    Coming Out of a Fog

    Finally Coming Back… Been dealing with this eye injury for about a month now, then got a horrid cold, worst one I have had in years, actually, that made my eyes blurry on top of the injury. So a fun couple of days being mostly blind and sneezing. Joy. But as the cold slowly clears, I feel like I am coming out of a fog bank and seeing the sun again. And clearly, under the cold-caused crap, my eyes are slowly improving. Yay! A couple more days and I will only be dealing with the eye issues again. So sitting here at this computer tonight, with the screens blown up…

    The Last Sale…

    Ever…. And we will not change our minds. This is it. This week. Why the about face on sales??? We said in June we would do a regular sale the last full week of each month up until the end of the year. Well, total failure. What is success to us? Having writers take the workshops or classes to keep learning. What the regular sales did from June until now basically caused the writers who are taking workshops and learning to be cut more than in half. So the sales don’t help more writers take classes, they instead cut the number of people taking classes and learning. And that is…

    An Attempt At Working With Angel

    Not Easy… Angel is our Tonkinese cat who we rescued from a shelter about a year ago.  Kris talks about her and our other two boys all the time on Facebook. The three of them are “Promotion Central.” But tonight, as I tried to record Motivation Monday 3rd week of the 4th Quarter, Angel wanted attention between running around and yelling. Up until a month ago, she would never just jump up on my lap here at the computer, but now she just surprises me as she lands squarely on my lap between me and the keyboard. That caused a couple videos to be started over tonight. Below is a…

    Fun Extra Stuff In the Sale

    So Many To Pick From… So with Kris’s help, I figured I would put a few up here that you can get for half price that are great, great deals. And hidden for the most part. I mentioned these in August. SERIES INTERVIEWS… I interviewed Kris about ten of her series first stories or books. Trust me, more about writing, publishing, and writing series in these 40 videos than you can imagine. This is a stunning deal at full price, but at half price, it is amazing. BUY THREE… You can get 3 regular workshop credits, 3 pop-up credits, 3 classic workshop credits, or three lecture credits to use at…

    Last Day for Fey Kickstarter

    Counting Down the Hours… Ends at 7 PM West Coast Time!! Brand New Fey Novel Kickstarter Campaign. Amazing books, amazing workshops, and everyone gets the first Fey novel in 22 years, THE KIRILLI MATTER. We just hit the 7th stretch goal and climbing, which means that all backers not only get seven more stories by Kris, but writers get six months of Motivational classes. And I think it is possible to another stretch goal before this is over if we can all pass the word. Again, ends at 7pm Thursday West Coast Time. This is the last hours. At that point the special workshops go away. And you will have…
