kickstarter – Vague Direction

[dropcap]If[/dropcap] you followed the Vague Direction bicycle journey as it was happening, you may’ve seen the Evernote logo on the Vague Direction website. They were friends and partners throughout the trip, and I don’t think I could function properly without their productivity tools, which have become an external brain and a place to document everything – from the everyday to the more bizarre. As David Allen of GTD says, “your brain is for having ideas, not for holding them.” And it’s true!

Recently I spoke with them about the workflow used whilst writing the book, as well as the value of grit, creative labours of love, writing terrible rap songs, and more. It’s over on their blog. Hope you enjoy it!

The Vague Direction Book (Pre-order now on Kickstarter)

Hey everyone,

Big ol’ news today. The Vague Direction Book, about the bicycle journey and the stories that happened along the way, is written. And I’d love your help to publish it.

So today, for a limited time, I’m launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to help get over the final hurdle, which is to get: cover design, interior formatting, and the first print-run of the paperback.

~~Here’s the link, which has literally just gone live!~~ (Ah, sorry! The campaign is now over, but we were successful!)

On the Kickstarter campaign, you’ll find a few packages – ranging from pre-ordering a single book, to pre-ordering some for you and your friends, to video hangouts, framed photographs and more.

Thank you, I can’t wait for you to read the book! It’s demanded more than ever imagined, it’s taken absolutely ages, and the writing process has been one heck of a journey in itself, but hopefully it’s a better read for it! Really hope you’ll enjoy it.

~~Head over to Kickstarter to find out a lot more about it, and to pledge to make it happen.~~

P.S. If you regularly get anything from this blog and would like to get involved in another way, spreading the word about the Kickstarter campaign to your social networks (here’s the Vague Direction Facebook page) etc would be amazing and would really help :)
