Writer's Corner # 4

April 20th - via: kickstarter.com
Well folks, The last Wednesday in the campaign means our final bit of writing advice is here. We saved a couple of great pieces of advice for last. But before we go into it I wanted to share a bit of a "eureka moment" from yesterday. As many of you... (Read More)

The Home Stretch

April 19th - via: kickstarter.com
We are quickly approaching the final 48 hours of this campaign. I'll do a pretty big post campaign reflection to ask myself what did and didn't work this time out. Each one of these campaigns presents an opportunity for me to become a better... (Read More)

Happy Monday

April 14th - via: kickstarter.com
If you didn't catch yesterday's video I'll sum it up here: I'm grateful. I'm tired. I'm ready to take Ennead to the next level. That said, in order to know where you're heading you have to know where you've been. Let's take a look at the numbers over... (Read More)

Writer's Corner #3

Afternoon Backers, Tomorrow I'll be back to crunch some key numbers as we enter the final week of the campaign. I've got a few things to work through on my end before things wrap up next Thursday: Finalize letters in Book 7 Review Book 1 for color... (Read More)

I Did it My Way

April 12th - via: kickstarter.com

Emotional Roller Coaster

April 11th - via: kickstarter.com
Happy Monday folks! If you've never run a Kickstarter you may not know this but these things are emotional roller coasters. After a great start, we rode this thing to the top of that first big drop... and then we stalled. But if you've ever been to... (Read More)

C'est La Vie

April 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Happy Thursday! WHAT. A. WEEK. I'd written out all my updates for the week but I wanted to check in "live" today. Funny thing, what I typed on Monday actually fits the reason for my check in perfectly. See what I mean below: ... "Let me stop myself.... (Read More)

Writer's Corner # 2

April 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Folks, This week is off to a great start! So much so that I wanted to share something a bit personal with you all today instead of going on about the campaign. Check out the video below for that. My wife and I are going on our first "staycation"... (Read More)

Two Weeks and Counting

April 5th - via: kickstarter.com

It Was a Good Day

April 1st - via: kickstarter.com
Happy Friday! I gotta say, it was a good day today. No static from the cowards, no AKs, no helicopters looking for a murder... my mom didn't cook me breakfast though. I digress, though for the record, this is arguably my favorite hip hop song of all... (Read More)

Can I Be Honest?

March 31st - via: kickstarter.com
I mentioned yesterday that Kickstarter campaigns can get monotonous, they can also be a mindf**k. What do I mean? Well this campaign is shaping up to be Ennead's best in each way possible yet I find myself wondering if I did "enough" before it... (Read More)

Happy Wednesday folks! I've run a few Kickstarters over the last few years and if I'm being honest: it get's kind of monotonous.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the rush of seeing the "New backer" notification, I enjoy getting to respond to... (Read More)

Slowly But Surely

March 29th - via: kickstarter.com
As Week # 2 begins I am once again blown away by the show of early support. Turns out we are just $109 away from breaking the second highest funding total Ennead has had here on the platform... in under 10 days! Anyone interested in upgrading a... (Read More)

A Look Behind the Veil

March 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Well folks, we did something special last week. $6k worth of funding is Ennead's best single week on the platform... by a mile. With nearly $3k more in funding after the first week than in any of my other 4 campaigns there's no telling where this one... (Read More)

Return of The (Number) King

March 24th - via: kickstarter.com
What a start!  This campaign has blown me away.  I can't remember if I used this corny dad joke of a title last campaign or not but who cares? It's everything I am: a dad, fantasy fan, and flat out corny.  Unlike my typical number crunch updates I... (Read More)

Now we Stretch!

March 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Now that we've hit our goal (and then some) it's time for Stretch Goals! If you're new here all that means is for each new "Stretch Goal" we hit, there's a new reward. In some cases it'll be for everyone and in others it'll just be for certain tiers.... (Read More)

That was an EPIC Day 1

March 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Wow.  5 campaigns in, the rush of hitting launch is still the same. I managed to go about 2 months with no nerves- prelaunch, finishing Book 7, planning, marketing- nothing. 3 minutes before hitting "Ready to Launch" I was pacing back and forth like... (Read More)
