Challenges for 2025…

I Love Challenges…

Of course, most of you know that. And at some point I will be talking here about my personal challenge and goal for 2025.

Today, I sent out a letter to everyone in the three Beautiful Trophy Award challenges for 2024 to see how they were doing and to get a sense of how many trophies we will need to have hand made. If you did not get that letter, make sure your email is turned on with WMG Teachable.

The “Beautiful Trophy Awards” are hand-blown glass floats made in small glass shops on the Oregon Coast. They are stunningly beautiful and every one is different. We will have to order them done and shipped to us, then shipped to those won the challenges in 2024. We will take pictures when they get to us here, of course.

And I might keep one for myself just because I survived 2024.

Well, this year we are doing it again. Three challenges to pick from with Beautiful Trophy Awards plus credits.

— Write 2025 Words A Day for 2025…

— Write as many or more words in 2025 as I do…

— Write Half as Many Words in 2025 as I do…

And those three challenges are half price for the 12 Days of Writer Workshops Sale… See below for information.

Twelve Days of Workshop Sales…

General Information… We are going to offer one new workshop a day for 12 days on sale. (Yes, you can get a previous day’s class as well, but the discounts on the earlier classes may decrease as the sale goes on, so better to grab one sooner than wait.)

We will reveal each workshop and sale price each day here.

DAY 1…. KRIS AND DEAN SUGGEST A CLASS TO TAKE…

How it works… You send me one of your own short stories. Both Kris and I will read it very quickly, within a day or so, discuss it, and suggest from what we see in your story what class you could take to really improve your writing craft. Then we will give you a code to take that class for no extra charge.

That’s right, both Kris and I read your short story, suggest a class to jump your skill level, and then give you a code to take the class when you want for free. How cool is that???

Cost is $200.  Write me and I will tell you where to send the fee and also where to send the short story and with what subject line. (No subscriptions or credits apply on this one. No worries, they will on classes coming up.)

Questions on either first two days of this sale, write me.

And remember, as the sale goes on, the earlier discounts will reduce.
