No, I didn’t forget about you all on Friday – I opted to wait a couple days until the Kickstarter finished up this morning before posting again. This has been a big week in my writerly world. I got to hold a physical copy of my own book for the first time! AND my KickstarterContinue reading “Kickstarter Results”

Childhood Dream Fulfilled
Ever since I signed the contract for my first book (well, ever since childhood – it just started to feel like a real possibility with the contract), I’ve been so excited to hold my book in my hands. My book. In book format. Like a real book. I thought that would have been Alice’s story,Continue reading “Childhood Dream Fulfilled”

A Big Week for WWIB
This has been a big week for the world of Wherever Would I Be. (And me.) This week, I learned ALL about typesetting, and it turns out, I actually enjoyed it. Mostly.

Kickstarter: Day One

Kickin’ Off Kickstarter
Today is the day! My Kickstarter is live. Part of the process of creating the campaign is the “story” and rewards – I thought I’d share them here: WHEREVER WOULD I BE Hi. I’m Ami Maxine, a writer of quiet stories. I love to explore the way in which people form and maintain all kindsContinue reading “Kickin’ Off Kickstarter”

Taking a Chance – Kickstarter
When I made the decision to pursue using Pascal Campion’s image for my book cover, a friend floated the idea of doing a Kickstarter to help raise some of the funds for the licensing fee. I wasn’t sure how that would work (and I also didn’t know just how many folks go this route –Continue reading “Taking a Chance – Kickstarter”
