Another Short One Because I Will Be Back At Noon…
… To Announce the new Fey Kickstarter. That’s right. At noon Tuesday West Coast Time, we will launch a Kickstarter Campaign that basically announces Kris’s return to writing The Fey after 20 years. That’s right, it has been twenty years since the Fey ended with the Black King and Black Queen saga. Seven books total. Now Kris is ready to move forward with new stories and books in the Fey Universe. And as the biggest fan of The Fey, I can’t begin to tell you how happy this makes me. So watch for information here at noon tomorrow for the campaign to launch at noon. The Return of the Fey.…

This Has To Be Short Tonight…
Not a Lot of Eye Left… I have been doing very detailed work on laying out the paper and PDF version of Smith’s Monthly #47 which will be out in a week. Should have it done by tomorrow which is my deadline. Yay. Honestly, it has been a blast doing this. Also I spent a bunch of time this week on other deadlines, but also getting ready to launch RETURN OF THE FEY Kickstarter campaign, which will start on Tuesday. That’s right, Kris is back working on the Fey after twenty years. How amazingly cool is that. In fact, there is a “Coming Soon!” page you can click a link…

Almost Forgot This Tonight
Very Close… Had everything shut down, was heading to watch a little television before going to bed. Sort of felt like I had forgotten something. You all know that nagging feeling… I had just finished almost four hours on two major projects. I finished doing all the story and main introduction to Pulphouse Issue #12. A big issue this time. And then I had spent the next hour doing the introductions and catching up my spread sheet for all the stories and such in Smith’s Monthly #48. I am also this weekend, laying out #47 (the covers from last night). So I had been doing a lot of different things,…

Some Short Story Covers
Just Having Fun Tonight… Yes, I will do a wrap-up of the 15 days of tracking time, but next week. I want to do something else now. So since I am laying out the paper edition of Smith’s Monthly #47 that will be out in a week or so, I had to do the covers for the five original short stories in the volume. And since I was still in a keeping track of time mode from the challenge, I can tell you that including finding the art, these five covers took exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes with InDesign. And cost me exactly $5.00 in real cost. Four were…

Day Thirteen of Writing a Novel in Half a Month
Chapter Thirteen: Day Thirteen of Writing a Novel in Half a Month Last night got to bed at my normal 4 am time, but the allergies are still killing me, even with a pill today. And my hearing seemed to get even worse today. Clogged up it with that 30,000 foot in the air feeling trying to pop my ears. All day. On top of that, I was so stupidly busy, I flat forgot to come here and make some entries. Didn’t even think about it until 1 am in the morning. So I will reconstruct the day in one entry for this chapter. Day Thirteen, Entry One (And only).…
