That Man Behind the Curtain: April 2013
This last month saw a victory of sorts: I finally got Mad Scientist Journal up on Amazon. It’s a mixed blessing, as I’ll explain below. Otherwise it’s just another month in the word mines.
That Man Behind the Curtain: March 2013
Time flies when you’re stupid busy. March has been the Bataan death march of deadlines. But the Winter 2013 collection is out with (almost) no hitches. Lets look at some numbers.
That Man Behind the Curtain: February 2013
Hello mad science fans. A very quick and slightly belated post recapping the numbers from last month. I wanted to get the slush from the special call cleared up before posting this, just so I didn’t have to make some comment about “oh, well, these submission numbers aren’t complete because we have a bunch of [...]
That Man Behind the Curtain: January 2013
This is a little delayed as I wanted to use the first of February for posting about our special call for submissions. It’s been a crazy month, with a few more frustrations than we’re used to, but we have soldiered on.
That Man Behind the Curtain: December 2012
Hello. I’m back from a week long whirlwind tour of the Midwest. I fell a little behind on Mad Scientist Journal due to limited access to the Internet. So this is coming a little late and work on the Autumn 2012 collection is also delayed. We have some fun new stuff for this collection, though, [...]
That Man Behind the Curtain: November 2012
National Novel Writing Month has come and gone. I hit my 50k, and now have a hot steaming mess that I don’t know what to do with. Dawn would have also if her laptop hadn’t died at the last minute. The takeaway is that a lot of daily work got missed with Mad Scientist Journal. [...]
That Man Behind the Curtain: October 2012
Another month of the numbers behind the mad science! This month was a little delayed by NaNoWriMo. Sorry!
That Man Behind the Curtain: September 2012
With a story on the first and a new collection to launch as well, I figured I’d wait until today to give the numbers behind the magic.
That Man Behind the Curtain: August 2012
Sorry for the delay. Yesterday was an adventure in health. So you get this the afternoon of the second. This month we get to look at our first full month of ad revenue, the biggest advertising budget to date, and our first collection out for sale. It all comes out a little depressing. Grab your hankies, [...]
That Man Behind the Curtain: July 2012
Hello again! July has been a crazy month between travel and trying to get the book together. Due to a combination of factors, it’s not ready by the end of the month as I’d hoped. But I’m hoping to have it up soon. I’ll also be putting out a call for submissions for our Summer [...]
