Another Story and Great Bundle

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 place before something else can be done.

And then later in the evening I started a new story, then watched some television with Kris, then came back to the story and finished.

The Story

I sat down, opened up the iPad and decided I wanted to write another story with the character from last night. Great fun, great snark. So I typed in “New Story” in the title, then put under it “A Sky Tate Detective Story” and started writing.

It came out that a woman walked into Sky’s office named Cherry Jones and I had to name the story that instantly.

I wrote about 700 words before talking a break to watch television. Then I came back and without a break wrote from 12:30 a.m until 2 a.m. and finished the story at 2,700 words. Just bubbled right along.

20 stories done, 10 to do in four days. Oh, oh…
