The Day Just Went Away… I Think…
Ever Have One of Those Days?… I am not at all clear on exactly what happened today. I just sort of blinked twice and I was sitting watching television with Kris at 1 a.m. So as Best I Can Remember, My Day Went Like This… Started off up at the WMG offices at around 2 p.m. to unload my car from yesterday. Worked on some stuff there and made it to the bank by 4 and then to the South stores. Left there and headed to get some lunch and go back to my office after 5 p.m. I ended up getting my exercise today (only got 8,000 steps, but…

A Big Move, Then Picking and Writing
I Had a Fun Day Today… I got eight hours sleep last night and tonight actually made it to the writing chair by 1 a.m. Wow, getting that starting time back where it belongs. My Day Went Like This… Started off up at the WMG offices at 1:30 p.m. Josh and Cameron were there and we set out to move an office from one side of the large building to another. Thankfully, Josh and Deena the day before had got a head start, and Cameron that morning had done a bunch as well. Thanks, guys!! So we got it 95% moved and then moved another office about twenty feet from…

Last Day for Workshop Offer!
Almost Done… The offer is below the list of workshops. I wanted to post them here again tonight in no particular order except that the Depth should be first. Below that are the Classic Workshops available at the moment, then the special offer. I am amazed we have 19 Regular Workshops and 6 Strengths Workshops and 9 Classic Workshops, with more Classic coming on line over the next week or so. That built up far, far more than we had ever expected this to do. But Kris and I are very proud of these workshops and the help they give to writers who are driven to learn. LAST DAY!!!. A…

Got Story Five Done by 6 A.M.
It Seems Being Exhausted Helps… I got to the story this morning at 3:30 a.m. Far, far, too late. But… My Day Went Like This… Just trust me, there was no stopping except for one nap, cook dinner, and watch one hour of The Voice. The rest of the day was going from 2 p.m. until now, 6:30 a.m. And yes, I got my 10,000 steps. I sat down at 3:30 and looked at my half-title sheet and decided the first thing I looked at I would go with, so that was “Under Glass.” And I would do a Cold Poker Gang mystery, since I have those characters in my…

Workshop Offer Still Available
At least for four more days… I wanted to repeat this here to make sure everyone has a chance at this if you want workshops coming up. For exactly one week, until November 16th, you can get two regular workshops and two classic workshops for the price of $500. That is exactly the same as it was offered in the Pulphouse Kickstarter. A fun thing this year… If you would like, you can have us print up a nice-looking gift certificate and put it into a nice envelope, with someone’s name on the certificate, and send it to you to give as a gift for another writer for the holiday.…

Only a Couple of Flickers
At Least So Far… Winds are howling, but not bad for a coast storm. We are getting hit with about 70 mph gusts here. We are used to this. A much, much smaller storm hit the first day of the Master Business Class as people were trying to get here. People who never been in a coast storm found that one to be a worry. That had gusts around 40 and less rain than this one. We have about five or six at this level a year. When they start warning of gusts over a hundred is when we pay attention. (grin) And just to give a summary before I…

Day Two: Still Flying
A Second Really Fun Day… I worked in the stores (treasure hunting in my own store), did a bunch of work on workshops moving to Teachable, and got my 10,000 steps done, plus a short story. Can’t beat that. Details below. First, I wanted to remind you about the special workshop offer we have going on for the next four days. It ends on the 16th. Here are the basic details of the offer…. For exactly one week, until November 16th, you can get two regular workshops and two classic workshops for the price of $500. That is exactly the same as it was offered in the Kickstarter. A fun…

Starting Challenge Tomorrow
I Am Excited… It has been a while since I have been this excited about a challenge. And focused on it, which I will need to be over an entire year. Writing/publishing my age. 67 books. This just may be one of the crazier things I have ever tried. I figured out that to do this I will need to write just about 1.2 million words of new and original fiction. Over Pulp Speed Two, basically, for the entire year. For those of you with math issues, that is over 3,250 words per day without missing a day, 365 days a year. Well, I will miss, but luckily I will…
