Workshop Order and Breakdown…
Workshop Curriculum 1/1/2021 I went through these back about four months ago, so with the sale going on now, I thought I would do it again so everything is clear. Today’s post is just the workshops and I’m going to divide all of them down into areas of study. And the numbers are my suggestions on the order to take these workshops because many of them build on others. (Two types of workshops are included. Regular and Classic.) All workshops and courses can be found on Teachable. Just hit “see all courses.” To get them at half price, just use the code Resolution Pop-Ups and others will be listed later.…

Half Price Workshop Sale In Case You Missed It..
Yes, We Are Doing It Again… I talked about this in full the day after Christmas, because Covid is just as bad, if not worse, than earlier. So we are going to do one more sale of everything on WMG Publishing’s Teachable. And we really, really hope never again. 2020 will be over and with it we hope these sales. We want us all to get through this virus and go back to at least a new normal as soon as possible. But, we are not there yet and there are dark months ahead of us in the first of the new year. And WMG Publishing wants to help you…

Collection Classes Now Available
They Are Now Available to Get with the Workshop Sale… Here is the structure of each class in general. A nine week class. (Yes, I said nine weeks.) And each week will have five videos and an assignment. The goal at the end is to have written five new stories with a certain base theme and published a five story collection. Week #1… General stuff about collections and the topic of the class and how to do titles. Assignment would be to come up with a number of possible titles and tag lines for your collection that you will be working toward. Week #2 through Week #6… Videos about the…

Year End Half Price Workshop Sale
Covid in Getting Worse… I honestly never would have predicted this last spring. Not in a million years. But at least now we have some hope on the horizon with the vaccines going out. But they won’t do much good especially over the coming months. Back when WMG Publishing did what we all thought here would be the last workshop sale in May, we had an expectation that as things opened up, we would all be able to slowly go back to a changed, but new normal life. And that sort of happened for some. Sort of. But by July it was clear that most of us were still locked…

Happy Holidays
Stay Safe… I sure hope everyone is having a safe holiday. It might not be the best one in your memory because you are not seeing family up close, but only online. But at least you know if you are staying home and being safe, you won’t spend the next month or two with your family being in an overcrowded hospital. And that, honestly, is the best gift you can give them this year. And even though Fremont Street will be jammed with idiots on New Year’s Eve, maybe in one of the biggest super spreader events in our area (most will be here from the super-infected California), there was…

Why I Do Smith’s Monthly?
Bringing Smith’s Monthly Back with Issue #45… What is Smith’s Monthly? Simple. It is a regular 70,000 word magazine with only my work in it. It has a novel, four or five short stories, and often part of a non-fiction book or a serial of another novel. Monthly. I did 44 straight months of the magazine (three and a half years) before life rolls got in the way, things like Kris getting sick and moves to Vegas and so on. I put the magazine on pause, knowing the time would come when I would be back doing it. And this is that time, finally. So with Issue #45, January 2021,…

Making a Living With Short Fiction 2021
Back By Popular Demand… Actually, I am bringing this forward from 2014 and then May 2016 and then again July 2018. It is mostly unchanged. I will put in BOLD ALL-CAP ITALICS when I have changed something. A note: I used to say it was possible to make a living writing novels in traditional publishing. I made a great living in traditional with novels for 15 years. That is no longer the case for novels for all but a tiny few in traditional publishing in 2021, but novels indie published you can make good money. ———— Can You Make a Living Writing Only Short Fiction? Every year or so I…

A Covid Day…
Kris and I Had An Anniversary Today… We were married 28 years ago on December 20th on the top of a hill in the middle of a tree farm we owned surrounded by small trees and great friends. We had already been a couple for almost seven years at that point. I remember it as a fun day since we went back to our house in the mountains outside of Eugene with all the friends and had a great dinner. At that point in time Pulphouse Publishing Inc. had become a shadow of itself, I was still editing the first Pulphouse Magazine and Kris was the editor of The Magazine…
