Blog postDidn’t Hit It, but Still All Right… My challenge starting in 2022 was to write a short story per day. 365 days.
I knew clear back in November when I finished the 70 Books in my 70th Year and started thinking about this challenge again that I would have trouble with it. And not for most writer’s reasons. I knew I would have trouble keeping track and doing something with all the stories. I thought I had that solved.
Nope.
I wrote 31 stories in January and a story every -
Blog postTime of Great Forgetting and an American Holiday… Got all that. But I guess I am wrong. Two classes I thought we would get a lot of people signing up for, and being excited to take, and no one. Crickets… At least so far.
First off, having Kris talk for almost four hours about writing and the business of writing and surviving in the business for thirty years in the Interview Classes. She talks about ten of her major series over four hours of me asking her questions about the series an -
Blog postThe Interview Videos with Kristine Kathryn Rusch Are Up! The 10 series interviews were a part of the Stretch Goal bonuses in the Kristine Kathryn Rusch Starter Kit Kickstarter Campaign. I was to interview Kris about the ten series that were in the starter kit.
Each interview was going to be separate on Teachable, but Kris and I soon realized that would not be the best, so we still did the ten interviews, but they are now ten different sections of the same class.

Blog postNot Much Done… But All Good Sometimes we all just have days when a ton of things go really well, but because stuff is going so well on so many fronts, you end up with nothing done you really wanted to do.
Yup, had one of those days.
Some business news this morning that won’t pay off quickly, but will be a fantastic windfall later in the winter. Took time, phone calls, and worry to be near the phone all day, but worth it.
Great publishing news from Allyson about some o -
Blog postDoing a Bookbub On Diving into the Wreck. The first book in Kristine Kathryn Rusch DIVING SERIES, Diving into the Wreck is free for a few weeks. Normally it is $5.99, but there is a Bookbub on it and you can get it free for the next week or so.

Blog postTuesday Morning and some through the day… Yes, the site is moving to a new host after that last stupidity. Everything is already moved as I type this, but tomorrow morning all the direction stuff will be switching over.
Site this place might experience a little downtime, but should be short.
And for a short time it will read “Not secure” as things switch over, but it is and will read secure in short order.
After that I will spend a number of days cleaning up stuff tha -
Blog postAll July Workshops Now Available… Both new workshops starting in July are available now. (Both are on the Lifetime Subscription as well.)
Heinlein’s Business Rules Workshop will be far, far more than just going over the five simple rules. It will be how those simple five rules can turn you into a full-time professional fiction writer. They really are a major secret to writing and for the first time, Kris and I are going to give those business rules six full weeks of attention. You wi -
Blog postSo Much Stuff To Keep Track Of… I have been talking this last half year with the challenge about how not being able to keep track of a lot of stories has flat stopped me a number of times. And two days ago I was looking for a Poker Boy story I remember writing, but it was not in my Smith’s Monthly spread sheet and I ended up finding two other Poker Boy stories that I had written and lost in files that had never seen the light of day, but still did not find the story I have a memory of

Blog postTime Off… Shocker… Even two people who never take much time away from writing and publishing, take part of a night off at times.
Dinner in a great restaurant at the Wyn, And we even had deserts. Real shocker.
Then walked around to get some steps before the show, mostly over to the big poker tournament to see how things were looking there.
We had great seats. Mezzanine level, front row. Perfect.
I went in not knowing what to expect, but wow were they funny. Hou -
Blog postStunningly Good! I’m not going to say anything about it in detail, because I don’t want to ruin it for all the fans, but I will just say this: It is amazing and I can hardly wait for her to finish the next one (third one). And now the first novella makes a ton of sense. How she does it is beyond me.
Bunch of stuff coming out this coming week. A new Smith’s Monthly and a new issue of Pulphouse Magazine, among two of them.
And working on a new Pulphouse Magazine Kickstarter sub
