Last Hours!
Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter… Only hours left. It will close a little after 6 p.m. West Coast time, so don’t miss out. And I am stunned and thankful for all the hundreds of people who have supported this project. I always felt sad the most when we closed Pulphouse Incorporated back in 1996 to stop this magazine. So now, 21 years later, to have this kind of support bringing Pulphouse Fiction Magazine back is wonderful. So thank you!! As a reminder and last pitch, every supporter gets an Issue Zero, and extra copy on their subscription, and three special books. If you are thinking of workshops, this is the way…

FLASHED PAST THE FOURTH STRETCH GOAL
Amazing. And Wonderful!… For anyone supporting the Kickstarter, you now get Issue Zero of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, an extra issue on whatever subscription you signed up for, and three different books over the next 18 months. How cool is that? Only three days left to jump in. I had some good questions about the workshop credits being offered through the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. Question One: How Can I Get More than Just the One or Three Workshops? You can get as many workshops as you want in increments of $250. If you want one, there is a reward for that. If you want two, just add $250 to the…

Some Finds
Finding Cool Collections… Some of you know that not only do I love pop culture and books of all sorts, but WMG Publishing owns three stores. Two called Pop Culture Collectables, one of which has a bookstore in it, and a full bookstore called North by Northwest Books. Now on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I was out on a picking run through parts of Washington and into northern Idaho. Found some wonderful stuff. The week before that we got part of a Coca Cola Christmas collection from Shelly. Haven’t had time to even start into that one yet, let alone pick up the second half. Here is a picture of…

Third Stretch Goal for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine
We Made It!!!… The third stretch goal which means that everyone supporting the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter will get a book called NO WAY: Totally Twisted Tales: Stories from Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. You can see the cover on the main page of the Kickstarter page. This third stretch goal we called the Cartwheel because making it would make us happy enough to want to do a cartwheel. But alas, all of the crew is far too old, so we had Stomper do it for us. Here is the video: Thanks, everyone for the support. It means a great deal. And remember, if you get a workshop or workshops through the…

Great Dinner With Friends
These Old Friends Know Nothing About Writing… And it was a pleasure to sit for an entire dinner and never once mention writing or publishing. I have sometimes wondered if I was capable of doing that. Seems I am. (grin) Tonight I also finished up the two cross-over days of online workshop assignments with September workshops ending and October first assignments starting. And last night I had some e-mail issues (left over from last week) that caused me to not get done until 5 this morning. Long night there. I have also done some picking for the stores over the last two days. And one of my friends had three…

Even I Am Overwhelmed With Good Stuff…
But Things Will Calm Down… First off, those letters and stuff from two of my posts making it to ThePassiveVoice.com sure stirred up the young-writer hornet’s nest. Fun letters and comments. Only had to hold back three insulting comments this time. And some very good points, well spoken, in the comments both here and on ThePassiveVoice.com. Worth reading. Thanks for the discussion, folks. It’s been fun. I am really overwhelmed at all the fun stuff happening at the moment. We announced our new coast workshops for the year, on the 18th a Branding SF Covers workshop will be starting, we have a brand new online workshop called Novel Structure starting…
