Almost Forgot
But Didn’t… Got busy with other stuff, noticed the sun was coming up, and started to go to bed when I remembered this blog. Too tired to talk about anything. Just typing this and heading off to bed, Amazing what you can do to keep a challenge going, isn’t it? The power of a streak!

Lots of Great Things!!!
Thank you, all… Kris and I both really appreciate the well-wishes on our anniversary. It means a lot to us. And, of course, we spent the entire day working. (grin) LAST DAY OF THE EARLY BIRD SALE For the DESIGN FOR INDIE AUTHORS classes on The WMG Writer store. Don’t delay, it drops off Monday evening and unlike how Teachable works, this sale just automatically vanishes on the store.

39 Years Today…
Algis Budrys Told Me To Pick Up Kris… He wanted me to pick her up and give her a ride to a workshop in Taos, New Mexico. And I did and 39 years later we are still together. We celebrate the day we met, not so much our wedding day. Although that was fun, too. It has been a fantastic run and I hope we can make it another 39. Wow, did we write a lot of fiction in those 39 years. Amazing. And had a lot of fun. We can always make each other laugh. Here are some pictures. Love you, Kris. Thanks for putting up with me for…

Challenge Reporting
Writers Reporting In… Writers taking the challenges don’t have to report into me each month, but it tends to help a lot of writers in these different challenges to stay focused and moving forward. And I report my word count each month as well on the right side of this page. A lot of writers did great in April, a lot of us (me included) did not have great months. Right now, after two bad months, I am barely (and I do mean barely) on the million words a year pace, otherwise known as Pulp 1. I am going to need some great months to pop back up to Pulp…
