Kris’s Birthday Party Reminder
You Are All Invited… And how to attend? Send Kris a birthday card. That way in this crazy time of isolation, Kris can feel that you are all there at this wonderful party. I will supply the cake, more than enough (last year Kris and I ate on the cake for a week.) So her birthday is June 4th, exactly three weeks from today. No gifts, nothing else but a signed birthday card. Or some way to know who is attending on the card. Trust me, photos and recordings will happen, because, after all, that is this new world. So send a card to join the party. Full information two…

Two Bundles With StoryBundle.com
I Have Stuff in Two Different Storybundles Right Now… In the Adventure SF bundle I actually have a Thunder Mountain novel, a collection I edited, and the cover story in Writers of the Future #35. How fun is that? And the bundle is ending in just over a day!!! So don’t miss this one, for no other reason than to get Snot-Nosed Aliens Anthology from Pulphouse. Stories in there are as fun as they sound. And a Thunder Mountain novel from me and a Retrieval Artist novel from Kris. And, oh yeah, a bunch of other great sf writers like Kevin J. Anderson and Rick Wilber to name just two.…

Last Day on Summer Learning Sale
Ends Sunday at 5 PM West Coast Time… It has been an interesting three months or so, to say the least in a massive understated way. When this crazy shut down hit in March, Allyson and Kris pushed that we find a way to get workshops to writers to help them stay shut in for a time. That was also when we decided to add in such great stretch goals and do the Writing Bundles of books for such a low price through Kickstarter. When done correctly, writing and publishing can be an escape from the fears and craziness of real life. I know that well because I used reading…

New Pop-Up Available
How to Work From Home… That is now Pop-Up #20. Kris and I have had this one on the Pop-Up list for a while and it finally dawned on us to get it up now, while so many writers are struggling to work from home. This is not only for this pandemic, but for writers and other professionals looking at working from home in the future. How to get organized, time management, motivation, and problems. Lots of stuff, plus, like all Pop-Ups, a story prompt as well. And yes, you can get it half price in the Summer Learning Sale for two more days. And I loaded it into the…

Summer Learning Workshop Sale
We Are Still Stuck At Home… At least for a little while longer, with the exceptions, of course, of the brave health care workers, police, grocery store clerks, and others struggling to help out. Everyone is talking about reopening, but no timelines yet because the virus won’t let exact dates happen. So, almost all of us are staying at home still, after months, making sure we do not spread this virus, to give the hospitals a chance to beat this thing. And slowly things are getting better. But to stay sane through this last part, we need to keep focused. Back in March (a very long couple of decades ago),…

Letters Out For Historical Workshop and News
Sent Letters to Everyone… So if you signed up for the Writing Historical Fiction special workshop in the Cave Creek Kickstarter and didn’t get a letter from me, after checking your spam filter, write me. In the letter you have the choice to sign up for either the May session or the June session. Totally up to each of you. But those will be the only two sessions. And all the surveys have gone out for the Writing Bundles Kickstarter which just closed, so get those surveys back quickly if you can. That way we can get out all the awards and books. Still Under Stay-At-Home Orders… Looks like most…

Catching Up and New Workshop
A BUNCH OF DETAILS… First off, finally finishing the reading on the Messed Up stories for Pulphouse. Got just a few more. I’ve had to limit my screen time for my one eye, but getting back up to speed slowly. So those should be done in the next day or so and out to everyone. Secondly, setting up the June workshops. A couple of those are posted already. The rest to follow. Third, those of you who signed up for Writing Historical Fiction should get a letter from me this weekend with links to the May and June workshops. You can pick the one you would like to take. That…

Last 18 Hours…
5 Writing Bundles Containing 17 Books… Plus you get Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s fantastic Freelancer’s Survival Guide. And two Tip-Of-The-Week lectures with 13 tips in each one. Plus a Futures Workshop and a bundle of six genre classic workshops. That is exactly $1,000 in value in lectures and workshops. Crazy, huh? Over 300 teaching videos combined. And today a number of people asked me, “Why?” Simple, actually. When we all got locked down in March, Kris and I and Allyson were trying to figure out ways we could help writers stay focused, keep learning, and keep writing. But we knew money would be tight for everyone, so we did what we…

Writing Bundles Kickstarter Almost Done…
All Seventeen of Our Writing Books in Five Bundles And from the looks of it, we are about to hit our top stretch goal, where all backers will get a bundle of classic workshops worth $600.00. (That means everyone would get $1,000 in value in lectures and workshops, plus First Tee Panic and Kris’s Freelancer’s Survival Guide.) That’s right! Not kidding. But only just over a day left. So don’t miss backing this one. UPDATE!!! We hit the top stretch goal!!!
