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…

Kickstarter for Poker Boy
Four Poker Boy Collections! Forty stories, plus you can also get the only Poker Boy novel (origin novel) and a sequel novella. We started off great and funded in just over an hour, which is stunning considering we had stopped promoting it was coming a week ahead because of issues (which got resolved at 10 am before we launched.) And we hit the first stretch goal in about 14 hours. Wow! Thanks to you who have backed it already. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/poker-boy?ref=2uys1x Now we have been stuck just $120 from the next stretch goal. In this campaign there are fun new special workshops in how to write Superhero Stories and also How…

Getting Really Organized…
I Mean Really, Really Organized… So I am writing all these new stories. And they are in bunches of different series. At the moment they are just printed out and stacked by the day and month I wrote it. Yeah, that’s stupid. And I have two file cabinet drawers full of manuscripts I’m not sure where they go, or have gone, or even what they are. And I have a spreadsheet of all the stories that have been in the sixty-seven issues of Smith’s Monthly, along with in some cases the collections they have been in. Some cases. So I was having issues getting started on a story tonight because…

PROJECT #50
Poker Boy Kickstarter Will Be #50… All have funded. Wow, that is a lot of projects and a lot of learning. Everyone one of them had different issues either in the project itself or behind the scenes in the building of the project. Yes, even this one. But almost all of them have been great fun to do. We did our first campaign for FICTION RIVER in August 2012. Another campaign for FICTION RIVER IN 2014, and another in 2016. Then in 2017 we launched PULPHOUSE FICTION MAGAZINE with a Kickstarter. What is great fun is that we are finally relaunching FICTION RIVER this summer with a Kickstarter campaign. We…

Calculate Kickstarter Profits…
Stunning How Some Writers Set Up to Fail… And I am not talking about the total gross earned on a campaign or the number of backers or the amount of promotion a campaign will bring to a book or series. All that is really good in various ways. Nope, talking money only. There is no right number for a percentage of profit from a Kickstarter campaign. I have seen it vary from 85% of the gross down to losing money. Depends on the prices you set, the products you offer to backers, and the cost of those products. So a simple round-number example: You have a campaign that does well…
