Value on Lifetime Everything Subscription…
Got An Observation That I Have To Respond To… Someone commented that if they bought a Lifetime Everything Subscription to our workshops on WMG Teachable, it would take years to make up for the costs in new workshops. I went, “Huh, that’s not right.” But I wasn’t sure, so I had to go figure it out to make sure. (grin) Here are the new classes and workshops we have added onto Teachable since January 1st of this year (2025). In essence under three months. ONLY THE NEW STUFF!! (Remember, the Lifetime Everything Subscription is for the 600 or so classes and workshops already there, plus everything going into the future.)…

Explaining the Class
LICENSING: HOW TO CREATE A BRAND The class is starting tomorrow. (Tuesday) It is a nine week class leading up to the Licensing Expo. It is on Teachable. So let me set a scene for you… You are at (name any place as a setting that you might run into someone with a connection to a license). For now just think major convention or the Licensing Expo, but it can happen anywhere and has to both me and Kris. A person who can license IP who is interested in finding new IP to license comes to learn you own IP. Here is how the conversation goes… Person: “So, what’s your…

I’m Laughing At Myself…
I Just Keep Thinking… That what has me totally fascinated and learning will also be interesting to other people. And I just keep thinking that knowing how to make a ton more money with your writing is a good thing. Nope, just not interesting to most writers. Seems that most writers are locked into the idea that what you make with sales is from Amazon. So because I was interested in laying it all out over nine weeks, I fired up a LICENSING — How to Build a Brand in the Nine Weeks Between Now and the Licensing Expo in late May. Starts Tuesday. Got a few Lifetime Everything Subscribers…

Two Really Special Workshops in Kickstarter…
You Only Have Until Thursday Evening… For the writers who love to write stories and learn the craft and business of writing, we are offering some very, very special treats through this 3 Epic Fantasy Kickstarter campaign. These two courses will only be offered through this campaign and nowhere else, so don’t miss them. Check it out here… — #1… HOW TO REVIVE AN OLDER BOOK OR STORY… This is a special three-week workshop on how to revive an older book or story (without rewriting it). In this modern world, books often fade in sales until basically no reader sees them. Yet the book (as the three in this campaign)…

Kris Post On Facebook…
From Her Perspective on the Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon… As anything Kris does, really clearly written and fun to read, even if I was one of those stragglers managing to get to food. The real challenge of that run wasn’t the 13 miles because that was all in the middle of the street. The real challenge was going that far and then having to go another three miles through and around and up stairs and down stairs in and out of six or seven casinos and hotels. (First time I ever set foot in the Waldorf…) I kept being short with Kris every time she called me because I…

Not Much To Say About the Story Challenge…
I Just Manage to Work At It Every Night… Sometimes also during an afternoon. Taking me from 2 to 3 hours a day. Often in the first 45 minutes I manage around 500 words, then take a break and I get about 1,300 words an hour from there. Kris is reading a story as she has a chance. She has read about thirty or so of them. And I am using some of them to fill up the last volume of the third Marble Grant collection. (Thought I had enough without checking… so wrote some in January and some this month to fill the collection.) They should be out later…

Still Recovering…
Very Sore Feet… But they are getting better. And I got a lot of workshop stuff and email done today, so slowly getting caught up. Story challenge just keeps going along. Giving it a focus and the story lengths are under 2,000 words, but still chugging. I will do some longer updates in the next few days on the challenge. LIFETIME EVERYTHING SUBSCRIPTION… Just three more days to get it at half price for the Lifetime Everything Subscription on Teachable. We started the sale for February but I have said almost nothing about it. This is a stunningly good deal if you plan on really working on your writing into…

Thanks for All the Kind Thoughts…
I Really Appreciated Them… Especially as I limped around all day and took two naps. (grin) Managed to keep up the stories and do email and some assignments. I should be caught up by tomorrow. So let me tell you about a few workshops I am really proud we are doing. Workshops… Writer’s Block… It is on the WMG Writer Store We are doing a third session. If you have problems getting up to the speed you want or just not writing much at all, you can get the first two sessions of nine weeks each with webinars each week, all recorded, and then fire into the third session. It…
