The outpouring of support for this first 12 for ’12 drive has been both humbling and outstanding. We unlocked Book 2 last night, and we’re steaming straight ahead. I feel like I have the best family, friends, and fans around, and I want to do something big to thank you all for it. This morning, we cracked the $9,000 mark, …

This evening, a generous backer pledged a whopping $500 to tip the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive over the $8,000 mark. That unlocks Book 2! Woo-hoot! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about that. It validates the whole unlocking model, it shows how much faith the backers all have in the project, and it means I get two write …

Well, technically, tomorrow at noon we have exactly three full days left on my first Kickstarter drive for the 12 for ’12 project, but either way, we’re getting close. We have just about 88 hours from now until it comes to a close, and I’m dying to see how it all shakes out in the end. Over the past couple …

We only have one week left for this first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive. It ends next Sunday, December 4 at noon Central Time. (That’s 12/4 12:00, get it?) Thanks to all of you who have offered support over the past three weeks. I’ve been floored by the project’s success so far, and I owe it all to you. It …

Over at SFFWRTCHT (Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writers Chat), Bryan Thomas Schmidt interviews me about a whole load of different things, including primarily my 12 for ’12 project. It wound up being an extensive interview that goes on for a long bit, but that’s what happens when you cover that much ground. Then, over at Squid Eye and the Bitter Guy, …

We only have 12 days left in my first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive, so it’s time to make a special announcement. One of the most frequent requests I’ve gotten for new rewards is to figure out some way to include copies of the original Brave New World RPG. Because I don’t publish that game – my friends at AEG do – …

This morning, bestselling author Mike Stackpole chipped in what we needed to crack $6,000, which brings our total to 200% of our goal! That puts us only $2k away from unlocking Book 2. I have little doubt we’ll be able to manage that within the next 15 days, but the real push will be toward reaching the final stretch goal …

Today, three articles about my 12 for ’12 project appeared. In the first, on the Civilian Reader website, I wrote a guest post about “What Is Brave New World?” It’s a question that comes up a lot, of course, and I tried to nail down the answer. Next, I wrote a guest post for Bryan Thomas Schmidt’s SFFWRTCHT website. (That’s …

Today sees two excellent interviews with me about 12 for ’12 and writing in general. In the first, über-writer Chuck Wending gave me one of the most challenging and intriguing sets of questions I’ve ever faced outside of a police station. The conversation ranged from 12 for ’12 to Carpathia to advice about both writing and parenting, and it turns out …

As part of my efforts to promote my 12 for ’12 project and its first Kickstarter drive (which is up to 191% and lurching toward unlocking Book 2!), I’m doing a bit of a blog tour. Today, I have guest posts that went up on two different websites, and in both cases, I wrote about writing fast. Over at SFSignal, …
