    Two Special Workshops

    Only Available In the RESCUE TWO Kickstarter Campaign. These both fit in well with the space opera and science fiction nature of the Seeders books. And both are going to be great fun. RESCUE TWO KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN… ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT!!!  —  WRITING IDEA FICTION Special Workshop!! NOT OFFERED ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IN THIS CAMPAIGN. Idea fiction is an entire area of science fiction, and many writers believe that is all that makes up science fiction. They are wrong, but it is a large part of the genre.  An important part to know how to do. Kris and I have put together this three-week class to help you understand what makes a…

    Reading a Lot of Great Stories

    Study Along Workshop for Thriller/Humor I have been amazed at a number of things. First off, how many writers got stories in for this workshop. Writing thriller/humor short stories is a tough challenge and a lot of writers tried it. So that impressed me. Second thing that impressed me with the first assignment was how good they were overall. Some great mysteries and a bunch of writers actually hit thriller/humor short stories. Then with the story in 40 hours, a lot of writers made the deadline and again the stories were great. And the third story deadline of 24 hours had about three times as many stories as I expected,…

    Internet Issues

    So One of These Blogs… Writing this  to load with the hot spot on my phone. Seems Tuesday night around midnight is a good time for the cable people to do work. Annoying. My eye is just about done with screen time for the day. Read a large number of great stories for the Thriller/Humor workshop, and did a lot of regular assignments for workshops and a ton of other stuff. So busy, but just about done. My eye is getting tired. So remember the Kickstarter has hit four stretch goals, which means three free Pop-Up classes on world building in science fiction. And more to come. And two really…

    Copyright

    Basic Nuts and Bolts Copyright For Writers Just posted the copyright class as a stand-alone class as well as part of the Master Business Class, which now has 15 different classes as part of it, and more to come. Very straight forward, here is what you need to know. Going to be getting into licensing soon in the master business class, so Kris and I wanted to make sure everyone had the copyright foundation since most writers just never get around to it. Also in the master business class going to be posting information in the next week or so about the Licensing Expo and what we are doing there…

    Another Friday Night

    Over The Years… I think it is a total miracle that I have not missed on this blog on a Friday night. Some of you know I tended bar for 17 years, and just about always on a Friday night. So back in 1987, when I went freelance with writing and editing and publishing, I swore I would never spend another Friday night or another New Year’s Eve in a bar. But for some reason, after 35 years of not going anywhere on Friday night, the itch to go out and do something on Friday night is still there. I never want to do anything in reality, but it is…
