Orders, Faoii! Listen up!

I am incredibly honored and humbled by the slew of private couriers bringing me letters in the last day. So many of you have offered me congratulations and praise for this newest milestone of ours. Quill is no small feat, and I am proud of all of us. However, I was surprised by how many of you said "Congratulations! Now maybe you can get some sleep."

Does this fight look like it’s over to you, Faoii? Get back in line.

No. We are still 2 weeks away from the end of the Geek and Sundry Contest. We gathered this army so that we could fight to the top of that hill and we will still do it. Two weeks to overtake 3 people. We overtook 300 in less than that. How dare we give up now?

We need more soldiers. Ask people. Directly. Do not be afraid of talking to them. Do not be ashamed for seeking aide. That hill cannot be taken without more blades on the field-- and we cannot get those warriors without seeking them out. Yes, the book will definitely appear appear on Amazon in the future-- but I can’t sign copies of books purchased after the fact. If your friends want a signed copy of The Last Faoii they MUST join our battle. Remind them that waiting won’t give them the chance to name one of 3 characters or a free edit from an English teacher and soon-to-be-published author. Remind them that this world is worthy of leading in that contest.

Remind them that we are faoii.

Two weeks. I will see you at the top of that hill.

    WE DID IT, FAOII! WE REACHED QUILL!

    Five years of working on this. 200 agents that either said "no thanks" or nothing at all. Dozens of re-writes. Thousands of moments of doubt. All of it has finally come to this. We reached Quill. No matter what happens now, this book will be a physical, real thing. People will be able to read Kaiya’s story. Her world will not be lost to oblivion. 

    Thanks to all of you.

    I can not adequately explain my feelings on the matter. For so long, this has been my everything. And now there’s finally a chance of it becoming more than that. Mostly, I feel humbled. Elated. Terrified. Alive. 

    It is wonderful.

    The battle isn’t over, of course. There’s still a couple weeks left in the Geek and Sundry Contest. It’s going to be hard-- damn near impossible, actually-- but according to the rejection-letter-origami-zoo I have sitting in my office, so was getting this far. "Impossible" is just a word, and not one that is in faoii vocabulary.

    We’ve made it this far. We can take that hill, and we can still claim more victories in the final month before the campaign ends. The idea of "failure" is officially behind us-- there is no losing now.

    Fight on, Faoii. I have never been so proud of this army as I am now. 

    Thank you for everything.
