This was a bit surprising. I had an idea that it would get fully funded sometime today, but things accelerated during the evening.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:right;margin:8px;margin-right:8px;margin-top:0px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"380px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/101187357\/the-lair-of-the-clockwork-book-limited-edition-har\/widget\/card.html\" width=\"220px\"><\/iframe><\/div><p align=\"left\">It&#8217;s still not over, though! I&#8217;ve got another 31 hours to attract some more of the Internet&#8217;s fleeting interest and find good homes for a few more of these handsome books.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">As I was gathering my thoughts for that update I found some interesting comparisons between this, which is effectively a book pre-order, and my last Kickstarter project, which looked far more normal but had its own dark secret. This might be interesting to nobody but me. Still, once the dust has settled I may write those thoughts down for the blog.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Anyway I continue to drive traffic to <a href=\"http:\/\/thrilling-tales.webomator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual<\/em><\/a> and to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/101187357\/the-lair-of-the-clockwork-book-limited-edition-har\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kickstarter page<\/a> in these final hours, while I&#8217;m still occupied with the final illustrations for the book. I discovered a couple of days ago that I&#8217;d never assigned a number to one of these last chunks of story, and that means I need one more picture than I&#8217;d realized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">\n[tags]thrilling tales of the downright unusual, the lair of the clockwork book, kickstarter, fund raising drive, limited edition[\/tags]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was another eventful day for The Lair of the Clockwork Book&#8216;s Kickstarter fund drive.
