January is just bollocks isn't it?
On New Years Eve we're all full of optimism for the year ahead and make all kinds of nonsensical promises to ourselves, only to realise that January is just bollocks. The dregs of Christmas hang in the air like a bad smell, and worst of all everyone is skint. It seems so nice to be paid early ready for Christmas until you realise that the distance between receiving your December salary and your January salary feels like a million years. With this in mind I think it's time we treated January as a buffer between Christmas and the proper new year, which technically starts in February when we are all back in funds.
So, happy new year proper. This is the one I want to look back on as the year that things finally turned around and started happening. Last year was a bit slow with regards to creating entertainment for you so we now need to pull together and make things right. If you haven't donated before, then please consider it now.
There are things in the pipeline that I need funding for, not a huge amount but just enough to get things moving. We all know how crowd-funding works by now, everything I create will be made available online completely free of charge for everybody to enjoy. In addition to this I will (new offer for the new year) pull two people at random from those who donate and send some gifts relating to the things I make, a finished film on DVD or an audio CD, that sort of thing.
For this year I am bringing back the audio podcast of The Random Sessions, which will probably be fortnightly although I would like to do it weekly. I also have another series of podcasts that I am discussing, The Random Sessions starts back up this month with a slight change of format, new audio books are on the way for Christmas, all of which won't cost a fortune. However I have documentaries, films, sketches and other things that need funding.
Please share this newsletter around and if you have never made a donation before then why don't we make 2019 count? If you have never donated before, then now is your chance to make things right. Perhaps a monthly amount on payday if you can manage? However you decide to do it, please remember that you will be becoming a part of something wonderful.
If you would like to be a big backer of a project then please email me and we can sort something out.
