Cover Fun… Sale Extended One Day
Not Sure if Teachable Was Having Troubles on Sunday… So the August half-off workshop sale is extended until Monday night. Detail in previous posts. Now for Cover Fun I spent a few hours today doing covers. Four new short story covers and one new Smith’s Monthly cover. Had a good time with them. They all use my templates so other than finding the art, they were quick and easy. Thought I show you them just for fun like I do every other month or so. The four short stories are all original stories done this year.

New Workshops and Last Day of the Sale
Half-Price Sale ends late Sunday Evening… And I got a number of new workshops up, three just today before the sale ends. The big new class, starting in September is the regular six-week workshop SEPTEMBER APPLIED DEPTH. (You must have taken the Depth workshop to take this one. Yes, it will be offered every month for a while.) Also today I put up three new classic workshops as promised. Classic Pulp Speed Classic Power Words Classic Making a Living from Novels These originally were six week regular workshops, but are now classic. Only differences are that you take them at your own speed and do the assignments only for yourself.…

Lessons from the Writing of the Fey Videos
Now Up On Teachable… Kris has been writing on Fey novels solidly since she got everything cleaned up and going after the first Fey Kickstarter campaign ended. But it took her a while to record the ten videos of the Lessons from the Writing of the Fey, because, to be honest, she wanted a few books under her fingers before she looked back again. The book got out a number of months back and now tonight, on Teachable, I have posted the videos. I have written personally to everyone who backed the Kris videos on that first Fey Kickstarter and gave them the way to get to them on Teachable,…

Something Really Crazy and Innovative
In Indie Book Selling I am not suggesting that anyone try this. Nope. But it was certainly fascinating to see. Started this afternoon when I drove Kris to an eye appointment that was beside a large mall here in Vegas. So I set off walking in the mall to get my 5 miles. (Yes, streak is still intact at 12 days in a row at five miles.) I was coming up a ramp in the mall and there in front of me was a small kiosk covered in books of all kinds. Nonfiction, poetry, some fiction, some coloring books, some political books, and on the lower shelf were a bunch…

Hadestown
Amazingly Good and Worth Seeing!! Of course, most people know that. I didn’t, couldn’t even get the name to stick in my head until Kris convinced me to go with her tonight. My review… Wow! Hadestown tells the stories of two Greek mythological couples — Hades, god of the underworld and his queen Persephone, as well as the singer Orpheus and his love Eurydice. The basic plot is that Eurydice dies, goes to the underworld (aka Hadestown). And then shit happens. The jazz and blues music was amazing, the chorus did wonders, and the Three Fates at times stole the show, although the guy who played Hades had an amazing…

Creative Voice Having Fun
Watching Two-Year-Old-Kids Kris and I always talk about the creative voice being a very, very smart two-year-old kid that knows a ton more about writing than your front critical voice will ever learn. Problem is the front voice doesn’t allow the creative voice to play, set it loose. Lots of reasons for that. So tonight, while I was over at Resorts World Casino, walking, I got to witness twice the creative voice at play in real-world dramatic fashion. (And yes, my 5-mile-per-day streak is still going and at 8 days now. Some running. But tonight, because of the heat, I just went to the mega resort of Resorts World and…
