July Workshops Available
Including Both Writing Time Travel and Writing Westerns… A great list in July, but they start early this year, the 2nd and 3rd. So keep that in mind. You can still do the first week after the big US holiday, but the workshops start before the holiday. Lifetime subscribers, I will get the Writing Western workshop over into the subscription this next week. Interesting how many new workshops we have done this year. Four different Futures workshops, Emotion, Time Travel, and now Writing Westerns. Seven new workshops and the year is just half done. And four older workshops moved to Classic. So at $300 a workshop, just this spring came…

Had Fun Today
First Day of the Licensing Expo… Wow, is that place massive. And I learned a ton. I talked about my day in three videos on the License Learn Along and put up a dozen or so pictures. I will be doing more posting over the next two days and then a bunch for three or four days after as I get rested and the information comes together. Then over the next few weeks I will talk about how Kris and I are digesting the information. You can still sign up on the Licensing Learn Along. What I can also say for sure after today is that the Master Business Class in…

Learn Along With Dean
Learn Along with Dean in the 2019 Licensing Expo… This is a one-of-a-kind thing. Not a workshop, not a lecture, not a study along. Here is the introduction video and then below the explanation of this crazy idea. For almost two months before the 2019 Licensing Expo, Kristine Kathryn Rusch and I have been preparing to attend. Kris walked part of the floor last year with a friend and realized at once that we (and WMG Publishing) needed to attend in full learning mode this year. So we have been getting ready. (You can’t believe how much we have done in the last month or so.) In fact, just today, as…

June Workshops and Descriptions
Time Travel Workshop Available… Plus I have below some of the descriptions of the Futures workshops, all four of them, and the description of the Emotions workshop and Time Travel workshop. I also have a list of all the different workshops now available. An amazing list. All this is on Teachable, of course, and that is where you would sign up unless you have a credit. If you have a workshop credit, write me. The four Futures workshops also have a bundle on Teachable that you can get all four cheaper if you buy the bundle. So first off, the June listing of Regular Workshops now available. Then all the…

Free Lecture, Classic Workshop, and Workshop Discounts
Plus Some Fantastic Reading… Kris has a new Diving novel coming out this fall. It is huge, meaning 260,000 words. And she wanted to get it to her fans ahead of time, so she is doing a Kickstarter project. The name of the novel is THE RENEGAT. If you back the campaign at any level, you will get a copy of the book early, months before it comes out regularly. Also, Kris did two really cool special books for this Kickstarter. She took all her deleted sections and pieces from both THE RENEGAT and other Diving novels, did some essays, and put them together. It takes up two books and…

That Was Nuts
Got a Lot of Response… I asked yesterday, just giving names of three workshops, which workshop people would like the best. I was sort of torn between which one to do or do none at all for the next few months. So figured I would ask for opinions. And I got a lot, both in comments and in private letters. Thank you, one and all. And I suppose if I call this an unofficial pole, then this is the result. Time Travel 21 votes Western 20 votes Attitude 19 votes. Well, that sure didn’t give me the big boost toward one or the other. But it did tell me that…

April Workshops Now All Live
Including the New Emotions Workshop… And even stranger, I am back writing again yesterday and today after our week out of touch worrying about our good friend Allyson Longuiera. She came through the brain surgery wonderfully and is now home and resting. Things at WMG Publishing will still be a little crazy for a time until Allyson returns, but Gwyneth and Josh are fantastic there and keeping things running as smoothly as can be expected without the boss in her chair. And everything with the workshops, The Great Challenge, and Ask Kris Anything webinar are going on as planned. Allyson wan’t involved in those except for planning stages and giving…
