Promotion and Sales Package
PROMOTION AND SALES PACKAGE OFFER FROM WMG PUBLISHING INC. As a one-time offer, limited to only ten, WMG Publishing Inc. will be offering to put together an entire sales package for one of your books. A holiday offer to the writers who have supported our projects and workshops over the years. This package will be put together by the entire team at WMG Publishing. And yes, I will be helping as well, even though I don’t work officially at WMG. The idea of this is to help you (or whoever you buy the package for) set up a sales and promotions plan for a book, with all the ingredients needed…

Just Workshops All Day
Moving All Workshops Takes Time… I really had no idea how long it would take to move the workshops to Teachable. Wow. But got all of December workshops there now and started. So about 80% of this battle done. So much nicer there. I will be bringing up the January workshops there over the next week plus a Classic workshop to the list. Slow but sure at this point. ————– Short Story and Novel Challenge I am only taking five on each challenge starting on January 1st. So don’t miss on this one if you want a great challenge to start off your new year. Details are a few posts…

Beating Critical Voice For Fiction Writers
More Than Likely That is Not the Title… But you get the idea. I’m going to start a series of posts here that will turn into a short book at some point about the fight we all wage against Critical Voice (with echoes and dread horror/slasher/music.) And I hope to give a bunch of advice on how to beat back critical voice as well and get the fun back into your writing. So here with go with a short introduction first. Then I’ll go from there over the next weeks. I have sixty-seven books to put out this year. This will be one of them. But I want to write…

December Workshops Started
Strengths Workshops Closing Again Tomorrow… If you are signed up or have credits through the Kickstarter offer, you can still get in and take them. But for new sign-ups, the window is closing. Just too much work for me and Kris to keep them open. The Strength Workshops are six workshops. You can one, two, or all six. Check the link on the right side for deals. You want to see how you are doing in different areas, there are two craft, two business, two sales. All about the same size as a normal six-week regular workshop, only these Strength workshops you do on your own pace. You might be…

Auction and Other Fun Things Today
Thought I Might Get Started On a Novel Tonight… But nope. Spent the late afternoon out at the two south stores and then the auction until after 8 p.m. Then I headed up to the office and ate dinner while I worked on workshop stuff, not getting home until after midnight. This switching workshops to teachable takes some time. Then I watched some television and got a bunch of stuff caught up and did some reading on the challenges from October. Remember, new challenge if you are interested in jumping in starting on the 1st of January. I am only taking five for the novel challenge and five for the…

Want To Be Challenged? I Am Doing It Again
I Am That Crazy… I am going to do it again. I am offering to be a first reader for some of you. I am still just finishing up the reading for the short story challenge that ended yesterday and the writers are still working on novels until January 15th, but that means I will have time to read again starting January 1st. What a great way to be motivated starting the new year. The first two times I did this, the challenges turned out to be fun for me. And the writers who participated said it challenged them to get writing done they might not have gotten done without…

Three More Books Out
My Challenge to Publish My Age… Today I had three books that count in my challenge all publish at the same time. The first one was Tombstone Canyon: A Thunder Mountain Novel. It is not up yet on WMG Publishing Website, but it will be tomorrow. It should also be live on most sites by tomorrow as well. The paper will take another day or so. The second publication today is Pulphouse Issue Zero. That should be out to all Kickstarter supporters in electronic. Paper editions will follow as soon as they get here. Third book out is Fiction River: Superpowers. I count it because my name is on the…

A Day Picking, Exercising, and Watching A Movie
Also Had a WMG Meeting… That was how the day started, with a WMG Meeting, then Kris and I managed to head into the valley and I dropped her off to watch a movie at a theater there and went picking. I spent exactly $73.10 for an entire trunk of stuff. My gut sense is we’ll sell or try to sell all of the stuff I found for just under a thousand. It might be more, depending on the brand names of some of the silk ties I got. You can get a lot of silk men’s ties for $1.19 a pound. And a ton of silk scarves. Plus a…

Going to End Up With Twelve
Life Just Didn’t Allow For More… But honestly, I wanted 15, figured I would get 10, so I’m okay with 12. I’m going to be busy again tomorrow and then on the 30th I’m going to clear the decks for writing some novels in December. By the way, if I don’t write another short story in December, I will have written 50 short stories in 2017. Exactly what I needed for 12 issues of Smith’s Monthly. I did get Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Issue Zero formatted and it will be going out to all Kickstarter supporters and subscribers on Thursday. Amazing amounts of work. I still hadn’t started the assignments tonight…

Too Much Computer Time
I Think I Could Have Written A Novel… Doing the formatting and layout of Issue Zero of Pulphouse is taking way, way longer than I expected. Mostly because it is the first time through. It will get easier with coming issues. Also I am doing it all to get the voice and attitude. Today I was at the computer almost all day, so my eyes are very tired and no time to do a short story tonight. I am pretty happy with the twelve stories so far, but hope to get done and rested enough to do a couple more before the 1st. But I got to take care of…
