It’s fun, some of the…

It's fun, some of the things I've done in the last few weeks to promote the Kickstarter project. For example, I wrote a very very short thing for Joanne Merriam's 7x20, a Twitter project celebrating very very short literature:

"She swore she would never compare breasts to mangoes again. So plump, so juicy, so orange."

Neat!

The list of other related postings is getting pretty long now. I may even have missed some, but this is what I remember so far:

• TimeOut Chicago piece
• Body Impolitic interview
• Tobias Buckell conversation
• Stephen Gaskell interview
• Kickstarter's most popular page

And there are the various pieces I wrote:

• why I came back to erotica
• why it's important to write about sex
• why I'm writing science fiction

There are definite little bumps in donations every time one of these goes up, which is nice, since typically the Kickstarter graph has a big peak at the beginning, a long trough, and a big peak at the end. I don't know if I'm going to make it -- I'm at about $2250 now, and it's a ways from there to $8000. But it's definitely not impossible, and I'm going to hustle like mad for the next week, doing more interviews and promos and such. Eight days left to fund the project! Wish me luck!
