Study Along Online Classes…
They Go with the In-Person Classes… Study Along workshops are held at exactly the same time, with the same reading list. as the in-person classes here in Vegas. The In-Person workshops start in March and we have another every two months until January 2023. These are hardcore craft workshops. We are holding the in-person Vegas classes to 15 writers and everyone must be vaccinated, so we are very certain they will take place. So at the same time as each workshop here in Vegas, there is a study-along class by the same name that is online on Teachable. It will be held from Monday through Thursday with the same story…

Pulphouse Kickstarter Workshops
Great for Writers… And Readers… This Pulphouse Kickstarter campaign is turning out to be great for both writers and readers. For writers, there are two special three week workshops that you can only get through this campaign, and in 60 hours or so, we will never offer those workshops again. They are HOW TO WRITE A PULPHOUSE STORY and HOW TO MONETIZE SHORT FICTION. They are $150 each and you will have a story assignment for the last assignment in each. Or you can get both for $250. You can take them starting September 7th or October 5th. Your choice. You also get a year’s Pulphouse Fiction Magazine subscription with…

Three Updates…
Three Important Projects Going… I almost need the cats from Kris’s promotion central on Facebook to help with this, but sadly at this time of the night they are all asleep. — First Project, last night I talked about the six new and really fun In-Person and Study Along workshops Kris and I are going to do starting in March 2022 and going until January 2023. And that we also cancelled the Anthology workshop because of Covid. All the details are in the last post. And the six workshops all have lots of spots left as well as the Study Along workshops for all six. In interested in the In-Person…

NEW IN-PERSON VEGAS WORKSHOPS
Starting March 2022… First, before I tell you about the new Vegas writing workshops, I have to announce that the Anthology Workshop is officially cancelled. I have sent letters to everyone who is signed up, so if you did not get the letter and thought you were signed up, just write me directly. We just could not risk putting over 40 writers in the same room for four days, plus in a party room at night in this environment. But 15 vaccinated writers in a meeting room with great ventilation at a later time is another matter. So Kris and I came up with some really, really fun four day…

August Workshops Starting
First Half Started… Second half starts tomorrow night. And the two Special Workshops, Vastness of Space 2 and Writing Spaceships also both started. These are the last sessions of these two. So if you didn’t take them in July, this is the last chance. Almost no one signed up for August workshops this time around. Time of Great Forgetting mixed up with this pandemic mess. So no surprise to me. So if you do sign up, it might almost be private lessons. (grin) Another note. Stages of a Publisher will be gone after August. Last time to get it if interested. And this is the last time for Attitude as…

Rewards and Stretch Rewards…
For THE CHASE… … Heading out on Tuesday, so watch your email and your spam filters. Also, the two Pop-Ups that we scheduled for stretch rewards in THE CHASE Kickstarter campaign are now up live as well. If you supported the campaign, you will get both, of course. I personally think that Writing MacGuffins Pop-Up might help you make writing easier. Amazing how knowing about MacGuffins and what they are used for in all genres can really make writing a lot more fun and a ton easier in the plotting. So you might want to think about grabbing that one if you missed THE CHASE kickstarter campaign. Also if you missed…

LAST DAY OF THE LAST SALE
ALMOST DONE!!! Just so it is clear. This sale will end on today (Thursday) in the evening West Coast time. And that will be the last pandemic half-price sale. Hard to believe this is almost over. We started these last spring in a shut-down world as WMG’s way of trying to help writers stay in and stay safe and learning through the turmoil. We hoped after the first few we would end it, and every two months we did another because the pandemic was still strong. Now, for those who are able to get the vaccine, the pandemic fear is over and we are into recovery. The vaccine has turned…

Yes, 2020 Decade Ahead is Now 2022
Amazing What That Pandemic Did To So Much… I will get to changing out the introductions and the descriptions to reference 2022 in the Decade Ahead classes, but more than likely not while this sale is going on. But as I said last night, it will last all of 2022. So yes, to answer questions, signing up on The Decade Ahead 2020 classes gets you the 2022 classes and all that was done back in 2020 as well. I will be updating another class that got messed up. Shared Worlds. All the videos are there, of course, and Cave Creek is doing well and those three anthologies were wonderful. At…
