Doing a Live Chat
Friday Morning at 2 PM Eastern Time… Eleven AM West Coast Time. (Yes, I am getting up early for it.) This chat will be with four or five other authors in the incredible Write Stuff Storybundle 2021. Kris put this together and it is amazing. This has nine books and a Pop-Up Class that you can get for $15.00 or so. Stunning stuff and great authors. So it will be fun to watch for thirty minutes or so, or watch it later if you can’t watch it live.

Moving My Internet and Writing Office
Down to Our Business Office… Yes, we have a condo on the top floor and we have a second office condo on the main floor that we use for a bunch of stuff, and maybe even live workshops when this craziness lifts a little more. (That was the plan for it when we got it two months ahead of the pandemic. Timing.) But I am also moving my writing and internet office down there tomorrow. (Actually started the process today.) Main reason is that it will give me a better chance, less distracted chance, to write more novels back at my old speed. And it will also help me control…

THE CHASE Hit First Stretch Goal…
… IN JUST TEN HOURS!! Wow, not only did if fund very quickly, but then it went on to hit the first stretch goal in just ten hours. That might set a record for the 19 Kickstarter campaigns we have done over the years. Sure surprised all of us in a great way. THE CHASE is Kris’s new Diving novel that is done and ready to ship to the Kickstarter supporters in June. It actually won’t officially publish online and in stores until September, so if you want to read it soon, get on over to the Kickstarter campaign. THE CHASE: Kickstarter Campaign Also got two great special workshops in…

Made Ten Days on the Exercise Streak
5 Miles Per Day Minimum… And with starting any streak, the world said, “Not so fast.” First six days went as planned. I got to the gym each day and did a decent pace. Then on the next day I ended up not going to the gym for various reasons and ended up later in the evening walking around our building. Thankfully, it has not gotten hot yet, but that will change in the next numbers of weeks and late-night walking outside won’t be an option. Last three nights I ended up cutting it so close, I was walking in the hallway outside our condo at 15 minutes until midnight…

Wondered Into Cave Creek Today
Sure Felt Like It… Kris and I and Lisa went out to a 5k run/walk this morning out at a historic park up on the northern edge of Las Vegas. Big old trees, a bunch of ponds, and just about every wild bird you could imagine, all in this incredible green oasis in the middle of this really harsh desert. So Kris went off running with the crowd, and Lisa and I hung to the back because we were going to walk. And it was a beautiful walk, but amazingly windy. And the course was full of twists and turns through the trees and around the ponds and lakes, but…

Challenge Updates
Publishing 70 Books Challenge On Target… Just under six months into the publish 70 books challenge in my 70th year and doing great so far. I have 27 books actually published and 10 more turned in for publication. And I hope by Monday to turn in three more. A new novel, a new issue of Smith’s Monthly, and a new issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. So before the halfway point I will have 40 books published or turned in and in line for publication. And if I just keep up with Smith’s Monthly through the middle of November, I will have 12 more turned in and published (six issues and…

Write Stuff Story Bundle
Holy Smokes is This A Great Bundle!!! 9 writing books and a $150 Pop-up, all for $15.00. Kris did a stunning job rounding up these books. Storybundle.com/writing Every time I look at this bundle, I think “Wow, I want this one.” (Luckily, I get a copy. (grin)) So here is Kris’s blog about the bundle once more. Remember, these bundles are limited time offers. After that you could still get them all but instead of $15 it would cost around $200 total. Just saying. The 2021 Write Stuff Bundle Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch When it comes to the publishing business, most writers believe that the only way to make…

Behind on E-Mail
I Will Get Caught Up By Tomorrow Evening… So if you haven’t heard from me in a day or two, hold on. I have managed to hit five days on my five miles a day minimum in exercise. Win. First days of any streak are always the hardest, especially exercise. Eating control still a problem (see picture below), but gaining on that as well slowly. So now instead of spending the next few hours cleaning up my email, I am going to go finish a new novel. And pictures below are yesterday on our anniversary. Yes, Kris can eat vegan pizza. This was at Slice of Vegas out at the…
