As the title of this newspost suggests, I have a touchy topic in mind, that could very well turn people away.
What is it you ask?
Donations.
Yep, I'm touching on the topic of donations. Now before everyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not asking for anything, all I'm doing is providing the option.
In reality, there are 2 reasons I have opened up a donation box:
1: As a means for people to essentially "pre-order" the album I'm working on.
2: To help motivate me.
Number 1 is pretty straight forward and obvious, you donate, you get a copy of my album (Which was planned to be a pay what you think it's worth album anyways, so it all works out).
Number 2 is a bit trickier... Long story short, as implied by my last newspost, I have a hard time believing anyone enjoys my stuff... Why? I don't know, and I won't get into it.
But if people are donating, I have more of a reason to write, and write more often, which in the end should mean more quality stuff, sooner, instead of how I'll go into 2 month hiatus's from creating anything because I just don't feel there's any point.
Anyways, enough explaining... everything considered, I figured if nothing else, it was worth a shot at least once, if it flops, then whatever, I'll let it die until the album is released and open 'er back up again for purchases (If I don't decide to go through another source instead of doing things completely independent).
So, the moment of truth, the donation link, do with it what you will:
Donation Box
Points for no "Gimme money cause my life is hard" sob story?
PS:
If you do for whatever reason decide to donate, please let me know, so that I can add you to the list of people to receive a copy of my album whenever I finally finish it. And please note, only donations above $1 will get you a copy of the album... Admit it, you'd feel pretty insulted too if you someone paid $0.01 for your efforts.

The symbolic $ is enough og a payment?

The only problem I have now is that I don't own a PayPal account. I blame YOU AND ONLY YOU for signing me on for their services... now where the hell did I put my MasterCard???

Unfortunately, symbolic $ isn't an acceptable currency for musical hardware/software, believe me, I wish it was.
And I feel bad for even putting the option out there, so you don't need to feel obligated to make a paypal account on my behalf... Although at the same time, I'm flattered that you're entertaining the thought at all.
