    Writing Career Camp Questions…

    All the Details Are In the Last Post… But I got a few questions on the WRITING CAREER CAMP we are doing for four weeks in July and August. In a couple different ways, I got the very good question “Will this cover a lot of things I have already studied?” Answer… Some, but not much. The goal of this Writing Career Camp  is to take the entire indie writing career and publishing world and explain it in a way that makes sense so writers can plan ahead, make decisions, and set goals. Sure, you might have taken one class here or there on certain topics, but with this, the…

    Writing Career Camp

    WRITING CAREER CAMP… Online July 15th through August 12th Since we did the last master class back six or seven years ago, we have been trying to come up with a way to bring everything in indie publishing and writing together. And have it all presented in a way that makes sense. With our regular workshops and classes and such, there are so many gaps of large areas we are missing that we want to cover. Really important gaps to indie writers and publishers. So for four weeks, we are going to do our best to cover everything we can, in an orderly fashion that will help writers of all…

    Coaching Questions…

    Got Some Questions on the Coaching After Last Night’s Bog Mostly just what the heck is it? So figured I would bring up the original post and update it on how things are really working after a bunch of months now. Actually since February. Kris and I have talked a lot about how fiction writers have for one reason or another trouble getting their work out to readers. And often when this builds up, it causes a slowdown in the writing itself. A form of writer’s block. It turns out, every writer seems to be stuck at a very different place. And the topic is so huge, it just can’t…
