Today's Issues, Tomorrow's Conquests

An ideology about overcoming obstacles

Destroy them. Obstacles get in your way and slow you down. Power through them! Knock them down, blow them up, tackle them, don't let them drag you around.

I found out today that I might not be able to take any excess funding and put it toward the local nonprofits I have been doing so much research on. I mean once it's my money I can do whatever i want with it, I guess, but KickStarter is against it so I've sent them an e-mail explaining my situation and exactly what i want to do. I'm waiting for their response.

I have officially begun drafting up my campaign, I decided enough was enough and I should stop beating around the bush and Tackle it. I've also done a lot of networking today and have drafted up some e-mails to be sent out as soon as I launch my campaign.

well when I write it all down it seems like I really didn't do much today, but trust me. I did.

Ps. does this sound interesting/enticing and important and stuff? "A hopeful yet realistic glimpse into the future for many newly impoverished areas of the United States."

That's the short blurb I drafted up for kickstarter. Any suggestions? I only have a 135 character limit.

Hi Kevin,
I came across your profile/introduction on d-word.com, and instead of responding to your profile I figured I'd just visit your blog. I'm also working on my first doc and your journey is inspiring to me. Keep up the good work.
I think your blurb would sound better being:
"A realistic yet hopeful glimpse into the future of many newly-impoverished areas of the United States." or
"A realistic and hopeful glimpse into the future of many newly-impoverished areas of the United Statees."

Thanks Charles! Good luck on your documentary as well. i encourage you to subscribe to my blog.
Although the content is unpolished and unprofessional, perhaps you could learn from my mistakes (which is my intent)
How does this sound to you: "A hopeful yet realistic glimpse into the future for many areas in the United States that have been affected by the recent recession"

What's up Kevin? There're sure to be some stumbles along the way. But for now, polish-shmolish. Put it out there, get some helpful feedback, and do it a bit better next time. All the best on your journey.
How about this?
"A hopeful yet realistic glimpse into the uncertain future faced by areas of the U.S. that have been affected by the recent economic downturn."

Sincerely,
Charles
