Highlights

• Why am I making slower progress than I’d like on my book?
• I optimize my Asciidoctor write and preview workflow.
• I’m working on a side project to track Hacker News performance in real-time.

Goal grades

At the start of each month, I declare what I’d like to accomplish. Here’s how I did against those goals:

Write a blog post about lessons from Kickstarter

• Result: Published My $6k Advance as a Self-Published Technical Author
• Grade: A

I originally set out to write a guide that focused on Kickstarter, but the more I wrote, the less I felt like Kickstarter was the interesting part. I was more excited about crowdfunding as a path for self-published authors, and Kickstarter is just one way of crowdfunding.
