Portolan Project Phase 1 Kickstarter

Okay, Portolan Project Phase 1 Kickstarter submitted for approval. Fingers crossed it’s approved, and we can launch on October 1st — if you love me (or just appreciate the work I do for the writing / lit. community), please help spread the word, and/or donate if you’re in a position to do so.

This project is basically my baby for the next 5-10 years, I think. You’re going to hear me talking about it a LOT. We now have TEN of the Deep Dives modules ready (thanks to Summer van Houten and Paul Goerner); it’s very exciting. 🙂

If you’d like to be tagged into our Kickstarter launch day post, please comment below, and I’ll be very happy to do so. It really helps having a nice big surge of support on launch day!

That’s one of my three tasks that I’ve been procrastinating on that really HAD to get done today. I can feel a little tension has dropped out of my shoulders. Lunch break, then on to the next one.
