Insider’s Guide Webinar Workshops…
INSIDER’S GUIDE Workshops… Yup, we changed the name. And are now taking sign-ups. They are webinar workshops, with a combination of recorded videos and a weekly in-person session webinar. Four weeks long. The workshop will have five or six recorded videos per week, plus an assignment, then the four live webinar chats, one per week, to answer questions and such after everyone has had time to go through the videos and assignments. Yup, you get to ask me questions directly. And listen to other writer’s questions. I think this will be great fun. We will limit it to 10 writers plus the Lifetime Subscribers. (Lifetime Subscribers get in if they…

Lifetime Subscriptions to Workshops and Lectures
Finally Available… The numbers of workshops we now have available has gotten amazing. From the new Pop-Up workshops which worked great from my side, to the Classic workshops, to the Strengths, to the Regular Monthly workshops. Thousands of videos about writing. If you would have told me it would build to this five years ago, I would have screamed and run into the street. But honestly, looking at it now, because of the workshops and putting them together, I am a much, much better writer. And I have had a blast. And I am still having fun and just as passionate about learning as I was five years ago. You…

Fun Reading Time
Great Stories and Stuff… I am at a fun time I go through every year. I have a massive number of really good short stories to read for the anthology workshop. I actually look forward to this every year, to be honest. I am also finishing up the last notes on the novel challenge and will get those back in the next day or so to everyone in the last novel challenge. So really fun writing there as well. So having fun reading. Not as much fun as writing, but still great fun. And also writing the interstitials for Fiction River: Hard Choices. That’s great fun looking back over those…

Workshop Bundles Now Available
Finally Getting To This… We have talked about offering workshop bundles for some time now, but didn’t get started on it until we finally got the Advanced Business Lectures done and did that bundle through Teachable. So now, if your plans are to take more than one thing going forward, we can give you a discount if you buy a number of them. And once you buy the bundle, you can take the workshops or lectures at your own pace. Here at Superstars I have gotten a number of questions about wanting to sign up all at once for a bunch of things, so since we had this worked out,…

Well That Was Fun… Not!
Tsunami Watch… Off the shore of Alaska tonight there was a big quake and one buoy showed a thirty-foot rise, so alerts and watches went out all over, from Alaska down to California and Mexico. Now here on the Oregon Coast, we have two of our three retail stores, including our bookstore, about eight feet above sea level. Even a ten foot surge which would have hit at about a plus-four foot high tide. That would have done real damage to our stores. So Kris and I were monitoring everything we could for the last two hours. Billy, our store manager was doing the same. And so was Allyson, the…
