LAST DAY OF LAST SALE!!
Three Classic Workshops Added… Three more tomorrow afternoon, before the sale ends. The three new classic workshops that are now available are: — Covers101 — Heinlein’s Rules — Speed in Writing All three were regular workshops, now are classic. They are exactly the same, six weeks of videos, only as classic you do not turn in the assignments. And I was stunned tonight to discover there are 44 classic workshops. Wow, that’s a lot of videos. (grin) And tomorrow, if I am not totaled by the run, I will try to add the classic workshops Short Stories, Writing Sales Copy, and Media Kits before the sale ends. Everything is on…

Workshops Not Ending… Only the Sales
Thank you for the kind words, everyone… But a lot of you are making it sound as if the workshops are going away. Nope, just the sales, and I do understand that will limit a number of you going forward. Just nothing we can do if we want to get these out to as many writers as possible who might need them. So here is what is happening that we have planned now for the workshops that I can talk about or announce… First, we will keep doing new regular workshops. The six that are there for November are the core. Other new ones will be added in and then…

Typing Large
Eyes Dilated… Seems my eyes take a little longer than the normal 4-6 hours to fully return to normal. So right now after my eye-doctor appointment very late this afternoon, this bright office is still a little uncomfortable. So I did the assignments I needed to do for the workshops and am now typing this because of my stupid streak of over ten years of not missing a blog here. Damn streaks are powerful. I have the text on this page up so large, it seems almost funny. But less strain. I would have never bothered even coming in this office tonight if not for the workshop assignments and this…

WMG HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR 2022 IS DOING GREAT!!
Just Went Past the Third Stretch Goal… Funded in less than an hour and hit the first stretch goal in less than 12 hours and since has hit two more stretch goals, which means that everyone backing the campaign at $25 and up not only gets the entire 39 story Holiday Spectacular calendar (with original stories by over thirty professional writers), plus three other stories and two writing workshops. And this one we have 10 days left. Fantastic!. So with luck, we’ll finally get the fun holiday calendar of stories to a place we have been hoping it would get to for the last three years. Again, the Holiday Spectacular…

The Last Sale…
Ever…. And we will not change our minds. This is it. This week. Why the about face on sales??? We said in June we would do a regular sale the last full week of each month up until the end of the year. Well, total failure. What is success to us? Having writers take the workshops or classes to keep learning. What the regular sales did from June until now basically caused the writers who are taking workshops and learning to be cut more than in half. So the sales don’t help more writers take classes, they instead cut the number of people taking classes and learning. And that is…
