Fantastic New Craft Special Workshop
How to Make Place a Character… Kris and I are watching a Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez series called ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. Wow is it funny and twisted, very twisted, and we are only two episodes of ten into it. The really cool thing is that the apartment building in New York is a major character. Kris writes a series of stories and now a novel she calls Spade/Paladin Conundrums. You can see the stories that are available in the series here. She has been writing them for a good decade or more. They are all mysteries set at science fiction conventions. Kris has now finished…

Last Kickstarter Workshops Housekeeping Post…
All Regular Rewards Are Out… Yesterday I sent out all the codes and information for the Special Workshops and regular workshops that were sold in the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter. And last week a new issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine went out to all old and new subscribers. All paper books are sent out and drifting in the mail, so they will be arriving as the mail allows. Tomorrow, all supporters will get the codes to the five Pop-Up writing classes that were in the stretch rewards. So watch for those tomorrow. And then finally, by the end of September, all six of the Pulphouse collections that were stretch rewards…

Kickstarter Awards Starting Out
Please Give Us A Little Time, But… Some awards have already been going out. For example, Pulphouse Fiction Magazine #13 published last week and went out. And today and tonight I wrote everyone who signed up for one or both of the special workshops. If you did not get a letter from me, please check your spam filter. And remember, we sent the letter to the email you put on your kickstarter unless you told us otherwise. So check that as well. Then if you still can’t find the letter I sent you, write me. If you did get the letter on the special workshops, make your choices and get…

I Love Being In StoryBundles
For a Number of Reasons… First, I love reading, as a reader, what the other writers have put in the StoryBundle. Usually takes me the entire time the bundle is up before I get done reading or looking at them all. But just as a reader who buys it, I love all the different books in a certain topic. Great fun. Second, it helps people find different work of mine that chances are I would write, publish, and forget. Needing a book to put into a Storybundle is a great incentive. And I have actually written a few books over the years just for a bundle. And it gives the…

Fantastic Writing Advice by Keith Johnstone
Maybe Worth Really Looking At… I found it amazing. This advice came from a blog post Johnstone did back in 2020. Sadly, since that time he has done very few. He is 87 years of age and no longer teaching as far as I can tell as well. But he is an actor, a writer, and is known as one of the pioneers of improvisational theater. In essence, he is amazing. One of his many thoughts in this random blog post of misc. stuff was called Five Ideas. You can read the entire post here… https://www.keithjohnstone.com/post/_misc I was sent this part of the post and think it is amazing. Thanks,…

A Quick Post for the Challenge
Didn’t Want to Miss My Streak… And right now WMG Publishing site is down, and since we are sort of hooked up, I thought I had better get over here and get a post up before this site goes down as well from whatever is causing that site to be down. I’ll be back tomorrow with information on a bunch of stuff that I was going to talk about tonight. Oh, well. So typing as fast as I can with my fingers crossed. (grin) Night!

I Hope Everyone Had a Chance At The Sale…
I Tried to Answer Questions Quickly… On request of two people, I will leave the half-price discount code in place until I get up tomorrow morning around 10 am west coast time in case someone missed something. Then the sale will be done. Kris and I and everyone at WMG Publishing really hope the sale helped and the classes will help your writing and publishing down the road. Speaking of classes, Kris and I just finished putting together the last two Pop-Ups from the Pulphouse Kickstarter and all five Pop-Ups from the stretch rewards will be sent out on the 31st. Also, I will be contacting everyone who signed up…
