    Return of the Fey Kickstarter only 60-Plus Hours Left

    Don’t Let This One Slip Past… Folks, after almost twenty years, Kris is returning to The Fey and she needed your help. Watch her in the video and she explains it perfectly. She needed a deadline and you have given it to her now with The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign. But now, with all the stretch rewards this campaign has hit, this is more than worth everyone backing, readers or writes, to try to hit even the next stretch reward. But only a few days left, counting down now by hours!! In the campaign there are some really cool things. Kris has already started a blog series that…

    Figuring Out a Stretch Goal

    Approaching Next Stretch Goal… The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign has 5 days left and we are nearing the 7th Stretch Goal (amazingly cool!). When we hit that goal, all backers will get the fantastic novel FANTASY LIFE by Kris and another Pop-Up writing class called Freedom Indie Publishing Provides. That is a $150 value. I have promised another stretch goal above the 7th, so I know for the 8th stretch reward it will be another $150 Pop-Up class called Creating Tension in Your Writing. We just have not decided on the next book for that goal. And if we get close to that goal, we will add yet…

    Post Just For Readers

    Books In The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign… Wow, are there a lot of books for readers in The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign.

    Saturday Night…

    Too Busy Working On a Novel… To spend too much time writing a long, thoughtful post. So basically this is another one of those filler blogs to keep my streak alive. I think this is 3,100 days in a row without missing writing and posting a blog here. Might be 3,101 days in a row. Too busy to spend the time and check exactly. (grin) Now I admit that is silliness. But still going. And the Return of the Fey Kickstarter campaign is still going and Kris and I are putting final touches on a Pop-Up class every day and I am recording one a day. Which is why I…

    Crowdfunding Your Fiction

    Kickstarter Best Practices for Fiction Writers… If you are a writer and have even given one thought to doing a Kickstarter campaign, you need this book. This book will become the bible for fiction Kickstarters. Done by Loren L. Coleman, who has done small campaigns and million dollar campaigns, he puts all the details together. This book will not only tell you how to run a successful campaign and make a bunch of money, but also will keep you from making some really silly blunders. He is launching this book as a Kickstarter. Duh. You can get the book for $2.00 electronic. No reason to not have it. Plus he…

    Ramping Back Up Exercise

    Got So Crazy Busy, I Let It Slide… Also had some blood blisters that I kept making worse (wrong shoes, fixed that problem). So finally today I got back up to 4 miles, and will keep that and ramp up a little more to 5 miles plus a day starting Monday. Then in a few weeks after that ramp up to six miles a day minimum. (Starting a streak.) Also starting Monday cutting back to 1,200 to 1,500 calories, with a lot of protein to start dropping a few of the winter and injury pounds. Like a lot of us, I have gained a few pounds since the marathon in…
