How Is The Writing Going?
Considering Everything… Not Bad… The Kickstarter just ended, we are preparing and spending a ton of time on getting ready for the Licensing Expo, the Future’s Patience workshop is ending and the Time Travel workshop is starting. And I have increased my steps to walking over 12,000 steps a day and losing weight slowly and spent a little time in the gym running five of the last seven days. (Down 7 pounds in six weeks.) And I have been working on a new web site and learning InDesign to do covers and ramping all that up. So how is the writing going with all that? Actually, fine. And picking up…

About Twelve Hours Left
The Diving Universe Kickstarter is just about over… It hit all of its stretch goals, which means that anyone who supports it for any reward will get all kinds of great reading from Kris, plus all kinds of lectures and workshops from WMG Publishing. This one is a stunner. So don’t miss out on this great Kickstarter campaign. Only a few hours left!! Ends Thursday evening. Diving Universe Kickstarter. NEW VIDEO ON LICENSING… Plus six images of the four flyers we just got back from the printer. I just put them all on the Licensing Learn Along on Teachable. I will post even more videos in the next few days,…

How We Learn
Observations About The Learn Along… After my post last night, I got some comments and a bunch of letters that helped me put into perspective what was happening. Thank you, everyone. To me and Kris, we would have killed to be in something like this to learn licensing cheaply when we started out. But why was our attitude so different than so many now? Is it because we understood the value of licenses and others did not? Maybe. Or that this area was just too scary? Maybe. But then the answer dawned on me why we would have jumped at this when young writers and so many were not. University…

Not Many Writers Want To Make Money
On Their Writing… I just put up four more videos on the Learn Along with Dean in the preparation section. And you get an entire Classic Workshop to learn from as well. (Magic Bakery code is there.) And it isn’t even as expensive as a regular workshop, even though there will be a workshop’s amount of information if not more. Practical information. But very few have signed up. And to be honest, I was surprised at how few have signed up. For me, making money with my writing is such a no-brainer, I want to soak up and learn as many ways as possible how to do it. And I…

Want to Work With Me?
Four Main Ways… To work with me on your writing and publishing business. The most intense and regular way is to have me be your mentor for a year. There is one spot still open in that. I announced that spot three or four months ago and forgot to mention it didn’t fill. Basically, as a mentor I am here for you when you need a question answered, to be talked off a ledge, or to proof your sales copy. I read anything you want me to read and I also have each person check in with me on Sunday to tell me what they have been doing or not…

Just a Day
A Couple People Asked… Since I used to detail out my days a lot here, and at some point in the future, I might do it again for a special project or something, and a few people have asked why I don’t do that now, I’ll show you today, a fairly normal day at the moment. Managed to be up and moving around 10 am, did some email and business until around noon, then wrote about 1,500 words in two short sessions. (Working on a new Cold Poker Gang novel called Ring Game. The one I just finished will be to the challenge followers in a week or so.) Kris…

Writing This Morning…
Exercising This Afternoon… Visiting friends and reading stories tonight. A pretty good day all around. Most certainly a fun one. Almost three thousand words on a new Cold Poker Gang novel. (Finished the previous one.) Then ended up with just over seven miles of steps (14,000 plus) which included a half mile of running. Then visited a friend who was in town tonight before getting to reading challenge stories. Still have a few to go from last week, so no one panic. Can’t beat a day like today.

June Workshops and Descriptions
Time Travel Workshop Available… Plus I have below some of the descriptions of the Futures workshops, all four of them, and the description of the Emotions workshop and Time Travel workshop. I also have a list of all the different workshops now available. An amazing list. All this is on Teachable, of course, and that is where you would sign up unless you have a credit. If you have a workshop credit, write me. The four Futures workshops also have a bundle on Teachable that you can get all four cheaper if you buy the bundle. So first off, the June listing of Regular Workshops now available. Then all the…

Update on My Stuff
Still Working Into My New System.. But making progress. The web site (not this one, a new one) is making progress. Got a few things to fix and a ton of books to list, but that will take time. And I have been learning InDesign, the new one, so I can get ramping on the Make 100 Short Stories. That will take another week and I should have the first few covers done for Issue #45 of Smith’s Monthly. (I will post them here.) I need to finish up the novel that will be in that issue as well, a brand new Marble Grant novel that is mostly done because…
