Workshops Available in Holiday Spectacular Kickstarter
There Are A Bunch of Workshops… And All Get You the Calendar!! We have two special workshops for writers in this campaign. And the only place you will ever be able to get either one is right here. You can buy either one or you can buy them both together at a discount. No matter what you will also get the 2021 Holiday Calendar with 38 stories delivered to you daily. Both workshops are three weeks long, and the final week’s assignment for both workshops will be to write a short story that Kris will read for the 2022 Holiday Spectacular. We will offer both workshops twice. You have your choice of…

Some Clean Up… And Writing Stuff
Special Workshop Codes Are Out… First, if you signed up for a special workshop in the last Kickstarter, either Making Place a Character or How to Use the Rule of Three, the links and codes are out. If you were signed up for one or both of those workshops, and didn’t get a letter from me with the Subject Line “Special Workshop” (or Workshops), please check your spam filter over the next day or so. If not there, no worries, we have time. Write me and I will get you the codes when I get back later in the week. Second, refunds on the Diving Game are slow, and I…

Might Make Stretch Goal #7!
Getting Close!! Stretch Goal #7 not only has a free copy of a great Fiction River anthology for everyone, but it also has a Pop-Up Class for writers that a number of writers have written me about. Spade/Paladin Kickstarter Pop-Up: Stamina and Strategies to Write a Lot. You wouldn’t think there would be a lot to learn about that, but this idea for a Pop-Up came about one afternoon as Kris and I were headed somewhere and we got talking about writing a lot and how we both do certain things that allow us to not only write a lot each day on a bunch of projects, but keep it…

Kickstarter Ends Thursday
Don’t Miss This One… It has already funded and hit five stretch goals. Check it out at… Spade/Paladin Kickstarter Campaign. And remember there are two special workshops in this one that are going to be great. How to Make Place a Character in Your Story and also The Rule of Three and How to Use It. So many people write me wanting to get into these special workshops after the campaign is over and we just don’t allow it. Only way into these is through this campaign and there is only three days left!! Both workshops are three weeks and you can take them either starting October 26th or November…

So Close to Stretch Goal…
Maybe We’ll Hit it By Morning… On the Spade/Paladin Kickstarter campaign, we are almost to the last stretch goal we had posted when we started. But no fear, Kris and I tomorrow (Friday) will post two more. We’re just trying to decide what to post. So right now I am having ups and downs on the computer connection again, so going to get this up quickly. Back tomorrow with the new stretch goals even if we don’t hit it tonight. UPDATE: Told this didn’t actually show up until this morning… So kind of a silly post since we did hit the stretch goal and I will be back shortly with…

Coming Up With New Stretch Awards
Not An Easy Task… The Spade/Paladin Kickstarter Campaign is about $2,000 away from the top stretch goal we have listed, which includes a Pop-Up class called Automatic Depth. So Kris and I have been working to come up with one or two more stretch goals since there is still nine days left on the campaign. Now not complaining at all. The fact that we are needing to do this is very, very cool. So we will be listing some more books for readers and Pop-Up classes for writers in brand new stretch rewards on Wednesday or Thursday. So if you have any ideas of a Pop-Up you would really love…

Another Quick No Topic Post
Some Close Calls… Internet and web site seemed to be having a night. Trying to decide which will stay up and for how long. Some sort of game they are playing I’m sure. I have been putting Pulphouse Fiction Magazine anthologies together and luckily haven’t needed either. Then noticed the fun they were having and thought I had better stop and write something here to keep my blogging streak alive. 3,327 days without missing a blog. So if this posts, the streak is alive. And make sure you check out the Spade/Paladin Kickstarter campaign. Almost to the 4th stretch goal and another Pop-Up class. Fun.

The Rule of Three
Most Writers Don’t Understand It or Use It… Today, at lunch, Kris and I were talking about a ton of ideas we have for Pop-Up classes we wanted to do for the Spade/Paladin Kickstarter we will launch next week. We like giving writers Pop-Up classes in the stretch goals if the campaign hits a certain amount. And we liked them to sort of match the genre of the campaign, which this time is mystery. We decided and laid out some really good Pop-Ups. For example, a Pop-Up titled HOW TO GET AUTOMATIC DEPTH. Yes, there are ways to do that. Honest. And they are fun and it is perfect size…

COUNTING DOWN…
40 Hours Left As I Write This!! As I said last night, this Pulphouse Kickstarter campaign is turning out to be great for both writers and readers. For writers, there are two special three week workshops that you can only get through this campaign, and in 60 hours or so, we will never offer those workshops again. They are HOW TO WRITE A PULPHOUSE STORY and HOW TO MONETIZE SHORT FICTION. They are $150 each and you will have a story assignment for the last assignment in each. Or you can get both for $250. You can take them starting September 7th or October 5th. Your choice. You also get…
