    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.

    Some Fun Stuff in the Workshop Sale…

    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.

    Watched the Half-Marathon Runners…

    …Go Past Our Building… If felt right not being with them. I respect that distance and will train correctly for it next year. So watching them some was incentive. It is now past 4 am and I have been at this computer far too long for my arm, so going to just remind you all about the new ART OF THE NVELLA classes on wmgwriterstore.com Here is all that information again: ART OF THE NOVELLA series is 4 different classes limited to 20 writers each one. 9 weeks of weekly classes with assignments, then four weeks to write a novella in that genre with what you have learned. Three months…

    Rock ‘n Roll 5 K

    We Went Into the Crowds.. Beautiful sunny day (unlike last year). Kris ran the entire thing and I walked it. Kris started in the crowd of 5,000 runners, but because of my shoulder and fear of getting bumped, I was the last one to start. Passed a lot of people once things thinned out but walked the entire way. 10K and Half Marathon are tomorrow and I am not going. Shoulder is just not ready yet for that kind of punishment, so like I did for 5 years in Lincoln City, resetting for next year. I did run the half marathon five times over the last five years once we…
