Sometimes doing the thing is scary…

I did a thing.

Kickstarter has this program called Make 100. They started it last year and it was a success do they opened it up again this year. The basic gist is you come up with 100 unique, limited edition things you promise to make. You build a project on their platform and if you publish it with Make 100 in the title between January 1st and January 31st they will market it with their Make 100 tag.

I have tried to Kickstarter before with next to no success so I figured why not try again.

I decided to make 100 5×7 original paintings. I set the funding level at a reasonable percentage of those and I launched my project.

Now I am 31% funded with 60% of the timeframe for funding left.

I have never gotten this far on Kickstarter before and I find myself equally exhilarated and anxiety ridden. Will I get there? I’m on target to get there statistics wise. How can I make sure I get there? People really seem to like my stuff! Can I make sure I get there? Am I just dreaming? What’s going on!! AaaaacccckkKK!

It’s a little intense over here in my head just now. I advise you to stay a reasonable distance from it.

See, I even got a great short-link. Now, I am going to close my Kickstarter dashboard and stop willing the funding level to increase because I am pretty sure that is the one thing that will not actually work.
