    Katy Perry

    Kris and I Went to Her Show Tonight… Katy Perry has had a residency at the Resorts World Hotel and Casino here in Vegas for the last two years.  It is called “Play.” And it is a whacked out version of Toy Story combined with Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse, twisted a couple dozen more times and then put on steroids. For the entire first two acts I sat with my mouth open in shock and awe at the writing and the over-the-top everything. And the background animation and the between-acts animated transitions were just stunning and clear. Sometimes the animation in the back screens I could not tell if it…

    Last 36 Hours of the Kickstarter

    And Yes, We Hit Two More Stretch Goals!!!   You can see all the details at Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2023 Kickstarter. So we have hit the third and fourth regular stretch goals and two special ones, so that means we open up Pulphouse Fiction Magazine to submissions for only the backers who help us on this subscription drive. That will be fun for me, the editor, to be honest. The magazine will never be open for general submissions. Not ever. I am too old for reading slush piles and now my eyes are too bad. But I will love reading stories from backers who believe in the magazine.…

    A Reminder About the August Regular Workshops…

    There Are Now 9 Regular Workshops… I wanted to repeat this post from a week ago for two reasons. I wanted to make sure everyone saw the regular workshops. And secondly, it is almost 3am and I am too tired to write something new. So here is the post about the regular workshops again. Very, very few are signed up for any of them. —– Not only are we keeping the normal regular workshops, but because of the new world going on with Indie Publishing, we are bringing back THE MAGIC BAKERY six week workshop. Critical to understanding how this new world and copyright is working for indie writers. We…

    Two Mentor Spots Open

    Been a Year Since I Opened This To Three Writers… Since a number of the writers I was helping in this program from years ago are not writing me as often, I decided to open this back up again for two spots. I really enjoy working closely with writers over the years, but I don’t push myself on them. I am just there to help, answer questions, and point in a certain direction. Often my weekly responses are fairly short if things are going well for the writer. Sometimes I give my kind of advice. (grin) I want each writer to be the writer they want to be. And I…
