Greetings followers!!

First off, I just want to say WOW you guys are awesome!! I received a spike in pre-orders yesterday and I can’t thank you all enough for your support. Currently, I am in 3rd place but these last 8 days are going to be crucial for me to stay in the Top 3. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, hit that pre-order button, you won’t regret it!

Also, I just realized that I hit 150 pre-orders (that’s 100 pre-orders away from reaching Quill!). I was literally in tears, sitting in lab, when I saw that number because to me, it means that there are people out there who support my project and want my story published. With all of the negativity out there in light of two police killings of black people, I hold on to these moments of happiness. 

I’ll leave you all with another piece to the painting puzzle. Have a good night!

    Today, I hit the motherload of endorsements. 

    "Prescott is one brilliant dude, and I cannot wait to see what he cooks up, in any medium!"

    - JJ Abrams

    Yes, that actually showed up in my inbox earlier this afternoon. I am incredibly flattered and more than a little shocked. What a vote of confidence! 

    There are just days left in the contest, and the pressure is building. Please share this exciting news with social networks, and help me make IN BETA a thing!

      Fernando Crôtte sent an update for Mission 51

      To Authors in Draft Mode:

      I am now following a number of projects in draft mode, and am being followed by a number of "draftees" in turn. So I thought I’d provide some unsolicited advice and make an unrequested suggestion. :-)

      1. Draft mode is a good idea. It is a time to generate interest in your project and to refine it as much as possible. At some point, you will flip the switch from Draft Mode to Funding Mode, but before you do, consider this:

      2. It is best if your book is complete or nearly complete. People prefer to spend money on a tangible thing, a done deal, like a finished book. If your story is not yet finished, their money is not going towards a tangible thing, but rather is an investment in a person, the author, and in a promise that a good book is coming.

      3. Be willing to invest money in your own project. The number one most important thing to invest in, IMO, is on a professional-looking book cover. Get it done before you flip the Funding switch.

      4. Spend your time in Draft Mode smartly. Read as many other projects as you can and take the time to leave a Review. Not a recommendation, but a Review. These are greatly appreciated by all authors. Your name will be seen by everyone visiting that project page from that point forward. You will earn a reputation as a supporter, and you will be rewarded when you do start Funding.

      5. Finally, consider my unrequested suggestion: When you do start Funding, you will want pre-orders, reviews, recommendations, comments, and such. - While you are in draft mode, invest in my book, Mission 51. In return, when you do start funding, I will not only pre-order yours, but I will provide a review or recommendation. I will do it early in your funding campaign. I think that is a good investment/deal. If you are in draft mode and decide to take me up on this, just send me a DM when you do start funding.

      Peace and love to all!

      Ferd. :-)
