Fantastic New StoryBundle
How Many Worlds Can Be Saved? I set off to put this Storybundle called Saving the World together with a goal. I wanted to find as many ways as possible to save the world and as many worlds as possible to save. I figured that would be really fun for me to read and I hoped that a lot of you would feel the same. And what I was lucky enough to end up with is eight novels and two major collections of short stories, all fantastic. And fun. And on top of that, four of the books in this bundle can ONLY be found in this bundle. That’s right,…

One Day Left…
Almost to the Second Stretch Goal… Only one day left in the Kickstarter. You get 35 original holiday stories sent to you, one per day during the holidays, plus all kinds of other great stuff. Time is running out to get in on this original and fun idea. And we are well on the way to the second stretch goal, which means more great reading. So help us hit that and get some great reading through the holiday season by some top short fiction writers. And if you want great discounts for workshops and lectures, you have just one day to get them. And trust me, after doing two Kickstarter…

New Videos in Shared Worlds Class
Four New Videos… About the large shared worlds everyone thinks about when they think of a shared world. This class is just getting started and will last for nine months. So all the videos here at the beginning are basic stuff. But I wanted to detail out each type and level of shared world in the first month or so, and that’s what this is, four videos about the big guns, the Star Trek, Marvel, Star Wars, and so on. Not teaching you how to write for any of those. That is not what this class is about. The class is about how you can create a shared world of…

The Promised Pictures
Completed the 10K… (6.2 mile run) It wasn’t pretty, but I did it. Actually, the course turned out to be 3.1 miles uphill to start, and it turned out to be a ton warmer than I expected. All desert and concrete. So I got overheated, which for a person with my heat history, is not a good thing. And the hill made it harder for a person like me who is still too heavy. I managed to stay hydrated just fine and slowed down some to even walking and running, so didn’t hit the time I was hoping for. But finished alive and without heatstroke. Win. So here are some…

Friday Night In The Fall…
So For Me That Means An Early Run in the Morning… In fact, up at 6:30 am or so tomorrow, three or more hours before I normally get up. And tomorrow I am running a 10K (little over six miles) instead of my normal 5k runs. Seems like all fall there are runs on the weekends. Great fun, actually. My time goal is under 70 minutes, although I would love, love, love to get it under an hour. But got a hunch I will do a little too much walking to hit that. And I am still a little too heavy. We shall see how it goes. 70 minutes is…

Five Days Left in the Holiday Spectacular Kickstarter
GREAT STORIES AND REWARDS… Only five days left in the Kickstarter. You get 35 original holiday stories sent to you, one per day during the holidays, plus all kinds of other great stuff. And we are well on the way to the second stretch goal, which means more great reading. These campaigns tend to go fast toward the end, so we might make more than one more, I hope. And if you want great discounts for workshops and lectures, you have five days to get them. So give it a look. WMG Holiday Spectacular. And if you want to have Kris explain exactly what this is all about, watch this…

Misc. Stuff To Talk About and Pictures
Paypal Off on Some Workshops… Teachable is working on the problem, so if you would like to pay for a workshop through Paypal and the Paypal option does not appear, just go directly to Paypal and then send the payment to the following email address: LasVegasWorkshops@wmgbooks.com Then write me and let me know which workshop you sent the money for and I will send you a code to get into it. You can do exactly the same thing if you want to support the WMG Holiday Spectacular, but don’t want to go through Kickstarter. It will count and you will get all the stretch rewards and everything. HIT STRETCH GOAL!!…

November and December Regular Workshops
Only Six Regular Workshops Per Month… As I said, a lot of workshops are headed to Classic Status in the first of November, and with teaching the How to Write a Pulphouse Story and How to Write a Holiday Story workshops in the next two months, we decided to not add in any more new regular workshops in the next two months. But there will be new regular workshops after the first of the year. And you can still sign up on the How to Write a Holiday Story for seven more days on Kickstarter through the WMG Holiday Spectacular. That is the only place that workshop is offered. It…

Shared World Second Update
First Videos Going Up… They will be there later today. Not there yet. But there are still a few openings, so here is the first post about the nine-month Shared Worlds class. And my introduction video at the bottom of this. And for those of you in the class, I will email you to let you know every time I put up new videos so you don’t always have to be checking. SHARED WORLDS: What Are They, How to Do Them, and Why… This is a one-of-a-kind class. Not a workshop, not a lecture, not a study along. For years now, Kris and I have tried to figure out how…
