    January and February Workshops

    Includes New Pulp Speed Workshop… And yes, the Pulp Speed Workshop has been included in the Lifetime Workshop Subscription and no, if you have a lifetime subscription, you do not have to tell me you are going to take it. I’ll know when you turn in the first assignment. The Pulp Speed workshop starts February 2nd.

    Getting Set Up for 2022

    Cleaning Up a Desk Cluttered with Yellow Notes and Legal Pads… Amazing how many notes I have on this desk around my internet computer. And I am working to clear those off. For example, I found a note about Motivational Monday idea and then a legal pad where Kris and I worked out the details and the first few videos. Tossed away the note, took the details and transferred them to a notebook where I will actually be keeping track of what videos I have done every Monday and when. I will do it that way for a time, then will transfer that to a spreadsheet at some point. Remember,…

    In Person and Study Along and Novella Classes

    In Person Craft Classes in Vegas Return in 2022!!! That’s right, the limited craft in-person classes are back in 2022.

There will be six classes, all limited to 15 people each here at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. For this new series, we have taken the overall topics of Caper, Spies, and Humor and smashed them into six different genres. March 21st-24th… Thriller Humor (taught by Dean) May 16th-19th… Mystery Caper (taught by Kris)…

    Status of Classes On Hold

    Still Cleaning Up Some from the Pandemic… So thought I would give everyone here a status report on the classes that we pushed back during the pandemic and what we are doing with them in the coming year. Thanks for being understanding, folks. — Decade Ahead bundle starting over completely. Everything has changed so much, we are just starting fresh in January. (Old videos will still be there, just pulled off to one side if they are not important.) But completely starting over and it is open for new sign-ups at this point. We feel the world is solid enough, at least in publishing, to give the decade ahead a…
