First Story Assignment Up… The Gothic Workshop taught by Kris in person here in Las Vegas from May 5th to 8th is going to be great fun.

Negative Habits
Habits of Not Writing… Or not publishing what you write. Over the years I have talked a lot in classes and here about how it really helps to form positive habits on writing. Start a streak, do a challenge, write at the same time each day, and so on. And with the publishing coming in, I have often suggested a publishing day each week set aside only for publishing. Form a habit. But what I have noticed in myself and others lately is not writing, not publishing, is habit-forming as well. Streaks, challenges, and so on to help form positive habits are powerful, but so are the habits of not…

Dialog from 1 to 10 Characters
I Left Out the Word “From” Yesterday And with Teachable’s really sucky search function, turns out the class was difficult to find. It is on the first page, about 8 down. Here is yesterday’s post on this great class that starts Monday. This Great Class Starts Monday. Taught by Kris for six weeks.

Wearing Brands
Fun Wearing My Own Brands… I have got three hoodies for the Licensing Expo next month that have three of my brands on them. Poker Boy, Bryant Street, and Pulphouse. Amazing how much fun it is to wear your own brands and how much it can motivate you to write more. I had no realized it would feel that way for me. And I hope at the Licensing Expo to get some interest in the brands. Going to wear one per day. Some of you taking classes right now might see me recording in the Poker Boy hoodie. And speaking of a brand, we just put up THE KRIS AND…
