Thanks to you, my backers, The WoW Diary's second printing will see the light of day. A year after the first edition, I became a full-time writer and learned a few subtleties about the English language that will go into this new product. I learned that passive voice stinks and removed it from The WoW Diary's narrative. It makes for smoother read and an altogether more polished product. I also fixed a few typos and Nolan found a proofreader with a PhD in copyediting who is giving the final product a once-over while I write this.

Nothing about The WoW Diary is different, but I'm proud of sharing what I learned about working in the entertainment industry in The Post-Mortem. I include some personal philosophy and observations about Blizzard's direction after WoW shipped, some advice for people looking for a first job in the industry, and more. I also polished and included the first four essays in the supplemental booklet from the first Kickstarter campaign. 

So, We're Funded. What happens Next?

Everyone relaxes. We're going to coast for a few weeks until the campaign ends. That's when Nolan and I get busy. 

Nolan's company Source Point Media hails from Michigan, within driving distance to Ohio, where I'm located. I'll be able to visit his warehouse and sign copies there instead of the printers. So that's kinda cool, and we'll take pictures and keep you updated as it goes along. March is our printing date, so expect an update. 

Nolan is way more experienced in distribution. In some cases, his shipping prices were a third of what I charged over fours ago, and I still lost a bundle in shipping expenses. In fact, this second printing wouldn't have happened without him, so we all owe him a round of thanks. He has been doing the legwork for the publicity, so if you guys could get the word out on social media and give us a plug, he would appreciate it. ;-)

Congratulations to everyone—and thanks, Nolan!
