Organizing Lectures
There are a Bunch of Them… All WMG Publishing workshops, Pop-ups, lectures, subscriptions, challenges, and classes are half price at the moment on Teachable. Just hit purchase and put in the code: SUMMERSCHOOLSALE The sale will be going for a few more days is all. And while this has been going on, I thought it might be a good time to tackle the curriculum project of helping people know what workshops, pop-ups, or lectures to take to match not only their interests, but also in what order. The first night I got the top 20 craft workshops and put them in an order. Find that here. Second night I did…

A Very Diverse Sunday
I Did Just About Everything Today… One of those days that I worked on just about everything. Started off the day with a writer’s meeting at WMG. Fun discussions. Then Kris and I went for a walk to get some milage in (I didn’t hit five, but got to four miles again). Then I stayed at WMG to work on workshop recordings and the new lecture series stuff coming. Then home to take a nap and cook dinner. After that I managed all my e-mail and workshop assignments before heading to my writing computer. I got two sessions on the novel of just at 1,900 words. Then back to this…

Now to the Lectures I’ve been meaning to announce the new site for the lectures and just kept forgetting. We are also going to be doing new lectures again now that they are on this new site, so watch for those announcements. Over the last six months we’ve got some great ideas from all of you…
