    Twelve Hours And Doing Great!!

    Seeders Kickstarter Campaign… Already Into Stretch Goals… Actually, we funded in about 40 minutes and hit the first stretch goal very quickly after that. Then we hit the next one this evening. The second one has not only a book as part of the reward for hitting the goal, but the first of ten possible Pop-Up classes on World Building in Science Fiction. Each Pop-Up is worth $150.00. So in case you want to take a look and help us pass the word to get as many of these Pop-Up Classes as we can, go to RESCUE TWO SEEDERS UNIVERSE KICKSTARTER. Here are the ten World Building Pop-Ups that if…

    Writing and Reading…

    So No Real Blog Tonight… Although at some point I will get back to the non-fiction book I started here in this blog. But tonight I am working on a novelette that I need to finish and also reading Kris’s first full Fey novel in over twenty years. And yes, it is stunningly good. So besides my own writing, reading is taking my attention for some unknown reason. (grin) And with luck, we may even have a Seeders Universe Kickstarter campaign to launch tomorrow. And AGAINST TIME, the actual first book in the Seeders Universe had a Bookbub yesterday and is still free on Amazon if you want to grab…

    ALIENS AMONG US BUNDLE

    Really, Really Cool Storybundle… With some fantastic science fiction books by great writers. I got to curate this and I even mentioned it here when I was looking for books. Fun putting it together. Following is my blog about it. I hope you grab a bundle for some great reading. WWW.Storybundle.com/aliens ALL FUN… One thing science fiction fans think about when you say “Aliens Among Us” is aliens like body snatchers, or Grays flitting around Area 51. None of that in this group of great novels and stories. Just great books with great takes on aliens. And the title of this bundle comes from a Pulphouse Fiction Magazine anthology of…

    Challenges (Wrong Information Out There)

    Not Sure How This Information Got Spread… But I heard yesterday from a person who didn’t feel that spending $600 and then not being able to write on something a year in would be a good thing. And that they would lose their money like putting it in a slot machine. I wrote back and said that the challenges don’t cost anything. Yes, you spend the $600 to get into the mix. But if you miss, you get $600 in credits for anything on WMG Teachable except for another challenge. So in other words, you buy $600 in credits for any workshop or anything, and then get to have some…

    Back Working and Writing

    Having Fun with the Writing… Other stuff is work. (grin) Doing my obligatory blog tonight ahead of the time change and then headed to get some sleep. I recorded the Motivational Monday videos tonight, and also recorded the third week of Secrets. And I hope everyone who was supposed to get the nine Pop-Up Mystery classes got them all right. If not, check your spam filter and then if still not there, contact subscriptions at WMGbooks on Monday. In this upcoming Seeders Kickstarter, we decided to do the same ten Pop-Up focused classes, only instead of mystery, we are aiming them at science fiction. And we are going to make…

    A Day Off

    From Everything… It is Friday. I had a great lunch with Kris, then off to a fun movie, then home for dinner and then a nap. Then I watched a couple shows and three hours of Castle. (Yes, I have seen them all.) Yes, I will catch up any story I missed writing. I am now headed for bed for a full night’s sleep. This still counts as not missing a blog, so there. The stupidly long blog streak continues.

    Pop-Ups From Campaign

    Headed Your Way in the Morning… So watch your email tomorrow and if you don’t have them by Monday, contact Josh. Everyone who supported the Crimes Collide got these nine Pop-Up classes focused on mystery. They are $150 each, so everyone got $1,350 in value in classes, not counting all the extra books. Everyone got nine of the ten in this Who, What, and How to Study series because the campaign did that well, but didn’t make the last stretch reward. Now again, these will not be sent out until Friday, so don’t get ahead of WMG on this. And the 10th one in the series is not finished yet,…
