www.Patreon.com is a crowdfunding site, kind of like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, but Patreon is concerned with ongoing funding. The idea is that someone who creates online content can get continuing funding from a group of people in return for doing what they would probably do anyway. I'm looking into it with the idea of creating chapters of Kelly Girl in return for funding to go to BigCloset.
Would anyone be be interested in supporting this idea? Does anyone else contribute to someone thru Patreon or get funds from Patreon?
This is a difficult part of the story, next episode effectively ends the beginning of the tale and prepares to enter a more complex middle with new characters and new situations for Drew and his Mom -- or Annie and her sister. ;>
Writing for a character that seems to have a mind of her own is a hoot. It's some of the most fun that a writer can have. Drew/Annie in TIP is such a character. One of the funniest things about writing for her are the things she seems to think but isn't willing to write down. After all, she's supposed to be telling the story and some things are just too embarrassing. ;>
I've got the next one almost done and plan to post it Thursday or Friday. And for the furriners who don't play baseball, well, stay tune. ;>
Well, I'm late posting the next Incognito. It's done but I want to be an episode or two ahead when I post. Plus, I'm aiming for longer posts, around 2000 words instead of 1200.
But the story is going nicely for me, Drew is easy to write. And the suggestions last time of names for girl-Drew sparked some ideas. ;>
I'm thinking of taking suggestions on the story. Well, it should be obvious where things are going or why post on BC and SD? ;>
So how about some suggestions? Like, what Drew's name should be, what should Mom's name be? They can't use their own names, even if Drew would be perfectly fine for a girl.
There were two other versions of Kelly Girl before I started and stuck with the one that's posted in several places on the web and available through Lulu as an eBook and paperback.
