Book Project: The first 24 hours.

CLICK HERE TO BUY MY BOOK

 

You guys are so so SO SOOOOO AMAZING!! It's been about 24 hours and here's our progress so far:

 

 

And beyond that, your words of encouragement mean so incredibly much to me. Thank you all for the fantastic comments and support in whatever way you've contributed so far.  

 

Some people have asked some really terrific questions.  Here they are with the answers:

 

So what's the news?

Here are all of the details.

 

What kind of book will it be?

The book will be a story in words, photographs, and illustrations that both children and adults will enjoy.

 

Will the book be hardcover?

Yep!! 

 

Can I donate at the Festival?

Absolutely! You can visit my booth at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival the next 2 weekends for more information.

 

If I can't donate money, how can I help?

You can tell your friends! =) At the bottom of this note, there should be a share button that you can use to post on your Facebook wall. You can also update Twitter, your blog, send emails, or even talk to your friends and family the old fashioned way =)

 

What if you raise more than your goal?

All funds raised will be directly put toward the success of the project with one exception: A portion of funds in excess of my goal will be donated to The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.  I will share more details about this organization and why I picked it in another update coming soon.

 

Thanks again everyone for everything you've done so far and for your consideration! We've got a long way to go but I really believe we can do this if we all work together for the next 2 weeks =)

      ‎"What if you raise more than your goal?" ! What an absurd question! Did anyone stop to think to ask that question of Bill Gates or Oprah or the homeless man on the side of the road? With the exception of multi-millionaire CEOs who laid off... more people to reach those figures, does anyone feel they're paid what they're worth or more than they're worth for what they contribute to the world? "I won't send you money if you're going to spend the excess foolishly." What would you spend excess on, or would you spend it at all? See More

      Twig, Do you write poetry and do you plan on including any of yours or other ppl's poetry in your book? Just an idea... maybe you could have a poetry contest to help raise money for the production of the book. One suggestion is to have po...ets send their best fairy poems to you with a small minimal charge to submit them. Like $X amount for the 1st poem, $X amount for the 2, $X amount for 3 poems and so on and so forth. Increasing the amount for more submissions while decreasing the amount PER poem. In the end have you, Twig, pick her top X amount favorites and publish them in the back of the book. It's just an idea not just to raise money for you but also to add to the book while including your fans, like the credits for donations. Have a WONDERFUL day!!!
      LOVE TO YOU ALL,
