Decade Ahead Classes…
Up Early In The Morning… So just a quick note about the Decade Ahead quarterly classes. We started off fine in the first quarter (at least the first part of the first quarter) of 2020. Then pandemic and not a person, including me and Kris, had any idea where things were going. So by May of 2020 we had extended the Decade Ahead through all of 2021, thinking by this year we would all know how this was going to shake out. Well, nope. Half the world is still stuck in pandemic, but things in licensing will open back up in 2022 (and are starting to now). The pandemic has…

A Challenge Out of Nothing
I Can Make A Challenge For Myself Out of the Stupidest Things… A month or so ago I moved my office from our condo upstairs in this building to a bedroom in the condo on the ground floor. We will be using this condo for workshops in 2022, we hope, if a few more pieces fall into place. But for this last pandemic year, Kris and I used this condo for various things and for good reasons too many to mention, I decided to move my office down here. And it has been fantastic. With the move and such, I worked on a bunch of projects, but not a novel.…

A Fun Combination Idea…
Got This Question From Two Writers Today… And I realized it was a really fun idea I should tell everyone about. We have a series of “Collection” classes. The classes are 9 weeks long and from week 2-6 the writers taking the class write five stories that by the 9th week will be published in a collection as part of the class. In essence from nothing to a five story collection in two months. They are fun and you can get a bundle of all six classes that will last you a year and you will write 30 short stories, or you can buy them one collection class at a…

More On The Last Sale
GOT SOME QUESTIONS…. So figured I would answer them here and then repost the first post on the sale from last night. Question #1… What happened to the Master Business Class? It is the only thing we are starting that is not in the sale because that would not be fair to all of those who paid full price for the in-person workshop that has now become that. The Master Business Class will come back after the sale and will start in July. Question #2… Does this sale apply to the lifetime subscriptions? Yes, it does, to all three. Lifetime Subscription to Workshops, to Lectures, and to Study Alongs. Question…

THE LAST SALE…
That’s Right, Doing One More Pandemic Sale… We have been doing these sales every two months since the pandemic started to try to help writers stay focused on their writing and learning writing and publishing. So now that many parts of this country and the world are breaking into the clear, we decided it was time to do one last sale. We sure hope these sales have helped over the last year. And this one will help you over this last little bit. So the code to get every workshop on WMG Teachable at half price is… THELASTSALE Not only are we doing this sale to help writers stay focused…

A Fun Day…
Kris’s Birthday… For four years in a row now, I ordered a birthday cake for Kris that was far, far too big by factors. This year we had to go to a new bakery and I ordered it a week ago, all on my own. A very scary feat. So the lady taking the order asked what size and pointed to what must have been a standard two-layer cake size in a display case, but between all the other massive cakes in there, it looked too small. So I asked for something bigger and she said (something I didn’t understand) and I nodded and I ended up with a cake…

It Was A Day…
We All Have Them… So busy and so much to do, I sort of forget what I was doing at times. Up hours early for me and only glanced at my email before heading out for a meeting in North Las Vegas. Then back into town and my first stop at a bank in 18 months or so because I needed a cashier’s check. (Stupid old custom of business, there.) Then to the south side of town near the Strip for another meeting. Then stopped at a cat rescue operation I support with donations and where I had found the first Burman cat (like Cheeps) in years of looking. She…

Following Up on Yesterday’s Post…
With a Personal Story… I wrote a novel for fun back in January of 2014 called KILL GAME: A Cold Poker Gang Novel. It came out in Smith’s Monthly in March and then as a stand-alone novel in May of 2014. It sold very few copies, maybe three or four a month, maybe. (That’s what I have been told.) Then in November my creative voice said “Write another.” I did, a book called COLD CALL: A Cold Poker Gang Novel. Again it was in Smith’s Monthly and out stand-alone a month or so later. Sold very few copies, maybe three or four a month. I did not care and paid…
