As promised, I'm checking in with an update on packing and shipping status. I have almost all of the individual hardcovers packed and sent, which most of you! I have the next two days off from my day job, and will be riding this momentum, packing and shipping the rest of the hardcovers, the recipe cards and just-the-drinks editions, and hopefully starting on book boxes too!
Hey, y'all! I'm feeling really good mentally right now, and I'm taking advantage of that. I'm determined to power through and get the rest of the individual books out by the end of the week, and book boxes by the end of next week.
I will post another update this Saturday to let you know where I'm at with it.
I am bound and determined, come hell, high water, or hourly anxiety attacks, you WILL have this book in your hands in time for spooky season!
Hey, everyone, I got a message from a friend yesterday, asking for an update and saying it had been a while, which was confusing for me, so I logged on this morning when I got back to my computer, and saw a bunch of my updates sitting there as Drafts.....
I'm gonna stick around and triple check this one to make sure it definitely posts; I'm sure that I did something wrong there. Brain fog is real.
Anyway, here's a quick summary of the updates you missed because I am terrible at things:
1. I have books! Look how pretty!
2. Everyone now has the ebook in their BookFunnel library! To get your books, just log in to the BookFunnel app or my.bookfunnel.com using your BackerKit email. If you log in and your BookFunnel library is empty, try logging into BookFunnel using another email address to get your books.
3. I charged your cards because I thought I was feeling up for a big task like fulfillment, but then executive dysfunction reared its ugly head, so I'm doing this a little at a time, and I really appreciate your patience. You can read more about my current struggles here. The gist of it is that I'm fighting off the overwhelm by breaking this into small chunks, and while this is slower than if my brain worked, it's faster than if I waited until I could do it all at once.
Needless to say, this will be my last crowdfunding campaign ever, because clearly, even though I used to be able to do it, I cannot count on my brain to do things in a timely manner, and I will not ask you, my readers, to count on my brain going forward either.
Hiya, backers! Orders are now officially locked for The Bloody Unicorn, which means I'm about to start fulfillment! And this also means that your cards are about to get charged for any add-ons you ordered and for shipping costs.
Most of you have completed your surveys --- thank you!
If you're one of the twelve people who haven't, please do so. I can't do any ordering until I know how many Things of each Thing to order! We're just waiting on you.
The surveys for The Bloody Unicorn are just about ready to go. The first step in that is to send out what BackerKit calls a "smoke test," in which they send a small portion of the surveys to a random sprinkling of backers to test it out and make sure there are no glitches that got missed in review.
This has been sent out, so if you got it and have already filled it out, thank you! About half of them are still at large, so please be sure to check your inbox and your spam folder and see if you got one. The ones that have been filled out all seem good, so I should be able to send out the rest of the surveys in just a couple of days!
Friendly reminder to those of you who are getting the "Recipe Card" edition: You are eligible to upgrade that to a recipes-only book at no extra charge. So, when you see the question about upgrading, I just want to make sure everyone knows, that's not an upcharge! And the book will have the photos of the drinks too, just like the cards; just not the stories or the illustrations. Perfect for anyone who just wants the cocktails, but isn't interested in the anthology aspect of the book.
Same goes for anyone who wants to add it on; because you backed the project initially, you can get that recipes-only book for the same cost as if you had just ordered the recipe cards.
