And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 55 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days of Kickstarter. But if yoyu are going to…

    LAST DAY OF THRILLER KICKSTARTER…

    END AT 7 PM TONIGHT… It is doing great. Really going to be fun to have those four novels back out with new and better covers. So much fun for me. And there are other books in this campaign, and cool mugs, and some limited books. (I already have the four mugs headed my way.) Wow does this Kickstarter campaign have two great workshops. We have never done a multiple viewpoint workshop before and as we got looking at it realized that the techniques to do multiple viewpoints correctly take a lot of learning and practice. Same with using Thriller Techniques in regular novels to make your regular novels more…

    Sports Weekend

    Actually A Long Weekend.. Started off Thursday evening with an Aces’s game against the #1 Lynx. Aces are #2 and we’re on a 12 game winning streak. Kris and I have season tickets and after a horrid start to this year, this team is wonderful to watch. A’ja Wilson really is the best player in the league. The Aces won over the Lynx and it was a great game. Both teams played like they were in the championship, which more than likely both will be. Then Saturday the UNLV Rebels took on UCLA in football and they won. I don’t go in person to those games, but Allegent was packed.…

    My Challenge

    Four Months Left… My challenge had two parts. First, the idea was to write a short story per day for the entire year. Second, to get my writing back up to over Pulp Speed One, which is one million words a year. The year started off rough right from the start, with a ton of business things that just overwhelmed everything. Called a life roll, and I sort of expected it but hoped I could drive through it. Nope. It was just too much. But my word count has been hanging around the pace to make one million words, so that part I think I can smash through in the…
