alexandraerinThe Daily Report
Yesterday I did finish contacting donors. I said this in an update on the IndieGoGo campaign I sent out afterwards, but just to be clear, I'm not following up on all the responses with a reply email. Organization is not my strong suit, so I'm being very methodical about this. Being methodical is also not my strong suit, so I've got to do this the way it makes sense to me.
Flipside of that is that a few people have asked if they can take some time before making up their minds, and that's absolutely fine. There's not an expiration date on claiming the perks, especially since the nature of them means I wouldn't be done with them completely before the end of the year anyway.
The only things that are time-sensitive at all are the names to use for crediting in the first story after the move (which I'd need to know by early October) and the address for holiday card (which I'd need to know by December). I already have an address for everyone who requested a holiday card, I would just appreciate a confirmation that it's the correct one to use and how folks would like their cards addressed.
But the folks who paid for a story or whatever, I'd rather you take the time to come up with something meaningful to you than blurt out something because you feel pressure.
The State of the Me
Doing pretty well. I've been waking up at really reasonable hours of the morning most of the time I've been here and today's no exception, though I ended up taking a bit longer to get down to business this morning.
Plans For Today
Today's a posting day for Tales of MU, due to the schedule shift. This morning I'm going to be working on a newsletter for August.
