How to Achieve Your Dreams…

New Workshop Up…

Got a hunch that some writers are going to return from the land of The Time of Great Forgetting and wished they had started this. It starts on June 10th and goes for 9 weeks, so right into the first week or so of August, after the Time has cleared for most.

Get it on Teachable.  Here is the blurb about it…

HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS

A step-by-step guide to Writing More, Getting More Readers, and Making a Living with Your Writing.

9 week class given by New York Times bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith and planned by both Dean and New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch together.

There will be eight assignments to help you get to the heart of how to achieve your dreams in writing.

Starts June 10th… Cost is $500.

TWO GREAT SPECIAL WORKSHOPS IN THE COMING KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN…

The Mary Jo Assassin Kickstarter campaign starts on Tuesday at noon and I am beyond excited about the two special workshops with this one.

Here are the blurbs…

— Workshop #1… How To Know the Difference between Villains, Victims, and Heroes…

This is a special three-week workshop on how to write about the difference between Villains, Victims, and Heroes. Mary Jo Assassin kills people for a living. The people she kills are not really victims and she is not really a hero or a villain. How do you know and write about the difference?

— Workshop #2… HOW TO WRITE ABOUT PLACES YOU DON’T LIVE IN AND HAVE NEVER SEEN… AND MAKE THEM REAL…

This is a special three-week workshop on how to write about places you have never seen or lived in and yet make readers think you know the places completely. Far more than just looking it up on Google Earth or researching it. So, so much more.

There are some writing techniques for doing that kind of reality in a story that will be taught in this class. Wonder why your settings just don’t come alive like other writers can do. You can learn how to make them live right here.

And, of course, you get the four MARY JO ASSASSIN books if you sign up for a workshop and I will be reading the stories from the third week for Pulphouse. (If I like it, I will ask you to send it back if you want.)

The two sessions will start on July 8th and 29th.
