A Planned Miss
I Has Been Hoping… I had on my schedule a planned miss tonight, knowing there would be too much to do and I would be too tired since the Fantasy workshop ended today here at the coast. But since I have had two unplanned misses, I had been hoping to actually be able to do a story tonight. Nope. The planning was accurate. So now I have five missed days and nine days to do 14 stories. Well, that will be fun. (grin) Not at all impossible, but certainly interesting. So going to keep this short tonight since I have webinars to have fun with tomorrow morning. ————– IF YOU…

Digging the Hole Deeper
Just Decided to Take the Night Off… I decided that because I am getting up silly early tomorrow morning to help with some stuff on this move we are doing, (in essence, help get a place ready to move stuff into from here) I would take the night off. And get a full night’s sleep for the first time in a while. Go figure. So no story. And I have some assignments I have not gotten to and some email I will try to work on tomorrow afternoon and evening, as things finally settle back out here after a wild and crazy ten days. Sorry for the delay on that.…

Another Miss… Down Three
Not Going Like Other Challenges… I had expected this challenge this month to be nuts to even try, but I knew if I didn’t push, I wouldn’t write a word the entire month and then wonder what happened. Yeah, we have all had those sort of months, huh? (grin) So I planned on having two misses along the way and then writing two stories a day for a couple days toward the end to get back on target. Still planning to do that, but now it needs to be three. Normally my challenges are all a story a day through the entire month. I knew this one wouldn’t be like…

Story Fourteen and Cats
Another Fun Day… I didn’t get much packing in today because of meetings and the workshop going on here and so on. But I did spend a bunch of time clearing out a ton of things that could be tossed away. It was garbage day and recycling day and I found a bunch of stuff. So that was sort of moving today. The Day Got up around eleven and made it to WMG around 1 p.m. to help get the Fantasy Workshop started. Then meetings on the topic of the next blog. Then I did the stores and banking running around, then back to work in my office and eat…

Skip Second Day… Not Worried
Another Long and Fun Day… I didn’t even think about moving over to the writing computer to write tonight. Started off this morning with movers helping me move stuff from first the offices, then this house, then from the bookstore. A massive move-around that needed to be done to stage the next step in this move. Many hours and physically draining, even though they were doing most of the lifting. Remember, this challenge is to write 30 stories in 30 days while moving. Today was not only the start of the Fantasy workshop here at the coast, but a massive moving day. So no thought of writing tonight. Not even…

Eleven and Going Strong
I Am Going To Be Doing Packing Soon… I just need to have a day when I am not going from morning until night at work. But had fun today setting up webinar settings and making sure everything would work on my end. I think it’s going to be really cool. We shall see on Sunday. So we have a meeting format set up for Kris and the workshop and we have a webinar set up for the Sunday webinars. I want to thank Josh Frase a ton. He is my managing editor at Pulphouse and our web guy for all our web sites. He is a miracle worker, actually.…

Writing Can Be Stupid
Story Nine Done, But What A Pain… Today, without a doubt, might have been the busiest day I have had in a long, long time. And I expected it to be honest. After tomorrow, things calm down amazingly for me and I can actually get to more packing. But today was nonstop from the time I got up until the time I sat down to write. About 13 straight hours. So what do I do? Do I write a simple 2,000 word story and go to bed? Nope, 4,400 words later I have a Thunder Mountain story and it is way late for my new schedule. Now that’s just silly……

Eight In Eight Days
Still Going Along Strong… The next few days with all the workshop stuff will be an interesting challenge, then after that things smooth out and I will have time to get to not only more writing, but packing. Not much of that the last few days, other than I have managed to get stuff out of this house every day. That’s something. Onward. The Day Got up around 10:30 a.m. mostly not able to sleep any longer after only five hours. Couldn’t shut off the brain. Then I headed to WMG offices to work on Pulphouse. I did that until the writer’s lunch, which was great fun today. A bunch…

Story Seven and Moving
One Week, Seven Stories… Pretty happy to have gotten through the first hard area of this challenge. Between story #4 and #7 it feels like I had reached the first third of a novel. You know, everything is shit, what’s the point in going forward place we all hit. Difference in a professional writer and an early writer is professionals power through, early writers give up on the book. Well, I am a professional writer and I got through that part. So now the next few days will be a challenge with just a ton of stuff to do outside of writing. After that, I see smoother sailing I hope.…

Something New Tonight
Surprised Me… I got a decent night’s sleep, did a ton of work until almost 10:30 p.m. at WMG, came home, did some email, took a nap, felt great, ready to write, started the story at midnight and was done by 1 a.m. Go figure. The Day Got up around 11 a.m.. Then did a little email, packed some boxes, fed the feral cat outside who wanted to be toweled down (because it was raining) like Kris used to do to him. Yes, he is feral, but Kris talked him into letting her do that much if food was there. He usually runs from me, but he has figured out…
