Card Sharp Silver… Day 8
Another Better Day on Words… Not sure how many exactly because for the first two sessions I flat forgot to make a note as I started and ended. Got caught up in the book. But somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 words for the day. And really, really a fun point went past in the book today. It suddenly became clear to me how to focus all the writers who are going to write Cave Creek stories for the anthologies. My creative voice just sort of put it in and I didn’t notice until it was a ways past. You folks writing for this in the Shared World Class will see…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 7
Writing Picked Up Speed… Just wish the Kickstarter for Cave Creek would. So today I managed to get in here to my internet computer around 11 am or so, doing business and emails. Then around noon I headed out once again for some errands. Bank, store for a few things I missed yesterday. Made it back after a few business calls while in the parking lot of the store, by two. Got disinfected and then Kris and I headed out for a walk to lunch. We walked the mile to the restaurant and back through the mostly empty streets of downtown Las Vegas, then back with our carry out lunch…

Cats Bundle!!
Includes my Cold Poker Gang Novel Ring Game… You know, the novel I finished about two or so weeks ago that was a twisted mystery focused on cats. Well, you can get it exclusively right now through the Storybundle titled: CATS Along with some really amazing other books and collections featuring cats. Kris put this one together and it is flat amazing. And SIX of the ten books are exclusive to the bundle, including RING GAME. And yes, the magic of indie publishing had me finish a book and less than two weeks later it is on sale, exclusive to a major bundle. Love this new world. These bundles come…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 6
Going to Ramp Up Speed Tomorrow… Since the Cave Creek Kickstarter that this novel Card Sharp Silver is a part of has been extended a week, I am going to see if I can finish this book in that amount of time. So got to ramp up to about 4,000 or more words a day to do that. Possible. Only four hours a day. Artificial deadline, I know, but a fun one. Today however, I managed about 1,000 words again. Just too much other stuff and no focus. Started off at 11 am doing email on my internet computer. Did that and some business until around 12:30 pm. Then with…

Kickstarter Extended!!
Now We Have Eight Days Left!!! We could use the help passing the word on this to hit the next stretch goal where all backers get another free book, plus a lecture of their choice worth $50. And the stretch goal beyond that gets yet another free book to read plus writers a $150 workshop. This campaign got caught, as many of us did, in this virus shutdown. But Kickstarter has done something they never do and allowed us to extend the campaign from its set end date. Fantastic support from Kickstarter on this. So if you haven’t given this campaign a look yet, you have no idea what book…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 5
Book Surprising Me… Of course, I had no idea what I was going to write when I started this thing, but what is happening is not at all what I might have expected in hindsight. Really fun and I have no flat idea where it is going or why. I love that. So the day was yet another rest day. At this rate it’s going to take me a few weeks to finish this thing. I hope to speed up at some point, but it was Monday and a bunch of business to do and things. And even worse, I didn’t roll out of bed until almost noon. Got to…

Cave Creek Kickstarter
Only Three Days Left!!! We could use the help passing the word on this to hit the next stretch goal where all backers get another free book, plus a lecture of their choice worth $50. This campaign got caught, as many of us did, in this virus shutdown. But if everyone could pass the word in these last three days, that would be helpful and also get everyone some free books to read fairly quickly while they are stuck at home. So if you haven’t given this campaign a look yet, have no idea what book I am writing in my daily blogs (Cover above), check it out. And remember,…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 4
Wow Was Today Another Rest Day… Worse than yesterday, actually. Not one, not two, but three naps. All 15 minutes or so, and I am finally starting to feel awake. Amazing how stressed I was over the last few weeks. Glad I can take the time now to just rest. So made it to my internet computer around 11 am again and worked business and letters and stuff there until around 1 pm. Then I decided I would give the novel some time, so after a first quick nap, I got to the writing computer and managed about an hour and just at 1,000 words. Really enjoying this book. So…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 3
Another Rest Day… Got to my internet computer around 11 am and worked there on different projects until around 2pm. Cooked Kris and I a light lunch, then we both went back to work. My attitude today was to keep resting, although I have to admit I felt a lot more rested today than yesterday. Still not pushing anything too much. Not sick or anything, just recovering from too much stress, which tends to knock me down for a few days at this age. So more work at the internet side of things, then a nap, then around 6:30 pm Kris and I went out for a walk to get…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 2
Pretty Much A Wash-Out I hit the internet computer with my trusty protein bar at 11 am, and spent three hours working on various emails and business stuff. Typical Friday morning for me. Then I went for a mile one-way walk to see if one of our favorite restaurants was open for take-out. Nope. All shut down. Everything in Nevada is locked up tight these days except for essentials. So Kris called in lunch to another restaurant and I picked it up on the way back. 4,500 steps to start off the day. Took a nap (exhausted from the long last three weeks), then did more email and had another…
