A couple of things have changed in my life recently, one of which has been the writing of Dead Man’s Party, my demo novel for the writing class I’m currently building, How to Write a Novel.

A LOT of folks bought in the first hour. Far more than I expected. Stripe (our credit card processor) held up under the strain. PayPal single payment processing held up under the strain. Our PayPal subscriptions option, which got hit the heaviest, broke. Payments went through, but so many sub setups were hitting at the same time that that the … Continue reading →

TUESDAY UPDATE: I’m not crazy about where this is going… So I spent a couple hours this morning letting folks who needed to know how to stay in touch.
