    Quick Update On The Computer Issues…

    Got a Brand New IMac… They made them smaller at 24 inches, but I have a 27 inch second screen now that is working great. My old computer is in with the experts exporting all the data onto a 2 terabyte hard drive I just bought. Once I get the data off it I need, I will use the new drive as another back-up to this computer. EMail is still an issue. Nothing has been lost because I am in GMail and also have it all on my phone, but being able to answer normally is not up and running yet due to password problems. Please give me a couple…

    I Really Like Sports…

    Not Enough To Play Any of Them Anymore… But I love living in what has now become a major sports city. Tomorrow morning, (in the middle of my night) Kris and a number of other professional writers are headed off to an Ace’s game. We have season tickets and I love the games, but the one tomorrow starts at noon and I won’t be out of bed by then. Tonight, I saw an article about how the construction was going on the new “A”s baseball stadium. That will be a work of art when it is done. And then in the very next article I saw the renderings of a…

    A Look At 13 Years Ago… For Fun…

    In 2012 Indie Publishing Was Just Starting… Since I started this blog 13 years ago today, I thought it might be fun to look back. Kris and I had been getting books up indie for over a year, and I had just finished time taking care of a friend’s estate. I had also done all the covers and loading and everything. Over 300 books at this point, mostly short stories by me and Kris and some of Kris’s novellas and some of her novels. I had put up about sixty of my short stories indie, but if you looked at the Amazon sales page under my name, the only thing…

    13 Years… Every Night… Without Missing

    Not a Clue How I Did This… But somehow, since August 1st, 2012, I did some sort of blog here on this web site every night, without missing a night, for 13 straight years. 4,745 Days. During those years we started and built WMG Publishing with lots of ups and downs along the way. We moved suddenly to Las Vegas. I was in the hospital twice overnight, once for major surgery. I went through more power failures than I care to remember, and the internet went out even more. I never once posted a blog from my phone and did have help from Kris on a bunch of occasions typing…

    Too Late To Write Anything of Value…

    Got to Start These Blogs Earlier in the Day… After four am is just too much of a gamble I will forget to do it as well. Considering I only have a few days left to keep this streak alive for 13 straight years every night, that would be a shame. So to be honest, my mind is mostly shut off, I need some sleep, and the last week has been great fun and a bunch of great news. So nothing tonight but about a hundred words of typing. Maybe I will do better tomorrow night. Maybe… Check back to see if it actually is more nothing. Now that would…

    Still Reading for Pulphouse…

    Finding Some Great Writing… In fact, it is easy to say that almost none of the stories I have been reading are slush material. Almost none. Most of the stories pull me into the story with good depth and great characters and sometimes great voice. Yet I still am sending back a lot of them. Why? They don’t shout “Pulphouse Story.” Clearly they are good stories, maybe even great stories, but if they don’t have that “Pulphouse” feel, I stop reading and send it back and tell the writer why. I will be through the last stories sent in from the Series Collides Kickstarter in a week and in the…
