    Tomorrow… Third Part

    TONIGHT… Getting Workshops Live… The day got swallowed by workshop stuff and a couple major naps and some writing so that I didn’t leave enough time to do the post on indie publishing, so I will finish that tomorrow. For now, those of you who got the special workshops from Case Card Kickstarter should have gotten a letter from me with all the links and codes. And all May workshops, including the collection classes, have started up. So with that, I have done my blog for the night and am going for a much longer nap. Might be called a night’s sleep. But got to finish a chapter first.

You can find them all on WMG Teachable. So here they are listed. ADVANCED CRAFT CLASSES… (Nine weeks long… Depth Workshop required for both. Dean gives feedback on eight assignments.)

    My Eyes Are Better

    And I Am Catching Up… And writing again, solidly. But my eyes still only give me so much computer time in a day and I spend a lot of it on writing fiction now. So that means I am behind on some things, such as the free workshops on Kickstarters. But I am catching up. Allyson, Gwyneth, Josh, and the rest of WMG Publishing never miss a deadline, If they say a book will be shipping in February, it was shipped in February. They are fulfilling the final hardbacks from the Fantasies Collide and Diving Kickstarters. And all book stretch goal rewards and other rewards have been sent out from…

    Last Day of the Sale!!

    No More Extensions… And this will be the last day I talk about sales here for a very long time. That will be good because I got a lot of other great stuff to talk about, including copyright value, writing stuff, challenges, licensing, AI, and you name it. I might even talk about some of my own books at times. Yikes!! But no more talking about sales after today for a very long time. So here is the information one last time. Ends Friday night (April 7th) very late (meaning when I get done writing around 3 am West Coast Time.) At that time I flip the switch. ALL APRIL…
