Another Fun Day
Saw Alan Cumming’s Show Tonight… Amazingly fun. Do not take children to it. He talked about aging, death, body parts, sex, and love, among other things. Great stories and funny as all get out. Plus the music and songs were stunning. Really tough life living here in Vegas. Plus today I got six miles of exercise, kept my calories to 1,100 calories so far. And burned 2,800 calories of energy. Tomorrow my goal is to empty a storage unit of about 40 boxes of books and move them into a different storage unit. Plus five miles exercise and low calories intake. A bit of business… Those in the January in-person…

COLLECTION CLASSES 2023
INCLUDES 2021, 2022, AND 2023 CLASSES I am in the process of launching two or three of these a night. So they will be appearing on Teachable as this week and into next week. There are 24 choices of Collection Classes including six new in 2023. Each class is 9 weeks long and you write five stories, do titles and blurbs and covers and publish the collection by the end of the nine weeks. If you turn in all nine assignments (5 are stories) you get credit for a Pop-Up of your choice. The title of the class is the theme of the collection, but no genre restrictions at all.…

LAST DAY OF LAST SALE!!
Three Classic Workshops Added… Three more tomorrow afternoon, before the sale ends. The three new classic workshops that are now available are: — Covers101 — Heinlein’s Rules — Speed in Writing All three were regular workshops, now are classic. They are exactly the same, six weeks of videos, only as classic you do not turn in the assignments. And I was stunned tonight to discover there are 44 classic workshops. Wow, that’s a lot of videos. (grin) And tomorrow, if I am not totaled by the run, I will try to add the classic workshops Short Stories, Writing Sales Copy, and Media Kits before the sale ends. Everything is on…

Workshops Not Ending… Only the Sales
Thank you for the kind words, everyone… But a lot of you are making it sound as if the workshops are going away. Nope, just the sales, and I do understand that will limit a number of you going forward. Just nothing we can do if we want to get these out to as many writers as possible who might need them. So here is what is happening that we have planned now for the workshops that I can talk about or announce… First, we will keep doing new regular workshops. The six that are there for November are the core. Other new ones will be added in and then…

Some Updates
A Bunch of Stuff… First off, my eyes are still recovering, so I am slow to answer some email and read stories. Please pardon me. Not straining my poor one remaining eye at the moment for anything. (grin) Second… The last workshop sale is going on right now. Ends on Sunday, and yes, look back a few posts and I explain why this is the last workshop sale, forever. To get anything on WMG Teachable, simply find the course and the hit purchase and then on the next page put in the code: TheLastSale And hit apply and you should get the class for 50% off. It includes everything you…

The Last Sale…
Ever…. And we will not change our minds. This is it. This week. Why the about face on sales??? We said in June we would do a regular sale the last full week of each month up until the end of the year. Well, total failure. What is success to us? Having writers take the workshops or classes to keep learning. What the regular sales did from June until now basically caused the writers who are taking workshops and learning to be cut more than in half. So the sales don’t help more writers take classes, they instead cut the number of people taking classes and learning. And that is…
