Not that I'm closely watching the sales figures to see how Sunken Treasure is doing or anything, but Sunken Treasure is doing great, and if the last two days are any indication, my Operation Crazy Idea to release more original material using this kind of POD technology and distribution is going to quickly become Operation Awesome Idea that will let me create more cool stuff for my audience than I ever dreamed possible, and actually support my family doing it. Just less than a year ago, I wondered if I could apply Kevin Kelly's business model to my work and make a living, and though I won't know for about a month or so if it's really working, it has never felt as realistically attainable as it does right now.
I have a lot of Crazy Ideas that have Awesome potential, including more original works of fiction, audio and video projects, and something that I've wanted to do my whole life but didn't think I could ever — well, I'm getting way ahead of myself, but I sure am excited, and I wouldn't feel this way without your support. So thank you. You who have supported me, however you've chosen to do it, you totally rock, and I hope to continue earning your support until they turn the lights out on planet Earth. \mm/
A quick reminder before I get back to work: If you wanted to get the bonus audio content (a live audio performance of See a Little Light, an outtake from Happiest Days of Our Lives, which I included in Sunken Treasure, because it turns out that I liked it a lot, and shouldn't have cut it from Happiest Days in the first place), get your order in before 3pm Pacific today, because that's when the download link goes to the Land of Wind and Ghosts. If you pay with an eCheck and it tells you it will take 4 days to clear, don't worry. Just e-mail me a copy of your receipt (appropriately redacted, of course) and I'll send you the link. But do it before 3pm Pacific today, because like keys dropped into a volcano, once it's gone, it's gone, man.
