Bad May? Three Days to Reset…
I Actually Had a Great May… But very little writing. Lots and lots of great real-life stuff, great business stuff, and a fun Licensing Expo. I even changed my schedule a week or so back to get up at 9 am, which meant almost no time for writing in my normal writing time. Now I am still working on a short story per day challenge for this year, but I am a bunch of stories behind. Not tossing in the towel and won’t on this challenge. I still have seven months to go. And wouldn’t it be just horrid if I only got 300 short stories done. Oh, poor, poor…

Brain Not Fully Returned…
Licensing Expo Was Amazing… Took all my focus for most of last week and then this last weekend I slept because I have messed my schedule around so that I was getting up at 9 am, three plus hours before normal. Still on the 9 am schedule until after tomorrow, then will ease it back so I can get back to writing. But still not enough brain to even begin to describe a part of the expo. And not enough brain to do another chapter on the Advanced Magic Bakery. Maybe in a few days on both. I actually managed to only take one nap today. So maybe tomorrow. Plus…

SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES Questions
And Yes… I Will Be Getting Back to Advanced Magic Bakery… As soon as my brain returns from the Licensing Expo this last week. As I expected, I am beat up, but really happy with the way the Expo went for us. I will talk more about it all in the future with what I can talk about. But some fantastic connections and ideas and possible licenses. Great fun and tiring. But right now there are two days left on the Early Bird discount on the five new SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES. Here are some questions I have been getting about the new challenges… — If you miss, you get the…

SUPER GREAT KICKSTARTER CHALLENGE…
The Super Great Kickstarter Challenge… Yes, we went there because, honestly, we were asked and honestly, a few of us spent some time today trying to figure out what was a good number of Kickstarters a year for a writer with a day job. So we all came up with the number five. More than one every quarter. Here is how we figured the time. Two weeks to get most of the parts together for a campaign. Two weeks to get the campaign approved by Kickstarter and promote it ahead. Two weeks (17) days for the campaign. Four weeks to fulfill. That’s about 10 weeks. So five per year would…

Hint #1… Plan your writing hours to be as consistent as possible each week. Set a time each day and hit it. Hint #2… If you need 5,000 words a week, plan to do 7,500 words. You can always use the extra words the following week. But if you only plan exactly what you need and things miss…

Write Stuff Story Bundle Just Went Live!!
THE WRITE STUFF STORY BUNDLE 2025 Kris put together a great bundle this year. Check it out at www.storybundle.com/writing. Kris’s blog is below explaining all this great stuff. The 2025 Write Stuff Bundle – Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch When I got into the writing business, it had been stable for decades. Traditional publishing had a monopoly on production and distribution. That part of the industry, based in New York (and London and other capitals for those of you outside of the U.S.), determined what we read, how long the books were available, and where we could buy them. Traditional publishing still exists. Fortunately, it’s not in charge of what we…
