Some Clean Up… And Writing Stuff
Special Workshop Codes Are Out… First, if you signed up for a special workshop in the last Kickstarter, either Making Place a Character or How to Use the Rule of Three, the links and codes are out. If you were signed up for one or both of those workshops, and didn’t get a letter from me with the Subject Line “Special Workshop” (or Workshops), please check your spam filter over the next day or so. If not there, no worries, we have time. Write me and I will get you the codes when I get back later in the week. Second, refunds on the Diving Game are slow, and I…

Busy Day But Not As Expected
Original Plan: Run Two 5K… I have so much stuff to do to get ready to leave on Tuesday, I decided to skip the first run and stay home and work. And for the second 5K I walked a mile. Kris and Lisa did both and I am impressed. But doing both runs would have wiped me out and I needed the hours of writing and work. Most of the time I just powered on finishing the new Thunder Mountain novel. And I am finishing up all the refunds on the game. (Not done yet, so no panic. Still got a lot of letters to send.) And tomorrow I will…

Friday Night…
I Spent All Day At This Computer… And I have a blog streak that I have to maintain, no desire to be here after 12 hours here. I hope you are out enjoying some fun on a Friday night. I am going to finish this and go get a bowl of Cheetos (yes, I know, don’t judge me since it is Friday night and I am not out drinking) and sit and watch a bad hour of television and then pass out from a long day at a computer and too much fake cheese. However, I did start and finish, including doing a full wrap cover, a brand new holiday…

Update on 70’s Challenge…
With Just Under One Month Left Before I Turn 71… My number is 65. So far. 54 books published, eleven in and scheduled to be published this month. (5 publishing tomorrow, actually) Allyson and Gwyneth at WMG Publishing are just amazing, and are stunningly supportive of this craziness. None of us want to try it again, granted, but we are all focused on making it this once. And Kris has been very encouraging even though it has taken me a vast amount of time and energy. I will list here the titles of each book and when it was published when this is over, so no worries there. (And we…

Walking Again And Not Attending 20Books..
Got Two 5K Runs This Saturday… One run in the morning, one run in the evening. I am a long ways from being in good enough shape and down enough weight to actually run both of them. But both are great charities and worth the support, so we are going to try it. I will do a bunch of walking. One is a Donny Osmond run, meaning he uses his name to support the charity. I actually talked with him a couple years back about a book I started to write for him that fell through thirty years ago. He didn’t remember and I would have been shocked if he…

Went to “Cats” Broadway Touring Play
Amazingly Good and Fun… The Smith’s Performing Arts Center opened back up tonight after what they call the longest intermission in history with a performance from the touring company of “Cats.” I had never seen it, and I found it fantastic fun, amazing dancing, and great music. Everyone had to show their vaccination card to get in. Three women were walking toward the entrance behind us when one said to the others, “Get out your cards and driver’s license and get your mask on. (We had to wear it the entire time. No big deal.) One woman said, “I don’t have a card.” I glanced back as two were putting…

Refunds for the Game Will Take a Full Week…
So Give Me a Little Time… I will get to them all. Thanks! Tomorrow, unless I tell you otherwise, at some point the codes to get into the six stretch goal Pop-Up writing classes will be going out to everyone who backed the Ten Little Fen Kickstarter campaign. So watch for those from WMG and if you haven’t gotten them by Wednesday and I haven’t said they are delayed, check your spam filter and give it another day. If still not there, contact Josh at subscriptions@wmgbooks.com Over this next week I will also be contacting each person who signed up for one or both of the special workshops with the…

Diving Universe Game Refund
Going Out This Week! The Diving Game that many of you picked up as a reward in the RETURN OF BOSS Kickstarter Campaign is still lost somewhere in this pandemic and international shipping mess. The game started off being delayed in one factory last October for almost three months. Then we pulled it from that factory just before it closed and got it in another. From that point we have heard (but can’t confirm) that it was shipped a long time ago. With so much cargo backed up in containers all over the world, and this being only 1,000 copies of a small game, we have no way of knowing…
