Special Workshops
Had a Couple Questions… About the two special workshops… And yes they are similar to what we have done before. We know that. The FANTASY THRILLER was a class we did in-person here in Las Vegas, taught by Kris. Very different format. This special FANTASY THRILLER class will be three weeks and taught by me. Should be very different and very few people should have crossed over from that in-person class a few years back. We also did a special workshop called WRITING STEAMPUNK AND FANTASY. That was a few years back on a Fey Kickstarter. This one we wanted to focus on just WRITING STEAMPUNK, without adding in the…

Last Post Had Great Comments…
Read the Comments and Feel Free to Add in… The idea of actually addressing the deep issues with writer’s block for writers certainly has both Kris and I excited. It won’t be easy if we decide to do it, but it will be challenging. And to be honest, I am looking forward to doing the classes because I want to make sure I have cleaned out the lingering issues from the eyes, shoulder, and business stuff. I want to get back up to my old speed sooner rather than later. And weirdly enough, I am dealing with aging issues, not in my body or hands or anywhere, but in my…

Killing the Two Workshops… The Why…
We Have A Way of Telling Interest… And figuring out the amount of actual commit-time interest in a topic. Here is what we look for. Realize we need at least 8 or 10 doing assignments the first time through for us to do the response videos. And we feel those are important. So here is what we look for to judge interest and number of people who will take the class first time through… First of all, did anyone actually buy the class? (These two no one. Not one.) Second, did someone use credits. (I didn’t see anyone, but one did I discovered this morning. Only one on one class.…

Two New Workshops Are Toast…
Killing the Two New Regular Workshops… Not one person signed up for either one, so clearly not much interest and wrong time of the year. No one even mentioned them. We have learned that is a bad sign. (grin) So BRUSHSTROKE CHARACTERS and FAKING IT regular workshops are not going to happen. At least not at the moment. I liked the idea of both of them, so maybe they will come back at a later time. We shall see. But still have the new class ADVANCED GENRE starting up and that is going to be a blast, and difficult, and a learning process all at the same time. (And for…

Determined to Get Some Sleep
So This Will Be Short… I will get eight hours somehow tonight, so got to just do little here but repeat some information. As I said, I did manage to start all of the new September Regular workshops, which includes the classic Heinlein’s Rules and two brand new workshops, Brushstroke Characters and Faking It. Both of those should be fun and great learning and they are available now on Teachable. Today is the last day on jumping into Kris’s Fall Challenge that runs to September 30th. Watch her daily writing and challenge her to match or beat her word count. That’s on Teachable. And this is the last day to…

Fun Stuff…
Mostly Getting Caught Up On Sleep… I really, really, really screwed around my sleep schedule right when I knew there were five days in a row I had to be up before noon. So a lot of long naps to just pretend to get eight hours in a day. Man that makes a person feel like crap and no one to blame but my inability to go to bed before 5 am. But as last night’s post said, I did manage to start all of the new September Regular workshops, which includes the classic Heinlein’s Rules and two brand new workshops, Brushstroke Characters and Faking It. Both of those should…
