Tony Valdez liked an update for Disintegration

Hello, everyone.

I know it's been ages since my last update. I haven't had much to say, so I've been reluctant to mince words just to send something out.

I've been working almost every day on the manuscript and I have been giddy with excitement over how it is coalescing into exactly the story I want to tell. To all of you that have supported Disintegration so far, thank you again. That support has been the catalyst for my inspiration. However, with regard to my goals on Inkshares, I have further yet to go.

I spoke with Jeremy about the impending end of my campaign and how, when it arrived, I would qualify for Quill ... but Disintegration will need more than a "light edit"; it needs the works. The manuscript is epic and--while it can definitely be pared down--the more eyes on it, the better; the more rounds of editing, the better; the more professional the packaging, the better.

So, if you look at my book page, you'll notice that the Quill option has been removed. I didn't know that was going to be the result of my talks with Jeremy ... and seeing the safety net be taken away was a little frightening ... but it's just an exclamation point on that a fully funded campaign is the only way for Disintegration to truly be successful.

Additionally, we've opted to go with a paperback, which decreases the price ... which, I hope, makes Disintegration more enticing to anyone who has yet to purchase it.

On that note, more orders are crucial. If you have already supported me, and if that support indicates that you really believe in my book, please help me generate more sales. Share it with your sci-fi loving friends who aren't yet aware of it. Go tell it on the mountain.

The eBook option is now only ten bucks. The paperback is $20. I'm only halfway to fully funded, so your help is critical. If you can get just one person to buy a copy -- if all of my followers do the same -- we'll be knocking on the door of that fully funded campaign tomorrow.

Please help me to fully realize Disintegration's potential.

Thanks,
Steve

    This actually happened a couple of days ago, but I got distracted with life happening (ugh) so I'm just getting to this now.  We hit 130 orders so it's time for another raffle!  

    Congrats to....Michael Valdez!  

    I'll pull the next name out of my virtual hat at 140 orders.  

    Here in Huntsville we are awaiting our first little snowstorm of the year, so I'm hoping a little dusting of white on the ground out back will be the inspiration I need to get back to writing.  I admit, spending close to 15 hours writing the synopsis took it out of me, so I've been spending a lot of time reading to recharge my creative batteries.  

    What are you currently reading?  I'm in the middle of Mistborn Hero of Ages, and already I'm getting lots of inspiration for Shadow of the Panther (of course, reading fantasy makes me want to write fantasy), so I guess I need to get some cyberpunk into my reading rotation stat. Or just watch Blade Runner again. Or both. Hmm...
