Card Sharp Silver
Not Counting This As a Day of Writing… But I did work on Card Sharp Silver: A Cave Creek Novel, but just didn’t make enough forward progress to count it, either in time or words. But I did get back on it and cycled back to get it in my head again, got to where I had left off and went, “Damn, this is fun.” No clue where I am going from there, but I typed some and got moving forward again. Felt great! Not really stuck, it has just been a week or so to believe with all the business work. I have about five stories left to get…

Almost Hitting A Second Stretch Goal
The Writing Bundle Kickstarter Campaign… It’s doing really well and has got a lot of great deals for writers. Usually we balance out campaigns with a focus on a fiction project with some workshop deals. But this one is all focused on helping writers learn writing. Five Writing Bundle Books are the core. Take a look. But we are about to hit our second stretch goal and we have come up with some really amazing stretch rewards. Worth a lot, actually. So here they are… Stretch Goal #1…$3,000 We have hit this one and everyone supporting the project gets an electronic copy of THE FREELANCER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE by Kristine Kathryn…

One More Day
Decided to Rest One More Day… Don’t worry, not sick or anything, just trying to take some time away from my normal 14 hour days of going all the time. Kind of had a hunch I needed to do that when I started falling asleep every time I sat down. But still today I ended up recorded a bunch of videos for the Short Story Study Along and answered a bunch of email and even read a few short stories. And got most of my steps in as well. So a slow day for me that would be a very busy day for many others. Still, I feel rested. So…

Kickstarter Extended!!
Now We Have Eight Days Left!!! We could use the help passing the word on this to hit the next stretch goal where all backers get another free book, plus a lecture of their choice worth $50. And the stretch goal beyond that gets yet another free book to read plus writers a $150 workshop. This campaign got caught, as many of us did, in this virus shutdown. But Kickstarter has done something they never do and allowed us to extend the campaign from its set end date. Fantastic support from Kickstarter on this. So if you haven’t given this campaign a look yet, you have no idea what book…

Something Fun…
For Cave Creek Kickstarter Backers… I have decided to give all the backers of the Cave Creek a short story or two. As a way of saying thanks for the support in the Kickstarter. First one will go out later this week. “If Twilight Zone had a home town, it would be Cave Creek.” That’s how we are describing Cave Creek, and I have those writers in the Shared Worlds Class (still open to sign up) going and getting up to speed on the early Twilight Zone episodes. Because they are all going to be writing Cave Creek stories if they want. So I figured I would give the supporters…

Wow, this is a fun project. We have a gift card reward now, something that is limited and collectable and you can get all three anthologies on. And we added in retail discounts as well. And wow, are we giving away a lot of workshop stuff if this thing takes off. So pass the word and join the Shared Worlds class if you want to be a part of this. But first take…

Two Hours Left!!
We Hit the 4th Stretch Goal!!! Thank you, everyone!!! So that means that anyone supporting this really fun Kickstarter project gets not only five extra books, but a choice of any of our lectures $50 value and a choice of any of our $150 Classic Workshops. Pretty cool, huh??? So still a few hours time left to grab some great reading. And get a lecture and Classic Workshop on your Teachable dashboard. But only two hours as I write this at 11 in the morning. Thanks again. Kris and I are really excited to put these twelve cat anthologies together. 100 cat stories. Going to be a blast. Year of…

Just Hit Third Stretch Goal!!
Working On the Fourth… So all supporters now, for sure, get a lecture of their choice for supporting our Year of the Cat Kickstarter. That’s worth $50.00. And you can help us get to the next stretch goal in the next 65 hours and get not only more books, but a choice of Classic Workshop worth $150. And remember, I just moved about eight workshops to classic status a few months ago. So below is the update I just posted to the Kickstarter. I hope you will help us hit that next stretch goal. Thanks!! And the nifty video Gwyneth did about finding Ruby, the cat character in the third…

Just Three Days Left
On Year of the Cat Kickstarter… And we are gaining on the third stretch goal, which will have a free lecture included, and I think there is time we could hit the next stretch goal as well with a free Classic Workshop. But we need help. Pass the word, grab a discounted workshop, don’t forget the Kickstarter only How to Write a Cat Story Workshop, or the nifty study of all 100 stories over a year class. You can get books, subscriptions to magazines, lectures, all kinds of discounted stuff and help us get this crazy and really fun project off the ground. We have already hit two stretch goals…

Year of the Cat Covers
Wow, Are These Cool!!! I wanted to show you these twelve covers. And we are headed toward the second stretch goal with just over a week left on the Year of the Cat Kickstarter campaign. (Thank you, everyone!!) Now, please help pass the word so we can get up to those stretch goals with lectures and workshops involved. And get these twelve anthologies, one per month. And also, on Teachable, every month, I will be doing a Year of the Cat Class for a full year, talking about each story in each anthology and why that story worked and the writing techniques the writer used to make it work. A…
