Introduction to A Class About Learning…
A FIFTY YEAR PERSPECTIVE OF LEARNING… As I said last night, this year marks 50 years since I sold my first two short stories (and started selling a lot of poetry as well.) Over those 50 years, I was stunningly lucky to have some amazing mentors (who also became friends.) Jack Williamson, Damon Knight, Kate Wilhelm, Algis Budrys, Harlan Ellison, Frederick Pohl, Julius Schwartz, and others. As I said, stunningly lucky. So I figured that since I am still around after 50 years of selling fiction and they all told me a lot of great stuff, I am going to do a nine-week class talking about and telling stories about…

Summary of New Classes…
I Didn’t Get Enough Reading Done Today to Comment in General on Stories… So I figured that there might be a class that got missed that we started in all the craziness of the first of this year. So here is a summary of classes available now to jump into. CREATIVE SURVIVAL… Four videos every Monday morning on how to survive a lot of stuff. 52 weeks of stuff, actually. I just put up the fourth week, so a good time to jump in. Find this on Teachable. MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY… We did this three years back and decided it would be fun to do a brand new batch of videos…

Available….
Some Classes Started And Still Available… I just posted the third week of 52 weeks of both the MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY and CREATIVE SURVIVAL classes. Every Monday morning you have four videos each class. All year long. This week on CREATIVE SURVIVAL was basically about standing up for your own work. MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY was uplifting with a great quote from Charles de Lint as the pithy comment of the week. Both of these are still available on Teachable to get either as a full year or by the quarter. Now that the first of the year has settled in a little, these might help you keep on track. DIRECTED STUDY…. Also…

Working on the Challenges from Last Year…
Yes, I am slow… Mostly because things like not even getting into this office until after eight this evening. PT and doctors can really suck up a day. (grin) So I am reading the stories for Pulphouse and also alternating with doing the letters to get everyone credit for last year’s challenges. And we have an in person workshop starting here on Monday (with the Study Along) and also doing some work on the anthology workshop next July. Less than ten spots open for that. Filling quickly. Write me for information. Still don’t have an exact week but we hope by the first of February. It will be in July.…

A Second Shared World Class
SHARED WORLDS: Part One and Now Part Two What Are Shared Worlds, How to Do Them, and Why? Part Two… More Information and Advanced! For years now, Kris and I have tried to figure out how to teach shared worlds as a topic to writers to get the most benefit for writers. Both of us have written in so many shared worlds, we couldn’t begin to count. From the major shared worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars, to the more subtle shared worlds of say the WMG Holiday Spectacular. And everything in between. There are thousands of reasons indie writers and publishers would want to set up one form…
