Episode 309: The Drafts of a Story

I think this might be two weeks in a row with me starting off with stuff that isn't necessarily the most popular stuff.

But it is part of vending, tabling at shows, doing conventions, all of those things.

I worked on more behind-the-scenes stuff.

So last week it was that.

It was kind of like working with the table setup, buying stuff, which I am still doing.

I should have a couple of packages coming in the next couple of days for other things that I need.

But what I was working on were the...

Kind of like the boring stuff online.

So I was doing the pre-launch for my next Kickstarter for Second Shift, Taken for Granite, and the fourth trade paperback.

I have been working on that for a while, but I have been adding more and more to it.

And I was able finally to get enough on there to get a pre-launch page going.

So...

And another thing that I had done was worked on my mailing list.

This is something we've talked about on the pod.

I think we even talked about it on the air.

I was asking you what you used.

It's like MailChimp or something like that is what you currently use.

Whereas our buddy Corey Kerr from the Crestline crew.

He uses Substack.

He's always talking to us about Substack.

He goes, did you read my Substack? I have that thing on Substack.

So, you know, it's kind of ingrained in my mind.

And I'm part of this cross-promotion group, as you are, for Kickstarters.

And that crowd's pretty cool to just talk to about, you know, pretty much anything.

And so I was like, hey, what do you guys use for your mailing lists? A couple of people, they're like, oh, I have it built into my website and yada, yada.
