Greetings Followers of the Space Sloth!
It’s been a couple updates since I talked about the writing and funding process itself, so here goes. For those of you who are new to the book there is a completed first draft. Keep in mind the sample chapters on Inkshares are from this draft.
Through the kindness of friends and family it is getting a thorough critique and is transforming as we speak. One person is reviewing it for interest, one for content, and one for structure. I’ve also been going through and adding bits and pieces of backstory and information that got left out the first time. I really am very happy with how the story is fleshing itself out. Publication aside, the fact that people are reading…and enjoying…the story is pretty cool.
The funding process is chugging along slowly. The semester has come to a close. The paperwork is (almost) done. And my spring 50K ultramarathon is completed (Spartan Race is next if anyone is curious). So, more time for writing, editing, and promoting the book!
Wish me luck and keep spreading the word where you can. The Space Sloth and her crew still needs your help.

Readers,
Great news everyone!!!! Anybody who has purchased a copy of my book is getting a link to a FREE copy of a cute children’s book I wrote. If any of y’all have kids, I would be tickled pink to see any art they are inspired to make from this, even if it’s just a bunch of scribbles!!! It’s my honest belief that a team of Altruism and Optimism can absolutely save this world! (PS, I’m gonna try and have a little sumthin sumthin like this every week as an extra thanks to everyone who’s helping to make my dream a reality!

I’m currently in the middle of a staycation here in the Orneck household. Movies, minimal cooking, discovering old restaurants made new...it’s heaven. It’s been great to get my creative juices flowing, so I am sitting down to sneak some planning in for Chapter 8, the big set piece.
