Got Story Five Done by 6 A.M.
It Seems Being Exhausted Helps… I got to the story this morning at 3:30 a.m. Far, far, too late. But… My Day Went Like This… Just trust me, there was no stopping except for one nap, cook dinner, and watch one hour of The Voice. The rest of the day was going from 2 p.m. until now, 6:30 a.m. And yes, I got my 10,000 steps. I sat down at 3:30 and looked at my half-title sheet and decided the first thing I looked at I would go with, so that was “Under Glass.” And I would do a Cold Poker Gang mystery, since I have those characters in my…

At least for four more days… I wanted to repeat this here to make sure everyone has a chance at this if you want workshops coming up.

Starting Challenge Tomorrow
I Am Excited… It has been a while since I have been this excited about a challenge. And focused on it, which I will need to be over an entire year. Writing/publishing my age. 67 books. This just may be one of the crazier things I have ever tried. I figured out that to do this I will need to write just about 1.2 million words of new and original fiction. Over Pulp Speed Two, basically, for the entire year. For those of you with math issues, that is over 3,250 words per day without missing a day, 365 days a year. Well, I will miss, but luckily I will…

Think Like a Publisher is a Workshop
New Online Workshop Starting in December… That’s right, a new one starting now with Novel Structure and a new business workshop called Think Like a Publisher starting in December. Some of you here remember the blog posts turned into a book called “Think Like a Publisher 2012.” I kept working to update it but could never contain the information into a book that seemed to work. So Kris and I started planning that once this new indie world settled a little, we would do the Think Like a Publisher as a workshop to get in all the information. After the last major business class here on the coast, we’re ready…

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…

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.

And remember, if you get a workshop or workshops through the…
