It’s been crazy since the campaign ended. I wanted to take a breather, but that just hasn’t been an option. I’ve been hit with deadlines and numerous revisions.

On a personal note, my family gathered to celebrate my father and his identical twin’s 95th birthday. Seeing them both dig into their Prime Rib filled me with a warm glow. Our corner of the restaurant kept the noise down to a mild roar. 

Each day I thought I finished to Anime Bingo cards only to realize a universal spelling error. There are other challenges to these cards. Of course, the tropes were randomized, with no repeats on each card. However, you also need to ensure that the two categories align, resulting in an even distribution of difficulty levels. Some of the tropes will be easy to spot as they occur frequently, like Katanas. Other tropes are pretty specific, such as Bad Guy Squat. So, care must be taken in the distribution of those, too. Finally, after numerous reviews, the cards were ready to be sent to the printer. I wanted to use the same printer as the Horror Movie Bingo cards, as those have a fantastic satin finish. I also wanted the two products to match each other in quality. To lower the price point, I increased the order to cover not only the campaign's fulfillment but also sales on the convention circuit and in stores. I triple checked the cards before finally sending them off to the printer this morning. WooHoo!

I still need to get my survey reviewed by BackerKit and send it out. However, I thought it was more important to finalize the cards and send them to the printer. 

It’s a big step. I’m so glad you were able to help me make it.
