So Today This Started…
A Twist of the Knife… A Mystery/Crime Bundle – Curated by Dean Wesley Smith This is the blog I wrote for the Storybundle you can get at https://storybundle.com/crime Every Type of Mystery and Crime I love reading mystery and crime stories. I write mystery and crime stories. I edit mystery and crime stories. In fact, in every issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine that I edit, I try to have at least two or three mystery or crime stories of various types. And since the readers of Pulphouse look for something different, the types of mystery and crime stories range across the entire spectrum of the mystery genre. I really noticed those differences when…

Last Day for Half Price Holiday Sale…
Ends Tonight (Tuesday)… Just use the code HolidaySale to get anything half price. Basically you hit “purchase” and then on the next page put the code in where it asks for it to get the workshop or class at half price. Here is all the information again as to why we are doing this. So folks, stay safe. Stay in and write and learn. That really is critical with this stupid pandemic. Now is not the time to get tired of it and get sloppy and end up sick or dead. Or kill someone around you. Nope, stay safe and careful. The end is in sight coming this next year…

Moving Forward Again…
The Election in the States is Over… So finally, after four long and lost days of far too much junk food and watching television, this election is finally over and we all can get started forward again. So a couple of the classes that we pretty much stopped this summer will be firing back up shortly. Let me list them here, while it is still possible to jump into them at half price for a few more days. The Decade Ahead… All four quarters… When Covid hit, we tried to do a duel course on this for a short time, one writing with Covid and one after Covid, but as…

Stay Safe!!
Covid is Spiking Everywhere… So I really hope that all of you reading this are not taking an chances, staying safe, wearing masks, watching distance and all that. Right now Covid is worse than it has been, and I see no sign of easing up. So focus on the writing, focus on the learning of publishing and writing. Tough to get Covid when sitting alone at your computer writing. We are trying to help once again to keep you learning and in and safe with the half-price sale on the workshops that will be doing until Tuesday night. If you have any questions on anything, write me. Here is the…

Made It Out On the Long Walk…
I Did Just Fine… Actually a little better than expected. I ended up cutting the walk short by two miles down to 11 miles because it was Friday and part of my mapped path went past the new Circa Casino and Fremont Street downtown and on a Friday, that’s just too stupid and too dangerous Covid-wise. So once I realized I had laid out that path and it was Friday, I just cut off that loop and ended at 11 miles. No issues with the feet and at eight miles I did some running to see how that felt and it was fine. And this course tonight had a ton…

Still Distracted…
Didn’t Go Out On the Long Run/Walk… Wanted to watch the election stuff for the third straight night. So, with luck, this election race will be called on Friday and I can get back to writing and answering emails and get that long walk/run in. (In other words, my normal life.) To be honest, that will be wonderful. I am now officially tired of this and have eaten far, far too much crap out of pure nerves. So tomorrow I will report the outcome of the long run/walk (About 13-14 miles) and how I did. I got to get this in this weekend some time, then give myself more than…

From Too Many Chips to Too Much Exercise…
Not Wednesday… No, the exercise is planned for Thursday. A very long walk/run. I figure after two days of eating far too much and too much stupid stress, I needed to do something. So going out for a half-marathon distance (13.1 miles), see how it goes, what my time is, what I feel like when done. So could be interesting. I’ll report tomorrow on how it went. But tonight I want to warn you all that this is the last day, the last few hours, actually of the BIG TIME STORYBUNDLE. Basically an entire bundle of time travel books and stories, some of the best I have read. And you…

Too Many Bags of Chips…
And Too Much Stress… So other than hit my streak of doing a blog a day and reminding you all to look back over the last few posts for information about the half-price sale of all workshops and subscriptions, I am going to finish typing this and go back to the couch to watch even more. If you sent me an email today, I will answer it tomorrow (Wednesday). So don’t panic. So off I go for more stress. And remember, the sale will only last for a short time and if you have any questions about anything, just write me. Stay safe out there, everyone. Back to all regularly…

November Workshops Started
Including the Two Special Ones… And I am still reading the stories from the October special workshops, so give me a few more days on that. A lot of them are very good. So with the sale it is possible to sign up for November and December workshops. I started all the November workshops tonight because I am taking tomorrow off to watch the election. So the last two blogs have a lot of information about the half-price sale of workshops. And if you have any questions, write me. And if you live in the States and have not voted, go do so now. There are no excuses this time…

Workshop Things To Note…
Especially with the Half-Price Sale Going On… — There is a page that I did two months ago with the curriculum of workshops and lectures and pop-ups with suggested order and sorting to try to make sense of all the workshops we offer. I have not included the last two months of stuff yet, but will. You can find the link on the right side of this page in the sidebar. Workshop Curriculum link… — The special three-week workshops that are given with Kickstarter campaigns are not offered anywhere. They can only be gotten through the original Kickstarter. And right now we have a special workshop offered in our Holiday…
