Dreamhearth Launch Plan
Added 2017-06-19 14:00:02 +0000 UTC...because you all have been asking for this book since Mindline was released, I figure it should be a big deal! (Plus, this is the book with the Kickstarter cameos in it!). So I am trying to figure out how I want to handle the launch of Dreamhearth. My vague plan so far:
- Finish draft (target is about two weeks now)
- Hand over to first readers (who's on board this time?)
- Upload third edition e-books of Mindtouch and Mindline with expanded backmatter, including sketches, typo corrections, playlist, etc. (Last chance to tell me about typos!)
- Promo for Mindtouch (that's scheduled for the second week of July)
- Release teaser image for Dreamhearth (you've seen the draft of that so far!)
- Hand over materials to the graphic designer for print edition
- Do e-book formatting
- Release end of July
I'd like some extra party-like functions in here somewhere, but I'm coming up blank so far. What kind of exciting things should we do? A quiz? A big public chat? A "photograph your kerinne and post it" hashtag? A fan art contest? I don't know! What do you think? :D

2017-06-20 12:37:38 +0000 UTCI would be a first reader, (and it is very, very tempting), but I will be traveling and won't be of any use in two weeks. (Oh how tempting it is to say "yes.") Thank you for the update and letting us know that there is an light at the end of the tunnel!

2017-06-20 05:23:52 +0000 UTCThank you for the answer. I was wondering about that too.

2017-06-20 05:21:47 +0000 UTCI'll be a first reader!
2017-06-20 04:38:11 +0000 UTCThanks for being so generous. I will need to know when to do this, when the updated version is available. And since that is cause for celebration and re-re-reading it should be part of the launch announcement.

2017-06-20 04:06:19 +0000 UTCNo need to pay extra! You will have to contact Amazon customer service to get them to push the update, though.

2017-06-19 22:54:12 +0000 UTCUp load the prior two with new stuff? Wow. Do I pay or is it automatic update?

2017-06-19 16:38:46 +0000 UTC*earperks* First readers? I'm in! :D I like the idea of a fanart contest! :D :D :D
2017-06-19 14:50:49 +0000 UTCI would volunteer to beta read because I really want to get my hands on this, but I know I am *terrible* about reading things if it's something I'm "supposed" to do. (My mind is a weird place.) But I will happily buy it and promote it and tell everyone about it!
