Not Much Tonight
Just Reading and Doing Videos… Reading Challenge stories, which are great fun, and recording a few videos for the Licensing Learn Along. Also managed to get back to writing on the new Cold Poker Gang novel as well. So great fun today all the way around, just not much to report on this Saturday night. So maybe I’ll start into a new book and lecture on Trademarks for Writers sometime this next week. Guess it’s time. (Update, wrote this early this morning, and thanks to a glitch it didn’t publish, so here it is now.)

June Workshops
All Started… And still time to not only jump into any of them, but jump into the Learn Along Licensing workshop as well. All of that is on Teachable. Today I put up five new videos on the Licensing Learn Along and I hope everyone taking Licensing has gone through the free classic workshop The Magic Bakery that comes along with it. You will miss lots of stuff if you don’t. So next week I will put up the July regular workshops and take down the June ones. So still time for the workshops below, but not much. Class #51… June 4th … Endings Class #52… June 4th … Point of View…

Expo Finished…
I Put Up Four More Videos and a Bunch of Pictures… On the Licensing Learn Along on Teachable. I will do three or four more days of videos and stuff over this weekend in the Expo section, even though the Expo is over. Then I will go to the third section will have stuff for a month or so on the results, the long-term learning, and a ton more details. Really worth jumping into that if you haven’t already, if not for anything but to do the Classic Magic Bakery basics workshop that I give away in that. But the conference was just amazing. Mind altering, of that there was…

More Learning Than My Poor Brain Can Handle
Day Two of the Licensing Expo… I managed tonight four more videos, long ones, up on the Learn Along Licensing on Teachable. Plus a couple of other things. This Expo, as Kris and I had thought it might be, is a major business changer for us. Kris had warned me since she went there for a few hours last year that this would be major, and she was right. One thing is clear. Publishing is a tiny and really sad little part of licensing at the moment. And really screwed up. Especially traditional publishers. As Kris said at one point, agents are agents. But at least in this world they…

Had Fun Today
First Day of the Licensing Expo… Wow, is that place massive. And I learned a ton. I talked about my day in three videos on the License Learn Along and put up a dozen or so pictures. I will be doing more posting over the next two days and then a bunch for three or four days after as I get rested and the information comes together. Then over the next few weeks I will talk about how Kris and I are digesting the information. You can still sign up on the Licensing Learn Along. What I can also say for sure after today is that the Master Business Class in…

More Videos and Photos
Going to Be Lots of Photos… Not only for those of you in the Licensing Learn Along, but for me to help keep track of things at the Licensing Expo. Pictures, lots and lots of careful notes, and god only knows what else. Kris and I headed out to Mandalay Bay today to get our badges early and also to have me take a look at the size and scale of what we were dealing with on a physical level. Everything is well under construction and the place is even larger than I had imagined. I’m going to get my walking in, that’s for sure. Just round trip to the…

How Is The Writing Going?
Considering Everything… Not Bad… The Kickstarter just ended, we are preparing and spending a ton of time on getting ready for the Licensing Expo, the Future’s Patience workshop is ending and the Time Travel workshop is starting. And I have increased my steps to walking over 12,000 steps a day and losing weight slowly and spent a little time in the gym running five of the last seven days. (Down 7 pounds in six weeks.) And I have been working on a new web site and learning InDesign to do covers and ramping all that up. So how is the writing going with all that? Actually, fine. And picking up…

Time Travel, Romance, and Licensing
All Kinds of Fun Stuff… Tomorrow I will put up some more videos and some flyers and stuff on the Learn Along Licensing event. Got some nifty stuff and the event is still six days away. Remember, it will be in three parts. Part one is this preparation phase, then the Expo phase, then the results and discussion phase. That third phase might be getting new videos for months afterwards. Still lots of room to jump into the fun. Once signed up, it will always be available for you to go back and review and ask me questions. But I will shut it off for new signups a short time…
