Copyright Valuation… A Sort of Rant…
Or Maybe Just Puzzlement… Before I start on the rant, a reminder that the workshop discount I offered in the Monday blog will expire late on Friday night. Don’t miss it. —– This story starts at Superstars. Kevin J. Anderson and his wonderful crew had set up some panels on estate planning for writers and I was sitting in all of them. So was Kevin. Kevin and I and Kris are all working hard on dealing with our estates after two of our friends died without even a will. We all have wills and such, but we want to take everything to the next step. We all want our estates…

Having Fun
I Love Time Travel Stories… And I really love time travel romance stories. My favorite Lifetime Christmas movie is the old trope of letters through time through an old mailbox. They made it work. Amazing for those kinds of movies. Well, right now I am teaching (with Kris’s help, of course), a Time Travel Romance Study Along. I was going to teach it as an in-person class as well, but only a couple signed up, so I am having fun with the Study Along. And getting to read some amazing stories. Eye is slowly getting better, so that I can. Yay! If you ask why I can teach a romance…

Wow! A Lot of March Classes Starting
I Said 12 Classes Starting… But forgot a few of the special workshops from the Kickstarters. The two fantasy start Tuesday for their second session and the science fiction ones start in a week (I will contact you this coming week). And I also did not count the Study Along which is keeping me crazy busy reading as best I can. I am still very slow at that. And fun to see how many people read to the bottom of yesterday’s blog. Just a little Easter Egg, I guess some people call it. Anyway, again here are the workshops that are starting that are available to everyone… These are all…

In-Person Workshops Have Room!
Both May and July Classes Have Openings… Both are taught by Kris and both are a go, meaning we have enough signed up and have confirmed the dates with the hotel and have contracts with them. The workshops are in Las Vegas at Resorts World, and we have a special room rate with the hotel for those attending. May is ROMANTIC SUSPENSE… The reading list was just posted for this on the Study Along class on Teachable (if you can’t come in person, take the Study Along.) There are two spots open here in Vegas. July is FANTASY THRILLER (also taught by Kris). There are three spots open. (And yes,…

Your Favorite?
Michael La Ronn Does His Favorites… Michael La Ronn, who is a great writer and also has an amazing YouTube channel, decided to do his top ten favorite WMG Workshops and Classes. It is amazing video, fun and well done. Watch it. I have it posted below. Thanks, Michael. He describes some of the classes far, far better than I can because he is coming from the student side of things. But WMG Publishing has over 300 different active workshops, classes, lectures, and extra fun stuff about writing and publishing on Teachable. And more starting up every month. Yes, it is a lot. Any aspect of writing and publishing you…

The Promised Running Post
I Finished… It was not pretty, but I finished and that is all that counts. A number of days back I did a post about finishing the 5K on Saturday in cold and wind and stunning amounts of rain. What I didn’t mention that was when I got home after a fun dinner with Lisa and Ron Collins and Brenda and Dave Hendrickson, four hours had gone by and when I took my shoes off, there was a puddle on the floor and my socks were soaking wet. And worse yet, my feet looked like prunes and all my carefully built-up protection from blisters was gone. Now, I am stunningly…

Last Hours of Special and of Kickstarter… Both the Teachable special and THE NEW DIVING NOVEL Kickstarter end on the same day at the same time. 7PM Thursday West Coast Time That is about 19 hours from when I type this.
