Story Eleven and Workshop Stuff Again

DAY ELEVEN…

Pretty much did workshops all day including a couple of covers. I had to redo one cover, the “Blind Date” cover because the title vanished. Below is the new cover.

I worked on the Strengths workshop and also Kris and I finalized a workshop we have talked about for a while but didn’t want to do. However, we get so many questions about the topic, we figured it was time. The full description of the new online workshop is above.

It will be a good one. A ton of tricks, things long-term professionals do, and helpful hints.

I got the writing around 2 a.m. and with two short breaks for snacks, I wrote a story called “That Old Tingling” that was 3,200 words long by a little after 5 a.m..

Another Marble Grant story. So the challenge goes on. Eleven stories in eleven days.
