@publishingkickstarters-blog / publishingkickstarters-blog.tumblr.com

in the vast and beautiful world of crowdfunding, there are people who want you to pay for them to take a few months off work and finish that guaranteed-to-be-a-NYT-bestseller novel they've been working on for thirty years.
these are their stories.
all selected quotes are 100% real. no, i will not give you a link to their page.

Hello friends, My  name is glenn and i  am  writing  a book called glenns  little book of quotes , i have a very good start  on the publication and as of  now i have put together  quit a few quotes. This  may sound  easy  to do but it isnt,  it takes  drive, determination and  perseverance,i  have  all those  qualities but this  is work and i love work . The  finished project is what makes it all worth while. The goal is to give the reader a thought for the day and lighten the  mood , and put a smile on his or her face.              The funds are going to be used for publishing and distribution along with  some moderate advertising .I am extremely excited   about this project  because i have been so inspired  all my life by  family, friends and people in general, and by being a good listener  i  have picked up on a lot of  useful things that have gotten me to this point in my career.  I have been  successful  in all the  other areas  of  my carreer and  i have  nonething  but  good  feelings  about writing  and completing  this  book.                           Risks and challenges For starters i have obtained a lawyer for copywriting issues ,also a proof reader has been obtained which is a neccessity. By obtaining theses key people on this project i am narrowing the window between completion of the book and sales. i have been seeking out and interviewing distribution and publishing companies . i plan to also have a hand in advertising.

The money requested is to help subsidize living expenses while I work on the book. I work full time and writing a book with that and other obligations can be somewhat frustrating. What I am looking for is not a free ride but simply a little help as I will continue to work and just take a few days off here and there where I feel more creative to get larger sections of the book done. However in my current financial situation I cannot afford any time off. So I am asking for funding to subsidize my time when needed to write my book and get it published.

I am currently almost completely done with editing the first book, but I only have one working computer which is now trying to destroy the whole thing. Currently in the mindset that I would sell a kidney if it would get me great protection.

At the beginning of all was common expedition - same like many others before - wander with metal detector in woods, old abandoned buildings and ancient ruins, looking for some signs of hidden cellars like holes on the ground or sound of hollow when you tread heavily. As there are always the best treasures to find than anywhere else. Usually the best discovery was couple of copper or in better case silver coins or broken dagger. But this time it was different - inside a small inconspicuous hill in underground den was found a metal tube. Yes, something was inside, packed in old leather sleeve - it was a Book, not exactly book more likely note or diary! After careful inspection was find out it is : Memoir of Mere Human - who was  seeking power and strenght ! Why ?!? The reasons you will find in story, of course. ... and based on this Memoir our story of [title] was created.

I have been writing for some time and I think I'm starting to get good at it. You can judge for yourself at my website [link removed]. Simply put, very few good novels are being found, published, and read these days. It would be nice to be able to actually focus just on writing instead of constantly pursuing my dream secondary to working another job and paying the bills. If a top ten pop artist can sell 100,000 copies or less of their music, why can't a writer of literary fiction enjoy the same success? The funds will support me through the next two months of research and in doing the writing. I already have a theme and rough outline and this story is coming together better than anything I have done. The book with be metaphysical, thematically. It will focus on a Viking and what it means to disobey the fundamental laws of the universe.

Introduction to Chapter One: His groan muffled by my neck and the slump of his body against mine let me know he had found his release. A few more minutes and I could shove him off of me and ask him to leave. The needy side of me that longed to bend over backwards to please others didn’t let me push him off immediately. Apparently men seem to find great peace in those moments when their cocks are tucked inside a vagina. I guess it has something to do with the safety of the womb; it’s as close as they can come to re-entry.

So I started crafting an alternate reality and really only changed a few recent events (the last 150 years or so).  Those events ripple out in significant in ways and dramatically change the world into something unique and awesome. Here are a few examples:   1.  Instead of 3 countries in North America (Canada, U.S., and Mexico), there are 8.  I don't want to get too specific, but I will say that Alaska is called Russian America and shares a border with its neighbor to the south: Spanish California.

Other risk is not being to find the right publishing company. This is the main challenge right now, and with your financial support, I will be able to utilize all the resources and tools I have in my possession to land a publishing deal and hopefully make this one of the most popular novels and turn it into a movie.

I need your help to take some time off from university so that I can give of myself to the research that is required for that book. believe me it's gonna be the best book you have ever read. Risks and challenges the biggest risk on paper is not finding a publisher. However that shouldn't be a real problem 'cause I'm not that bad regarding marketing (one of my fields of study at university).
