    The Two New Workshops Again

    September Has Two New Workshops… Full descriptions below of the two new ones. I posted these a while back but I think they got missed. The How to Use Tags workshop is looking to be a special one.

If you have a workshop credit you would like to use, or any questions, write me directly at dean.wmgworkshops@gmail.com Told you we were going to be doing a bunch of new workshops this year.

    Some Challenge and Lifetime Questions Answered

    Lifetime Subscriptions and the Challenges… I got some more questions I thought were good ones about the lifetime subscriptions, so here on a Saturday night I figured I would quickly answer them to hit my streak of daily blogs. (grin) And remind you about the short story and novel challenge starting in September.

In fact, if you paid for all the workshops in the subscription, it would cost over $13,000. Wow! No idea there were that many. The key is that you can take workshops…

    Off and Running

    Also Getting Back Into Shape… The goal is 13 weeks from this weekend to run/walk in the Las Vegas Marathon and complete it around four hours. So not only with the writing goals, I have an exercise and health goal. I considered today Day One, and got off to a good start. Did well over 10,000 steps (5 miles plus) of which a half mile of that was running. I want to do about 40 miles per week of walking. Then over the next 13 weeks really ramp up the totals on the running. Can you tell I am getting settled in here in Vegas? (grin) Reminder!!! August Regular Workshops…

    It’s That Time… August Regular Online Workshops are starting up. Actually, this caught me by surprise tonight as well. Sort of snuck up on me to be honest with all the travel and move stuff.
