Hi, I’m Paul Spooner, a creative disagreeable hard-working introvert,
And I want you to pledge your support on Patreon! Patreon is an easy way to pledge monthly support to creative people. So I’m basically asking you to pledge to donate money. To, me. Every month.
Now, I can hear you asking (Barney) “Why do you need money?”
Well, I’ve got a wife, six kids, and a mortgage.
(Teddy) “But you already have a good job. Why are you asking for donations?”
Because I’m super creative, and I’ve done a bunch of stuff besides programming the big trees in Minecraft, and I have so many ideas for projects, designs, videos, stories, and games that I’m dying to explore and this day-job is killing my sooooooul!
(Linda) “So, why don’t you just get a job at Pixar or Blizzard?”
I’m pretty disagreeable. So I don’t work well in a team.
(Leah) “Okay, you want to work on your own projects, but won’t you just daydream all day?”
Fair. I’m also hard-working and organized, which you can tell from my engineering degree and decade of soul-killing day job experience.
(Linda) “Fine, whatever. If you’re such a cool guy, why don’t you just ask all the friends you must have?”
That would be great if I were an extrovert, but I’m introverted, and don’t really have many friends.
(Teddy) “So, what’s your vision here?”
Care for my family. Humans and machines in symbiosis. A Catholic vision of the New Jerusalem.
(Charlette) “Ooohkaaaaay... how can I help?”
You can pledge to support me on Patreon. Whatever you pledge will be automatically charged every month. You can cancel whenever you want with no penalty. It all helps, and I’d love to hear from you. That’s basically it!
(Whole family saying) “Thank you!”
