Now, some people will doubtless ask why they should pay for this when they can (and possibly have) read it for free on my blog. They may not ask me directly, 'cause we're normally more civil than that around here, but I'm going to answer anyway. There are four really good reasons.
1. This is a professionally formatted file, with all thirty days in the same place. No clicking, scrolling, or getting lost in my occasionally quixotic tag system. Basically, it's three dollars for total convenience.
2. I said a few times while writing the original series of posts that errors would creep in because writing live left me no time to go back and revise. Well, the luxury of Countdown becoming something I was paid for allowed me to go back, edit, adjust, and correct a lot of things, some little, some big. It also got a pass through the Machete Squad, making it a much higher-quality work.
3. The novella I want to do next year for Blackout is much larger and more ambitious, and it's really going to need those editorial revisions to be as good as I want it to be. The sales of Countdown will encourage Orbit to buy The Rising 2014: The Last Stand and Final Fall of the California Browncoats.
4. My cats like to eat. My cats like to eat a lot. My cats will, eventually, if unfed, eat me. If the cats eat me, I stop writing. If I stop writing, everyone will be sad. Except for me, as I will have been eaten. Buying Countdown helps me shove gooshy food into the fluffy monsters, and allows me to remain uneaten.
Countdown!

I've officially moved to a 2 cat situation! Yep, I adopted a brother for Katniss. So, Sasunnach was lovingly welcomed into our home. He's great. Really. He's just a BIT OCD. Like "burying" for 5 minutes after he or Katniss go in the box.
I've been using "Yesterday's News," trying to be responsible and green, but I've heard from some folks that, because it's not "clumping," that it may be encouraging Sasunnach to excessive measures. I want to be environmentally friendly, but I also want to stress the kids out as little as possible. What do you guys use? Any clear favorites?
