Interesting Math
A Focus I Didn’t Mention Yesterday… I hinted at it. That $20,000 plus I have made for the short story “In the Shade of the Slowboat Man” was for licenses (to magazines, anthologies, collections, audio play, and Hollywood options) before indie publishing. Those licenses were over the space of 30 years. So the average is about $55 per month. Considering that a full decade went by and the story made nothing, just sat in a file drawer, not bad at all. So Looking at Indie Sales… I calculated my licensing fee yesterday in that total. Now, because I own the company publishing the story, I can calculate the sales income.…

A Reminder About the August Regular Workshops…
There Are Now 9 Regular Workshops… I wanted to repeat this post from a week ago for two reasons. I wanted to make sure everyone saw the regular workshops. And secondly, it is almost 3am and I am too tired to write something new. So here is the post about the regular workshops again. Very, very few are signed up for any of them. —– Not only are we keeping the normal regular workshops, but because of the new world going on with Indie Publishing, we are bringing back THE MAGIC BAKERY six week workshop.

A Second Way to Go…
Part Three of This Series… First two parts were in my blogs the last three days. I started this off by saying I feel bad for the young writers coming into fiction publishing today.

Over the last two hundred years, these transitions have taken 25 years or so before publishing stabilizes for 40-50 years. We are around year 14 right now in this transition. So in last part of this series I talked about how a…
