Should I Stay of Should I Go Back

I few months ago, I had the chance to fund a Kickstarter campaign for a book I would have liked to purchase.  One of the perks of funding the project was the I would get a free preview of the book in a PDF form.  Using that PDF, funders could help review the book and check if over for errors.  I had a few misgivings, having never done one of these campaigns before, but I decided to try and go for it on the very last day.  Practically in the last few minutes.  Unfortunately, I waited too long.  There wasn't going to be enough time for me to sign up to Kickstarter and go through the entire registration process before the campaign ended.  I still have some regrets about not funding that project.  However, there is a new campaign that just started on another book.  I am very much more interested in this one than I was the last one.  The project has already been fully funded!  In less than a few hours!  Some of the stretch goals are very intriguing, featuring a very good deal on the PDFs of some books I missed out on over the years.  I just have to add a little bit more to my pledge.  I still have some misgivings, though.  The last campaign had to be scrapped after a week due to the outbreak.  The company just felt it wasn't the right time to have it funded, yet.  The are going to go back later in the year, provided they have an available time to do so.  I also haven't registered to Kickstarter.  I have no idea how long it will take to start an account, or even if I am able to.  Still, this feels like the right time to start.  I have to figure this out, but I think I will have time enough to go through with in.  This time around.
