5 am…
I’m Up Still Doing Assignments… Typing (if you call it that) with one hand still. Very slow. But the fine folks at PT want me to slowly live a little more each day without the brace. Yay… Progress. And I am back driving. Huge progress… I hope to bring the writing back up as soon as I can type with both hands. Soon. Blogs will get longer when that happens. (grin) And assignments won’t take me until 5 am.

All Special Workshops…
Codes Sent To Everyone… If you thought you were supposed to be in one, first check your spam filter, then if nothing there write Steph at subscriptions@wmgbooks.com and we will get it figured out. Still typing with one hand so here is a cat picture. A young Gavin when we first moved to Vegas after his long car ride.

Still Braced…
Getting Some Exercise… We were scheduled for a 3.8 mile charity run today. Kris and Ron and Lisa Collins and Brigid Collins did the entire thing. I walked to the aid station at 1.2 miles and turned around so managed 2.4 miles of exercise. Beautiful day, fun lunch afterward. Here are some pictures. (These blogs are short since I am still typing one handed,) Kris with her medal… Ron and Lisa finishing. Me hanging up the medal they gave me just for being out there

Questions About Smith’s Monthly…
Is It Coming Back? Answer… I sure hope so. Stopped with #67 last fall when I had the eye issues. Now delayed a bit more with the shoulder injury, but my hope is early next year. Writing comes back up first, then the magazine. Got to get up to at least 70,000 words of fiction a month to fill it. I appreciate the questions about it.

Pulphouse #23…
Published Today!!! Great stories as normal and #23 features a brand new Spade Paladin Conundrum novelette by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. You can grab a copy on the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine store. The store also has all the back issues and also all the Pulphouse anthologies and some really cool merchandise. As for the stories coming in every month from the Kickstarter prompts, thanks for understanding that I have been delayed reading for some strange reason. (grin) I will start reading again shortly. Grab the new issue A good one, but I would say that because as editor I like them all.

First PT Tomorrow…
So Short Blog… Still typing with one hand and hoping tomorrow to get some news on when that can change. And behind a day on a few workshops. Almost caught up. Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. I’ve had a lot of sports injuries over the years, but this was my first broken bones and first surgery. And now my first PT tomorrow. It’s been an adventure. Night…

Michael Bishop
Great Writer and Person… Michael Bishop left us today. It was no surprise since he had been in hospice care since June. I was in the process of writing a blog on writing in many genres, but that can wait. I felt it important to note Michael’s passing. Not a close friend, but a friend of almost 40 years. We worked together on a few projects at Pulphouse Publishing in the late 1980s including a volume of Author’s Choice Monthly. He was one of Kris’s instructors at Clarion, so I knew him that way as well. And, of course, over the years, we had numbers of dinners together. Always fun.…

Glittering Lights Pajama Run…
My Favorite Run Every Year… Through massive holiday lights under and around the Las Vegas Speedway. And hundreds of families in matching pjs. Really cute and a great way to start off the holiday season. Wasn’t sure I could make it this year after the surgery just over a week ago, but I did. I didn’t run, of course. But I walked the mile without problems with a lot of families. Great fun. Here are some pictures. Kris putting on her Santa hat Writers Ron and Brigid Collins Me and my finisher medal. Kind of proud of this one. Kris hanging up her medal
