The New Year is just around
the corner and I’m trying to forget that we first have to endure Christmas
before we get to it. I am bursting to get moving on various projects in 2015
but I need help.
Everything I make will be made
available online totally free of charge, so I am asking you to please consider
this when you see the PayPal button above my blogs. I make The Sunday
Alternative podcast every week and write 365 blogs a year for no obvious
financial reward. I rely on the donations to enable me to carry on putting out
free content, and will use what goes into the pot to make entertaining things
for you.
In addition to the donation
option, I also have a range of audio books for download on a ‘pay what you like’
basis and books available for the Kindle. All the money I make from these sales
will go into the same fund.
One of my audio books, A Christmas Tree by Charles Dickens, is too big for Bandcamp
to host so I will email it to anyone who donates one pound or more and then
emails me with ‘I paid a pound or more’ in the subject line, my email address
is steveEoliver@gmail.com
A Sunday
Alternative bag will be on sale in the New Year, sadly I couldn’t
get them ready in time for Christmas but I’m sure they’ll go down well as
Valentine gifts.
The first two projects for
2015 will be a pilot for a cookery and music series that will be uploaded to a
YouTube channel on a weekly basis (if a series is made). The video will be used
as the video for the crowd funding campaign on Indie GoGo. I will also be
making a special video for Record Store Day that will be released on the day.
Both of these projects need money to make them.
Even though it didn’t work out
last year, I still haven’t given up hope of making a documentary about The Sunday Alternative. Ideally I’d like to have it ready in
time for release in 2016 as the fifth anniversary of the show will fall on a Sunday.
