Chopping Block conclusions!

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

After 6 weeks or so of this retrospective, I've finally gotten to the end of the project list and done some summarization! The master overview of all of the chopping block entries has been posted here: http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1143338.html

Many of these projects are in part or whole crowdfunded, and all of them involve helping people make (or attempt to make!) money with art and writing in the age of the Internet. It's an interesting look back at the development of some of the sites, and a frank look at some of the speedbumps I ran into as well as some of the successes I stumbled over, and a look ahead at what's coming in 2011.

Happy holidays to all you creators and supporters! Maybe 2011 be filled with energy and inspiration!
