Update on the Zoe Charm

Okay this will hopefully be the last time I talk bout the Zoe charm… but I have a final update even though the Kickstarter campaign was a bust.

As you probably know, I had made about 9 of these charms myself using an oven and borrowed work time for the sake of Chapter 2. These charms, which are for Chapter 1, are the starter editions and it just didn’t feel right to carry on to Chapter 2 knowing I was going to plan a charm per chapter without having chapter 1’s made at least a little bit. And I realized how neat they would be with something special. Since 10 Confessions is a romance, I decided that each charm should have their own little heart charm. Zoe’s got the last of my glass-possibly-Austria-crystal heart charms. I had *exactly* enough to cute them up with. See?

I kept one for myself (of course) and have already sent one to her new home. The rest are in a happy box waiting for people to love them. You can find them here if you like: http://apocalypsewriters.com/ooakleaf/2012/09/12/zoe-charm/

The bookmarks I made for chapter 1 are here… I won’t be making any more of those. I’m serious when I say something is limited edition. If you want a 10 Confessions chapter 1 bookmark, you’re welcome to contact me privately and make an offer. And thus Chapter 1 has some things made in preparation for the birth of Chapter 2.

As for the “ash-cans”, it’s beyond my scope right now to have any made so I’m not going to. I guess each chapter just won’t have ash-cans – although I do still intend to do the “graphic novels” every so many chapters. I’ll have to get creative on what to give next chapter.

If you’re curious about 10 Confessions, it can be found just about everywhere Smashwords distributes to as well as Amazon.com. Or you can simply go here: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/23596

Chibi Charm design finished.

Wondering how the Zoe chibi charm ended up?

I baked the protypes out of shrinkydinks and thus realized, “Hey, those colors won’t work.” So now she’s wearing something brighter. Her skirt color is going to change again, though.

It’s up to the campaigns now to raise the funds to get them done.

For every person who gets a friend to pledge $1 or more on either the Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, I will give them a free eBook copy of Chapter 1. That’s two for the price of one!

I will also give anyone who pledges $50 or more an original sketch of Zoe or her best friend, Alexis.
