    The Time Travel Fun of Editing…

    Sometimes Even I Get Confused… And I have been editing for 35 years in one way or another. Pulphouse Fiction Magazine #32 came out yesterday to subscribers in ebook. Paper and contributor paper copies will trail along as normal for anything paper. I wrote the introduction to that issue back in early June. Pulphouse is monthly now, which causes me to work out two or three months ahead. Two is minimum. So tonight I finished the introduction to the October issue that will come out right before Halloween. Here in the heat of August I have been writing about the fall weather and Trick-Or-Treating. And selecting a few stories in…

    Determined to Get Some Sleep

    So This Will Be Short… I will get eight hours somehow tonight, so got to just do little here but repeat some information. As I said, I did manage to start all of the new September Regular workshops, which includes the classic Heinlein’s Rules and two brand new workshops, Brushstroke Characters and Faking It. Both of those should be fun and great learning and they are available now on Teachable. Today is the last day on jumping into Kris’s Fall Challenge that runs to September 30th. Watch her daily writing and challenge her to match or beat her word count. That’s on Teachable. And this is the last day to…

    Fun Stuff…

    Mostly Getting Caught Up On Sleep… I really, really, really screwed around my sleep schedule right when I knew there were five days in a row I had to be up before noon. So a lot of long naps to just pretend to get eight hours in a day. Man that makes a person feel like crap and no one to blame but my inability to go to bed before 5 am. But as last night’s post said, I did manage to start all of the new September Regular workshops, which includes the classic Heinlein’s Rules and two brand new workshops, Brushstroke Characters and Faking It. Both of those should…

    Kickstarter Fun…

    Kickstarter and Fiction… One of the main topics after hours and at dinners at the Anthology Workshop this last week was Kickstarter. That sort of makes sense since Loren L. Coleman was there and I was there. Loren did a 10 million dollar Kickstarter and I have done 42 of them now. There were a number of writers attending who had done varying sizes of campaigns along the way as well, so it was a popular topic for the week. So for fun here on my blog, as I get back in and revamp the Kickstarter Best Practices to update it some with Loren’s help over this next month, I…
