Some Surprising Numbers…
At Least They Surprised Me and Kris… Teachable sent us a bunch of facts from 2025. First time in our ten years with them that they have done that. Seems we have 1,469 courses, and zero were made with AI help. Duh… We have many of those 1,469 courses turned off (unpublished) as dated or duplicates, but we have around 600 active courses. Wow, see why the Lifetime Everything Subscription is so good? (grin) We have 5,692 writers who have taken classes over the decade and 179 new writers joined in 2025. They also sent us a bunch more information such as total income, numbers of hours of classes watched,…

GETTING A FOCUS IN THESE WEIRD TIMES…
FOR MANY WRITERS, FOCUS ON WRITING AND PUBLISHING IS DIFFICULT… … If not impossible because of all the stuff happening in the world. There is no doubt that the US government and our sick and ignorant con-man of a leader has gone off the rails in so many ways. This will pass in time, and he will be gone, but no telling how many will get hurt in that amount of time. In the years of the pandemic, there were writers who could not focus, and others of us who dove into the writing to escape the world. That is what writers need to do now. Dive into your writing…

A Hidden Streak and A Sale
156 Week Streak Ends Tonight For 156 weeks, three straight years, I have recorded and put up videos every Monday. Usually eight videos on different topics every Monday. Now, tonight after I finish this, or tomorrow early, I will record the last weeks and I have no plan on doing another of these kinds of workshops in 2026. So the Monday streak of teaching videos will come to an end. I am sort of surprised it lasted as long as it did, to be honest. But all the learning is still recorded and there. And I would suggest that if you are interested, you take them as they were intended,…
