“I know, if I back it, I’ll finally have a version of the book I’ll have time to finish.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was the comment left by the backer who pushed the Hidden Things<\/em> audiobook project<\/a> through the last step to the $1200 goal, only five days after we opened the kickstarter.<\/p>\n

That’s right:<\/strong> over the weekend, the kickstarter reached the baseline funding goal – no matter what else happens, the project has funded<\/em> – we are\u00a0going to make an audiobook, and release a free, DRM-free podcast of the story, and put out six-pack collections of those podcasts.<\/p>\n

It feels fantastic to write those words.<\/p>\n

The Next Hurdle<\/h2>\n

There are still eighteen days left in the kickstarter, and while I’m entirely satisfied with funding the baseline project and doing a great audiobook, the first stretch goal is tantalizingly close. In case anyone’s forgotten what it is, I’ll be talking about it — the Little Things<\/em> short story collection and accompanying audio recording — in just a few days.<\/p>\n

In other words, we are still accepting backers<\/a>, we’re still working to make the best quality stuff we can, and we still have a long ways to go on the fundraising portion of the project.<\/p>\n

But first…<\/h2>\n

It will surprise no one that Tim White<\/a> and I have already started preliminary recording (if nothing else, we had to get down the audio for the kickstarter introduction video), but those first attempts have yielded exciting complications<\/em> that I’m going to tell you about tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait? Here’s a preview:<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This is part of a microphone that failed to meet Tim’s performance standards. It will never make that mistake again.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tune in tomorrow for more exciting tales of audio recording.<\/p>\n

Until then…<\/p>\n

Hooray! We’re funded!<\/h1>\n
