Kickstarter Firing Up At Noon!
IF YOU LOVE FANTASY NOVELS… That is the Kickstarter for you. Three epic fantasy novels written by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Brand new editions of THE WHITE MISTS OF POWER, HEART READERS, and TRAITORS. All three books stand alone and are fantastic epic fantasy, so in bringing them forward into the light, Kris felt they all belonged together, so we branded them together. Turned out fantastic. And we hark back to the past just a bit. THE WHITE MISTS OF POWER was put out a few months ahead of the mass market edition in a limited slipcased hardback, numbered and signed by Kris. She is willing to part with just five…

3 EPIC FANTASY NOVELS…
WRITTEN BY KRISTINE KATHRYN RUSCH… That is the Kickstarter we have starting tomorrow. Brand new editions of THE WHITE MISTS OF POWER, HEART READERS, and TRAITORS. All three books stand alone and are fantastic epic fantasy, so in bringing them forward into the light, Kris felt they all belonged together, so we branded them together. Turned out fantastic. And the two special writing workshops in this one are great. One is HOW TO REVIVE GREAT OLDER NOVELS AND STORIES. I noticed as we were working on this project, there were a bunch of steps to bringing a book out of the dark. So we thought we would show all of…

Workshop Updates
A Bunch of Them… Figured I would do this workshop summary after I scared everyone yesterday with managing to get through two months of the challenge. (grin) So here I go… IN PERSON CRAFT CLASSES… And Study Along Classes… Kris has the reading list up on the Gothic Study Along on Teachable. I have sent everyone signed up for the in-person class a letter on how to get into the Study Along to get the reading list. Two spots in the May Gothic workshop. $750. Four says of Kris working with you on craft. May 5th-8th. Write me if interested. Also on Teachable there is the Study Along for the…

Kris Post On Facebook…
From Her Perspective on the Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon… As anything Kris does, really clearly written and fun to read, even if I was one of those stragglers managing to get to food. The real challenge of that run wasn’t the 13 miles because that was all in the middle of the street. The real challenge was going that far and then having to go another three miles through and around and up stairs and down stairs in and out of six or seven casinos and hotels. (First time I ever set foot in the Waldorf…) I kept being short with Kris every time she called me because I…

Not Much To Say About the Story Challenge…
I Just Manage to Work At It Every Night… Sometimes also during an afternoon. Taking me from 2 to 3 hours a day. Often in the first 45 minutes I manage around 500 words, then take a break and I get about 1,300 words an hour from there. Kris is reading a story as she has a chance. She has read about thirty or so of them. And I am using some of them to fill up the last volume of the third Marble Grant collection. (Thought I had enough without checking… so wrote some in January and some this month to fill the collection.) They should be out later…

Still Recovering…
Very Sore Feet… But they are getting better. And I got a lot of workshop stuff and email done today, so slowly getting caught up. Story challenge just keeps going along. Giving it a focus and the story lengths are under 2,000 words, but still chugging. I will do some longer updates in the next few days on the challenge. LIFETIME EVERYTHING SUBSCRIPTION… Just three more days to get it at half price for the Lifetime Everything Subscription on Teachable. We started the sale for February but I have said almost nothing about it. This is a stunningly good deal if you plan on really working on your writing into…

Thanks for All the Kind Thoughts…
I Really Appreciated Them… Especially as I limped around all day and took two naps. (grin) Managed to keep up the stories and do email and some assignments. I should be caught up by tomorrow. So let me tell you about a few workshops I am really proud we are doing. Workshops… Writer’s Block… It is on the WMG Writer Store We are doing a third session. If you have problems getting up to the speed you want or just not writing much at all, you can get the first two sessions of nine weeks each with webinars each week, all recorded, and then fire into the third session. It…

Story Challenge…
Story #21 for February… Story #52 in a row for the challenge. Scary I did a year’s worth of weekly stories between January 1st and February 21st. (grin) Onward I go. Fun Writer’s Direct webinar today on the WMG Writer Store on publishing paper and so on. Great fun. And we are doing a third session of Writer’s Block. You can still get the first two sessions and watch the recorded webinars and jump in for the last part of the second nine week session and the third nine week session. I think it is worth while. The podcast I did the other day is now live. Watch it at……

Writing, Workshops, Podcast… Oh, My…
Busy and Fun Day… I seldom do podcasts and things like that, but it sounded like fun and it was and I will tell you when it releases. One main reason I don’t do them is that Kris and my offices are within ear-shot of each other, so I would disturb her writing. But today she planned on getting her writing done early and spending the afternoon down in the WMG office, so the runway was all clear. Story Challenge… The story today was another Detective Crunch story called “The Woman Who Had Half a Clue.” Also really fun. So all good on the challenge and I think I have…

Always a Battle On Monday…
Lot of Email and Workshop Stuff On Mondays… So getting a daily story done is a battle, carving out the time. Every Monday is a victory when a story gets done and tonight it was a Marble Grant story called “A Window for No Time.” Love that title. Got kind of snarky with the story, which was also fun. I am so looking forward to starting the next stage of this, which is ramping up the publishing part. I will feel a lot better if Kris has read a month’s worth of stories before I fire into that. So not far off. Shortest story so far is 1,600 words and…
