    WORKSHOP SALE EXTENDED!!!

    Workshops Half Price Until Sunday Evening… This is my fault and I hope it helps some of you. I have three workshops I had intended to move to Classic status before the sale ended, but since it was going to end today, and I wasn’t going to get to moving the workshops to classic until late today, three or four people asked and I just moved the end of the sale back until Sunday evening. The three formally regular workshops that will be classic workshops are Attitude, Secrets, and Publishing 101. So watch for those tomorrow afternoon or evening and grab them for half off. To get anything on WMG…

    Special Workshops

    Two Special Workshop Codes Are Out… Might be the fastest turn of special workshops since the Kickstarter just ended a little over a week ago. But they are all out. So those of you who signed up through the Kickstarter campaign (the only way), you should have the links and codes to get into them. They start today (Tuesday) or May 3rd. Check your spam filters since there are links in the email and that will often drive an email to a spam filter. If you still did not get it, write me and Josh and I will figure out what went wrong. POP-UP free World Building classes from the…

    GREAT AWARD CEREMONY

    Writers of the Future was once again amazing. Jody Lynn Nye was announced as the new corordinating judge of the contest and I was announced as the new editor of Writers of the Future. Yes, you heard that right, I am the new editor and considering I was the first person to ever walk across the stage 38 years ago, I am stunned and honored. I will still be a judge as well. Jody and the rest of the judges (including me) will find the great stories out of all those sent in. Then it will be my job to put the volume together and work with the writers. So…

    At Writers of the Future

    Tomorrow I Put On a Tux… That will be a stunner. And I will have some news when I get home on Saturday. If you follow the live stream of the awards show, you will hear the news. But it will be fun. The group of writers this year is amazing and hungry and actually staying up late to listen and talk and learn. Had a great dinner tonight with Larry Elmore, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and others. Way too much great food. Year #38 tomorrow ends. I was the very first winner across the stage 38 years ago. Just amazing how time flies. So tomorrow a Tux once again. Pictures…

    Watched Bridgerton

    Yes, I Watched a Regency… For the second year in a row. Four episodes in the last two days. Kris had to explain a bunch of stuff to me, but some pretty good acting and the characters were likable, so I’ll watch the third season if there is one. Interesting difference in plotting from this show to others. These episodes were mostly an hour in length and if the characters had only talked, nothing would have happened, but as it was not a lot happens. Where, say, The Rookie fifty things happen, ten viewpoints, and a ton of stuff, and it is only 15 minutes into the episode. When Magnum…
