So! In the last day, I did a little reading for Take This Book backers over Livestream, did one more edit on the manuscript, sang Happy Birthday to Patti Smith (who of course shouted out to Occupy from the stage at the Bowery Ballroom and told us we were the future, as you would expect Patti Smith to do), and now I’m looking at the final 36 hours of Take This Book.
If you can be the person who takes us over $7500 today? I’ll hop on Skype tonight and chat with you in thanks.
Because you probably can’t be in New York (even though it’s gorgeous out today, and would be a good night to swing through Zuccotti). But I’m here and can tell some stories from here.
What’s wonderful/awful about this moment is that all of the writing and editing is done. The ebook is done. The quotes from the printers? Done. The huge USPS estimate for media mail? Done. The last bit left is actually sharing the stories in the book in a form that you can hold, and give away, for someone else to discover in a park somewhere, too.
