Restart Motivation
October 1st Just Two Weeks Away! So I got two weeks to figure out some new challenges, new motivation, maybe pick up the short story challenge I fell off of earlier in the year. October 1st is a great time to do that. A challenge I am thinking of is 100 short stories in 100 days. That will bring my total short stories up over 200 for the year. Not 365 as I had set out to do, but still not bad. (grin) Today I was working on getting the new 2023 Collection Classes posted and live for the coming sale. All six from the first year will be available…

False Start On Buffet Book!
Really, Really False Start Headed out to go to the Palace Station Hotel and Casino. It is an off-strip casino fairly close to downtown. We often go there because they have a great movie theater upstairs and for years I had been looking forward to trying their buffet. It seems that less than two weeks ago, the buffet closed down for good. They have some other great-looking restaurants, but no longer a buffet. Well, that was a bummer. Never went by the place when there wasn’t a good line to get in. My sense is they couldn’t find enough employees to keep it going. That is a big problem here…

Last Day for Fey Kickstarter
Counting Down the Hours… Ends at 7 PM West Coast Time!! Brand New Fey Novel Kickstarter Campaign. Amazing books, amazing workshops, and everyone gets the first Fey novel in 22 years, THE KIRILLI MATTER. We just hit the 7th stretch goal and climbing, which means that all backers not only get seven more stories by Kris, but writers get six months of Motivational classes. And I think it is possible to another stretch goal before this is over if we can all pass the word. Again, ends at 7pm Thursday West Coast Time. This is the last hours. At that point the special workshops go away. And you will have…

Why Do We Do Kickstarters?
I Got That Question Today… The question sort of caught me by surprise, to be honest. First off, surface reasons. 1… It gets new books to readers ahead of the publication date and at a discount. Fans of a series or a writer enjoy that. I know I do, which is one of the reasons why I back so many campaigns. 2… It gets our work out to readers we might never find and they might then buy more of our work. This is called discoverability. 3… It is amazing promotion and advertising and you don’t have to pay for it. In fact, if you do it right, you get…

Fun Video
Lessons from the Writing of the Fey… This is a really fun video, and on the BRAND NEW FEY NOVEL Kickstarter for six more days you can get the videos at a discount, or get them through the major workshop we are offering there, or buy the entire group of them on Teachable under Lessons from The Writing of the Fey. Gwyneth and Allyson did this the last day and Kris and I thought it fun. And trust me, those videos Kris did for Lessons from the Writing of the Fey will amaze you if you are a writer or a reader. Really stunning.

Got Closer to Buffet Challenge
Took My New iPad to a Buffet… Sort of a test run. Didn’t plan on doing any writing, just mostly setting up a bunch of programs on my iPad, including Microsoft Word and Outlook. Got interesting, to say the least, but 90% there. Only killed the only email I have left twice, but managed to save it both times. Yikes… Even set up a word doc that I can use sort of for a template. And wrote the start of a story. The first line of the story is… “The 1950s called and they want their food back.” Yup, the buffet I was in was that bad. And I like…
