Oh, it's on.

Thank you. Thank you so much. My Kickstarter project has met its minimum, and is on its way to being declared a success on December 26! I am so grateful for the people who have stepped up to help make this dream come true.

There are still 26 days to go, and I got to thinking: what can I do for the backers of my project as the thing continues to grow? Well, I've been spending some time in the studio recently (by myself and with a couple friends), and here's my idea:

If the project reaches $3,000, then EVERYBODY who backs it will get a copy of a new album of previously unreleased original material. That's right, I'm putting together an album exclusively for my Kickstarter backers. The only way you can get it is to be a part of the project. If you pledge $25 or more, you get a physical copy on CD. Less than $25 gets you a mp3 download of the full album.

I'll put up a full post about this upcoming album soon, but for now, I'll just say that it is a wholly lipogrammatic work. That is to say, its lyrics do not contain a particular character. In fact, this character is not found in this paragraph. (I was writing a lipogramattic book, but I found it too long a form; song lyrics suit my writing inclinations, though.) As I said, full information about this bonus album is forthcoming.

Thank you once again. I could not possibly be more excited. :)
