So here we are… Spring Restart Writing Challenge with Kris The challenge is to write as many consumable words from Wednesday, May 1st through Friday, May 31st 2024 as Kris writes.

    Pulp Speed Post is Back!

    About a Year Since I Last Posted This… I wanted to bring this back again because I also just brought back for May (one month only) the Reaching Pulp Speed regular workshop. (Those of you with lifetime workshop or Everything subscriptions, write me for the May code.) I am also working back to Pulp Speed and above after my last two life events with the eyes and then the arm. So figured I could use it again as well. (grin) (I wrote this post around 2014, then brought it forward to 2016, then 2017, and just about every year or so since, skipping 2022.) Not at all sure why this…

    Talked About The Problems of Fantasy Maps Today…

    Doing Maps and Great Fantasy Characters… Two really amazing special workshops only available through our Kickstarter campaign for just four more days.

If you ever think you will be using a map for anything in the future, this course will save you more time and problems and money than you can imagine. We talked about that today on Writer Direct (a webinar on WMGWriterStore.com that happens every Friday at 4pm and you can get information on the store.) After this…

    Reminded of Something…

    Backlist Memories… Not a part of my branding series, just me reminding myself of something… Here is the story. Fact, at the moment Kris and I have about 1,400 titles of one sort or another. We have spent over 12 years of hard work and time and a ton of money to get those all into one form of print or another. Some make decent money, some make a little money, some don’t sell at all. Normal and expected. I have to be honest, I can’t remember a bunch of the novels I have written and published. Very few of the 106 published novels in traditional publishing, more of the…
