Hello, Patreon Brains and Hearts!

We’re working on a pre-order incentive (don’t worry — if you’ve already preordered, you’ll still be able to get it!) and one of the things we wanted to include is an excerpt from the book, INCLUDING the audiobook version to go along with it!

We decided on the chapter on Motivation, since that’s something SO many of us struggle with — but there are a few options as to which section to include. And we’d love for you to help choose...

We're good at this~

A Book Ending Preview... and your feedback! :D

Hello Patreon Brains! WE DID IT! WE FINISHED A BOOK!!!!

As a thank you, we wanted to share a preview of the (first half of the) ending, since we, of course, have a “WAIT ONE MORE THING!”

I’ve taken some poetic license so don’t worry about copyediting it, but if anyone has feedback I would love to hear it. On the document itself or just, in comments on Patreon, both are fine! 

I basically want any general feedback, impressions, etc. as well as let me know if any...

Quotes | Good News!

If you received a message about a quote of yours we're hoping to use, we actually have more time than we thought! So if you saw "May 5th" or "This Friday" please know that is no longer relevant! 

That said, please do try to get in to us as soon as you can. We'll have a more solid deadline in a few weeks. :) We'll try to keep you all updated! 

Thank you all so much for your patience! 

If you received a message about quotes with a deadline of May 5th...

Yeahhh...

I was using a template and forgot to double check the whole template.

If y'all are able to get back to us by this Friday (May 12th) that'd be wonderful.

Sorry for any heart attacks I may have accidentally caused.
