Story Ten and a Bunch of Workshop Stuff

DAY TEN…

Pretty much did workshops all day except I also had the wonderful pleasure of helping a friend get back into his house after being in the hospital for a month. Sort of made my day, actually, that he is home.

But otherwise, it was workshops, most assignments since March is finishing up and April is getting started. Plus answered more questions about The Great Bundle workshop which has people intrigued, to say the least. (grin)

Also, for those thinking of either trying to come to the Master Business Class or the Anthology Workshop, both Coast workshops, both are almost full.

I did manage a few minutes to get the cover done for “Blind Date,” which Kris said she liked and that I was right, it was the start of a new novel and a new series. A combination spin-off series of Ghost of a Chance series and the Poker Boy series. Yeah, I am that nuts.

But going to have to redo the cover to Blind Date since the title vanishes. Yikes. Tomorrow.

Also tonight I got done with the assignments late because I watched all two hours of The Voice. So about 3:30 a.m. I went to old story starts, grabbed one that I knew would be fairly short and wrote about a thousand words on it to finish the story “Keep Hoping for a New Tomorrow.”

I think I started that story about thirty years ago. Not kidding.

But got story number ten done and moving on. More than one way to keep this challenge going on really nuts days.
