Reading Pulphouse Stories…
Out of Order… So don’t panic if you get a response from me for an October or November story and you have not gotten a response for a story from a previous month yet. I am just jumping around so I don’t get in a rut with the same theme. Plus if I think I might buy a story, I put it aside and read it again in a few days. However, that said, the HEAT WAVE stories are all responded to. TWILIGHT ZONE stories only have a few left. Fascinating patterns I am noticing in the writing. For example, a lot of the stories are pulling me in, but…

Quick Update on Challenge at Day 100
Not As Good As Last Time… But last time I hung it up, this time I am making plans for the next 100 days of short story writing. Yes, I am behind some stories, but honestly, the insanity of the last three months, it feels great to have gotten done what I did So firing onward. I hope in the next 100 days to find the time to fire back up Smith’s Monthly in some way or another. At this point I might just make it a short story and collections magazine for a time, I sure got enough. (grin) So stay tuned as I ramp back up and work…

Help With Time of Great Forgetting…
Help Coming if You Take It… This year will be a brutal Time of Great Forgetting for most authors. The cause of these months just vanishing from your writing is distractions. Lots and lots of them. Good weather, family events, graduations, gardening, sports, you name it. Massive distractions away from a great schedule you have been maintaining all winter so far with the writing. And also at the moment we have the head-shaking distraction of the craziness coming out of the US government. You combine that with a desire to cover your head or just run into the garden and it makes this coming few months maybe the worst Time…

Four Poker Boy Collections! Forty stories, plus you can also get the only Poker Boy novel (origin novel) and a sequel novella.

In this campaign there are fun new special workshops in how to write Superhero Stories and also How…

Only Lost Two Stories…
Getting Everything Organized… Only cost me two stories. Going to make everything a ton easier and should be no issue catching up those two stories in the next week or so. Wow, did I find some stuff. With the novel starts so far in this new challenge (eight so far), I found another six or seven in the piles of manuscripts. So going to have a lot of novels lined up for next year. And I found stories that had been included in novels, but not put in Smith’s Monthly and so on. But interestingly enough, I was in better shape with those old stories than I thought. Only about…
