Topic of the Night: My Seven Keys of a Challenge
Topic of the Night: My Seven Keys of A Challenge A number of people have written me and made comments on the blogs about how they like the crazy challenges I come up with. Let me give you, in seven points, my reasoning about any challenge. 1st… I have learned it has to be short term. My memory and attention span is so short that if I try for long-term challenge that can’t be broken down into much shorter challenges, I will stop cold or just forget, which is more likely to happen. 2nd… It has to be something I haven’t done before, or have an element that makes it new.…

A Fun First Day of September
First Day of September Well, we were stunned yet again today when the new Kickstarter Fiction River subscription drive went zooming past its first stretch goal. In just two days. Thank you, everyone, for supporting our wonderful project. It means a lot to us. And now everyone who gets a subscription through Kickstarter will get a free extra volume as our way of saying thanks. Even those supporters getting a subscription when you sign up for a workshop. And speaking of workshops, since we are having a number sign up for the three workshop package, before the Kickstarter is over, Kris and I will set the online workshop schedule for Jan, February,…

Day Spent On Fun Stuff… New Kris Novel
New Kris Novel Well, today I had great fun. We finally launched the new Kickstarter Fiction River subscription drive. And I got my 10,000 steps in just fine. Cooked dinner, took a nap, and did the workshop assignments for the week. Then after a break to watch a little television, I got the wonderful pleasure of reading a brand new Kris novel. Now Kris has a fantastic Diving Universe novel coming out this fall called, if I remember right, The Falls. But the one I just read is from Boss’s viewpoint and Boss is diving the Boneyard. Oh, my… It’s wonderful. Flat wonderful. Sorry to tease all of her Diving fans with…

And the fun project that will start very quickly. I’ll announce it here when it does in the next day or so. But let me say this: I got it all done just a few short minutes ago at 5:30 a.m. Worked from a little after 1 in the afternoon until now. Yeah, a long day. I mentioned this last night but wanted to push it again tonight. I have a book in a really nifty bundle…

Fun Stuff Happening This Week
Fun Stuff Happening This Coming Week Kris finished reading Star Fall: A Seeders Universe Novel and she liked it. She didn’t have many corrections at all, so took me about an hour tonight to run through it and put in her corrections that I agreed with, then got it off to WMG. As I said earlier, the book will be in a bundle in the middle of September. And speaking of bundles, I have a book in a really nifty bundle right now. It’s called “Out of This World Bundle” and it has 16 sf and fantasy novels in it, including one by me and one by Kris and a fantastic…
