Learning in 25 Books

LEARNING IN 25 BOOKS

That’s right, here comes the NaNoWriMo challenge starting up in November. And last year I was lucky enough to be a part of a bundle of how-to-write books.

This year, I am lucky enough to be a part of that bundle again with the How To Write Fiction Sales Copy book. 13 books this year, plus the 12 from last year are all being offered together.

You can get the new bunch, or for $25.00 you can get all 25 writing books from both years.

And the new group includes Writing the Blockbuster Novel by Albert Zuckerman and also the impossible-to-find Writing to the Point by Algis Budrys.

THE DAY

Not much today. Some running around, some exercise, once with a friend, another time with Kris, so ended up with 10,000 steps today. And I worked on Smith’s Monthly and some workshop stuff.

Took a long nap, watched some television, then wrote 2,100 words in two sessions on the novel that will seemingly never end.

PATREON SUPPORTERS

Tomorrow or Saturday you will be getting one of the non-fiction books I just finished. And a day or so after that the next issue of Smith’s Monthly. Stay tuned.

Great New Mystery Bundle

My mystery novel, COLD CALL is now in a fantastic new bundle of stories called The Dark Justice Mystery Bundle.

TOPIC OF THE NIGHT: Learning in 25 Books

Learning writing and the business of writing comes in bits here and details there. I have said that a great deal here.

It’s why Kris and I watch The Voice, to keep learning. It’s why we teach. And talk with other writers. You just never know when you will hear a bit of learning that will help you or your writing business.

I can’t even imagine having these 25 writing books for $25 available to me when I started.

I paid a lot of money for some of the books here and am looking forward to reading others. I have three copies of the Zuckerman book and an older, treasured copy of the Budrys book.

If you want to be a writer and don’t understand how incredible a deal Kevin J. Anderson has put together for you, not much I can do to help you.

You won’t agree with everything in every book, but be open to learning and this year you have a major chance to do just that.
