Dictation in Fiction

Dictation in Fiction

As I continue with the format for a few more days, I wanted to give out a link that might help a few of you. I get a lot of questions about dictating fiction and how it works and can it be done.

I always say that I know a bunch of people who do it, but know little about the skill. But my friend Kevin J. Anderson works that way and another friend of mine, Dan Sawyer, interviewed Kevin on this exact topic.

So if you are interested, take a listen. Pretty clear and to the point.

Kickstarter Update: We have finally figured out a few tricks on the surveys we send out to supporters to give information, so those will be going out this weekend. Also, those of you who supported with getting a workshop will be able to take the November workshops just fine. No worries.

Sorry for the confusion on the first few surveys that went out. Sort of a learning process on those. (grin)
