My Personal Challenge Update…
Not Quitting… Firing On… I set out to write one short story per day for this entire year. I am not out of the fight, but life needs to ease up a little bit over the last five months of the year for me to get close. Not expecting that. Hoping, not expecting. (grin) If I do come close, it will be a total success. Actually anywhere over 200 short stories in one year is a total success by any standards. That is more than most writers do in an entire career. But we shall see. I already have my challenge for myself set for 2026. I will write one…

Got Writing and Almost Forgot This Blog…
Sad to Blow The Streak This Close… Started this nightly blog streak on August 1st, 2012. Have not missed a blog yet… So 11 days from 13 years. Not one clue how I have managed that. Tonight got buried in a story, shut off stuff to go to bed and then remembered I needed to do this. So keeping the streak alive one more day. Onward for 11 more days and then after that I hope to just keep going. Wow has publishing and the world changed in those 13 years. Just wow.

ADVANCED MAGIC BAKERY… Chapter Thirteen
CHAPTER THIRTEEN… Levels of Income and Expectations First off, realize that if you sell to traditional book publishers, none of this applies including anything to do with a magic bakery. What you have done by doing that is make a magic pie and then sell all rights in that pie and the pie walks out the door in someone else’s hands to make them money. No income for you besides the sad little advance check. If you have done that, from a person who sold 106 books in traditional publishing before the indie world got started, I feel bad for you. But I must say, in 2025 you should know…

Camp is Going Well and Updates…
First Week A Lot of Basics… And only four days long, but getting some good questions. So that has been fun. The Four Science Fiction Novellas Kickstarter by Kris ended last night and was super. The two special workshops are going to be fun. Everyone should have a survey by the end of Friday. So all great there if all goes well. Now that things have calmed a touch, I will be back on more chapters of the ADVANCED MAGIC BAKERY. I am looking forward to that. And to really getting back writing again. So now off for some rest.
