Bummed the Next One Is Two Full Years Away… This was so much fun, as much as I remember them being.

Now I need sleep, a full night’s sleep if possible.

Fantastic Fun!! Even though I only got a few hours sleep. Great stories, great conversations, way too much food. And most of all great people. So wonderful to have the Anthology Workshop back.

They will be released through Kickstarter promotions over the next two years as we rebrand and relaunch Fiction River, all of the previous volumes, all fifty or sixty of them.…

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…

After Three Years… Before my big crash and burn and surgery, we had planned to announce on November 1 that we were starting up the Anthology Workshop again.
