Sale Extended and My Challenge
Sale Extended Until Thursday Evening… We have extended the sale, meaning leave the code in place, until Thursday evening. So you can get anything on WMG Teachable for half price until Thursday by hitting purchase and then using the code YearEnd If you missed something you wanted or the sale went by and you didn’t notice until now, it’s not done yet. The reason is that we had two people ask if they could get the half price sale in a day or so, and I talked with WMG and we decided if we give it to them, we needed to just leave it open for everyone. Win/Win. So remember,…

Challenge Day One
Went Exactly As I Had Planned and Hoped… I got up late, made it to my writing computer first thing at the crack of 11:30 am, walking right past my internet and email computer. (I was so proud.) I looked at my half-title pages and came up with a first half of a title. “The Reason…” Then I kept looking for a second half to collide with it and saw… “of Death.” That hit me, so typed that into the title of my story template “The Reason of Death” and started the story. Started off in a suburb, so figured it was going to be a Bryant Street story until…

Happy New Year!
The Planet Made It Out of 2021! I’m sitting in my office about 12:30. Kris and I just finished watching the fireworks from our place, both over the Strip and over downtown of the fireworks off the Plaza. Amazingly cool for something that should not have happened, because right at the moment the wind is sustained over 20mph and gusts up to 40mph, and the fireworks should not have been fired with sustained over 10mph. News casts were all watching closely and talking about what would happen if the wind didn’t drop. We figured that not having them go off would be standard for the end of 2021. End of…

Deductions
Paying Attention to Your Taxes? If, in the best world (which I must admit almost no writers live in), you would have already figured your income for 2021 from your writing and the expenses you can take that income down to make sure you don’t pay taxes. Yeah, and cows can fly. But that is the right way to do it, and honestly, except for 2020, I come close each year to knowing exactly what WMG Publishing made and our tax situation by the last week of the month. I don’t have it to the penny, but I know. (Let’s just say that 2020 surprised me on the income to…

I Think I Am Ready…
…To Start My Challenge… For those of you new here or not following my trying to make a decision on a new challenge for 2022 all those weeks ago, here is what I decided to do in shorthand. — I will write a new short story per day every day of the year in 2022. — I will blog at least once a week, maybe twice a week about the stories being written and the days of writing. — I will do a cover for every short story as I go along and show it to you. — Each month the stories and the blogs and the covers will be…

Three New Collection Classes Are Up…
Pets, Spies, and Space Opera Those are the three topics for the nine week collection classes that have started in 2022. Pets starts in January, Spies starts in March, and Space Opera starts in May.

I will have the last three new ones posted in the next few days, along with a bundle that you can get all six new ones for the price of five. There is already a bundle there for the first six. In these classes you learn in general…

What Did I Do On My Holiday?
Got That Question a Number of Times… Answer is basically the same thing I do every normal day of the year. I worked on getting the workshop sale up and going. You can read all about that in the last two blogs. 50% off until January 4th on everything on Teachable. (Just put in the code YearEnd after you hit purchase.) I worked with Kris at lunches on more classes. I will record those soon. And I did a bunch of recording as well including the Motivational Monday I just put up a bit ago. I wore a red shirt to record those because I recorded them on Christmas. (Does…
