The Return of The Fey
Kickstarter Campaign…. Off to a great start on its first day, far more than any of us expected, which is great fun. In the first five hours we not only funded (39 minutes) but we blew through the first three stretch goals and are approaching the fourth. Wow, just wow. Check it out at The Return of the Fey. The first four stretch rewards not only gets everyone great books to read, but when we hit the fourth, that will give writers three brand new Pop-Up Classes Kris and I worked out around epic fantasy. That will be a $450 value. And, of course, everyone at every award level gets…

The Fey Kickstarter Campaign
Is Live!! Folks, after almost twenty years, Kris is returning to The Fey and she needs your help. Watch her in the video and she explains it perfectly. She needs a deadline. Just with the idea of doing this campaign, she has spent a number of hours each day going back over the big seven books of The Fey, starting to put the entire world back in her head after twenty years. No small task, let me tell you. In the campaign there are some really cool things. Kris has already started a blog series that will go to her Patreon backers that will talk about all the ups and…

Another Short One Because I Will Be Back At Noon…

So watch for information here at noon tomorrow for the campaign to launch at noon. The Return of the Fey.…

This Has To Be Short Tonight…
Not a Lot of Eye Left… I have been doing very detailed work on laying out the paper and PDF version of Smith’s Monthly #47 which will be out in a week. Should have it done by tomorrow which is my deadline. Yay. Honestly, it has been a blast doing this. Also I spent a bunch of time this week on other deadlines, but also getting ready to launch RETURN OF THE FEY Kickstarter campaign, which will start on Tuesday. That’s right, Kris is back working on the Fey after twenty years. How amazingly cool is that. In fact, there is a “Coming Soon!” page you can click a link…

Almost Forgot This Tonight
Very Close… Had everything shut down, was heading to watch a little television before going to bed. Sort of felt like I had forgotten something. You all know that nagging feeling… I had just finished almost four hours on two major projects. I finished doing all the story and main introduction to Pulphouse Issue #12. A big issue this time. And then I had spent the next hour doing the introductions and catching up my spread sheet for all the stories and such in Smith’s Monthly #48. I am also this weekend, laying out #47 (the covers from last night). So I had been doing a lot of different things,…

Some Short Story Covers
Just Having Fun Tonight… Yes, I will do a wrap-up of the 15 days of tracking time, but next week. I want to do something else now. So since I am laying out the paper edition of Smith’s Monthly #47 that will be out in a week or so, I had to do the covers for the five original short stories in the volume. And since I was still in a keeping track of time mode from the challenge, I can tell you that including finding the art, these five covers took exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes with InDesign. And cost me exactly $5.00 in real cost. Four were…

March Workshops Launched… Sale Ends in Two Days!!
March Workshops Started… March workshops are now live and the April regular workshops are available to sign up. But more importantly, the half-price sale is almost over. Ends Thursday at 5 pm.

So just use the code AGAIN to get anything on Teachable at half price. If you have any questions…
