Saturday Night
Fun stuff… I will talk tomorrow night about why only seven short stories are turned in over six days from over 45 writers writing this week for the anthology workshop. The rest all have less than 23 hours to the deadline. And I know exactly why that has happened this week. I caused it. I love messing with writers for lesson’s sake. (evil grin) I also just posted the second video in the Publishing Challenge about what I did this week on the publishing side. And in the Novel Great Challenge, I posted the second week’s video there about my writing this last week. I will be doing that in…

2021… Oh, My….
Yes, Just Turned 2020… I Know… But when planning both publishing goals and Las Vegas workshops, you just have to bring in the scary 2021 number. No clue why that number has been scary for me, but to be honest, I flat refused to even think about it until we got into 2020. But now, seven days into this new year, I am starting to be reminded that I must think of 2021 for scheduling. Well, damn. In 2020, we have three Las Vegas writing craft workshops scheduled. Science Fiction craft this month, Short Story writing craft in April, and Fantasy craft in September. (Last two have a spot or…

January Workshops Starting
Romance Workshop and Others… On January 7th and 8th, the regular workshops for January are starting. And that includes the brand new How to Write Romance workshop. Besides the Lifetime Workshop Subscribers who can take a workshop when they like, only one person has signed up for the Romance workshop. But I am still going to record it and have fun doing so. I want to work through it myself, to be honest, to nail down some points for my own writing. Plus a number of the Lifetime Workshop Subscribers have said they are interested, so will do it for them as well. The regular workshops last six weeks and…

Working on The Decade Ahead
In More Ways Than One… Doing a lot of work on the first part of the year-long class The Decade Ahead. In early February it will also include a Pop-Up that anyone signed up for the class will get for free. And speaking of the year ahead and the years ahead, today I got to see a blog I will post here next week from WMG Publishing about all the projects we did in 2019. It will blow you away, because it stunned even me and Kris. I will post it a few days after it is on the WMG Publishing blog. Also today Allyson sent me the tentative “Production…

Workshop Details
A Number of Details on Workshops… First off, I have four more videos of a licensing holiday focus on the Licensing Transition workshop. Just a four-video idea is all. Something to think about. There will be more videos in that class before the end of the year. Second, the Licensing Transition and the Shared Worlds classes (that will continue on until July) will be closed for new sign-ups on the last day of this month. Two people have asked me to hold them open until then, but that’s it, so if you have been thinking about them, don’t delay now. Sign up on Teachable. And in a few days I…

A BUNCH OF WORKSHOP BUNDLES
And I Mean a Bunch!!… And some of these bundles would make fantastic holiday gifts for your writer friends. Or for yourself. And they are all less than buying each item on its own. And they can all be found on Teachable. So going to list them right here, just for fun. To start, there are four different Lifetime Subscriptions…. Workshops. Lectures. Study Along. Las Vegas. Then for the Pop-Ups, there are both 5 and 10 bundles. There is a bundle of the four Futures Workshops, maybe four of the best workshops we have done. There is a bundle of three Negotiations Lectures. And an Advanced Business Lectures bundle. And…

Anthology Workshop News and A Cat Picture
On Teachable Now for Assignments If you are in the anthology workshop and did not get a letter from me tonight (Sunday) on how to get into the anthology workshop on Teachable to get the third assignment, write me. ANOTHER RUN… Two in two days, although the Santa Run wasn’t much of a push because with that many people, running was almost impossible. Too much fun, anyway. But today was another matter. I was up before the sun came up and we were going off the starting line in Henderson at 8 am. Cold, wind in our faces, and uphill for exactly 1.5 miles. Without a break. Brutal. But I…

Licensing Transition Videos
And All December Workshops Started… That’s right, I have seven of the bunch of videos I will be doing this month in the Licensing Transition Class up. I emailed those in the group, but I noticed that a lot of those who signed up opted out of email notices, so nothing I can do on that. Most of these seven are just historical stuff about me and Kris and how looking at a decade is possible and impossible at the same time. Licensing takes time, got to learn how to think longer-term, something most writers find almost impossible to do. And also the December regular workshops have all started up.…
