I just posted my first project at Kickstarter.com to help me introduce "The Other Side of 30" in the form of the new Partial Audio Book (PAB) to the world. Although I'm only asking for pledges to fund 1,000 copies, I'm pretty pleased with the idea. As you might notice, I'm feeling much better than I was when I posted my last blog. I'm actually excited to be an innovator.
I'm not sure if this means that I'll have to trademark my idea, but I guess it does. Just to make sure nobody rips me off if the PAB takes off. Geez. Trademark applications are expensive as heck. (See, I said heck. I MUST be feeling better.) But the PAB may be worth it. I guess we'll see if I can get $10,000 worth of pledges to get the project off the ground. Why not me, right? I was browsing the site and saw that some lady raised over $100,000 for her film project. And according the the Kickstarter guidelines, she would have had to do it in 90 days or less.
I'm only asking for 45 days to get mine funded. Ideally, I'd like to have the PAB completed and ready for distribution by my Uncle Greene's birthday on 16 September. Also the date I plan to have the "Up from Here" book published. *Sigh* I just miss him so much, and I want to do things that would honor him and make him proud.
Well, time to go update my AngelList.co profile. Maybe now, I can get someone to consider New Renaissance Ink as a worthy startup. We'll see. I wonder if I should change the PAB to Promotional Audio Book instead of Partial Audio Book. Hmmm. Thinking...thinking. Thinking too much, as usual. Oh well. More to come later.
