    Sorry, Too Late…

    Kickstarter Special Workshops Are Only In the Kickstarters… And our Kickstarters only last for nine days. I got a question yesterday about the Special Workshops that we had offered in the Special Indie Publishing Books Kickstarter in February. (I will be sending to everyone signed up for them an email tomorrow on how to get in since they start on Tuesday.) This person wanted to know how to get into those two classes. I wrote back “Sorry, only way to do that was in the Kickstarter back in February.” The person was not happy that we limited our classes like that. Shrug… So I got curious and went back over…

    Writing Science Fiction

    The Most Difficult Genre to Write… Even much harder than thrillers. Say you have this great story set on a space station. People just living and working and having families and everything.

What element makes it science fiction? Gravity issues, atmosphere leaks, aliens with six arms, and so on and so on. If the story could be set here and now, not science fiction. And you set the story 100 years in the future. Okay, so here…

    What Makes the March Seminar Different??

    Got That Question Three Times… And Kris and I both went, “Oops, forgot to explain that.” We have done three seminars now in the last year, and more than likely this well be the last. The format is difficult on us, to be honest, because there is so much information crammed into four weeks. The last one we did was Fear and Productivity. We focused on the mental side of writing, the mental and other side of publishing, and the mental and work levels of productivity. A lot to cover in four weeks and the four webinars were fun and really learning experiences. So when Kris and I were talking…
