    A Hidden Streak and A Sale

    156 Week Streak Ends Tonight For 156 weeks, three straight years, I have recorded and put up videos every Monday.  Usually eight videos on different topics every Monday. Now, tonight after I finish this, or tomorrow early, I will record the last weeks and I have no plan on doing another of these kinds of workshops in 2026. So the Monday streak of teaching videos will come to an end. I am sort of surprised it lasted as long as it did, to be honest. But all the learning is still recorded and there. And I would suggest that if you are interested, you take them as they were intended,…

    A Look Back At 2025 Workshops

    Just For Fun… Kris and I are very aware that over the last few years, writers have put their faith in us and our workshops and teaching to spend the money for workshops and for a Lifetime Everything Subscription on either Teachable or the WMG Writer Store. Difference is that the WMG Writer Store can handle webinars and as of my last check, Teachable can not. So classes where it is important to have a webinar are put on the WMG Writer Store. Pretty much that simple. In both places, there is a lot of content, but Teachable is where there are over 400 active classes, workshops, Pop-ups, and lectures.…

    Kickstarter Friday

    Not One Fiction Campaign This Week That Is Worth Studying and Backing… I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here. Tonight there are none that I saw. Holiday and that makes sense. Horrid time to try to run a campaign. I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 59 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days…

    Extending the Early Bird Discount…

    Through Monday the 29th… Kris and I both realized that ending the discount on Christmas was silly, and she wanted it extended so she could let her newsletter folks know. So the Early Bird discount has been extended until late Monday the 29th. And we still have seven spots open. Anyone signed up will get the basic information on Tuesday or Wednesday and the first videos will appear on Monday the 5th. Here is all the basic information. Hope you can join us. FEAR AND PRODUCTIVITY SEMINAR Preparation for the New Year January Seminar January 5th through January 30th It is about craft, publishing, mindset, work habits, belief systems, getting…

    Seven Days Left In the Year…

    Time to Wrap Up, Look Back, and Then Turn Forward… You got a week. And rest is a great idea as well. The last three days here we spent really wrapping up a ton of stuff, making decisions, and setting up systems. Now we turn forward completely and finish cleaning up and turning our attention to new projects. And a ton new learning for me and Kris. Actually, a lot of it is relearning, just been a few years since we have done some things. And we are resting. So thank you all for the holiday wishes and I hope in return your holiday is a great one. And a…

    For Those Who Celebrate This Holiday…

    Enjoy! We have three Christmas trees here in our condo, and a dwindling plate of holiday sugar cookies Kris made. Pizza with friends tomorrow night, Jewish deli on Thursday for lunch. But mostly we will be writing through the entire time because that’s what we do. Hope you all have fun doing what you do on this holiday.

    3 Days Left On Early Bird Discount…

    FEAR AND PRODUCTIVITY SEMINAR Preparation for the New Year January Seminar January 5th through January 30th It is about craft, publishing, mindset, work habits, belief systems, getting past fear, and so much more. Anything that is slowing you down or holding you back is a fair topic for you to ask about and us to help you with. As with most seminars, this will be interactive in many ways, with questions being answered in videos each day and 4 weekly webinars.  The webinars will be recorded so that everyone can go back and watch them. They will be on Wednesdays at 4 pm West Coast time. The webinars will be…

    All 2026 All the Time…

    Total Focus Forward… And honestly, after the last few years of swirling with problems from the past, that feels wonderful. All of our planning time, and most meals, are discussions about what we want to do in this area or that area and how. And right now, the wonderful Chris York is in town and we will have official meetings. For the last two years, Chris has been our accountant and cleaning up more organizational problems than I care to think about. Not only is Chris an amazing writer under a bunch of names, she has worked as a business accountant for a very long time. And wow did we…

    Five Days Left On Early-Bird Seminar Pricing…

    Almost Forgot to Do A Post Tonight… Today was Kris and my wedding anniversary and even though we celebrate the day we met a lot more, we had a great evening with a fantastic dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. So after watching some television and doing some writing and reading a great Kris blog that will be on her Patreon page tomorrow, I shuffled off to bed to then suddenly realize I had forgot this. How annoying. Streaks will do that to you. So tonight I just need to remind you only four days left on the $400 Early-Bird price of the FEAR AND PRODUCTIVITY SEMINAR in January.…
