    Half Way…

    The Year Will Be Half Over on Saturday… Seems impossible, but yet it is. I got back to writing completely on April 1st after vision issues had stopped me and I learned this month that my vision now is what it will be going forward. As the doc said, “Your eyes look like a war zone.” So now, after three months of ramping up, learning how to write with the new vision, I feel like I am back to full writing speed again this week for the first time since last November. That bodes well for the second half of the year. I will be posting the July workshops tomorrow.…

    Last Day of Weekend Sale

    Ends Midnight Monday Night West Coast Time Since everyone here in the States does sales (as I just pointed out yesterday), we decided to see how many writers were paying attention and give those who were a three day sale of any workshop they want to get on Teachable for 50% off. That’s right, any, from the lifetime subscriptions to the June regular workshops, and everything else as well. For example, I thought this surprise sale might get a few writers signing up for the full year of THE DECADE AHEAD or maybe BITE-SIZED COPYRIGHT. First quarters on both are all up, and we are through the 9th week of…

    Everyone Is Doing Sales…

    Always Been Aware of That Trend… But I never really, really noticed how massive it was before this weekend when we fired up a sale for workshops. That sort of made me become aware. Wow, just wow. Today alone I got email about three-day-sales from a company I bought socks from, two shoe companies, a t-shirt place, an audio studio, two restaurants, three casinos, two car dealerships, a bakery, a gym, and that was when I stopped paying attention. Kris got in on a couple of the sales, I could use some new running shoes. So I guess they work. But our goal was to just help some folks with…

    Paying Attention Sale

    Holiday Here In the States… The holiday here is called Memorial Day which honors those who served in the military and also family members who are no longer with us. And it is a time where people take vacations since it is a three-day weekend, or they spend time with their families in picnics or other activities. Experts also say that today is supposed to be the busiest travel day of the year as well. And for writers, this tends to be the first major weekend of the Time of Great Forgetting. Writers just forget about writing and learning and publishing and often don’t come back to paying attention until…

    June Workshops Now Available…

    Yeah, May is Almost Gone… I have all the June Regular Workshops now ready for sign-ups on Teachable. Using Tags in Your Fiction is the Resurrected Classic Workshop this month. (It is still a Classic Workshop, but for one month you can get feedback from me on it as a regular workshop.) As we move through the more Advanced Craft Workshops, tags are slowly emerging as more important than anyone realizes. They are a powerful tool. Invisible to most writers, but powerful when you know how to use them. I figured it was time to bring it back for a month. Here are the June Regular Workshop classes… (If you…
