Main Caper Workshop Over…
Novella Caper Workshop Starting Up… You had to have taken the study along caper or been here in Vegas at the regular caper workshop to take the novella one. It was a fun four days and I learned a bunch, let me tell you. Now starting on Monday night for us, and Tuesday for the Expo, next week is going to be the Licensing Expo. WMG Publishing will have a suite in the Luxor that will be a meeting place for writers every night starting Monday night ahead of the expo. I will be putting out information on the suite on the Master Business Class in the next few days…

Feels Great!
Workshop Going On Here… Can’t begin to say how fantastic if feels after two long years to have an in-person workshop going on here in town again. And having writing discussions in person with other writers. Just smiling. Kris is teaching this one and will teach one in July and then I get to teach one in September and November. So super fun. And next week is the Licensing Expo. Later this week on the Master Class, I will put up more information for those coming about the WMG Suite and how to even begin to deal with the Expo. Those are going to be fun days as well, with…

Just Waiting
Kickstarter is Jammed… Just been waiting now for nine days for Kickstarter to approve our new campaign so we can launch it. Seems everyone should give them more time in the future. They wrote me and apologized and said they were doing the best they could. If approved tomorrow, I’ll give them the extra days. But from now on out we put campaigns in for approval two weeks ahead of when we want to launch. Just never expected this. So with luck, tomorrow, I might do a post here with a link that we have launched. But I am not holding my breath, even though there is nothing wrong with…

Too Much In One Day…
I Managed A Ton of Stuff Today… But unless I get going now, going to miss the night’s story. Worked on Smith’s Monthly layout and recorded a bunch of the lectures from Kris’s class this coming week for the Study Along class online, Exercised some while Kris was using my computer to record videos for the Study Along class online. Cooked dinner, and then worked on the books for the challenge and more on Smith’s Monthly. I finally came up with a name for the entire series of books that will hold all the stories. Challenge Accepted Each book will have 33 stories in it, plus an introduction. If I…

Giant Praying Mantis Firing Flames…
While a Giant Light-Covered Mushroom Changes Colors… Friday night in Las Vegas… The twenty-five foot metal praying mantis shoots long streams of flames from both nostrils without warning, scaring the wits out of tourists. Not sure praying mamtis have nostrils, but I won’t go there. And oldies music plays, sometimes to the beat of the fire. The mantis is in front of the container park on Fremont and we can see the flames clearly from out place. Now, just tonight, someone at the historical school park between our place and the praying mantis installed a forty-foot massive mushroom covered in lights that change color. I walked down to stand near…

Sitting and Laughing….
Just Couldn’t Stop Laughing… I got sent this newsletter that I tend to read every month. It is from a major traditional published person, a former editor and so on, who has her head so far up the ass of traditional publishing, I have no idea how she sees anything clearly. And she often does not. She pretends to pay attention to indie publishing, then does a sad and so uninformed piece of Pay-to-Publish, I got disgusted. But that is not what made me sit and just laugh and have a hard time stopping this afternoon. She did an article about how the AALA (American Association of Literary Agents) revised…

Running Late Tonight
Just Got a Late Start On the Story… So I am here, writing this around 3 am, which is late for me this last week or so. Ahh, well. (Didn’t help that my printer ran out of toner.) And no sleeping in tomorrow because got to put the final touches on a new Kickstarter campaign that is really, really cool. Not sure when we are launching just yet. Might be tomorrow, so stay tuned. This Kickstarter is for Kris’s different series, basically a Starter Kit of ten of the stories and novels that start ten of her series. All together. And, of course, you can get all the books in…

Flash Sale Ends Today!!
Wednesday at 7 PM West Coast Time… So I hope anyone who wanted to keep studying writing and publishing through this Time of Great Forgetting got something they wanted. Our hope in doing this was to help fight all the distractions of this time period. Maybe we should call this period the death of streaks period. The death of yearly goals period. Easier just to call it the time period when writers just flat forget about their writing and publishing. Things That Help… Be a full-time professional fiction writer who needs to earn a living. (Yup, by that point, you are done with this problem.) Have deadlines that are important…
