My Two New Challenges
Yes… Two, Not One, but Two… In a couple weeks I turn 67 years old. I do not want birthday wishes please. Thanks anyway. But the point of telling you that I start into my 67th year is the challenges. First Challenge is a Health Challenge. Last year my walking/running plans did not pan out as I had hoped, so time to reset. I did lose more weight last year, so that was a success. And I figured out what stopped me, another success. So the challenge is this… I am going to run my age. In varied races I will run 67 miles of races. They might be a…

Working All Evening On Lectures
Took a While… On Monday I am doing two lectures, one on corporations for writers and one on IP Valuation and Copyright Termination Clause. Great fun for me. I love reading about copyright and studying copyright. Why wouldn’t I? It’s how I make my living. So tonight I got deep into the Google of articles on those topics (and others, of course, when Google is at play.) I already had my lectures pretty set, just wanted to play more. (grin) Should be a fun few hours for at least me. Not sure how the poor folks who will be listening will take it. (grin) What is a Copyright Termination Clause?…

Back To Regular Programming
The Dust is Settling… It’s going to take one more week of fun stuff before everything returns to normal around here. But all fun and massive learning. Nothing stressful at all. I have spent part of the evening reading short stories from the challenge going on. And also planning out a new challenge for myself for the coming year. And part of the challenge is to do another short story month in November before turning back to novels and other projects. Also getting out Issue Zero of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine in November. Plus reading short stories coming in for the challenge. So going to be a really fun short-fiction month.…

FLASHED PAST THE FOURTH STRETCH GOAL
Amazing. And Wonderful!… For anyone supporting the Kickstarter, you now get Issue Zero of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, an extra issue on whatever subscription you signed up for, and three different books over the next 18 months. How cool is that? Only three days left to jump in. I had some good questions about the workshop credits being offered through the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. Question One: How Can I Get More than Just the One or Three Workshops? You can get as many workshops as you want in increments of $250. If you want one, there is a reward for that. If you want two, just add $250 to the…

Classic Workshop Kickstarter Offer
Two Workshops For the Price of One… A week or so back I mentioned that if you support the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter by buying an online workshop credit. ($300 value for $250 through the Kickstarter), you will get for each workshop credit, a Classic Workshop Credit as well. (A $150 value.) Plus you get a subscription to the magazine as well. Well, ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT to get this offer. That’s right, the Kickstarter only has four days left. So don’t miss out on this one. And remember, you can get as many credits as you like. Even though the one reward says three workshops, just add to your…

Anthology Workshop Surprise
I Was Surprised to Say the Least… Tonight I was doing a quick check of the upcoming coast workshops. We have the Master Business class here in a couple weeks, then the next up is the Anthology Workshop. That actually is the 24th of February to March 3rd. But the group list for the Anthology workshop will start in a week and the actual workshop starts at the end of November when the first writing assignments are sent out. Just over a month away. I had not looked at how many were signed up in a long time. My focus was elsewhere, to be honest, but tonight I discovered there…

Nifty Short Ad for Pulphouse Kickstarter
Thought You Would All Enjoy The Attitude… Below is a link to a short ad that WMG Publishing did for the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. It will be on Facebook and other places in a little bit. I think it fits the attitude of Pulphouse wonderfully. If I can’t have fun with this new/old project, no point in doing it. SPECIAL NEW OFFER!!! For those of you who are getting workshop credits through Kickstarter, for every workshop credit, you will also get a Classic Workshop credit. That’s right, a $150 value workshop. I just am finishing putting into classic status Genre Structure workshop. I have about five workshops more to…

Pricing Silliness and a Learning Lesson
Five Years is Forever in Indie Publishing… Well, I spent the last two nights going back and trying to update and then even fisk my own post from five years ago about pricing. What a fool’s errand. The post was so out of date, I just kept shaking my head in amazement and wondering who wrote it. I was looking at it through 2017 glasses and a ton of new knowledge. Stunning, just stunning how many changes in this business have happened. In the last five years we have done a master business class here on the coast every October, the next one in a few weeks. And every year…

Online Workshops I will announce officially with description the new online Novel Structure workshop tomorrow while posting the November workshops. Actually I now have workshops posted out until April for those thinking of taking advantage of the Kickstarter workshop specials. There are some slots that say (TBA) for new workshops to come along. This Novel Structure Online Workshop will not be a “how to outline” workshop, but instead a workshop to teach you at a deep level the structure of novels. In numbers of genres and with different types of…

A Sort of Repeat
Still Having a Little Site Issue… So while the issue is getting cleared up, with luck by tomorrow (Monday), I figured I would just tell you again about the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. We made our goal in just three days, which was wonderful!! And stunning. And now we are getting close to our first stretch goal. So thank you, everyone who supported this new/old project. It’s going to be great fun!
