As @Evan Graham said, you will have to bring your own followers, and might as well do this when they can actually "buy" your book to save them time. The random followers on Inkshares don’t really mean much until you take off, and even then you will be bringing the vast majority of your own orders from outside of Inkshares.

    Tell everyone you know about it in real life, individually contact every friend you have on facebook and twitter, email everyone on your contact list...just generally bug the heck out of everyone you’ve ever known.

      Wow, thank you all for the support. I’ve received a lot of great words of encouragement over the last few days. Tonight’s a writing night, as are all nights from here until the book is complete.

      In tonight’s writing, Jonathan will be delving deeper into the tangled conspiracy behind his death.

      There’s now a Facebook page for Upload. Be sure to like it for more updates!

      Again, thank you for all your support!

        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. 

        PT

          Readers,

          Hi, y’all. Sorry for the lengthy silence and no updates anywhere. I was on vacation last week with my family and was unable to get to my computer for an update. I also spent a surprisingly large amount of time eating, sleeping, and then eating some more. I’ve included a picture so you can see I’m telling the truth.

          The few orders that have been trickling in recently are so appreciated, you guys. It warms my cold, cynical heart to see your support. We have a few more months to go, but if we were to hit our 750 orders before then we’d be able to publish that much faster! I know you’re as excited as I am to see this little draft of mine become a published book that you can put on your bookshelf. Remember, tell your family, your friends, the barista who makes your coffee at Starbucks...everyone. Working together is the only way we can make this dream a reality!

          I’m working on the draft and my blog (www.rhwebster.wordpress.com) as much as I can right now, but I’m back to my real-life job this week too (everyone needs a paycheck and I’m not famous yet). In the meantime, thanks for your patience (and maybe think some happy vibes for my sanity).

          A thousand thanks to you all,

          - Webster

            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!
