    In-Person Workshops…

    We Just Finished the First New One… At Resorts World on the Strip in Vegas. Wow, was that something special. The hotel was about as perfect as it could get for a small workshop. Rooms were great and quiet, and the meeting room was perfect. Food was good, with a ton of options for everyone. And I do mean a ton. More restaurants in Resorts World and across the street than all of downtown Vegas. So Resorts World is our new home. Cheaper, very quiet, and super nice. But we have an issue. No one is signing up, or at least not enough to pay Resorts World and run a…

    February Workshops Now Available…

    Including Two Resurrected Classic Workshops… Remember, the two Resurrected Classic Workshops will only be available as a regular workshop with me giving homework feedback for this one month. They are also still classic workshops. Each month we will bring back to Regular Status one or two Classic Workshops. We have no schedule on when any of them will come forward. We will just decide each month. (Sometimes it will depend if I can find my old notes or not.) Lifetime Workshop Subscribers, just follow normal workshop procedure if you want feedback and write me for a code to get into any of the February workshops. Here is the list of…

    Resurrected Classic Workshops

    FOR ONE MONTH ONLY!! Since numbers of writers have asked about how to get feedback on assignments in workshops that are now Classic Workshops and there just wasn’t a way (Until now.) Kris and I and Allyson got talking about figuring out a way to bring back one or two Classic Workshops per month, for one month only, and I would treat that workshop like a regular workshop that month. In other words, I would respond to the homework of that workshop. The class itself will still be in the Classic Workshops, and I will not respond to that, but we will put up the class with the Orange Regular…

    Writing Classes

    Here Are The Pop-Up Classes… Kris and I have been working on a bunch of Pop-Up classes the last few days. We are first getting out the four stretch reward Pop-Up classes from the Pulphouse Kickstarter and at the same time I am working on the stretch reward Pulphouse anthologies. We promised them all this spring and the Pop-Ups will be ahead of that. Anthologies will be one per month. Here are the four that will go live on Teachable to buy and the backers of the Pulphouse Kickstarter will be sent codes for in the next few weeks. Pop-Up #80… Turning Big Ideas into a Short Story Pop-Up #81……

    3 Days Left!!!

    In the FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter Campaign… And it is doing great, which means all backers of any reward (starting at the first one of $30) get lots of great extra stuff.

    SPECIAL OFFER FROM ME…

    Workshops Are In Second Week!! I realized that yesterday after doing the post about the workshops closing later in the week, and then tonight I was doing assignments and starting the second weeks. As I was doing that, I realized that almost no one would jump in after missing the first week and the first assignment. Especially with the Collection Classes. So I talked to Kris about my idea and she said, “If you don’t mind the extra work.” So my SPECIAL OFFER IS THIS… If you jump into one of the Regular Workshops, Collection Classes, and Advanced Pacing Class, and send the first assignment with the second one this…

    Today Everything Has Started…

    Stunning Amounts of Stuff… Wow, was this a busy start to a new year for new workshops, Kickstarter, diet, and exercise. I signed up for the tracking of trying to run/walk 2023 miles in 2023. For me that is just over 11,000 steps a day without missing for an entire year. Yeah, that’s a streak. Down two pounds on my first weigh-in of the year on Monday, so considering the holidays, a total win. And I am slowly trying to bring up the running a little without damaging my old knees. Mostly just walking the 5.5 miles a day at the moment. The eye is slowly improving but still really…
