A Three Story Day!
That Is Right. Three Short Stories in One Day! I needed to have one or two of these to hit the challenge, so still in the running it seems. And all three stories were with my new series character, Sky Tate: The Best Woman Detective in the Business. She owns snark. And damn are the fun to write, exactly what I needed. The Day And the Stories Started off by getting up at 9:30 a.m. and was actually at our diningroom table looking out over Las Vegas by 10:30 a.m., doing email. And by 11 a.m. I started into a story I called “The Story of Jean.” I have decided…

Another Story and Great Bundle
The New StoryBundle Writing Bundle is up.. Every spring Kris puts together this fantastic writing bundle and again this year she topped any previous year. And you get my How To Write a Novel In Five Days While Traveling as well as Heinlein’s Rules lecture. And eight other books. Check it out at StoryBundle.com. I will write more about it in the coming days. The Day Mostly just did a lot of planning on the coming month of moving stuff. I have been in the middle of this move now for over a month now and it is just getting to the massive stage of parts need to fall into…

ANOTHER STORY… ANOTHER SERIES
That’s Right, I Started A New Series Character… I did not mean to. Honest. Just sitting there in a restaurant sipping on an iced tea and eating some sort of chip appetizer while Kris was exercising and out came this character. It is in the same world as my Poker Boy, Ghost of a Chance, and Marble Grant series. Damn I love writing in that world. Can you tell? The Day Kris and I headed out around 11 a.m. to go to the gym where there is an indoor running track where Kris can run. It’s record heat here right now. We are both members of the gym, so while…

Story Seventeen
Rested This Afternoon So the Story Came Easy… Go figure, I took a nap and then watched some television and just rested, so when I did go to doing email and workshop stuff and writing, it all went easier. Wow, shocker. (grin) The Day Started off up real, real early at a little after 9 a.m. to get some stuff done and get to the WMG offices for the two webinars. I had fun on both, although the Space Opera got way off topic for the last thirty minutes. Still fun and good questions. Thanks everyone. Then went to the writer’s lunch in another part of the WMG offices, which…

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.…
