Today was long!!

Here is your... Museday Mix: Goren Edition!

I'll have you know I tried to listen to a Justin Bieber song for this mix, and I just couldn't do it. You're going to have to settle for this "Shawn Mendes" person, and One Direction because Goren loves One Direction un-ironically.

(And if you're not totally into the PacRim+Taylor Swift combo... it's amazing and I feel sorry for you.)

Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd 
Can't Hold Us - Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis
Drag Me Down - One Direction
Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Meaghan Trainor ft John Legend
Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
We Are Young - fun.
Riptide - Vance Joy
Polaroid - Imagine Dragons
Stitches (acoustic) - Shawn Mendes and Hailee Steinfeld
Coat of Armour - George Ezra
No Pulse - Ramin Djawadi (from the Pacific Rim Soundtrack)
Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

    Hm hmm hmm.

    Tra la la.

    What? What's that, you say? Something... happened?

    Hmm. I suppose I should read the latest message from Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas...



    AHHHH! CHANGES ARE COMING!!!

    Here's a quick rundown, my dear friends, family, and followers:

    New total pre-order goal: 750 instead of 1,000
    New tier for "light" publishing (light editing, limited marketing and distribution): 250 pre-orders
    New pre-order price: $20 for trade paperback + ebook, $30 for hardcover

    There are some other changes, but you should just read the whole announcement to get a sense of what is to come.

    I've put 14 years of development and 5 years of writing into this manuscript. Alex is a brutal developmental editor (love you, honey!). I'm so confident in this book, and I really think the light publishing track will produce something that I will be proud of... but I still want to shoot for the gold. I want to reach 750 pre-orders. I want to send you all signed first-edition copies of my gorgeous, illustrated book!

    So... onward! If you know of anyone who might want to order my book, tell them to order before Oct 30th at noon to get it at the lower price.

    And thank you, really, you who have already ordered. Thank you.

    NOW, AN UPCOMING EVENT:

    I have acquired a promoter (who is very enthusiastic and also particularly smart and beautiful). Leah has arranged a reading + costume contest + photo booth + scifi trivia event at Mugshots Coffee Company this Friday night!!! Is it crazy for me to suggest you drive to Minneapolis if you're not from here? I DON'T CARE! Come to this event!

    Look at this postcard she made to advertise it:



    And she's been making these graphic thingies that are pretty cool, too:



    And she even made this author quote thing from that rant I went on in an earlier update!!



    Look at all this! Is this what it feels like when people believe in you? This is WEIRD but also COOL and I like it in the sense that I've worked really hard on this book and now people are seeing value in it and talking about it, which is GREAT. But I'm also, you know, hyperventilating with anxiety from all the pressure, hahahahAHAAHAHahahaha. It's all good, don't worry. It doesn't count as bravery if you're not scared.

    Thank you, Leah. You're amazing. And the rest of you are amazing, too!

    I hope to see you Friday...
