Holy Smokes… It Is July!
July Workshops Are Starting… I had no idea how it got to be suddenly July. Do we need to send out a search party for June? Wow, that Licensing Expo and all the learning just took June and flashed it past for me. So anyhow, working on reading challenge stories and getting out stretch rewards to the wonderful backers of Kris’s Diving Series. And because I didn’t realize it was July already, I almost forgot to do the assignments for the June workshops tonight and start the July ones. Almost no one signed up in the July workshops, so if interested, lots of room, just like this time every year.…

Got Sidetracked Tonight
Reading… Time just went flashing past. So this won’t be much of a post beyond what I need to do to meet my challenge streak of this daily blog since I am an hour beyond when I normally head to bed. Both novel and short story Great Challenges are still open. And the Licensing Learn Along will be open for one more week before I shut down sign-ups on it. All on Teachable. July Workshops will be starting in one week. The Writing Westerns will be there and I will be adding it to the Lifetime Subscriptions in a day or so. (It is the 7th new workshop added to…

Quick Saturday Post
Romance Study Along… The Romance Craft Workshop here in Las Vegas is September 20th through 24th and is taught by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, aka Kristine Grayson. It has been full for some time and everyone is reading the reading list Kris gave out. But the Romance Study Along on Teachable still has openings. And those signed up in that also have the same reading list. There is still time to jump into the Study Along and have time to read all the books on the reading list and take part in the Study Along. But not much more time. So check it out on Teachable.

Not Much Tonight
Just Reading and Doing Videos… Reading Challenge stories, which are great fun, and recording a few videos for the Licensing Learn Along. Also managed to get back to writing on the new Cold Poker Gang novel as well. So great fun today all the way around, just not much to report on this Saturday night. So maybe I’ll start into a new book and lecture on Trademarks for Writers sometime this next week. Guess it’s time. (Update, wrote this early this morning, and thanks to a glitch it didn’t publish, so here it is now.)

Had Fun Today
First Day of the Licensing Expo… Wow, is that place massive. And I learned a ton. I talked about my day in three videos on the License Learn Along and put up a dozen or so pictures. I will be doing more posting over the next two days and then a bunch for three or four days after as I get rested and the information comes together. Then over the next few weeks I will talk about how Kris and I are digesting the information. You can still sign up on the Licensing Learn Along. What I can also say for sure after today is that the Master Business Class in…

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…

Free Lecture, Classic Workshop, and Workshop Discounts
Plus Some Fantastic Reading… Kris has a new Diving novel coming out this fall. It is huge, meaning 260,000 words. And she wanted to get it to her fans ahead of time, so she is doing a Kickstarter project. The name of the novel is THE RENEGAT. If you back the campaign at any level, you will get a copy of the book early, months before it comes out regularly. Also, Kris did two really cool special books for this Kickstarter. She took all her deleted sections and pieces from both THE RENEGAT and other Diving novels, did some essays, and put them together. It takes up two books and…

Workshop Decisions
Getting the Next Four Months Scheduled… And I have eight regular workshops a month. Down from twelve a month because a number have been moved to Classic Workshop status. So looking at scheduling a couple new workshops. But… I have hesitations… Time of Great Forgetting to start with. Why schedule and record a new workshop that almost no one will look at or even think of taking until August or September? Even lifetime subscribers are busy. I could easily just leave the schedule at 8 per month instead of 10 per month for the next few months. So that is tempting. Or I could record something that few will take…

Week Three Great Challenge
Happy To Say Everyone Hit It… Everyone who is writing a weekly short story got a story in. And a new person started and a couple others have not yet started, which is fine. In fact, perfectly fine to sign up at any point still. The Great Challenge is not filled and I am enjoying reading the stories. (Remember, you get workshop credit when you miss.) I won’t talk much about this challenge going forward, since life will cause writers to miss from this point onward. That will just happen. My hope is that a number of them make it all the way. That would be so cool! But that…

In this Future series for writers, we have available now (1) Refresh and Renew, (2) Opportunities, (3) Structure, and soon (4)Patience.

And we have a bundle available to get a discount if you buy all four of the Future’s workshops. All four Futures Workshops are in the Lifetime Subscription as well and anyone with a Lifetime…
