Got Some Question On The Half Price Workshop Sale
IS EVERYTHING HALF PRICE? That was the first question I got a few times. — Are all the pop-ups half price as well? Yes. — All the Lifetime Subscriptions? Yes. — Even the bundles of other workshops, like the Classic Bundles? Or Pop-up bundles? Yes and yes. — Every WMG Publishing Workshop, Lecture, Pop-Up, Class, or Subscription on Teachable is HALF PRICE! — At least until 5pm on Friday, West Coast Time. So all day tomorrow and a ways into Friday. That’s right, on anything available on Teachable (hit “See All Courses) right now, just use the code SpringTraining2020 and get any class or workshop half price. (And if you…

Something Fun…
Listen to Me Babble for 45 Minutes… Live… At 10 AM West Coast time, I will be on the Draft2Digital Spotlight talking publishing and writing with super writer and editor Mark Leslie Lefebvre, who also works for D2D. It will be live and could get silly, because Mark and I tend to get silly at times. For those of you who don’t know, for a number of years now, Mark has been our anchor at both the Master Business Class and the Anthology Workshop. His depth of knowledge of fiction and publishing and his willingness to help writers goes beyond any words I might say. And he likes beer. And…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 14
Ramping Back Up… The day was swallowed by a ton of detail stuff, mostly business. Made it to this computer around 11 am and did email and some details on this web site fixes. Also some work on the Cats Bundle (see below) and some work on the Cave Creek Kickstarter, which ended successfully. Yeah! And thank you, everyone, for supporting that project. I promise it will be some fun. And surveys will go out soon. Then Kris and I headed out around 1 pm for a long walk (about four miles total) to run an errand and then picked up take-out lunch on the way back. A ton of…

A Day of Other Work, Not Writing Fun
Nothing Done On The Card Sharp Silver Novel… So not even going to count this as a day on the book. But notice what I spent most of my day on. (grin) I think I finally brought the look of this blog from 1990s (maybe) to 2020. I have a ton to do to get the fiction stuff up to date under the different pages. And so some other stuff I want to add in. But in time I will get there. This sudden shift has been coming on for a while. And last night that old theme finally just broke and for a while I thought I would miss…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 13
Wow, almost didn’t get this up here… My old theme broke when I updated my WordPress, would not allow me to post or anything. No clue why. My last ditch attempt was to go back to this older theme for a night until I could get it figured out. So this was a close call breaking my streak. I would have been bummed breaking my posting streak on Day 2,768. I will post this here, and then go back to the other theme to see if it survives. A quick rundown of the day. Nothing really special happened beyond the other days. Got about 2,000 words done in two sessions.…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 11
Just Another Day… Nothing special about today, other than the entire world is locked down. But here, Kris and I got a lot done. I was again late getting in here to my office. Managed the feat around 12:30 pm and did some email and stuff, then headed to the writing computer at 1:30 pm. By 2:15 I had about a thousand words done and then had lunch. Got back in here around 3 pm and recorded some stuff. Then about 3:45 I managed to get back to the writing computer and did just about another 1,000 words before 4:45 pm. Then a short nap and and then Kris and…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 10
Ups Need Downs… Today was a slight down instead of an expected up. Got a very late start for me and didn’t even get to the internet computer until 1:30 pm. Yes, I slept that late. I normally get out of bed at 10:30, didn’t make it this morning until noon. Had some lunch around 2:30 pm or so, then a little more email and got to the writing computer at 3:15 pm. By 4 pm I had just over 1,000 words done and went for a long walk with Kris. Then a nap. Then I cooked dinner and watched an episode of Picard, then back in here to do…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 9
Onward I Go… Not great numbers, but unlike many writers out there who are beating on themselves and stressed beyond words because of the world situation, I am getting words done. Not saying I haven’t been paying attention. I have. Not saying at times I don’t get stressed. I do. But not to excess because besides taking care of our business, social distancing, and disinfecting everything I touch, there ain’t a thing I can do. If I was a medical professional, I most certainly would be pitching in. But all I really know how to do after the last forty years is make shit up and entertain people. And donate…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 8
Another Better Day on Words… Not sure how many exactly because for the first two sessions I flat forgot to make a note as I started and ended. Got caught up in the book. But somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 words for the day. And really, really a fun point went past in the book today. It suddenly became clear to me how to focus all the writers who are going to write Cave Creek stories for the anthologies. My creative voice just sort of put it in and I didn’t notice until it was a ways past. You folks writing for this in the Shared World Class will see…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 7
Writing Picked Up Speed… Just wish the Kickstarter for Cave Creek would. So today I managed to get in here to my internet computer around 11 am or so, doing business and emails. Then around noon I headed out once again for some errands. Bank, store for a few things I missed yesterday. Made it back after a few business calls while in the parking lot of the store, by two. Got disinfected and then Kris and I headed out for a walk to lunch. We walked the mile to the restaurant and back through the mostly empty streets of downtown Las Vegas, then back with our carry out lunch…
