So That Makes Eight Short Stories in Three Days! 28 stories done in April, two more to go with one day left. In sight. And that was with doing two webinars this morning and early afternoon here, and going for a nice dinner with Kris at the Golden Nugget and looking at the rooms where the workshops will be. Can you say stunning? Up a beautiful staircase directly across the street from a parking garage. On the other side of a glass wall on one side of the staircase is the pool. There are four restaurants within fifty feet of that staircase and a Starbucks. No where near a casino…

So That Makes Five Short Stories in Two Days! 25 stories done in April, 5 to go with 2 days left. Uphill, but I am having fun, so that is all that matters. And both stories again today were my new character Sky Tate. These are all stand-alone stories, not chapters. And if I hit this challenge, you will be able to read them along with these blogs in the book, just like Stories from July. The Day And the Stories Started off by getting up at 9:30 a.m. and was actually at our dining room table looking out over Las Vegas by 10:30 a.m., doing email. Second day in…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
