    What a Transition Day…

    Amazing Numbers of Things Ended and Started… First off, today was the last morning for the In-Person Romance/Spies class, and last night I put up the last videos for the Study Along part of that class. Really a fun one in my opinion and Kris and the gang here seemed to enjoy it as well. I had a quick dinner with them last night which was fun. And then today Kris gave me the assignment for the Add-On novella Romance/Spies Class. You had to take the In-Person or Study Along to take this one. Not a lot of videos, but Kris gave the assignment and she will read every novella…

    Close Brush With Death…

    Honestly, This Might Be One of My Closest… Over the years, in my life, I have had a lot of close brushes with death, from being swept under a rock in fast rapids to getting tangled in high-tension power lines while skydiving. And sadly enough, there are others. All of which start with me saying, “I thought it was a good idea at the time.” But yesterday, I had a very close call and I wasn’t even doing anything stupid. (go figure) Kris and I were headed down to the Arts District to have lunch at a favorite restaurant. We pulled into a diagonal parking spot, nose of the passenger…

    Three Days Left… The Workshops

    Going Over The Workshops in the Pulphouse Kickstarter Wow are there a lot of writer workshops available in this Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2022 Kickstarter Let me start with the two Special Workshops, only available for three more days.

    Only Four Days Left in Pulphouse Subscription Drive!!!

    Wow, This Has Gone By Quickly!! Pulphouse Fiction Magazine is just like any other magazine in one critical way. We need subscribers to stay alive. And that is what this Kickstarter subscription campaign is all about. Subscribers. Now granted, we sell copies and get subscriptions during the year, but not enough to stay afloat and pay the professional rates to all the authors. As the editor, I don’t take a salary, and the work at WMG Publishing is folded into the overall costs of running the business. But we won’t do a project if the project does not pay professional rates to the authors. Period. So that is what this…

    Just a General Day…

    We All Have Them… Seems like nothing really got done, yet when I look back at the day, a lot actually did get done. I got a lot of email done before Kris and I headed out for a great lunch at a new place we wanted to try. It’s a keeper. Did my first two miles of exercise around the casino the new restaurant was in. Got to stay inside since it is summer heat here. Then I headed to the grocery store and did the shopping, then home and cooked dinner. Then I recorded a week of one of the new workshops. After that I headed to the…
