(Nimue)
I've got a project on the go, and at the time of writing this blog post I am not confident that it's going to work. I wrote last week about Hopeless Sinners so you might have read that already and know what's going on. If you are able to share that post anywhere on the internet I would be profoundly grateful.
These days a lot of social media sites are set up to actively suppress links – especially kickstarter links. It has become incredibly difficult getting projects in front of people. I've been asking friends for help, because it's the only way. Please know that if you like, share, or comment on anyone's post about a crowdfunding project, a new book or anything like that you are helping them with visibility and keeping them going. It's a massively kind and useful thing to do. On sites that use algorithms to decide who sees what, interactions are what makes all the difference.
The vast majority of creative people are struggling. We can't get our work seen, and we don't reliably get paid fairly for it when people do see it. What that means is that you, as an individual, are much more powerful and important than you may have realised. Anything that you do to support the creative people you care about is making a real difference to them.
Right now I could really do with some help. If you are able to share the kickstarter link somewhere, or leave me a like or comment on the Hopeless, Maine Facebook page, or anything else of that ilk, I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you. I'm also sharing this on Twitter, Bluesky, Mastadon, Instagram and Substack - if you are on any of those sites, I'm always delighted to connect with people.
