January and February Workshops
Includes New Pulp Speed Workshop… And yes, the Pulp Speed Workshop has been included in the Lifetime Workshop Subscription and no, if you have a lifetime subscription, you do not have to tell me you are going to take it. I’ll know when you turn in the first assignment. The Pulp Speed workshop starts February 2nd. The idea is to help you increase your productivity with your fiction so that you work towards Pulp Speed One (a million words a year).

And now there is a promise of another novel or two or three. But last night I got to read a Fey novella, and all I can say was it is great. And Fey.

I will email the entire class when the next eight or…

Things I Considered (that you also might want to think about). — What kind of time do I have to write? That is with all the other stuff I am doing that is important to me, such as exercise, doing…

More On Challenges For 2022
A Goal vs A Challenge… Right about now, here on the 6th of December, it is a great time to start looking at the year ahead. For many writers, setting a challenge is not a good idea. But in any business or art, setting a goal can really help. So tonight I thought I would talk about the difference between a goal and a challenge. I believe both are good. And by setting a challenge, you are also setting a goal. But often goals are not challenges. Last night I listed four things that I thought were important when deciding on a challenge. They are: 1… It actually has to…
