    More Interesting Conversations

    Even More Really Interesting Conversations… Not only did I have a fun conversation at lunch today with three other professional writers, but tonight four of us found an area off to one side of the Anchor and talked for almost two hours. All about business. The workshop has a policy of no blogging about the workshop until after it’s over, so thus the vagueness of these posts. But one more day of fun, then back to normal here. And to some fun posts and announcements that might just surprise a few of you. I know it’s been fun here. ————— March Workshops Start Tuesday and Wednesday!! Below is the list…

    Filler Tonight

    Day 1,257… Not doing a full post tonight because I have spent the entire day either reading or on this computer and my eye needs a rest. But it was a fun day and a good one.

    The Voice Started Tonight

    Here we go again… One of the best learning experiences for writers is starting up again. Over the coming weeks I’ll talk about things the coaches say about the art and craft. It all applies to writing in so many ways and on so many levels. But one thing that started to shine through tonight is the work ethic of those trying to get on the show. I only got to watch the first half of the first night. But already great stuff. Also, how the artists have to put themselves into the work. In an hour that was said over and over. Free learning about art and craft and…

    Saturday Night Reading

    Still finishing up some reading… Just about done. Which, actually, is kind of sad. I haven’t enjoyed reading this many great stories in a long time. I will be back reporting page counts, stories done, novels done, and all that shortly, including the exercise routine. (grin) Plus I have a few more rants/blogs/questions for this coming week that might be fun to talk about. We shall see. Don’t forget… just over a week until the March online workshops fire up. Openings in all of them at the moment.

    Some Help If You Can for Ted White

    Yes, one of the great editors in the history of science fiction and fantasy needs a little help. I was surprised when I saw this pop up tonight. I did not realize Ted was still alive. And that he is only 13 years older than I am. I never managed to sell him anything, but still liked him. Now it appears he needs a little help, so click on the link and read his letter and see if you can spare a few bucks to help him stay in his childhood home. https://www.gofundme.com/44r62-save-my-house
