All dragons have a tale, but some don't have a tail, but there's always a tale about why they are missing a tail.

Milestone Goals
Full time author
With $500 a month I can pay the family bills, and keep enough food in the fridge to stay alive. I can effectively be a full-time author with your support without ever needing to take time to look for a side-job again. Technically, this means I'm effectively at your complete mercy from here on out.
New Equipment
I'll be using the extra income to purchase quality virtual instruments for music, or to pay for proofreading/editing services, or even save it for a Library of Congress listing for my upcoming books!
Charitable Giving
Whoa what in the world? If I'm getting $1000 a month, I probably don't need it all. So that means I'll be putting it to good use. I'll do my homework though, and take your requests for where to put the extra donations. After all, it is what I'm being given, if I don't need it, I should find someone who does.
About
I'm an author, with a bit of graphic design experience which I still fiddle with from time to time. Speaking of fiddling, I don't. But I do play with music studio software on my pc, creating digital music from time to time. I long to learn to play something like a real instrument, and purchase good quality virtual instruments to use when I'm making new music. But most of all, I want to write. There's a whole galaxy with a billion years worth of stories waiting to be written, and I can only write as many as I have time to while I live.

I love to write, and I have one finished, self-published book, Dragovant Relics (Anthology Volume 1). With monthly support, I plan to write three more volumes, DR: Tidal Forces, DR: Beyond Torvenlan, and DR: Deep Blue. Supporters will get to read excerpts from DR: Deep Blue every week as I write it, in addition to getting a "Free" copy of the first Dragovant Relics Vol.1 mailed out to them or e-mailed to their inbox as a .pdf or a digital Kindle copy gifted to them through Amazon.com, whichever way they want it. I'd like to add music to the weekly freebies, but I might only work on it monthly. I will definitely invite any gamers who support me to weekly or monthly games although I plan to focus most of my free time into story-writing, music-crafting, and legos. I will do all my own artwork for the book covers, and album covers, sharing it with my supporters before I finalize it, and its possible that much of the finished albums, and artwork, will be a combination of ideas from supporters, and my own ideas and skills in creating. I'd like to launch a Minecraft Realms server for supporters as well, where I'll be crafting a Dragovant-inspired server with unique shelters, villages, etcetra, or perhaps, I will only be supervising the crafting, between stories. With legos I plan to build models of ships and space stations and things from my stories, to share with my supporters, and possibly even mail sets to supporters who show an interest. Eventually, after I finish collecting and learning from the Lego Master Builder Academy sets, I plan to build sets to put into Lego Ideas. Which I hope will become sets for sale on Lego.com and in stores everywhere, but even if they don't get sold out there, I will probably offer sets to supporters for free, provided I have the support and can afford the pieces. In the end, I hope to share a lot with everyone who supports me, and I hope you love the stories I write, the images I create, the music I compose, and the lego sets I build enough to keep coming back month after month. Finally, I want to thank everyone now, and repeatedly later, for your support. :D
Did I mention I hate being on camera? Taking a quick picture is one thing... talking and stuff in a video? No thank you. I made a video just because this means that much to me! :D
