Hit an Exhaustion Wall

I Bet This is Familiar To Most of You…

Going along just fine one moment, into the story, and then suddenly I could barely keep my eyes open or see the screen. Something to do with about four hours sleep last night I am betting. (grin)

But got about 1,600 new words on the Marble Grant novel, so closer to finishing so I can start the new book, whatever that might be.

I ended up today getting up way early, then spent the afternoon in meetings and doing some exercise for the first time in a while as well (That might have contributed to the suddenly loss of a brain and energy. You think? (grin))

I had a wonderful lunch with a couple friends, then worked up at WMG until I went home at 9 p.m. to cook dinner. Then back up to WMG and worked there until about one getting up the April Regular Workshops on Teachable. (All there now and ready for sign-ups.)

Then home for a little television, then into here to do email before heading to the writing computer.

So now that I type all that out, I realize it is a major miracle I got words done at all today. A win. Just going back over all that made me tired. (grin)

— Insider’s Guide to Writing Serial Fiction (2,000 word parts of a novel) (Starts May 6th)
–— Insider’s Guide to Writing Detective Fiction. (Starts May 6th)

Got some questions on these and a bunch of sign-ups. They are going to be fun. So let me give you the top questions I got.

Question #1… Can I record the live webinar sessions? Yes, but not going to because there will be a bunch of people on the feed. So not going to happen. And nope, I doubt these will be come classics in any way.

Question #2… Timing on the webinar parts? I got more details on the post yesterday, but here is the timing. Short Fiction at 11 a.m. Sunday West Coast Time. Space Opera at 1 p.m. West Coast Time. The recorded parts and assignment will open up on April 8th, first Webinar on April 15th. And so on. The two May workshops follow the same pattern.

Question #3… Will they be on Teachable.com? Yes, the basic stuff will be there in a few days to sign up as well as better descriptions, but the best way right now is to sign up by writing me and paying the fee through Paypal to make sure you have a slot.

Question #4… How do Lifetime Subscribers sign up? You don’t have to. You are automatically in, no limits, although there aren’t that many Lifetime Subscribers yet. When I get the workshops loaded to Teachable I will automatically load it into the Lifetime Subscription.

That’s it. Good questions, writers signed up on all four new workshops. Kris and I are excited to put these together.

$300 each, limited to ten writers plus lifetime subscribers. One time workshops. They will not be regular. Sorry. These will fill so don’t wait for the last minute on these.
