Sucked Down a Copyright Hole…
I Do That To Myself At Times… I am such a copyright junkie, when given the excuse, I find myself going deeper and deeper into legal articles and having so much fun. That’s where I lost a few hours tonight. If you have no idea why I would think copyright is fun, take the Magic Bakery classic workshop. Or read my book on the topic. Copyright is magic and is why WMG Publishing exists, five employees have their jobs, and Kris and I live in this fantastic new place. One place I played tonight was the 35 year rule. For example, I signed maybe 60 Work for Hire contracts in…

Business Master Class Started
Turn On Your Email on Teachable… If you are in the Business Master Class and didn’t get a letter from me tonight, you have your email off on Teachable. I will communicate a bunch in the Business Master Class and other workshops through Teachable email. Turn it on if you want announcements and other information. Just go to your Teachable dashboard. For those with it off, (meaning you did not get a letter from me) you need to go to the class and watch the first videos and there is a code there to get into Pop-Up #39 which is the first class of maybe up to 40 classed to…

Massive Movement on Move Stuff…
Not a Lot of Writing… But Kris and I completed at lunch the first class for the Business Master Class. All I got to do is record it now and get it up. I will put a couple new introduction videos on the Business Master Class as well explaining everything. So as promised, starting up here in the middle of July. I think I have one of our old condos down to only a few hours of work left before the movers come in to take boxes and stuff to storage. The other one Kris and I will tackle together. I think our hardest problem in that one, our old…

Reset In August
Not Enough Hours In the Month… Over the last seven days or so, I had been wondering why I hadn’t gotten to more hours at the computer. I was having a blast with the novel and with the writing, but just found myself doing things that needed to be done with the move and workshops. So yesterday I got the movers appointment set. It will be the 21st of the month. About 11 days I have to have everything in our old two condos boxed, the last of it moved up here to this new place that Kris and I needed to move (mostly a few books and a lot…

Day Eight
Lots of Stuff Happening… Ended up getting another 3,000 plus words done, but again not breaking up into the next level for production for no reason other than I am just doing too many other things. And the story is fun, although I have a nagging feeling it will end up shorter than longer. Considering how bumpy a start this has been, I suppose that is better. At this point anything above a novella would be a win. How It Went… Got to the writing computer right at noon again today. Got 1,000 words or so done before heading off with Kris for lunch to work on the first thing…

Day Seven
Started Back Writing… About 3,500 words today. Not a full day at it, but better and the book is fun, so all good there as well. If I was walking the deadlines of this challenge, I would have the first book done, or very close. Nope, a ways from that. I’ll get there when I get there. How Did It Go? I got up after ten hours of sleep and managed to actually sit down at my writing computer directly at noon. 12:01 pm to be precise. I thought that was funny as the days before I got to the writing computer closer to 11 pm. So did about 1,000…

Day Six
Skipped Day Five And did a ton of other things today once again and only managed a thousand words because I am so tired at the moment (12:30 am) to go back and write any more, so going for a good night’s sleep and see what tomorrow brings. Normally I would get two or three thousand more words tonight. Just nope. Not going to write any more tonight either here in this blog. I’ll catch up a bunch of stuff in tomorrow night’s post. This just keeps my blogging streak alive. Night.

Skipping a Day
Still Will Have Four Novels Done In a Month… But as I expected, today turned into a complete work on other stuff day. Except for a few breaks to work on moving or go out to lunch, I spent all day at this internet computer. All day and now into the night. No eye left for my writing computer. Why did I do this? Well, here is why… The Fantasy Collections Class started. The Heroes and Heroines Collection Class started. Vastness of Space Class started. Writing Spaceships Class started. Plus all the regular Tuesday monthly classes for July started. Those are Covers 101, Publishing 101, Writing into the Dark, and…

Day Four…
Book One… The move and workshop stuff won the day completely, along with holiday stuff. I expected it some, because I knew the move was getting close to being in a good spot and I just wanted to get it done. But then I also got out all the emails for the special workshops and also recorded one week of another. Scary busy. How Did It Go… I had every plan on getting to the writing today, more than likely in the middle of the afternoon after lunch. Ended up unloading and moving hundreds of boxes, securing shelves on walls, moving furniture into place, unloading books, and so on and…

Day Three…
Book One… The move is still the focus. Way too much, but we are gaining on it slowly each day. But another week before most of it is in place. How it Went… Once again I didn’t get to the writing computer until almost 10 pm, just way too late when I spend all day moving boxes and working on the move. And today I hung white boards in my office. Impressive looking, but wow was that a lot of work. Kris had to help me because of things like ladders. And took an almost two hour nap, something I tend to not do. (15 minutes is my nap length.)…
