Negative Habits
Habits of Not Writing… Or not publishing what you write. Over the years I have talked a lot in classes and here about how it really helps to form positive habits on writing. Start a streak, do a challenge, write at the same time each day, and so on. And with the publishing coming in, I have often suggested a publishing day each week set aside only for publishing. Form a habit. But what I have noticed in myself and others lately is not writing, not publishing, is habit-forming as well. Streaks, challenges, and so on to help form positive habits are powerful, but so are the habits of not…

Dialog from 1 to 10 Characters
I Left Out the Word “From” Yesterday And with Teachable’s really sucky search function, turns out the class was difficult to find. It is on the first page, about 8 down. Here is yesterday’s post on this great class that starts Monday. This Great Class Starts Monday. Taught by Kris for six weeks. No assignments, just lots of learning about how to do more than two characters in a conversation and keep the readers clear on who is talking and where they are at. Starts Monday on Teachable. Going to be really something because Kris is a master of this skill. Lifetime Everything Subscribers, you were mailed the link if…

Great Fun With Writers Visiting…
Wonderful Meals and Conversations… With great writers and friends. I know we live in a great world of communication where we can keep in touch with so many friends. But just nothing like sitting and talking face-to-face. Talking about writing, publishing, cats, and just about everything. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to do that for the last three days with different friends in town. And yes, our two cats manning promotion central are great. So a large writer’s lunch here today (Friday) that will have more writing skill and published novels and awards than can be imagined around one table. So, so much fun. I remember as a…

Wearing Brands
Fun Wearing My Own Brands… I have got three hoodies for the Licensing Expo next month that have three of my brands on them. Poker Boy, Bryant Street, and Pulphouse. Amazing how much fun it is to wear your own brands and how much it can motivate you to write more. I had no realized it would feel that way for me. And I hope at the Licensing Expo to get some interest in the brands. Going to wear one per day. Some of you taking classes right now might see me recording in the Poker Boy hoodie. And speaking of a brand, we just put up THE KRIS AND…

Reading Pulphouse Stories…
Out of Order… So don’t panic if you get a response from me for an October or November story and you have not gotten a response for a story from a previous month yet. I am just jumping around so I don’t get in a rut with the same theme. Plus if I think I might buy a story, I put it aside and read it again in a few days. However, that said, the HEAT WAVE stories are all responded to. TWILIGHT ZONE stories only have a few left. Fascinating patterns I am noticing in the writing. For example, a lot of the stories are pulling me in, but…
