Had to pause the new developmental edit to work on layout for another book! Hope to finish that tomorrow. Also did a little audio narration!
The Book Bazaar starts in 2 days! It's going to be lots of fun!

Worked on the new developmental edit today, then cleaned out a Flowhive frame colonized by wax moths. Had to take the whole thing apart. Ick!

It's the end of the first trilogy, but not the end of the series! Read Ardulum: Third Don by J.S. Fields, find out how this story concludes, and then jump into the next book!

The best way to learn how to crowdfund is to do it! We've got a lot of great people in this group and you should check out all their work.
Fund indie creators directly, not big businesses!

3 DAYS!

It's a lot of first timers in the book bazaar. But we have some very experienced members too (shoutout to @pubgob.bsky.social, @wctracy.bsky.social & @belindacrawford.bsky.social ) who have helped our newer members get up to speed!

Wondered if you could do a crowdfund? Ask! #tbbcountdown
3 days until the book Bazaar! If you've never done a crowdfund, what do you think you'd need to start one? If it's advice, ask the question!

Did a Space Wizard book inventory today, and also checked on the bees. They're doing well, and ready to go into winter with lots of honey stores!
I also got started on a developmental edit for a book coming out next year!

Looking to continue the journey? It's like if Firefly didn't get canceled! Read Ardulum: Second Don by J.S. Fields, and discover the slow-burn romance, but watch out for talking fungi!

And, you can now preorder Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back on Amazon or on our website!

A little more work on the new Space Wizard campaign today, but also ordered a ton of Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back books!
And then spruced up the Space Wizard store a bit.

The Book Bazaar is a collective of creators bringing you some amazing projects this November. It's a great way to support small businesses instead of corporations about Black Friday!

One silly thing we're doing internally as The Book Bazaar gets ready to launch on @backerkit.com is giving out virtual "top hats"

If you have 25 followers on your launch page, you're ready to launch! But if you have 50 followers, you've part of an EXCLUSIVE CLUB! 🎩

Finished up same last bits on the new Space Wizard campaign (including the intro video)! I also complete some CE engineering courses to keep my PE certificate current. Learned some interesting stuff about solar power setups!

So it's just...all the queer books. At once.
Yes all of them. That one too. And that other one you were thinking of. And their covers are all AMAZING.

SIX DAYS REMAIN!!

Not every project calls for crowdfunding, but I'm sure you can think of one that would.

Give us the toilet pitch for your dream project. It's like an elevator pitch but you just got the call of a lifetime mid-morning constitution.

Six days until the book Bazaar! Write one sentence pitching your dream project in the worst (or funniest) possible way.

Turns out shutting down the government, cancelling SNAP payments, and raising health insurance price over an election cycle isn't a great idea! Keep the pressure on by only supporting small businesses around Black Friday!

Just called my GOP Senators in NC with this script:

It's day 36 of the government shutdown and this is now the longest one in history. Last night Americans across the country showed they solidly refute the corrupt Trump administration at the ballot box. Are you ready to listen yet, senator?

Shipped final packages for the June Space Wizard campaign today! Also picked up a free FlowHive super from a beekeeper who was getting out of it. It's filled with wax moths, but it'll clean up nice for next year's harvest!
