A Special Thanks

Over the last few days, I've gotten a slew of well wishes, pick-me-up messages, and overall voices of concern over the Kickstarter failing.  Some are asking if I'm okay.  Others telling me not to stop trying.  One quoting one of my own character's favorite tag-lines (see image to the left).  I gotta say, it's quite touching.  I mean that.  To have so many expressing their feelings about, well, my feelings, it's nice to see.  So thank you.

There's no cause for alarm though.  This is far from the end.  I've quoted the Last Lecture before, but I'll do so again.  "The walls are there to test how much you want things."

Let's face it, the wall I'm looking at now is a pretty big one.  It doesn't change anything.  I'll find a way around it.  I don't know how yet.  Between a rather aggressive stomach flu and the failed Kickstarter, I decided to take a couple days to find my head, much less screw it back on, before I did anything.  I'm reaching that state now, so hopefully I'll have a game plan by Monday.

And it's not like the work is all for naught.  I still have the commissioned art coming in, so that gives me some options.  "Luna, the Lone Wolf" is finished, or as finished as I can make it.  Work on "Blood of an Alpha" is moving fast.  I have short stories I could fix up, and they might lead to something.  I have a sci-fi that I thought had a final draft, but now realize it needs serious world building help, which means it can only get better.  I have two fantasy stories I haven't delved into (yet).  Then there's the wild card I haven't thought of, whatever that may be.

So really, I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the messages I've been getting.  I also hope you all know, you needn't worry.  The blog will continue for one.  My efforts on getting published will too for another.  That doesn't count the continuing work on "Blood of an Alpha".  "Luna, the Lone Wolf" will be published.  By my original date of September 2015?  Stranger things have happened to me.

Still, thank you.  It means a lot to know I have people who care.  I hope to reward your words of encouragement soon.  For now, I leave you with the same words one of you reminded me of.

"Have a little faith."

It was heartwarming for me to hear an accomplished and successful writer accept you as an author, and express her faith in you. That I admire her as a person, was impressed with the way she handled her reading and book signing, and thoroughly enjoy her work only added to my pleasure. Even though she already knew you were forging ahead, you can add her name to the list of people who felt the need to tell you to not give up. I think we know you won't. Some of us just have the need to say it to you (for you), anyway. What you did with your Kickstarter campaign was impressive and amazing, the final results notwithstanding.

    "Be You"

    "Let your words be eternal yet time honored.  True yet not betraying.  Strong yet uplifting.  Challenging yet harmless.  But above all, let all you say, do, and be, remain forever and exclusively you."
    - Forest Wells

    A blessing, and perhaps a personal hope, for this blog and so much more.
