I Am An Easy Touch…
Cats Stick With Me At Night… Kris goes to bed early because she likes to get up early and run when it is not so hot outside. I stay up and write and work on other things like workshops and such until around 5 am. So after Kris heads off to bed, our two cats stick with me in my office. Usually the white kitten (Angel) is asleep on a box under my business computer. And Gavin (old orange guy) sleeps in a cat bed we have for him under the window in my office, between my writing chair and the window. So tonight I am tired, but figured I…

Quick Post On AI Writing and Copyright…
Got Three Letters… All three explained to me (I did not take then as condescending, but they were…) that I did not understand how the copyright office is having issues on how much human touch needs to be done to make a piece of AI art or writing able to be protected by copyright and thus owned as a property. Basic rule of copyright… It must be human created. Is a 10% change enough of an AI output? No. How about an 80% change? Is that enough to have it deemed human created? (We won’t talk about the minimum requirement of originality because that is just mostly moot.) So yes,…

AI in Writing and Art…
I Messed Up Last Night… On my Friday night listing of some Kickstarters I thought were good, I didn’t notice that one of them had used AI art. (It has been removed.) Let me be very clear here now. AI art and AI writing was trained by wholesale copyright theft. For one company alone, I had over 200 titles stolen to help them train their stupidity. That company just settled for 1.6 billion on a class action suit and will more than likely be going out of business. AI art was trained by wholesale theft as well and there are a ton of lawsuits pending. Some good artists friends had…

Kickstarter Friday
A Number of Fiction Kickstarters Every Friday… I only list the campaigns I like and that I think would be worth studying for writers thinking of doing a campaign. Send me your live campaign if you want me to consider listing it here. If you want me to look at your campaign before you launch, I will be glad to. Just send the preview to me. And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 55 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days of Kickstarter. But if yoyu are going to…

Lifetime Subscription Deal Deadline Monday Night…
GOING TO MENTION THIS SALE ONE LAST TIME… Oterhwise I would have talked tonight about the Ace’s game against LA… Wow, 16 wins in a row. The Aces just went off on poor LA. Playoffs start on Sunday. So anyway, back to the sale topic, a week or so ago, Kris asked, “Have you ever offered the Lifetime Everything Subscribers on Teachable a deal to get the one also on the store?” Uhhh, no…. Oops…. So some information about both… Some Classes On the Store… Most everything that takes a webinar, since Teachable can not handle a webinar recorded. Too large. — So 27 weeks of Writer’s Block Freedom is…

LAST DAY OF THRILLER KICKSTARTER…
END AT 7 PM TONIGHT… It is doing great. Really going to be fun to have those four novels back out with new and better covers. So much fun for me. And there are other books in this campaign, and cool mugs, and some limited books. (I already have the four mugs headed my way.) Wow does this Kickstarter campaign have two great workshops. We have never done a multiple viewpoint workshop before and as we got looking at it realized that the techniques to do multiple viewpoints correctly take a lot of learning and practice. Same with using Thriller Techniques in regular novels to make your regular novels more…

Still Time to Get Lifetime Subscription Deal
The Other Day Kris Asked Me A Good Question… We were talking while getting lunch and I mentioned that the Lifetime Everything Subscription on the WMG Writers Store needed to be bumped to $5,000 as we intended to do last spring, but honestly forgot, leaving it a $3,500. More and more stuff there now and we are planning even more. Kris asked, “Have you ever offered the Lifetime Everything Subscribers on Teachable a deal to get the one also on the store?” Uhhh, no…. Oops…. So some information about both… Some Classes On the Store… Most everything that takes a webinar, since Teachable can not handle a webinar recorded. Too…

Sports Weekend
Actually A Long Weekend.. Started off Thursday evening with an Aces’s game against the #1 Lynx. Aces are #2 and we’re on a 12 game winning streak. Kris and I have season tickets and after a horrid start to this year, this team is wonderful to watch. A’ja Wilson really is the best player in the league. The Aces won over the Lynx and it was a great game. Both teams played like they were in the championship, which more than likely both will be. Then Saturday the UNLV Rebels took on UCLA in football and they won. I don’t go in person to those games, but Allegent was packed.…
