Reporting Writing Challenge…
Started April 1st… Over five months ago. Started off slow and still slow for me, but I have now been pretty consistent over 20,000 words per week as of late. Slow for me. But firing up on a new personal writing challenge on September 15th that I hope to hold until December 15th. I would like to write a story per day during that time. 91 stories. If I hit that I got a hunch I will go on and make it an even hundred by the end of the year. (I did over that number for the first four months of 2022.) That and working on other projects of…

Aces Game Tonight…
Way Too Much Fun… Even with the Aces being tired and sloppy after a long road trip, they still pulled out a win. That was win #31, the most ever in any season by a WMBA team. We got playoff tickets today as well. That should be great fun. Here are some pictures from the game. Kris will have more tomorrow on her Facebook page, as normal.

Fun Concert…
Saw Beatlejuice Musical Tonight… Really fun and really good and the music was great. And I got to sit for the first time in my season ticket seat for all the Broadway shows coming through over this next year. I have to suffer in with my seat because it is in the box on the right side closest ti the stage and my seat is against the railing closest to the stage. In other words, one of the best in the entire place. I am just above eye level of the stage and within six paces. (If I could walk through the air.) Thank you, Kris, for finding and getting…

Thanks for the Responses
Both In the Comments and Email… I just really think that block of notes, 700 note pages it seems, would be fun with the art from one of my Seeders’ novels on it. Someone also sent me a place where you can bulk oder them. 100 of them minimum at a time. Can you imagine the shipping of that much solid paper? Yikes… But the one place everyone found does them POD. Have not figure out that price yet, but will. Thanks!! We got some Pulphouse Fiction Magazine products in today and Kris had me film her doing an “unboxing” of two of them. I guess that is a thing.…

Why Do Streaks?
Day #4,031 of This Blog… Never missed, as I said yesterday. So why do this, or any other writing streak for that matter? The answer is simple… FOR YOURSELF You do it for yourself. Last year I wrote over 100 short stories in 100 days. Why? Because I wanted to. Thought it would be fun, and it was. Over the last few years WMG has had challenges we offer to writers on Teachable. A no-lose challenge. If they miss, they get what they paid in credit in workshops, if they hit the challenge, they get a lifetime subscription of their choice. Story a week, novel every two months, novella a…

11 Years Plus…
Twelve Years Ago Bill Trojan Died… He was a sf and mystery fan, a collector, a hoarder, and a great friend. I spent most of a year taking care of his stuff after he died and settling his estate. 11 years ago on August 1st I started a blog streak, saying something here every night. 11 Years Have Gone By… I have never missed. Power failures, internet failures, computer crashes, being in the hospital, I never missed a blog. As of today, this is blog 4,030 in a row. I was 60 years old when I started this. In the last 11 years I have also written about 14 million…

Some Updates…
Thanks, Everyone… For the support of our grand opening sale for the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine new Shopify store. It was great and we got the store off the ground. Just wonderful! Thanks!! A couple of updates… I will turn off the sale for the workshops around noon when I get up. I would imagine the folks at WMG will be shutting off the sale for the bookstores as well around that point. So if you are up before noon West Coast Time, you can still grab a workshop at half price (see the last number of posts for details.) SPECIAL PULPHOUSE WORKSHOPS I got really delayed this weekend and will…

Reminder About Down in the Details Classes
All Three First Classes Are Up… Each week one more class will be filled in all three genres. The second ones in a few days for each one. Thought I would remind you all about them since there is only three more days in the sale to get them at half price. The brand new series is called DOWN IN THE DETAILS series and it has eight fantasy classes, eight mystery classes, and eight science fiction classes. There is no deadline to take the classes or to turn in a story. Just one story per class per author, but no deadlines at all. If we fill one of the anthologies…

A Really Fun and Great Thing…
Writer David H. Hendrickson Runs for A Great Cause… Award-winning mystery writer and regular contributor to Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, David H. Hendrickson has decided to run the New York City Marathon in early November. Now some of you might remember that in my last half-marathon in February here in Vegas, Dave had already finished and because I was having back issues, came back for me and helped me get through the finish line, to a medical tent, and then to the car. Dave is amazing and he just completed a Half Iron Man race. That just hurts my head. Dave is running the full New York Marathon and he is…

Katy Perry
Kris and I Went to Her Show Tonight… Katy Perry has had a residency at the Resorts World Hotel and Casino here in Vegas for the last two years. It is called “Play.” And it is a whacked out version of Toy Story combined with Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse, twisted a couple dozen more times and then put on steroids. For the entire first two acts I sat with my mouth open in shock and awe at the writing and the over-the-top everything. And the background animation and the between-acts animated transitions were just stunning and clear. Sometimes the animation in the back screens I could not tell if it…
