Off and Running
Also Getting Back Into Shape… The goal is 13 weeks from this weekend to run/walk in the Las Vegas Marathon and complete it around four hours. So not only with the writing goals, I have an exercise and health goal. I considered today Day One, and got off to a good start. Did well over 10,000 steps (5 miles plus) of which a half mile of that was running. I want to do about 40 miles per week of walking. Then over the next 13 weeks really ramp up the totals on the running. Can you tell I am getting settled in here in Vegas? (grin) Reminder!!! August Regular Workshops…

All August Workshops Started
But Still Time To Join One or More of Them… August Regular Online Workshops have all started. There are very few signed up for these August workshops. Remember, the workshops only take a few hours a week of your time, so even for a month like August it should be possible. And September there will be a new workshop or two announced. And some new lectures as well. And the reading list will go out for the first Study Along Workshop in September as well. And September starts the new short story and novel challenge. Still spots in both if you are thinking about it. The goal is thirty short stories…

August Workshops Starting Up
It’s That Time… August Regular Online Workshops are starting up. Actually, this caught me by surprise tonight as well. Sort of snuck up on me to be honest with all the travel and move stuff. But now I am settled into my new office and moving forward again just in time for these to get started. To be honest, there are very few signed up for these August workshops. Almost everyone will get a private lesson. Remember, the workshops only take a few hours a week of your time, so even for a month like August it should be possible. And September there will be a new workshop announced. And…

New Thunder Mountain Covers
Allyson Fixed Two of My Covers… We felt the old Thunder Mountain novel cover didn’t really fit the series and the one for the Idanha Hotel novel didn’t fit the book itself. So she redid them and they will be on the series shortly. I flat love the new Thunder Mountain cover. A perfect cover to start the series with. Thunder Mountain, but the way, is free at the moment as we ramp up to a few promotions. Get links and see the full series at Thunder Mountain on WMG Publishing site. ————– You Can Sign Up Now For August Online Workshops… July workshops have drifted into the past now.…

Working at the Bookstore
Well, At Least Hanging Around… Dan has all the construction and moving plans under control and over the next five days we will be moving a ton of books and shelves. This is part of what the North by Northwest Bookstore Kickstarter paid for. Movers will be coming in to do the heavy lifting for a time. And we are taking a ton of shelves out of Kris and my house here on the coast that we are getting rid of. We still need to build more. The new area is huge, if you haven’t gotten that idea. Here is what it looks like at the moment from the edge…

Two Possible New Workshops
Scheduling and Trying to Decide… Working on the next four months of regular workshop schedules and I have sort of settled on two new workshops I would love to put together with Kris. So feedback is welcome. And yes, lifetime subscribers you will get any new workshop we do automatically. So first off, I like the idea of doing a Magic Bakery Workshop. Six weeks covering all kinds of details about how writers make a living and run a business with the focus on copyright and IP valuation. Now we did two advanced lectures on those two topics, but this would be so, so much more detailed and into the…

And also the webinar links for the Game and Fear workshop webinars this Sunday. They will be on the assignment video for the first week after tomorrow evening. So now to get some sleep. And if not for the blog challenge, I would have skipped this blog. The power of a…
