    Last Day of Sale!!

    Ends Late Tuesday Night… In case you missed this last week, just like the rest of the planet, we have been doing a sale, one last one for a very long time. (We do sales now when we open a new Shopify store and we have no plans for a new store any time into the future. Thus no workshop sales. In fact, we talked today about the next possible new Shopify store that would have a grand opening sale with it and we have nothing, not one planned for 2024.) So if you want some class or workshop for the new year, last day to grab it half price.…

    Monday Morning Classes…

    Opinions Needed… Every Monday morning four videos in three classes appear. THE DECADE AHEAD, BITE-SIZED COPYRIGHT, and FLASH TECHNIQUES.  All three of these are ending the last Monday in December. Of course, you can still get all three in the sale and go over them at your own pace. But thinking about for 2024 doing the four videos on Monday morning MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY. All different from the 2022 list (which you can also still get in the sale for half price.) I really liked doing the Motivational Mondays with the “Pithy Comment” each week. Any interest? (I won’t hold you to it.) If so I will add Motivational Monday before…

    EVERYTHING…A University Worth Of Classes…

    A Massive Amount of Learning… I got answering a question about what exactly was in the Everything Lifetime Subscription and ended up stunning myself once again as I answered. All of this is on WMG Teachable and half price this week. Use the code HOLIDAY50 How this many classes and workshops happened is because over the years, Kris and I worked to entertain ourselves, keep learning, and at the same time teach what we wish someone had told us 40 years ago. There are now well over 300 classes and workshops of different types and just about every topic of fiction writing and the business of fiction writing and indie…

    The Everything Lifetime Subscription…

    A Ton of Classes and Workshops… I got answering a question about what exactly was in the Everything Lifetime Subscription and ended up stunning myself as I wrote it all out. All of this is on WMG Teachable and half price this week. Wow, over the years as Kris and I worked to entertain ourselves, keep learning, and at the same time teach what we wish someone had told us, this offering of classes got very large. And seemingly getting bigger as we go. Well over 300 classes and workshops of different types and just about every topic of fiction writing and the business of fiction writing. So let me…

    Started Another Streak

    I Have a Monster Streak Going… That is the one I wrote about blogging every night here for over 11 straight years without a miss. So I know how to do a streak successfully. And over the years I have started a lot of streaks and challenges for myself. Some are writing streaks like a short story a day for over a hundred days that I did in 2022. That was fun. And I have started a ton of streaks that just went nowhere for one reason or another. Mostly I gave them no power, or they had no end goal. I think a solid goal is maybe the most…

    Why Do Streaks?

    Day #4,031 of This Blog… Never missed, as I said yesterday. So why do this, or any other writing streak for that matter? The answer is simple… FOR YOURSELF You do it for yourself. Last year I wrote over 100 short stories in 100 days. Why? Because I wanted to. Thought it would be fun, and it was. Over the last few years WMG has had challenges we offer to writers on Teachable. A no-lose challenge. If they miss, they get what they paid in credit in workshops, if they hit the challenge, they get a lifetime subscription of their choice. Story a week, novel every two months, novella a…

    Challenges Are Battles Against Yourself…

    Nothing Else Matters… Just You… Challenges have this nasty habit of quickly uncovering issues in your motivation and your consistency in writing and other life issues you are dealing with. This challenge for me uncovered that my vision stamina is not strong yet. If I spend a lot of time during the day, as I did a few days this last week, at my business computer, by the time I get to the writing computer, I am very limited in the amount of time I have. I love writing at night, and my eyes are better at night. I expected to be slow, didn’t expect that sight issue would be…
