I'm so done with crowdfunding.
I did a crowdfunding campaign a few years ago, it's a book. Writing it took way too long, but it's been completed for a year and a half now. The rest of the delay is people I work with doing it much slower than expected, if at all. And it's all because of things I understand but have no way of explaining to others: sickness, accidents, bad luck, family matters, being overwhelmed with other work etc.

But most of it is things I could never control or predict. The only thing I could really have done was not to crowdfund this book in the first place.
A lot of people are understanding, and a lot of others just don't care much (which is fine). And then there's always some people who will give you hell for not meeting expectations, and I don't have enough thick skin for that.
