Trying Out Dreamwidth

I am trying out Dreamwidth and hoping I can make some friends here. So few people are left on Live Journal and sometimes, I need the help and opinions of trusted friends.

I hear there is a way to transfer everything from your LJ over here to Dreamwidth. I would LOVE to do that as my LJ goes back a few thousand years...


Cheers!

Kickstarter Update

My Kickstarter is now officially 2 years overdue. I have kept in contact with the contributors and I feel terrible about it, but there isn't anything that could have been done. And I'm pretty sure that because of this project, I will never get to run another successful Kickstarter again under my own name. Because all the people that fell through on this project did so under my name. :(

I posted an update, which I've included below. It doesn't mention anything about having had 4 jobs since 2014, the fact that I've spent every year unemployed for a significant period of time because I was a contractor, and the fact that I am now officially going to have to go to the food bank or starve because I can't find a full time position anywhere. I feel pretty bad about everything tonight... But I suck it up and do the hard thing... I face the problem head on and just keep working on it till I get it done. Here is the update:

update:
Greetings all! I just wanted to drop a line letting you know that Shannon Bennion is working on the rest of the inking (shading). Color, lettering and final layout are next. That will complete the book!

This has been an incredible learning process for us. The project has become stalled several times and honestly, it makes me feel very sad that that happened. I paid 3 artists who did not deliver before landing on the wonderfully talented Shannon Bennion (who has been amazing). I've added another writer to the mix. I had a major injury wherein I went over the handlebars of my bike and landed directly on my face on the concrete cracking my eye-orbit (ya, I broke my face...), had stitches, concussion, neck and back injuries, and hurt my leg. While in the process of healing from those injuries, it was discovered that the accident had exacerbated a condition I have in my back causing the condition to begin deteriorating my ability to walk, sit, or stand for any length of time. It was finally discovered this week that the condition is actually completely separate from the accident and I've been recommended to go to a specialist. Wish me luck in this! It is hope! <3

Here is the biggest thing that I learned. I will never let anything stand in the way of doing something I promised I would do. I will never let anything stand in the way of doing something I dream of. I keep forging new paths sometimes around these obstacles and sometimes I cut right the hell through them. Because I will NOT give up until this project is done and I can look proudly on the finished product as we pack it up and send it out to all of you generous, patient, and amazing people. You have stood by me for 3 years waiting for this project to complete. You have been encouraging, loving, curious, and helpful. So many of you are friends already and others have become friends since this project launched. I have a lot of feels for you right now; can't help but be moved by your support.

Thank you again. We are marching forward. Onward and upward!

Cheers!

Aron, Scott, Shannon, and me...
