    Why Do We Do Kickstarters?

    I Got That Question Today… The question sort of caught me by surprise, to be honest. First off, surface reasons. 1… It gets new books to readers ahead of the publication date and at a discount. Fans of a series or a writer enjoy that. I know I do, which is one of the reasons why I back so many campaigns. 2… It gets our work out to readers we might never find and they might then buy more of our work. This is called discoverability. 3… It is amazing promotion and advertising and you don’t have to pay for it. In fact, if you do it right, you get…

    Fun Video

    Lessons from the Writing of the Fey… This is a really fun video, and on the BRAND NEW FEY NOVEL Kickstarter for six more days you can get the videos at a discount, or get them through the major workshop we are offering there, or buy the entire group of them on Teachable under Lessons from The Writing of the Fey. Gwyneth and Allyson did this the last day and Kris and I thought it fun. And trust me, those videos Kris did for Lessons from the Writing of the Fey will amaze you if you are a writer or a reader. Really stunning.

    Got Closer to Buffet Challenge

    Took My New iPad to a Buffet… Sort of a test run. Didn’t plan on doing any writing, just mostly setting up a bunch of programs on my iPad, including Microsoft Word and Outlook. Got interesting, to say the least, but 90% there. Only killed the only email I have left twice, but managed to save it both times. Yikes… Even set up a word doc that I can use sort of for a template. And wrote the start of a story. The first line of the story is… “The 1950s called and they want their food back.” Yup, the buffet I was in was that bad. And I like…
