    36 Hours Left!!

    Only About 36 Hours Left…. Before the Kristine Kathryn Rusch Starter Kit Kickstarter Campaign ends. If you miss it, you will miss these two special workshops!! —  WRITING IN MANY GENRES Special Workshop!! NOT OFFERED ANYWHERE ELSE Writing in many genres has numbers of problems and a lot of advantages to writers in this modern world. Kris and I  have put together this three-week class to help you understand what makes successful series across different genres, including how to write it and how to market it and brand it. This is not so much on how to write cross-genre stories, but how to write in different genres from story to story and help your…

    18,000 Steps Plus

    As I expected, a lot of milage walking the Licensing Expo. Got there right after nine when it opened, spent three hours walking and talking with people, then lunch, then back for three more hours, then a nap in the WMG suite, then dinner, then back to the suite to talk with writers and artists until 10:30. Hope to do workshops assignments and then this blog. I will get into more detail when my mind returns in a few days, but planning the same day tomorrow exactly. Wow, am I learning a lot. Just wow. KICKSTARTER LESS THAN THREE DAYS LEFT!!! Go to Kristine Kathryn Rusch STARTER KIT and check…

    Only 4 Days Left!!

    Time Is Flashing Past for the Kickstarter… Amazing there is only four days left. And we are about to hit the 5th Stretch Goal, so backers not only get the 10-Book starter kit, but also more books and four of the new Interview Classes where I spend a number of videos in each class talking with Kris about her series, the origin, the problems, the fun, the characters, and the writing. Those should be great fun!! Check out the campaign at Kristine Kathryn Rusch STARTER KIT. Also remember that in four days, the two workshops, CREATING LARGER THAN LIFE CHARACTERS and WRITING IN NUMBERS OF GENRES will both no longer…

    Just Waiting

    Kickstarter is Jammed… Just been waiting now for nine days for Kickstarter to approve our new campaign so we can launch it. Seems everyone should give them more time in the future. They wrote me and apologized and said they were doing the best they could. If approved tomorrow, I’ll give them the extra days. But from now on out we put campaigns in for approval two weeks ahead of when we want to launch. Just never expected this. So with luck, tomorrow, I might do a post here with a link that we have launched. But I am not holding my breath, even though there is nothing wrong with…

    Thinking of Dictating?

    Kevin J Anderson can show you how it is done. On Kevin’s Dan Shamble Kickstarter campaign, he has the raw audio files of the entire new book he dictated, untouched. If you ever thought of wanting to dictate fiction, listen to how Kevin does it. The entire raw file at the $100 reward level. No professional author who dictates ever lets anyone see their raw file. This is the chance to get one for his new book and learn from the entire raw file, first word to last. Plus you get a copy of the ebook to compare it to. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM… Kickstarter campaign only has 44 hours left…

    Why All The Stretch Rewards?

    Why Give So Much Away? Got that question a lot this time, more than any other campaign we have done, although I must admit, that question is pretty normal for our campaigns. If a person does a $5 pledge to get an early copy of RESCUE TWO in electronic form, as I write this they get ten more books and nine workshops worth $1,350.00. But that is about to jump one more goal to eleven books and ten workshops. Why do this? Why give so much away? Two major reasons, actually. First, this is a campaign for my new Seeders novel RESCUE TWO. It stands alone, but gives a good…
