World Mental Health Day & Halfway There!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Oct 08, 2021 at 05:20:45 AM

Hello! 

I hope you've had a great week! We're off to an amazing start still, and have raised over 50% of the funds needed to get this project over the finish line! That's incredible! Thank you :) There's still plenty of time left to finish this campaign with a bang, so please keep sharing among your friends, family and social groups to help get the word out.

World Mental Health Day, October 10.

If you didn't know, this Sunday the 10th of October is World Mental Health Day. Even though mental health is something that should be checked in on every day of the year, let's spare some time to connect with others who may be going through a difficult time...even yourself. Remember it's ok to not be ok and to reach out to someone to talk about things. Heck, scream into your pillow if that's what makes you feel good. Being present with your feelings is the first step to working through them and sometimes we can't do that alone. 

Skullboy thought he could run from the Dark Spot to prove how strong he was, but it just followed him on his journey. It wasn't until he stood and faced his fears was he able to overcome them. Sounds easy, right? It's not. If you do need someone to speak with, Checkpoint is an amazing resource of organisations you can contact in your country. 

If you are in a tight spot, I also invite you to do something you like doing just for yourself. Something that makes you feel good. Even for a moment. Is there somewhere you like to go? A movie you like to watch? Music you like to listen to? I'm going to my favourite fish and chip shop that I haven't been to in years! 

You also might have noticed that I've changed the thumbnail for this campaign to help bring more awareness to the day. 

Thanks again for being here with me on this journey and helping me bring Skullboy and his message to life.

Take care, stay safe and stay Skullbrained!

An incredible first 24 hours!

Hello,

Wow! What an incredible first 24 hours. Thank you so much to everyone who jumped on board early and got this campaign off to a good start. It's awesome to see so much love coming Skullboy's way!

The campaign has already reached 38% of its goal in the first 24 hours. That really is amazing! The best thing about this is, this morning I received an email from Kickstarter telling me that Skullboy has been selected as a "Project We Love" meaning it gets a little badge on it and featured on the 'Projects We Love' page and across the site. 

Again, this couldn't have been done without every single one of you pledging. The first couple of days are critical in getting a project featured on Kickstarter. The more pledges received means the more Kickstarter pays attention to what's going on! Oh, those algorithms...

24 hours is done, now we have another 648 to go! We are in a really good place to make that happen. Please keep sharing this campaign with your social networks, friends, and family and we'll be well on our way to a successful campaign!

Cheers, everyone. See you in the next update :)

Stay Skullbrained,

Scott 🖤💀🧠📚
