Figuring Out a Stretch Goal
Approaching Next Stretch Goal… The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign has 5 days left and we are nearing the 7th Stretch Goal (amazingly cool!). When we hit that goal, all backers will get the fantastic novel FANTASY LIFE by Kris and another Pop-Up writing class called Freedom Indie Publishing Provides. That is a $150 value. I have promised another stretch goal above the 7th, so I know for the 8th stretch reward it will be another $150 Pop-Up class called Creating Tension in Your Writing. We just have not decided on the next book for that goal. And if we get close to that goal, we will add yet…

Finished Cave Creek Novel
Card Sharp Silver: A Cave Creek Novel This book got sidetracked badly because of Covid this last year. I just sort of put it away for the longest time, then finally brought it back out in November after the election and started dinging at it again, planning to have it done right about now. It’s a short novel at 31,000 words, and now Kris will read it and then it will go to WMG for copyediting, then it will be posted to the Shared World Class. By the way, if you have opted out of emails on Teachable, you are missing a lot of instructions and updates. Emails are how…

Why The Vastness of Space Workshop…
Because It Is Fun To Learn and Use In Fiction… Really is that simple. Problem is, so many writers (and I have read three just lately) who do not know space terms and measurements, or do not know how to fake it, or go around it. And using a term wrong is deadly to a story. The problem is that for almost all humans, understanding real distances in space is just almost impossible. Unless you work on it and are interested in it, your mind will not even pretend to grasp the real distances of space. But this does not mean you can’t write space opera and science fiction. Quite…
