Getting Ready for a New Year Or Challenge
Tracking Time… That is exactly what I have been doing the last three or four days. I have been keeping track of time in basically 15 minute segments. What I have been trying to work out for my own challenge is “Do I have the time it will take?” Time is like water. It just fills whatever space available. But seemingly never quite enough of it. So I have been looking at how I actually spend my days and where I could get more time and not really miss anything I am doing now. I am on an exercise and losing weight streak. Doing 10,000 steps minimum per day (5…

More On Challenges For 2022
A Goal vs A Challenge… Right about now, here on the 6th of December, it is a great time to start looking at the year ahead. For many writers, setting a challenge is not a good idea. But in any business or art, setting a goal can really help. So tonight I thought I would talk about the difference between a goal and a challenge. I believe both are good. And by setting a challenge, you are also setting a goal. But often goals are not challenges. Last night I listed four things that I thought were important when deciding on a challenge. They are: 1… It actually has to…

Figuring Out a Challenge
I Realized A Few Important Things About a Challenge… You have to have the following… 1… It actually has to be a challenge. Something you haven’t done before. 2… You have to remember what the challenge is on bad days six months after you start and why you are doing it. 3… The results of the challenge need to be something that can be used and advance some part of your writing or publishing world. 4… If a Writing Challenge, it has to follow Heinlein’s Rules. Okay, those all seem simple, right? And for most writers and most levels of challenges, they are simple. Until you get to a level…

Workshop Question…
Would Anyone Be Interested In a Pulp Speed Workshop? No requirement to take it, I’m just trying to find out if there is interest. In the Making a Living with Novels workshop, I talked about Pulp Speed, described it in one video. And I have described it here on this blog a bunch of times over the years. But not once have I explained to anyone how to reach pulp speed. I do it so naturally over decades, I guess I just sort of thought that if a person wanted to do it, they could just do it. I sort of forgot what it took for me to build up…
