SUPER Great Challenges
Blog Early Tonight Because of Licensing Expo…
Starts tomorrow morning, so I might be late a touch on a few things, but will try not to. And will give a report here and on a couple of the classes later in the week.
But quickly, I want to announce what is not up yet, but will be shortly on Teachable (shortly meaning a day or so.)
THE SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES…
Right now we have the following challenges you can sign up for at any time… Any genre…
— The Great Challenge (write a story per week and send it to me for 52 weeks.)
— The Great Novella Challenge (write a novella every month.)
— The Great Novel Challenge (write a novel every two months)
— The Great Publishing Challenge (Publish a major book every month.)
The cost is $600 and if you miss, you get $600 in credit on Teachable.
Three of them have publishing requirements to send me copies of the books, but on no deadline.
You accomplish any of the The Great Challenges, then you get a lifetime subscription of your choice to either Workshops, Pop-Ups, Study Along, and others. They are all worth from $1,500 to $3,000.
So we got talking today and thought it would be fun to have some SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES where the prize for accomplishing the challenge is not only a lot of writing and publishing, but the EVERYTHING SUBSCRIPTION to Teachable worth $10,000.
Same $600 fee to get started and start when you want. And if you miss, you get $600 in credit on Teachable. (You can’t use credit for challenges.)
Now these challenges, both the (Great Challenges and the new Super Great Challenges) are all one year long. You can start at any time, sign up at any time. Just got to write me and let me know.
However, once we have the new SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES posted, we will do a week-long early bird sale for $500 for any of the older challenges or newer ones. And if you miss, you still get the $600 in credit. But that will only last for one week for signing up. Again you can sign up now and start when you are ready. No hurry.
I will have the super ones posted on Teachable in the next day or so. Just wanted to let you all know they are coming. They will take planning and an ability to get out of your own way writing and an ability to publish. In other words, all five of Heinlein’s Rules will be tested.
SUPER GREAT CHALLENGES to get the $10,000 Lifetime Everything Subscription are…
— SUPER GREAT CHALLENGE… Write one story per week (any genre) for one year and send it to me. Two weeks after turning in the story, send me a Books2Read link for the story for sale standalone. That means after 54 weeks you will have 52 stories written and published. The two week deadline after turn in of the story is strict.
— SUPER GREAT NOVELLA CHALLENGE… Write one novella (15,000 to 30,000 words) every month (any genre) and send it to me. Two weeks after turning in the novella, send me a Books2Read link for the novella for sale standalone. That means after 54 weeks you will have 12 novellas written and published. The two week deadline after turn in of the story is strict.
— SUPER GREAT NOVEL CHALLENGE… Write one novel every six weeks (any genre) and send it to me. Four weeks after turning in the novel, send me a Books2Read link for the novel for sale. That means after about 60 weeks you will have 9 novels written and published. The four week deadline after turn in of the novel is strict.
(Math to kill your excuses… Novel 50,000 words. You write at 1,000 words per hour. That is 50 hours. 6 weeks means you must write 8.5 hours a week. Or just over 1 hour a day. How is that for an excuse killer?)
— SUPER GREAT PUBLISHING CHALLENGE… Publishing one major book (any genre) every three weeks and send me a Books2Read link for the book for sale. A major book is a novel, novella, collection, or omnibus. That means after 52 weeks you will have 17 major books published.
If you think it can’t be done, I will have published this year from January 1st to July 1st, 23 major books, so you can do 17 in twice that long to get the $10,000 Lifetime Subscription.
These new challenges will be posted in a day or so and at that point the early bird special on them will start for one week.
NOTE TO LIFETIME EVERYTHING SUBSCRIBERS… You can take any of the challenges for fun just to challenge yourself. Let me know if interested and I will sign you up. I am not sending any codes for these.
Second offer… LIFETIME EVERYTHING SUBSCRIBERS, if you want to sign up regularly and pay the fee, and you hit it, you can gift the LIFETIME EVERYTHING SUBSCRIPTION to another writer. You will have all the writing done and another writer will really owe you. (grin) And if you pay the fee and miss, you can gift the credit to another writer.

Hi Dean,
this is such a temptation. Thanks for the opportunity.
Question regarding the lifetime everything subscription:
Which classes are excluded from it?

Everything on Teachable is included in the Lifetime Everything Subscription. Nothing from the WMG Writer Store is included. It has its own lifetime subscription. And nothing in person is included. But all 600 to 700 classes on Teachable are included, all challenges, all everything. And all new coming into the future on Teachable.
Right now, because I forgot to take off the sale for it, the Lifetime Everything Subscription is half price, but that is only going to last two more days. Write me if directly if interested in that.
These challenges are going to be great fun, that’s for sure, and even if you miss, you fail to success. You have some writing and stories done, and you get $600 back in credit. Win/win
