C. Brennecke liked an update for Are You Sure You Want to Quit?

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the long absence (I’ve been busy getting ready to move and all that) but I’m back with great news! First off, you may or may not have noticed that my project Are You Sure You Want to Quit?  is officially a member of the Quill collection (YAY!), which means you’ll all be getting a copy! If you haven’t yet, order a copy now (do it) :) I decided to end the campaign early and join Quill, which means the production phase will be commencing! I’ll be working my tail off till I finish that manuscript because I know some of you are dying to find out what happens next :) Once I know the timeline I’ll be sure to keep ya’ll updated on my progress.

Lastly, I want to individually thank specific people who’ve helped me along the way, especially during that intense Nerdist contest. I want to thank my fellow lady author friends Amanda Orneck, Elayna Mae Darcy, A.C. Weston, Kendra Namednil, Regina McMenomy, Jaye Milius, and C. Brennecke for being so kind to me as a newbie to the Inkshares community and encouraging me to keep fighting throughout the contest. I gained so much confidence as a lady author and was so glad to meet other women slaying as writers and/or gamers :D If you haven’t already go check out their projects (a few are SO close to reaching Quill) because they are badass! 

I also want to thank the Inkvengers for pulling behind me during the final days and Ferd Crotte for cheering me on and giving me words of encouragement that were enough to keep the juices flowing. Ferd has 8 days left on his campaign for Mission 51 so please help him reach Quill! You don’t want to miss out on a fantastic project. I want to give a huge thank you to Elena Stofle for being patient with me and answering a bajillion of my questions, and for purchasing multiple copies she is truly awesome! And of course, a HUGE thank you to Duncan Rafferty for accepting my project into the Thane Studios Collection, designing the cover, and believing in my project when I didn’t. At times when I was derailing, Duncan managed to keep my head straight and set me back on the correct path. 

Finally, I want to thank my wonderful immediate and extended family (especially my parents and sister), my friends, acquaintances, and lab family for all of their support. Without them, this project would not have been as successful and so for that I am grateful to have such a loving and supportive group. 

Sorry if I forgot anybody and for a particularly long update! If you need me I’m always an email or DM away! Have a great weekend all! And did I mention IT’S FRIDAY!!!! :D :D :D

    I don’t have a lot to say about the mass email portion of this but while we’re all throwing in our 2 cents, let me throw in this:

    Does anybody else feel that we, as a community should agree not to ask for orders through the Inkshares direct messaging system? Can we have one avenue of communication that is off limits to pitching?

      There’s another important aspect to remember when you’re running the gauntlet of a campaign on Inkshares. Take care of yourself, mentally and physically. There are going to be a lot of day between now and November 1st. I know first hand how easy it is to obsess over your reader count, and to put in that hustle. You can get lost in it, and that’s just not good for your you-ness.

      Schedule yourself some breathing time. Take a hour, and turn off the screen. Step away from the keyboard. Breath. You’re going to have anxiety. You’re going to have fear. You’re going to have those days where everyone per-orders, and then comes the days where you might only manage a few. Maybe there will days where you don’t see any movement. This is an emotional roller coaster, and it will start to take it’s toll.

      Find that one thing you love and treat yourself to it.  Have a night out with your friends. Sitting there all night refreshing the page won’t change anything, so focus in on you, the writer. You’re an amazing person who took a chance at a crazy thing. Be proud of that. Celebrate that, because this will not be easy.

      And when it gets hard, when you get frustrated or stressed, reach out. Many of us here have been through a rocky campaign, and we know what it’s like. If you’re worried about bothering another writer, don’t. Message me.

      So hang in there and take care of you.
