Other People’s Kickstarter Problems…
I Was Sent Two Campaigns Today… The owners of the campaigns wanted me to look at putting them here on my blog to promote. A new feature I am doing weekly, but I was clear I would not put up any campaign that I did not support or like. My blog, my rules. Both campaigns I got today were first campaigns and both were ambitious for single books, which is good, unless you try to cram in everything including the kitchen sink. Then information flow in the story is a major problem for backers. Both had that problem. Both had art that any 6th grader could have done better. And…

A No-Nothing Night…
Almost Forgot To Do This Blog… Got to keep the streak going for some reason or another. I was working on different workshops tonight, plus some Kickstarter work, and just spaced this along the way. Workshops I am working on are Promotion (nine weeks on Teachable) and another on “Clearing Your Mind of Can’t.” Also putting up some Advanced Craft classes and Regular workshops. All starting first of September. So stay tuned. And Kris took a great photo of me slouched in my big chair, watching the end of the Raiders Game, with a beautiful white cat asleep holding onto my stomach. Was going to put it up but my…

Kickstarters That I Suggest… New Weekly Feature…
Yes, Going To Try This… If you are starting a publishing Kickstarter, first off you can send it to me to check for you ahead of time. I will be glad to. Or you can send it to me after you launch. If I think it works, I will list it here. I will say only positive things about any campaign I list. If I think one does not work or has too many problems to list, I won’t even mention it. So send me your campaign by email with the subject line Kickstarter Campaign with a link. And if I don’t mention it, please don’t be angry with me. …

Some Misc. Updates on Stuff…
Just Catching Up… Start off, I lost almost nothing (a few assignments is all) with my computer melt-down. I find that amazing, although I do have a lot of new programs to learn and searching for things I knew are there. In other words, my system of six years got blown up as well. And right before a launch of a Kickstarter and in the middle of the Writing Career Camp. I will be back reading for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine for the stories sent to me this spring from the SERIES COLLIDES Kickstarter. I thought I might have lost those, but thankfully I did not. So back reading so I…

Submissions to Pulphouse Fiction Magazine…
SUBMISSIONS WILL NEVER BE OPEN… SORRY. Just not happening. I am a writer first. However, as we were going monthly with the magazine, I started trying to figure out a way to get writers who had read the magazine and knew what kind of fiction was in Pulphouse a way to submit stories at times. Not sure who suggested to do it as part of the stretch goals, but that was a great idea. If you backed the Kickstarter, it meant you had a subscription and could read the stories. And every month from each stretch goal hit I could get a new theme for writers to try to write…

Aces Basketball…
On A Friday Night… Great pizza ahead of time, then the game. 40th sold-out arena in a row. Stunningly frustrating game. The Aces have maybe, by a distance, the best team in the WNBA on sheer talent of every player. They have four of the Olympic team. But since they won the second straight championship in 2023, they flat seem to have forgotten how to win. (Or flat don’t care which worries me more than anything.) Tonight they were playing the Storm from Seattle, a good team, sure, but no where near the level of talent of the Aces. And it showed. At one point at the start of the…
