First Of The Month!
Good Time To Start A Challenge… Publishing Challenge, Short Story Challenge, or Novel Challenge. All are open and a great way to keep your goals on track for the year. And a number of writers are in sight of lifetime subscriptions on the short story challenge, one on the novel challenge, and one has already gotten a lifetime subscription on the novel challenge. Keep going, folks. Only four people are signed up for the Publishing Challenge. That one seems to scare hell out of writers. (grin) This weekend I will be doing a bunch of posts about the first of March in the Decade Ahead class. And also a bunch…

Just Hit Third Stretch Goal!!
Working On the Fourth… So all supporters now, for sure, get a lecture of their choice for supporting our Year of the Cat Kickstarter. That’s worth $50.00. And you can help us get to the next stretch goal in the next 65 hours and get not only more books, but a choice of Classic Workshop worth $150. And remember, I just moved about eight workshops to classic status a few months ago. So below is the update I just posted to the Kickstarter. I hope you will help us hit that next stretch goal. Thanks!! And the nifty video Gwyneth did about finding Ruby, the cat character in the third…

Anthology Workshop
Decision Time for 2021… A week from Friday the 2020 Anthology workshop will be starting here in Las Vegas. The writers have been writing since the last week of November and now all of us are reading like crazy. The writers wrote for seven paying anthologies and one brand new major magazine. Plus I am always looking to buy for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine during this anthology workshop. But this workshop loses WMG money and we have been talking about cancelling the Anthology workshop for next year (2021), first to save the money and second to allow Fiction River to get caught up. Actually, this year there is only one Fiction…

New Videos Up
On A Bunch of Stuff… I have posted new videos on the Shared World Class and the first quarter of the Decade Ahead Class. In the next few days I will do more videos for the Licensing Transition Class as well. I also put up another weekly video on the Great Publishing Challenge and on the Great Novel Challenge. On the publishing challenge, I am doing a weekly video about my publishing progress. There are very few signed up for that challenge, but even if you sign up later on, my videos will be there. I will be doing the videos all year since the challenge to myself is to…

February Workshops Take Two
Early in the Morning… I have been at this computer now mostly for going on 17 hours, with a few breaks and a nap along the way, so I am going to just repost the February regular workshops being offered and starting on the 4th. You will see in a couple days why I spent so much time here today. Fun stuff, I can promise, he said, vaguely about a nifty Kickstarter project featuring cats. (grin) So the post about the workshops again… Now Available… Here is the list of the February 6-week workshops and descriptions about each class. And a link to each one. A really good group of…

Up Early
Two Days In A Row… I’ve spent almost all the evening tonight working on a project that will be announced early next week. A really, really fun one. And this morning I got up early for me and walked Kris to the workshop, then sat in the buffet and wrote and did more organizing for a few hours while not eating much. Tomorrow morning off to do a fun run. Not up super early, but still early enough that I will get under six hours for the second day in a row. Naps after the run will be in order. Yesterday I recorded a video about my writing for the…

Study Along Workshop
Science Fiction Craft Workshop Starting Up… And online, on Teachable, the Science Fiction Craft Workshop Study Along is starting as well. First stories are due on Friday evening. A ton of videos, more story assignments, a bunch of videos about sf books over the five days. Basically, the study along patterns what Kris is teaching here in Las Vegas. Of course, since it takes a couple months to read for the study along workshops, the science fiction one is well closed. And going to be a blast. I don’t have much to do, but I still have fun seeing people. Kris and the writers, however, are jamming. (grin) However, there…
