Special Workshops Links…
All Sent Out… If you signed up for the Kickstarter Bryant Street Special Workshops, all the links have been sent out to you. If you thought you were signed up and didn’t get the letter (after checking your spam), write me. The first sessions will be active on Tuesday. Novella Workshops are selling out on the WMG Writer Store. Those are going to be really special. Don’t miss these. Plus since the Writer Store still says there is a 50% sale on Teachable up there on the Writer Store, I will honor it for another day. 50 % off anything on Teachable, including the lifetime subscriptions. And there is new…

Went to a Ball Game
Las Vegas Has a Great Ball Park… Modern, minor-league park for the Aviators. Today, our future team, the A’s played an exhibition game there against the Brewers. Stunningly perfect weather, great company with Ron and Lisa and Bridgid. Kris and I had a great time. Looking forward in four years when the new A’s stadium will be done. It will be amazing, typical Vegas. And really looking forward to the new season of the two-time champs Las Vegas Aces firing up. We have season tickets for those games. Picture by Ron Collins of Brigid, Lisa, Kris and me. And by the way, Brigid has a great Kickstarter running right now…

Kris On The Findaway Scam…
A Guest Post… A few weeks or so back, Kris did a post on her patreon page about what happened with Findaway and writers. I linked to it, but now she gave me permission to put it here to help writers understand another level of business. The Fallacy of the Findaway “Victory” Kristine Kathryn Rusch I do not know how to start this piece without using insulting language. I have literally deleted five first paragraphs which use the words “ignorant,” “stupid,” “dumb,” and certain swear words that should not be attached to people and organizations. I can’t write this without using one of those words. Insert the one that offends…

Cheeps…
Might Have Heard Him On a Teaching Video… When a younger cat, he used to go around just making cheeping sounds to himself, thus the name. As he got older, he lost his hearing and the cheeping sounds got very, very loud. And he liked to make sure everyone knew when he arrived at a certain location in the condo. Some of you who have been reading this daily blog long enough remember when I made the run from Lincoln City, Oregon to Sacramento, California and back to rescue him from a hoarding situation. For years he was our indoor feral. Then when we moved to Vegas he started liking…

Anthology Workshop Dates Set…
August 5th through 8th… We thought it would be the middle of July, but typical Las Vegas, too much stuff going on and too expensive. So we have a great room rate and conference room and night meeting room starting on Monday, August 5th and going through noon on Thursday, August 8th. Resorts World. Las Vegas. Going to be so much fun and so much learning. Loren Coleman and I were talking just today about a special Kickstarter anthology session just to give writers a nifty way to make money with friends. One of many fun ides that we could not do back in 2020. I wrote everyone signed up…

Updates On A Bunch of Stuff…
Writing Challenge, My Reading, and More Things… First off, I posted my word count to the right and will do so each month so those of you in the challenge with me can see how I am doing. Basically gaining speed is the answer to that. As each week goes by I can type a little longer without my arm cramping up and me needing an ice pack. I did manage last month to turn into WMG six projects, so a good month on that level. And I did more words by a ways than January. So with luck I will keep ramping up and be back to full speed…

The Fndaway Stupidity…
Kris Took The Time To Really Explain What Happened… It is on her Patreon page, but she made it open to the public at my request. https://www.patreon.com/posts/fallacy-of-99566685 Kris and I for decades now have pushed writers to really understand business. What Findaway did was clear and obvious to anyone who understands business and negotiations. Sadly most writers thought this was a victory as they were being played. Read Kris’s post and then start the process of learning business and basic negotiations. And get out of Findaway at once.
