We Missed a Great Game Today…
Aces vs Liberty… Here in Vegas and we have season tickets, but the game started at noon, which meant me getting up around 9 am and leaving at 10 am. Middle of my night, so I had decided to not go and Kris decided to stay home as well and get the video for the new GHOST OF A CHANCE Kickstarter done. (she did and it is really nifty…) So by the time I made it downstairs, Kris had been watching the Aces’ game for a while and from what she said we had been down, then way up, then way down. I watched the last quarter as we could…

Ghost of a Chance Kickstarter…
Lunches Tuesday at Noon!! Five of my Ghost of a Chance books. Really fun, with ghosts doing things you can’t really imagine ghosts doing. Mostly solving crimes and also falling in love. Yes, these are not scary ghosts. More romantic ghosts trying to figure out how to save other people. Also, Poker Boy guest stars in a couple of these. They all stand alone. These are really fun books and with any reward you get all five. Also there are two really fun and special workshops with this campaign that you can only sign up for through the Kickstarter. Plus other fun stuff like we always do. So take a…

Focus Bundle to Learn Characterization…
Again, By Writer Request… Got off my bundle schedule for another day and did a F0cus Bundle on Characterization and how to write great characters. I am sure having a good time grouping these classes and putting them in an order to be the best to learn. We did so many of these classes over a number of years and not in this order. We just weren’t that smart to them in order. (grin) If you have a lifetime subscription to the Workshops, you have most of this one already. Of course, Everything Subscriptions and Lifetime Workshop subscriptions are half price right now in this bundle sale. See below for…

Connection Issues
Internet Down All Day… Actually it went down when I was writing my blog last night, so I used my hotspot on my phone to finish. In six years in this town, our internet service has been down for maybe an hour four or five times over the years. Stunning service and reliability, so suddenly this happening was really strange. And Cox was texting us every hour or so with updates. Stunningly organized on their part. We discovered after we got back from the Aces game (wow are they having issues at the moment) that a hub for Cox had a fire late last night. They got back up all…

Something Big!
Trying to Figure Out What Big Thing to Do! I am in my 50th year since selling my first two short stories. And this fall I turn 74 and I would really like to challenge myself in that year before I turn 75. It has been a hard few years for me and I want to come out of them screaming forward. (grin) I keep coming up with all sorts of really fun (for me) ideas. And really crazy. I mean really, really off the beam when it comes to writing and publishing. Asimov is known for doing a lot of books in his lifetime. A vast number of them…

Last Day to Join Kris’s Summer Challenge…
Her Challenge Will Be Closed off Late Tonight… This challenge was something Kris really wanted to do to keep herself focused for at least a few hours a day on writing instead of all the business stuff. It worked for her in May and she wanted to extend it through the summer. Every day you get a letter from Kris about her day and her writing. Eye-opening and don’t expect her to ever do this again after this summer. So today is the last day to jump in. Might just be the best thing you can do for your writing for the summer. And for me right now, I have…

What Is A Weekend?
A Great Question That Applies to Professional Writers… Kris and I honestly at times don’t know what day of the week it is. For example, tonight, on the way home from the Aces’s game, we ran into a bunch of traffic right near the Art’s District near where we live. Neither one of us could figure out what was going on until finally Kris said, “Oh, it’s first Friday.” First Friday of every month there is a massive arts’ fair in the downtown area. Even though earlier we had done a normal Friday lunch with writers and I had done a webinar that is always late Friday, neither of our…
