Been Writing…
And My Arm is Sore… So not any time or desire to write any thing tonight. Tomorrow… But I really want to get this story done that so far has turned into two novels. So we shall see. But now I have kept the blogging streak alive. It is just a streak of blogging. Didn’t say the blog had to be about anything. Call this a Seinfeld blog.

Blogging and Bill…
August 21st, 2011… My close friend, Bill Trojan, book dealer, died suddenly on the last day of the World Science Fiction Convention in Reno. I spent most of the next year working on his estate, which was why I ended up losing the vision in one eye. But I made a promise to Bill to honor what he had spent his life doing, and that was collecting. (Bill was a hoarder, but it is commonly known that you are not a hoarder when you collect books, comics, stamps, coins, art, and very high-priced pulp magazines, even when there is nothing more than a path in your three-bedroom home and in…

A Streak Still Holding
Day 2,860… That’s how many days it has been since I missed writing something here on this blog. August 1st, 2012 I started. And the reason I counted this tonight is because I have a Kickstarter campaign I will announce here tomorrow afternoon, but needed to keep my streak alive here tonight. So write about the streak. Duh… I suppose I should also tell you that June Regular workshops are starting today and tomorrow. And those of you signed up for the June session of Creative Nonfiction Writing workshop from the last Kickstarter, it also started today. (Only could get it in the Kickstarter.) And the June Historical Fiction special…

Sometimes Just Fun
Keeping the Blog Streak Alive… Something like day 2,626 of blogs without a miss. So tonight, since I have been reading stories and such, I felt too tired to write much or post another chapter in the Trademark book, so figured I would just show you one of the covers from my Make 100 Paperbacks. Working my way right through them and having fun. So here is a new short story cover from issue three of Smith’s Monthly. Cover is front, back, and spine. I used the same art that was in the issue originally for the story. 5 x 8 inch trim. This one is the first story of…

Got Really Late
Of course, in the old days in Lincoln City, this would be early… But now it is late and the blog I wanted to write doesn’t have enough time or brain power to happen. So another night. Right now I guess I just need to post this because I have to keep up my challenge of doing a blog per day. But I did get a couple thousand words done on a short story today, so the writing is coming back and considering the day, that is a total win. And don’t forget the Pop-Up about doing your own bookstore is now live and will be for less than two…
