Yes, I Am Now the Editor of Writers of the Future…
You Heard That Right… Jody Lynn Nye is the coordinating judge, so she and Kary English will work together to get the top manuscripts to all the judges each quarter. After all the judging is done, the manuscripts will go into Writers of the Future and the names will be put back on them and I will get to work with the authors and put the book together and so on. The folks at Galaxy Press and Author Services are maybe the nicest, friendliest, and most hard-working people I have ever had the pleasure to know. And working with them will be a fantastic pleasure. As I said, I was…

GREAT AWARD CEREMONY
Writers of the Future was once again amazing. Jody Lynn Nye was announced as the new corordinating judge of the contest and I was announced as the new editor of Writers of the Future. Yes, you heard that right, I am the new editor and considering I was the first person to ever walk across the stage 38 years ago, I am stunned and honored. I will still be a judge as well. Jody and the rest of the judges (including me) will find the great stories out of all those sent in. Then it will be my job to put the volume together and work with the writers. So…

At Writers of the Future
Tomorrow I Put On a Tux… That will be a stunner. And I will have some news when I get home on Saturday. If you follow the live stream of the awards show, you will hear the news. But it will be fun. The group of writers this year is amazing and hungry and actually staying up late to listen and talk and learn. Had a great dinner tonight with Larry Elmore, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and others. Way too much great food. Year #38 tomorrow ends. I was the very first winner across the stage 38 years ago. Just amazing how time flies. So tomorrow a Tux once again. Pictures…

Dictating Gold Almost Gone
REPEAT REMINDER Kevin J Anderson can show you how it is done TO DICTATE NOVELS. I am repeating this because if you have thought of dictating, you want this and it is never offered anywhere. On Kevin’s Dan Shamble Kickstarter campaign, he has the raw audio files of the entire new book he dictated, untouched. If you ever thought of wanting to dictate fiction, listen to how Kevin does it. The entire raw file at the $100 reward level. No professional author who dictates ever lets anyone see their raw file. This is the chance to get one for his new book and learn from the entire raw file, first…

Thinking of Dictating?
Kevin J Anderson can show you how it is done. On Kevin’s Dan Shamble Kickstarter campaign, he has the raw audio files of the entire new book he dictated, untouched. If you ever thought of wanting to dictate fiction, listen to how Kevin does it. The entire raw file at the $100 reward level. No professional author who dictates ever lets anyone see their raw file. This is the chance to get one for his new book and learn from the entire raw file, first word to last. Plus you get a copy of the ebook to compare it to. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM… Kickstarter campaign only has 44 hours left…

Secrets Going Classic
Secrets of Craft Workshop…. Going to classic. That’s right, we only offerer it once, but the class turned out to not be what Kris and I were hoping, so in this next week I will move it to Classic status, as well as a couple others I have been meaning to do. So before the sale is over, there will be new Classic Workshops. Stay Tuned! Remember, if you want to get anything on Teachable at half price, including the new Lifetime Subscription to All Pop-Ups, just find the class and hit Purchase and then put in the code SpringSale and hit apply and you will get the class for…

Watched Bridgerton
Yes, I Watched a Regency… For the second year in a row. Four episodes in the last two days. Kris had to explain a bunch of stuff to me, but some pretty good acting and the characters were likable, so I’ll watch the third season if there is one. Interesting difference in plotting from this show to others. These episodes were mostly an hour in length and if the characters had only talked, nothing would have happened, but as it was not a lot happens. Where, say, The Rookie fifty things happen, ten viewpoints, and a ton of stuff, and it is only 15 minutes into the episode. When Magnum…
