Valuation, Bite-Sized Copyright, and The Decade Ahead…
New Videos Every Monday Morning.. Not sure about the folks who are signed up on either Bite-Sized Copyright or The Decade Ahead classes (which get new videos every Monday morning for this entire year), but I am having a blast with both classes. 48 weeks to go on both. Wow, that is going to be a lot of information, so don’t hesitate in jumping in on either or both of the classes. It won’t talk long to catch up with the first four weeks and then have new videos awaiting you every Monday on both topics. Find them on Teachable. Copyright Valuation Topic… Why there has not been another post…

The Final Buffet Project…
An Update! Way back in the middle of last year, I planned on going to different buffets around Las Vegas, writing about the buffets and posting that here and writing on a book while there. I planned on hitting all the main ones. Even bought myself a new iPad for the writing. Had it all set up, ready to go. And I am still planning on doing the project. But in October I was hit with Optical Neuropathy in my only good eye, and went mostly blind for a short time. No reason for the swelling, and with most people it will go away in 2-6 months. No treatment. Well,…

In-Person Workshops…
We Just Finished the First New One… At Resorts World on the Strip in Vegas. Wow, was that something special. The hotel was about as perfect as it could get for a small workshop. Rooms were great and quiet, and the meeting room was perfect. Food was good, with a ton of options for everyone. And I do mean a ton. More restaurants in Resorts World and across the street than all of downtown Vegas. So Resorts World is our new home. Cheaper, very quiet, and super nice. But we have an issue. No one is signing up, or at least not enough to pay Resorts World and run a…

February Workshops Now Available…
Including Two Resurrected Classic Workshops… Remember, the two Resurrected Classic Workshops will only be available as a regular workshop with me giving homework feedback for this one month. They are also still classic workshops. Each month we will bring back to Regular Status one or two Classic Workshops. We have no schedule on when any of them will come forward. We will just decide each month. (Sometimes it will depend if I can find my old notes or not.) Lifetime Workshop Subscribers, just follow normal workshop procedure if you want feedback and write me for a code to get into any of the February workshops. Here is the list of…

More Copyright Valuation
Main Way of Valuing Fiction… If you haven’t read the previous posts on this topic, might want to go back and do so. Or read them again. And if you don’t understand copyright, much of this will just go past you I’m afraid. So I mentioned one way of valuing copyright. I called it the “Cost Method” because you just add up all the costs of producing the book and that is the value. That method flat doesn’t work past putting a value on covers and a few other design elements. But it is the easy one to understand for most. Now to be clear right here… I am not…

Writing Classes
Here Are The Pop-Up Classes… Kris and I have been working on a bunch of Pop-Up classes the last few days. We are first getting out the four stretch reward Pop-Up classes from the Pulphouse Kickstarter and at the same time I am working on the stretch reward Pulphouse anthologies. We promised them all this spring and the Pop-Ups will be ahead of that. Anthologies will be one per month. Here are the four that will go live on Teachable to buy and the backers of the Pulphouse Kickstarter will be sent codes for in the next few weeks. Pop-Up #80… Turning Big Ideas into a Short Story Pop-Up #81……

3 Days Left!!!
In the FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter Campaign… And it is doing great, which means all backers of any reward (starting at the first one of $30) get lots of great extra stuff. And three days is a lot of time in Kickstarter land (Think the last five minutes of a football game.) So we can hit some more stretch rewards and get all backers even more. So help us pass the word. You can find it at FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter Campaign. Here is what all backers get extra (besides the award they backed) so far. All five FANTASIES COLLIDE collections in electronic format. ($30 Value) Seven fantasy novels or anthologies in…

Reminder of Stretch Challenge
This From Last Night… UPDATE… SATURDAY AFTERNOON… Special Stretch Goal has been hit. Thank you, everyone. Now more fun stuff for all backers. Because it’s Friday night and my brain is too scrambled to finish the copyright valuation blog. So figured I would remind you about the challenge on FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter. I have put updates in all caps and italics. The FANTASIES COLLIDE Kickstarter is doing great at the moment. With 7 days left, we have 155 backers. (ACTUALLY AFTER ONE DAY OF THIS CHALLENGE WE HAVE 167 BACKERS!) So we thought it would be fun that if we could reach 175 backers by Sunday at midnight, West Coast…
