• Fun Stuff,  Kickstarter Campaign,  workshops

    Ends At 7PM West Coast Time Thursday!!!

    Only Hours Left… And we hit the 5th stretch goal, so more free books and another free Pop-Up writers’ workshop for all backers of any reward. As I write this there are just 20 hours left on the WMG Holiday Spectacular 2021. But that is enough time for you to back a reward and get everything, including the nifty 38 original stories calendar. And remember the two special classes in this one. And discounts for other workshops at the bottom. Plus the really cool part of getting an original holiday story every day from November 25th to January 1st.  That is 38 original stories. Yes, original stories!! If you are…

We will offer both workshops twice. You have your choice of…

    Some Clean Up… And Writing Stuff

    Special Workshop Codes Are Out… First, if you signed up for a special workshop in the last Kickstarter, either Making Place a Character or How to Use the Rule of Three, the links and codes are out. If you were signed up for one or both of those workshops, and didn’t get a letter from me with the Subject Line “Special Workshop” (or Workshops), please check your spam filter over the next day or so.

    That Was Close…

    Almost Missed Doing a Blog… Day 3,351 in a row writing something here. Got done with all the workshop stuff, including starting the last of the October new workshops, then went back to my writing computer to work on a novel, then after a few thousand words headed to watch some television. Then after a short time, headed for bed. I was just about to doze off when I wondered what I had written about on my blog. I couldn’t remember. Then it dawned on my that I couldn’t remember because I hadn’t done it. Didn’t want to get up, almost tossed it in right there, but I climbed out.…

Those two are not available for sale, but the eight October regular workshops are available and there is a half-price sale going on. See the last two posts for information. I have two more chapters in the Wet Blanket Reality book done, both on the next steps a writer goes through with agents to get to being traditionally published. So stay tuned for that. Or as they say in traditional publishing, “Hurry Up and Wait.” (Not kidding.) Remember the two new six-week regular workshops, POWER WORDS starting tomorrow and…
