Night Off Story. Working On Pulphouse

Worked On Pulphouse Issue Zero…

I was still up at the WMG offices working on Issue Zero of Pulphouse after one a.m. Came home then, watched a little television, and then wrote letters to everyone who backed the Pulphouse Kickstarter with a workshop or lecture. It’s a little after 6 a.m. right now and I just finished that.

Issue Zero should be out by December 1st. It’s looking great. And some amazing stories in it.

ANTHOLOGY WORKSHOP

Folks, if you think you are attending the anthology workshop in late February and are not signed up through me and paid, or are not on the group list, you are almost too late. The first assignment will go out Sunday night (in about 18 hours) over the workshop list.

That’s right, the writing starting in just a few hours.  Once the writing starts, no new sign-ups will be taken. So contact me at once if interested.

Short Story and Novel Challenge

Not mine, the ones you folks are doing and sending me stories. The two-month short story challenge is almost over. I have been reading along, so once it is done, I will be firing back stories at a fast clip. The novel challenge is going to January 15th, so you folks have time. I will start also returning novels I have read and not responded to yet.

Why don’t I respond when I read the story? Simply I don’t want to take any chance of getting in any writer’s head and stopping their writing.

Here is my short story challenge so far since the 10th of the month.

So far, here is the November Short Story Challenge. (10th through 30th.. I will have covers in a few days as well.)

1… Under the Skin of Death… 4,400 words…. Total words so far… 4,400 words.
2… Half a Clue… 3,700 words… Total words so far… 8,100 words
