Something Special…
SPECIAL STRETCH GOAL We need to reach 170 Backers by Monday night at midnight… If the Six Novellas Kickstarter Campaign reaches 170 backers by Monday night at midnight West Coast Time, every backer of any reward at $25.00 and above will get a free ebook copy of the Kristine Kathryn Rusch novelette A HELPING HAND. And for writers, the full Pop-Up class #21… FEAR OF SUCCESS. This is a $150 value and yes, if not a writer or you have already taken this class, you can gift it to a writer friend. We are also within just a few dollars of hitting the third stretch goal, so help us pass…

UpDates On Stuff…
A Bunch of Projects and Such Updates… Starting off with my reading for Pulphouse. I am solidly into October and November (doing both alternating nights) and so my hoped-for plan to finish by the end of the month is on track. Yay. Sure sorry for the long delay on those stories, but finding some good ones. And yes, my shoulder is slowly getting better each week, with PT beating on me twice a week in a good way. Still limited on my typing time, so fiction writing still slower than I want. But those of you in the challenges might want to build up some distance ahead of me as…

Special Classes Add To Novella Classes…
I Should Have Been Clear On This… The two special workshops in the Six Science Fiction Novellas Kickstarter were designed by Kris to add to the 3-month long Novella Workshops. There will be no real duplications at all. In fact, taking the two Special Workshops in the Kickstarter will add to the three-month-long novella classes. Here is the description from the campaign of the two Special Workshops that you can only get for 7 more days. ——— For the writers who love to write stories and learn the craft and business of writing, we are offering some very, very special treats through this Kickstarter campaign. These will only be offered through…

Special Workshops Links…
All Sent Out… If you signed up for the Kickstarter Bryant Street Special Workshops, all the links have been sent out to you. If you thought you were signed up and didn’t get the letter (after checking your spam), write me. The first sessions will be active on Tuesday.

Went to a Ball Game
Las Vegas Has a Great Ball Park… Modern, minor-league park for the Aviators. Today, our future team, the A’s played an exhibition game there against the Brewers. Stunningly perfect weather, great company with Ron and Lisa and Bridgid. Kris and I had a great time. Looking forward in four years when the new A’s stadium will be done. It will be amazing, typical Vegas. And really looking forward to the new season of the two-time champs Las Vegas Aces firing up. We have season tickets for those games. Picture by Ron Collins of Brigid, Lisa, Kris and me. And by the way, Brigid has a great Kickstarter running right now…

Kris On The Findaway Scam…
A Guest Post… A few weeks or so back, Kris did a post on her patreon page about what happened with Findaway and writers. I linked to it, but now she gave me permission to put it here to help writers understand another level of business. The Fallacy of the Findaway “Victory” Kristine Kathryn Rusch I do not know how to start this piece without using insulting language. I have literally deleted five first paragraphs which use the words “ignorant,” “stupid,” “dumb,” and certain swear words that should not be attached to people and organizations. I can’t write this without using one of those words. Insert the one that offends…

Cheeps…
Might Have Heard Him On a Teaching Video… When a younger cat, he used to go around just making cheeping sounds to himself, thus the name. As he got older, he lost his hearing and the cheeping sounds got very, very loud. And he liked to make sure everyone knew when he arrived at a certain location in the condo. Some of you who have been reading this daily blog long enough remember when I made the run from Lincoln City, Oregon to Sacramento, California and back to rescue him from a hoarding situation. For years he was our indoor feral. Then when we moved to Vegas he started liking…

Anthology Workshop Dates Set…
August 5th through 8th… We thought it would be the middle of July, but typical Las Vegas, too much stuff going on and too expensive. So we have a great room rate and conference room and night meeting room starting on Monday, August 5th and going through noon on Thursday, August 8th. Resorts World. Las Vegas. Going to be so much fun and so much learning. Loren Coleman and I were talking just today about a special Kickstarter anthology session just to give writers a nifty way to make money with friends. One of many fun ides that we could not do back in 2020. I wrote everyone signed up…
