Reading a Lot of Great Stories
Study Along Workshop for Thriller/Humor I have been amazed at a number of things. First off, how many writers got stories in for this workshop. Writing thriller/humor short stories is a tough challenge and a lot of writers tried it. So that impressed me. Second thing that impressed me with the first assignment was how good they were overall. Some great mysteries and a bunch of writers actually hit thriller/humor short stories. Then with the story in 40 hours, a lot of writers made the deadline and again the stories were great. And the third story deadline of 24 hours had about three times as many stories as I expected,…

Internet Issues
So One of These Blogs… Writing this to load with the hot spot on my phone. Seems Tuesday night around midnight is a good time for the cable people to do work. Annoying. My eye is just about done with screen time for the day. Read a large number of great stories for the Thriller/Humor workshop, and did a lot of regular assignments for workshops and a ton of other stuff. So busy, but just about done. My eye is getting tired. So remember the Kickstarter has hit four stretch goals, which means three free Pop-Up classes on world building in science fiction. And more to come. And two really…

Copyright
Basic Nuts and Bolts Copyright For Writers Just posted the copyright class as a stand-alone class as well as part of the Master Business Class, which now has 15 different classes as part of it, and more to come. Very straight forward, here is what you need to know. Going to be getting into licensing soon in the master business class, so Kris and I wanted to make sure everyone had the copyright foundation since most writers just never get around to it. Also in the master business class going to be posting information in the next week or so about the Licensing Expo and what we are doing there…

Another Friday Night
Over The Years… I think it is a total miracle that I have not missed on this blog on a Friday night. Some of you know I tended bar for 17 years, and just about always on a Friday night. So back in 1987, when I went freelance with writing and editing and publishing, I swore I would never spend another Friday night or another New Year’s Eve in a bar. But for some reason, after 35 years of not going anywhere on Friday night, the itch to go out and do something on Friday night is still there. I never want to do anything in reality, but it is…

Back Working and Writing
Having Fun with the Writing… Other stuff is work. (grin) Doing my obligatory blog tonight ahead of the time change and then headed to get some sleep. I recorded the Motivational Monday videos tonight, and also recorded the third week of Secrets. And I hope everyone who was supposed to get the nine Pop-Up Mystery classes got them all right. If not, check your spam filter and then if still not there, contact subscriptions at WMGbooks on Monday. In this upcoming Seeders Kickstarter, we decided to do the same ten Pop-Up focused classes, only instead of mystery, we are aiming them at science fiction. And we are going to make…

Pop-Ups From Campaign
Headed Your Way in the Morning… So watch your email tomorrow and if you don’t have them by Monday, contact Josh. Everyone who supported the Crimes Collide got these nine Pop-Up classes focused on mystery. They are $150 each, so everyone got $1,350 in value in classes, not counting all the extra books. Everyone got nine of the ten in this Who, What, and How to Study series because the campaign did that well, but didn’t make the last stretch reward. Now again, these will not be sent out until Friday, so don’t get ahead of WMG on this. And the 10th one in the series is not finished yet,…
