    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.

    Great Learning in the Sale… As I said a couple nights ago, we only do sales now when we open a new Shopify store and we had no plans for a new store any time this spring. Thus no workshop sales. But then the WMG Writer Store arrived, and it is getting nifty stuff added every day now. So with the new store firing up, we can do a Teachable workshop sale. So now if you want some class or workshop, you can grab it at half price. Everything on WMGTeachable is 50% off. Everything. And below are some really cool workshops.

    Call This A Night Off…

    Not Missed a Day Blogging in 11 or 12 years… Not one day. So even though I want to go spend my arm time (limited still) writing on a story tonight, I still have to post something here. So the last two nights had all sorts of details about a 50% workshop sale. And before that I started a series on branding which I will get back to. Hope you didn’t miss those. So while I go write on a Seeder’s story, this is my “night off” blog to keep the stupid streak alive. And thus the power of a streak.
