Hey everyone!
My eyes have long since gone cross-eyed and bloodshot over the past couple days, endlessly staring at the computer and pitching my book to every soul on the internet. So I thought I'd take a quick sanity breather and wish you all a happy middle of the week.
DAX COUNTDOWN: 17 days, 68 orders to publishing
I've been surprisingly fairly relaxed as the countdown to the campaign deadline has been steadily approaching. That said, I will now use my aforementioned break time to illustrate my thoughts, in the calm, collected demeanor which those who know me personally are well familiar...
PANIC! SHEER AND UTTER PANIC!
IN MUPPETY EXAGGERATION!
IN "DINOSAURS ARE COMING TO EAT US" PROPORTIONS!
And so on...
And so on...
Almost done...
Little more muppety...
A little bit Weasley...
Just a little bit spongy...
Last one. This one is actually more my style.
Ok, moment over. Honestly guys, I'm not that worried. Ok, a little worried. Not THAT worried. But animated GIFs are fun.
To my other authors here on Inkshares, I applaud you and your efforts. This has been my first crowdfunding experience, and it is a dance, a race, sometimes a slog, but also amazing and rewarding.
So authors, readers, and assorted random followers who just happened to follow me back: let's all take a collective deep breath...
Thanks, Sherlock. *over-dramatic-yet-refreshing sigh* All right then, back to the grind.
And if any of you still need help finding your calm, get a trusty friend to give you the Airplane treatment...
Or better yet, just go watch Airplane. That movie is amazing and still holds up.

We're number 2! I'm over the moon! I recorded it for posterity because this is a momentous occasion. I want to stay number 2 for the next month, but I know too much is in flux in this sort of contest, so I'm going to enjoy this present moment and let it energize me for the weeks ahead.
