July Monthly Post

What are your planned crowdfunding projects for July? What did you accomplish during June?

The July Creative Jam would be Saturday 15-Sunday 16.  I expect to be unavailable then.  If someone else would like to run that Creative Jam, please speak up.

I am running a fiction sale and dialecticdreamer is matching the words.

Yay!

That's exciting news.

My crowdfunding plans for July:

Crowdfunding Events in July!

In chronological order, I am

- Hosting the Poetry Fishbowl Linkback on Tuesday, 4 July. (American Independence Day) and the usual process will make the day's entry pop with surprises, but they're MUCH quieter than fireworks, I assure you all!

- Magpie Monday will be on Monday, 10 July. I missed the festival-creativity of it, terribly, and will be continuing this through the end of the year, at the very least. This month's theme is “independence,” so if you want to celebrate the signs of independence, the freedom of choice and the consequences thereof, or even the traditional American picnic and fireworks in fiction, this is the month! What about those tiny little moments that matter most to only one person? They're the test, and the lesson, the opportunity and the sweetness that we point to as signs of independents.

For those still debating whether to help alexseanchai, they are still offering fiction at $0.04 per word, four cents to the word, and for anyone who donates to them, PM me to tell me the amount and give me a prompt, and I will pennysmith ($0.01/word) a story to say thank you. This will be ongoing through the 31st of July, so contributors to a worthy cause have ample time to join in, and they will get a bonus story!

The July Sketch Fest runs the 21-23rd! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/

There is also a Facebook event for it: https://www.facebook.com/events/144259459467548

In June, I finished the #junicorn challenge - to draw 30 pieces of unicorn artwork in 30 days. I did 29 art cards and one big coloring page. The landing page for my project is here: http://ellenmillion.dreamwidth.org/1604777.html (Originals, prints, magnets, bookmarks, and coloring pages available!)

Wow!

That's a lot of work. I love the bluejay unicorn!

I'll be running an incentive on my Patreon. For every $1 pledged, I will post an unknown fact about one character, and for every $2-$10 pledged, I will post a line from the novel. More than $10 pledged, it will be something BIG.

Patreon: Patreon.com/srmaclin

Wow!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That's a fascinating new perk.

Hoping it gets a few people interested! (We have some big expenses coming up very soon, and I'm the only one currently working, so... Hopefully some will take advantage.)
