A Crazy First Five Days

Workshop and Mentor Stuff…

It has been a wild and crazy five days for me, both in ramping up the writing and exercise, but mostly in the WMG Publishing side of work. You know, first of the year business stuff. Longest five days I have had in a long, long time.

But now things are smoothing out. And tomorrow I even turn in two book projects to WMG Publishing. One on time, one ahead of time. (They might faint.)

So to get some rest and make tomorrow my best fiction writing day in a long time, I am just going to give you the information I gave out earlier in the week on workshops and a spot still open in the mentoring program.

FOUR THINGS…

First… I have one spot open for anyone interested in having me be a mentor this year. I had one person drop out due to a nasty health issue that does not sound like a good way to start a year. So one spot open. I am just starting to get going with the other two in this program (tomorrow, Sunday, actually). All the details are in the post here.

Second… I have decided to do the challenge again. You can write either three novels in three months or thirty short stories in two months. And I read them (slowly it seems) and you also get $600 credit toward any workshops or lectures you want. Only two signed up so far. You can start on the 15th of January or the 1st of February. Up to you. Full details are posted here.

Third… The second Futures Workshop has started. 

This one is called Opportunity: How to See and Evaluate Opportunities.

Basically Create and Take Advantage of Opportunities.

Two tag lines that fit the same workshop. The first Futures workshop is still available and you can take it at any point and turn in assignments as quickly as you would like to go through it, but you need to have gone through it to take this second one. First one is Future Workshop: Refresh and Renew.

There will be four when we are done, all very important to writers in this new world. You can get them all in a bundle, or if you want a billion workshops, sign up for the Lifetime Workshop Subscription. All of it can be found on Teachable.

Fourth… The January Regular Workshops have started.

Only ten different ones in January now, down from twelve a month this last year.

Again, on Teachable.

Here is the list of the regular workshops. (Note they started on the 1st and 2nd but still time to jump in.)
