Sports Weekend
Actually A Long Weekend.. Started off Thursday evening with an Aces’s game against the #1 Lynx. Aces are #2 and we’re on a 12 game winning streak. Kris and I have season tickets and after a horrid start to this year, this team is wonderful to watch. A’ja Wilson really is the best player in the league. The Aces won over the Lynx and it was a great game. Both teams played like they were in the championship, which more than likely both will be. Then Saturday the UNLV Rebels took on UCLA in football and they won. I don’t go in person to those games, but Allegent was packed.…

Fantastic Workshops In Kickstarter
FOUR THRILLERS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN… Wow does this Kickstarter campaign have two great workshops. We have never done a multiple viewpoint workshop before and as we got looking at it realized that the techniques to do multiple viewpoints correctly take a lot of learning and practice. Same with using Thriller Techniques in regular novels to make them more readable. Get them here for only five more days. FOUR THRILLERS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN. — Workshop #1…Thriller Tricks and Techniques for all Writers… This is a special three-week workshop on the techniques and tricks for writing thrillers. Or just making your regular novels and stories faster-paced and harder to put down. And wow are…

Kickstarter Friday
A Number of Fiction Kickstarters Every Friday… I only list the campaigns I like and that I think would be worth studying for writers thinking of doing a campaign. Send me your campaign if you want me to consider listing it here. Fae-Blessed Deluxe Special Edition Fantasy Hardcovers by Momentum Media and Publishing. Fantasy romance special editions. This has great story (with voice), good illustrations, gifs, and art all the way. And the awards are good ones if you are interested in this type of book. This funded and is doing well. This one would be worth studying and backing if you like romantic fantasy with voice. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/momentummedia/fae-blessed-deluxe-special-edition-fantasy-hardcovers — Unbreak…

Lifetime Everything Subscriptions Offer…
Kris Asked Me A Good Question Today… We were talking while getting lunch and I mentioned that the Lifetime Everything Subscription on the WMG Writers Store needed to be bumped to $5,000 as we intended to do last spring, but honestly forgot, leaving it a $3,500. More and more stuff there now and we are planning even more. Kris asked, “Have you ever offered the Lifetime Everything Subscribers on Teachable a deal to get the one also on the store?” Uhhh, no…. Oops…. Some Classes On the Store… Most everything that takes a webinar, since Teachable can not handle a webinar recorded. Too large. — So 27 weeks of Writer’s…

My Challenge
Four Months Left… My challenge had two parts. First, the idea was to write a short story per day for the entire year. Second, to get my writing back up to over Pulp Speed One, which is one million words a year. The year started off rough right from the start, with a ton of business things that just overwhelmed everything. Called a life roll, and I sort of expected it but hoped I could drive through it. Nope. It was just too much. But my word count has been hanging around the pace to make one million words, so that part I think I can smash through in the…

My Attitude Toward Helping With Copyright…
I Am Not a Lawyer… And would never give legal advice. But I am a long-term professional fiction writer of over 50 years and I know copyright because (duh) that is how I make all my money. So when I say something to inform about copyright, I say what I say not as a lawyer, but in the interest of helping writers learn and avoid issues. A super nice person who has forgotten more of the legal fine details of copyrght that I know often responds to my posts. I need to be clear here. Court cases and attorneys are cheap when you need their help to consult or look…

Friday Kickstarters
I Think These Campaigns Are Worth Looking At… To study or back or both. Before I start I need to tell you that I have a campaign starting on Tuesday at noon. Four Thriller Novels. Take a look if you get a chance. The first one this Friday was one I thought was pretty good, but then I realized it had AI in it and I won’t support anything with AI. I would suggest none of you do either. So here is a good one by a writer who has been in sf as long as Kris and I have and he has made the transition to indie. He is…
