One Day Left!
WMG Holiday Spectacular Kickstarter 2023… The WMG Holiday Spectacular 2023 campaign funded in 45 minutes, hit the first stretch goal in under 24 hours, and was given by Kickstarter a PROJECT WE LOVE designation that is really hard to get. Now it just went past its fifth stretch goal, plus we added a special stretch goal which it hit. If you have been studying Kickstarters, go take a look at how we did the Story in this one. I think it looks really nifty. And fits the Holiday Spectacular perfectly!! And how cool is all the holiday merchandise??? Since there are three books, with three beautiful holiday covers, we licensed…

The Challenges of Day Two…
I’m Learning… I’ve got no energy until I suddenly do. And then it only lasts for a very short burst. So, managed to get one thing recorded last night, hope to work on a couple more tonight. Please bear with me. I will be late on some workshops. And late getting responses back to homework. Also, I am working hard on some really cool stuff that predates this accident. One of which I will announce tomorrow because the WMG staff has helped me get it together. This is something we’ve been talking about for a long time. Some of you will be excited. I am very pleased with how well…

First Full Day…
Beat Way To Describe It… Ouch! Not taking any opioids, so pain managed by regular stuff, and managed is a little euphemistic to say the least. I am in a big brace that Ron Collins came up, and helped me and Kris figure out how to get me in an out of the brace and a garbage bag over my huge bandage so I could shower. THANK YOU RON!!!!! Excited about how well the new special stretch reward on the Kickstarter is doing. We’re trying to get to 160 backers by Sunday evening. Take a look and please pass the word. Really appreciate that. Thank you, everyone, for all the…

Kickstarter Doing Great!
Gaining on the Second Stretch Goal… The WMG Holiday Spectacular 2023 campaign funded in 45 minutes, hit the first stretch goal in under 24 hours, and was given by Kickstarter a PROJECT WE LOVE designation that is really hard to get. Now it is gaining on the second stretch goal, which not only has more holiday reading, but a writing class included. If you have been studying Kikstarters, go take a look at how we did the Story in this one. I think it looks really nifty. And fits the Holiday Spectacular perfectly!! And how cool is all the holiday merchandise??? Since there are three books, with three beautiful holiday…

Eleven New Kickstarter Writer Campaigns…
The Most Ever in a Week!! I think October brings out the fun of Kickstarters. Wonder if Kickstarter has data on that. All of these are by members of the Kickstarter Best Practices class on Teachable. It is free and I have sent this blog to all 1,500 plus members as well as posted them on the class itself. I talk about the good parts of each campaign and if I see a problem, I say that as well. The idea is to learn and keep going. So these campaigns are great to study if you are thinking of trying one yourself. And even more important, back the ones you…

Nora Roberts Had 204 Books Stolen…
By ChatGPT… Without permission, without payment, just 204 novels stolen whole cloth and used to train the AI stuff so lazy-ass writers can use her work to pretend to make their own crap better. Nora just discovered this and is not happy, to say the least. I stopped counting when I got to 28 of my novels stolen without permission or payment. What is bringing this up tonight is that tomorrow I will be pushing a bunch of Kickstarters by writers that are going now. I will put them on the Kickstarter free class and send out a letter to all of the writer’s signed up in that class, all…

Speaking of Kickstarters…
2023 WMG Holiday Spectacular… It will start on the 17th, over a week away, but since I was writing fiction tonight and don’t have much time for a blog to keep the blog streak going, I thought I would mention the new campaign so you can follow it and get notified when we do launch. It is going to be amazing. Click here for the promotion page. And how about this nifty logo for the Holiday Spectacular, done by the fantastic Stephanie Writt at WMG. How cool is that going to look on mugs and things with the fantastic holiday art? Don’t miss this fifth year of getting an original…
