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…

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.
