Last Day for Workshop Offer!
Almost Done… The offer is below the list of workshops. I wanted to post them here again tonight in no particular order except that the Depth should be first. Below that are the Classic Workshops available at the moment, then the special offer. I am amazed we have 19 Regular Workshops and 6 Strengths Workshops and 9 Classic Workshops, with more Classic coming on line over the next week or so. That built up far, far more than we had ever expected this to do. But Kris and I are very proud of these workshops and the help they give to writers who are driven to learn. LAST DAY!!!. A…

The Importance of Rest
Resting is a Critical Part to Any Challenge… Those who have been following this so far, you know I have a mini-challenge of 20 short stories by the end of the month, a major challenge of publishing my age of 67 books in my 67th year, and a major challenge of running in 67 miles of races in my 67th year. I started the writing on the 10th and the exercise on the 11th. When I sat this up, being a long-time athlete, I knew that rest was going to be critical in all three challenges because all three were long-term. So today was my first scheduled rest day. So…

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…

Story Four a Slight Miracle
Well, Not a Miracle, but Some Luck… Why am I calling this luck? Because exhausted from making 10,000 steps and working all day on workshop stuff, I didn’t get to my writing computer until 3:15 a.m. Oh, oh… My Day Went Like This… Managed to do some stuff around here and get out by 2:30 p.m. (Wheeling a garbage can and a recycling can down a steep driveway in 40 mph winds is a joy, let me tell you.) It was Monday, so my CFO duties kicked in and I went to all three of our stores, talked with all three managers, got the deposits, and did all that, including…

Workshop Offer Still Available
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. For exactly one week, until November 16th, you can get two regular workshops and two classic workshops for the price of $500. That is exactly the same as it was offered in the Pulphouse Kickstarter. A fun thing this year… If you would like, you can have us print up a nice-looking gift certificate and put it into a nice envelope, with someone’s name on the certificate, and send it to you to give as a gift for another writer for the holiday.…

Only a Couple of Flickers
At Least So Far… Winds are howling, but not bad for a coast storm. We are getting hit with about 70 mph gusts here. We are used to this. A much, much smaller storm hit the first day of the Master Business Class as people were trying to get here. People who never been in a coast storm found that one to be a worry. That had gusts around 40 and less rain than this one. We have about five or six at this level a year. When they start warning of gusts over a hundred is when we pay attention. (grin) And just to give a summary before I…

Just in Case
I am writing this at 12:15 a.m. I haven’t gotten to my writing computer yet to write a short story tonight. I will shortly. But why this post now is because we are having a little storm, winds over 70 mph here, and some trees still have leaves. Normally this level of storm we wouldn’t even notice, but the first one of the year means we may lose power. So I am putting this here in case I don’t make it back online tonight. (grin) Streak of days blogged got to be maintained you know. With luck I’ll see you in about six hours with a longer, more regular post…

Day Two: Still Flying
A Second Really Fun Day… I worked in the stores (treasure hunting in my own store), did a bunch of work on workshops moving to Teachable, and got my 10,000 steps done, plus a short story. Can’t beat that. Details below. First, I wanted to remind you about the special workshop offer we have going on for the next four days. It ends on the 16th. Here are the basic details of the offer…. For exactly one week, until November 16th, you can get two regular workshops and two classic workshops for the price of $500. That is exactly the same as it was offered in the Kickstarter. A fun…

Off the Ground and Flying
The Challenge Has Started… A fun first day today. I was clearly ready to get going. And interestingly enough, so was WMG Publishing. So on the very first day of the challenger I had a novel published. One of the ones I wrote back in July, but now it is out. You can find the book at https://www.wmgpublishinginc.com/project/death-takes-a-diamond/ It just published today so it might be a little slow getting out to all sites. But that has the links there that are available. 1 down, 66 to go. Short Story Challenge… Here is how my day went… Rolled out around 1 p.m. and by 2:30 p.m. I was at the…
