
This week, I hit 250!!! What this means is that I have yet another three RAFFLE WINNERS!!! The lucky winners are Rebecca Rubin, Crwebber707 and Lauren Huffman!!! I’ll be getting ahold of you to hear your choice of prizes, but they include an etched glass mug, a hand-painted ceramic mug, a laser-etched coaster (or four!) or an entirely wooden (with hinges) book from those listed below! If there is something else you would prefer, please just let me know! I’m fairly crafty and I love my small power-tools!
The list of books should all be child-friendly but I’d advise giving each a once-over, especially A Simple Game and Forgiveness in a Latte. This week’s selection, Kalla Names a Pup, is indented and alludes to cannibalism and death, so use extra caution with it.
---->;;; Kalla Names a Pup
As always, please Chase Your Dreams. It’s worth it, as are you.
Good Monday everyone! I’ve had a ROCKING GOOD WEEKEND!!! Lots of stuff happened. The Borehole Bazaar stuff is that I sold 36 COPIES!!!! This is HUGE news! I’m well on my way to making Quill, but I still need a little bit more help to get the last bit of the way!
So a friend just sent me this message. I assume this is partly why a good large number of us do what we do, so I figured I’d share. Sorry if it’s spammy.
"You have inspired [my life partner of 3 years] so much with his writing. He is also a fantasy writer. Right now he has been writing like double his average amount while drinking coffee out of his dreams are worth chasing cup. I just thought you should know. It fills me with happy."
The Dreams Are Worth Chasing cup is something I’m offering as an extra incentive to folks who let me know they want one. It just has the spiral from Borehole Bazaar cover art on one side and the words Dreams Are Worth Chasing on the other side. Comes in glass and painted ceramic. The painted ceramic is microwave, food and dishwasher safe, except I wrapped the handle in leather, so that might unravel at some point. If you want one, two pre-orders of any level is the cost, that and you have to let me know your address and that you’re interested in the swag.
All 200 of you are AWESOME!!! Thank you for following me, and thank you for being just SPECTACULAR human beings! I’ll be posting a part of the sequel in draft form later today. Feel free to give it a looksee, if that’s of interest.
Good Wednesday to all! I wish everyone success on their endeavors and tons of good tidings are slinging your way!
This week’s offering is again offered on a Wednesday (and I do apologize for that), but it is a very good little piece. Well, it takes place in the same world, in the same nation as that of my book, and at roughly the same time. There is some reference to skulls and injury and such, so, as always, give it a read before turning it loose on any unsuspecting young ones.
And thank you again for continuing to follow Borehole Bazaar! If you feel like these short stories are worth supporting, even if the book is not your thing, let me know! Also, if you would like a printed and spiral bound version, just pre-order twice (they can be e-copies) and send me your mailing address. I’ll put little illustrations in the margins and mail them out to you as soon as I have your address and know your desire!
The stories thus far are
-->;;; A Simple Game
And, as always, I wish you, every last one of you, a marvelous time and a wonderful afternoon! If there’s anything I may do to aid you, please just Direct Message me or grab my attention on Facebook!
Today was great! Spent time at the Dog Shelter and feel super refreshed!
A very good Wednesday to all! Someone won a prize as I have hit 125 sales, but the randomizer has not yet been run. I am in transit from my hometown of Arcata back to San Francisco, so said randomizer will spin as soon as I get back home. (Probably tomorrow morning)
The reading was very good and quite a bit of fun! Even though it was smaller than I’d hoped, I think it was a good crowd and, hopefully, these folks will help to spread the word! Prizes were doled out and there was much rejoicing! Also a whole lot of interest in whether I was going to build a D20 world setting off of this series and how exactly that would work. I hadn’t much thought about building a system, but I love typing, so who knows! (Well, that is to say, I’ll throw it on with the other million projects I’ve got stewing)
Now, for the weekly story! In fact, I’m gonna put up all the previous stories, just in case you missed them. They’re linked in, so just press the story you would like to read and BAM! You’re there! As always, pre-read these tales before just assuming they’re appropriate for your kids. They should be, but…
This week’s story -->;;; Forgiveness in a Latte
And, of course, please check out the changes to Borehole Bazaar’s Landing Page!
Short story will be uploaded tomorrow after the reading (tomorrow evening). I’ll also post a link to the previous short stories, in case y’all missed one!
Also, I have been blown away by the talent and kindness of the InkShares community. If you are one, the other or both (and I can’t think of anyone who is not), then pat yourself on the back. Seriously, y’all are just amazing people!
