How I Count Years…
Resetting and Focusing Ahead… I actually have three times in a year I really reset and focus. First of the year, of course. July 1st (halfway), of course. And around my birthday. Now I am not sure why I use three, since my birthday is in early November (don’t ask) and I just sort of use it for starting challenges and other things over the years. Or if nothing else, spend the two months before the end of the year to get ready for the new year. In January 2018, Kris was so sick, I was only thinking of that. In July of 2018 I was still in the middle…

Anthology Workshop Starts Writing…
In Just Three Weeks… Wow, is that coming up fast. I just sent out invitations to everyone signed up on the Anthology workshop. So if you think you are signed up on the anthology workshop and didn’t get a letter from me and an invite into the group list, write me. And in sorting all this out tonight, I realized I still had two spots open. Just two. So if interested in the anthology workshop, write me soon because everyone starts writing on the week of the 24th. One story per week with a couple weeks off for the holidays. Six weeks of writing, a lot of reading, and a…

Some Workshop Stuff
Letters Out to Pulphouse Story Workshop… If you supported the Pulphouse Kickstarter with the Pulphouse Story Workshop level and have not gotten a letter from me with the log-in information, write me. This is the last time this workshop will be offered, and it is not offered for anyone but those who signed up on the Kickstarter, so don’t delay. I have gotten letters out to everyone that we know of. Workshop starts on Tuesday, the 5th. Also, November Regular Workshops start next week. Some good ones. List below. And after this last week, the Licensing Transition is going to have a ton of new stuff shortly. A mind-altering week…

Back to Normal
Back to Writing and Eating Well and Exercising… Although there wasn’t a day during the Master Business Class that I was under 13,000 steps. So I at least maintained that. And I ended up with about thirty pages of notes and information and cool details and helpful hints and major things. (Remember, Kris and I were putting this on and I still got thirty pages of notes.) Wonderful writers, great discussions, and I feel both energized and exhausted at the same time. So going to feel good being back in schedule. Real good. I will be caught up on missed email shortly and then will start into the challenge stories…

Corporations, Taxes, Copyright, and Trademarks…
Oh, My… Finishing up my notes tonight for those two lectures tomorrow that I will give to the Business Master Class. We are halfway through the licensing stuff and that has been fantastic so far. So more tomorrow, then I get to talk way down into the weeds on how to set up a licensing business and save a ton of money doing so. Going to be a blast. So off to finish up my notes and get some sleep. And try to digest the far, far too much food I ate today. Wonderful food, but still far, far too much.

Nothing to See Here
Saturday Night and Up Too Late Talking with Writers… And I left my car at the hotel and walked back to the condo because I am used to walking and not driving and I was thinking about some writing stuff and just flat forgot. Oh, well, it will be there tomorrow. But I am having fun, learning a bunch, and excited as this class moves forward. Fun conversations at lunch as well, and fun conversation with Kevin and Rebecca at dinner, which is why I had the car in the first place. So now going to go shut my mind off, get some rest, and do it again tomorrow, all…

Once Again the Power of a Streak
Without This Blog Streak I Never Would Have Turned on This Computer… But with this many years of never missing a day, even with doing a lot of other fun stuff today, I turned on the computer to type something here. Did it matter what I type? Nope. To hit the blog streak, the daily blog streak, it just had to be something. You know, I am alive, the streak is alive, and so on and so on. Imagine if you were doing this kind of streak with your writing, that no matter how late, how much your mind was elsewhere, you wrote 250 words a day on a streak.…

Fantastic New StoryBundle
How Many Worlds Can Be Saved? I set off to put this Storybundle called Saving the World together with a goal. I wanted to find as many ways as possible to save the world and as many worlds as possible to save. I figured that would be really fun for me to read and I hoped that a lot of you would feel the same. And what I was lucky enough to end up with is eight novels and two major collections of short stories, all fantastic. And fun. And on top of that, four of the books in this bundle can ONLY be found in this bundle. That’s right,…

One Day Left…
Almost to the Second Stretch Goal… Only one day left in the Kickstarter. You get 35 original holiday stories sent to you, one per day during the holidays, plus all kinds of other great stuff. Time is running out to get in on this original and fun idea. And we are well on the way to the second stretch goal, which means more great reading. So help us hit that and get some great reading through the holiday season by some top short fiction writers. And if you want great discounts for workshops and lectures, you have just one day to get them. And trust me, after doing two Kickstarter…

New Videos in Shared Worlds Class
Four New Videos… About the large shared worlds everyone thinks about when they think of a shared world. This class is just getting started and will last for nine months. So all the videos here at the beginning are basic stuff. But I wanted to detail out each type and level of shared world in the first month or so, and that’s what this is, four videos about the big guns, the Star Trek, Marvel, Star Wars, and so on. Not teaching you how to write for any of those. That is not what this class is about. The class is about how you can create a shared world of…
