Update On Stuff
Odds and Ends From The Week… First off, the workshop End of Summer half-price sale is still going on for just three more days. You can find all the information and the code at End of Summer Sale. Don’t miss this one. —— Surveys have gone out to all backers of the Return of Boss Kickstarter campaign. They went out through a company called CrowdOx, so check your spam filter. If you didn’t get one, they will try sending anyone who hasn’t replied another in a couple of days, so no worry. Also, we now have a Late Backer Page set up. That’s right, if you missed The Return of…

End of Summer Workshop Sale Repeated
I Ran Out of Time… Turns out my best plans for the day got completely sidetracked as I kept learning this new program for surveys for Kickstarters. In fact, I’ve been spending a lot of time with Kickstarter stuff the last four days, and actually will update the Best Practices shortly. So tonight I was going to write a sort of soapbox post about audio books and Kickstarter, but ran out of time tonight, so will do it tomorrow. So once again, here is the full post talking about the End of Summer sale and the code to get any workshop at half price on Teachable, which is EndOfSummer. Tomorrow…

The Return of Boss
Three Full Days Doing the Survey And almost ready to go. Waiting on one more detail and it will finally head out. I’m learning a great deal, actually, since this is the first one we have gone with a fulfillment company on. It should be pretty good, even though this time they are only doing the survey and we are still doing the actual fulfillment. But it is a ton nicer and a ton more work. And also we will have a site up for a time to take late pledges. In other words, if there is something you missed during the Kickstarter, you can still pick it up, or…

Course Curriculum
Updated Because of the Sale… You can find this workshop curriculum at any point on the front page of my web site on the right under the Curriculum tag. There are a bunch of workshops, pop-ups, lectures, and other classes that I tried to put in some sort of order. If I missed something or didn’t add it in for some reason, just write me with questions. Remember, until the 8th, everything is half price on Teachable. Everything, including classes, lifetime subscriptions, everything. Full instructions and reasons for the sale are in the previous blog, but all you have to do is hit purchase and then put in the code:…

New Workshop Coming…
And Other Stuff… Last day of August. Been a long summer, that’s for sure. Actually, a long time since March/April and the start of all this. I went for months this summer (except for the scary trip going up North for moving) with my big adventure each week going grocery shopping. Or maybe running for some take-out pizza. I know for a fact I am not alone in that. Being safe and sane through all this is crazy. I sure thought last May we would be through this by now. Nope. Now I am at least getting out of the building each day for exercise. Who knew by now I…

Best Workshop Deal Ever….
In the Return of Boss Kickstarter Campaign… Kris’s wonderful Diving Universe novels and novellas and short stories are all in the subcategory of Science Fiction called Space Opera. So back when Kris finished the new Boss novel and we were talking about what cool things we could do for the campaign for writers, we came up with the idea of teaching a special three-week workshop called How to Write Space Opera. It will only be offered through this special Kickstarter campaign and now only for two more days. Ends Thursday Evening! But since the Diving Books are space opera and learning how to write great space opera is a tough…

September Workshops Are Up
They Start Very Early This September… On the 1st and 2nd. So they are now all available, including the new workshop COVERS 101. And yes, lifetime subscribers, September Covers 101 is in your subscription and you can take it the first time through or wait until later in the fall or winter. Your choice. (Boy, lifetime workshop subscriptions are an amazing deal.) Here are the workshops in September. Notice Kickstarter Basics Workshop is going to run every other month, so its next time up is in October. I will have the October workshops live in the next day or so as well. Getting ahead and caught up at the same…

August Workshops Starting Up
On Tuesday and Wednesday… Yes, we made it through July of 2020, sort of… Now comes August. And this month started with the wonderful return of the astronauts from the space station. I watched every minute of that prepared to swear at 2020 if anything went wrong. Thankfully, it was wonderful. So maybe August won’t entirely suck. Maybe. At least it started decent, unlike most months this year. I’ll take what I can get at this point. August regular workshops are starting up, including the first time through of the new Kickstarter Details Workshop. First week will be a lot of general stuff, then down into the really nitty details…

Best Plans and All That…
I Intended to Update the Kickstarter Best Practices… And put up the new file from Loren and talk about some new campaigns. But nope, getting too late for me to do it today, so it will be Wednesday. Sorry about that. Great fun when days just sort of get away from you. And especially since I am feeling like I have energy again for the first time in a week. So I just flat tackled too many projects. Plus I talked tonight with one of Dave Farland’s classes. I had fun, but got a hunch I sort of twisted a few minds. But for some reason Dave wanted me to…

What Are They All? We are doing a half-price sale right now of everything on WMG Publishing’s Teachable classes and workshops for writers. Just hit purchase and then put in the code: SummerSchoolSale You will get anything you pick, or as many classes, workshops, lectures, or subscriptions as you want, at half price.
