Workshops Starting!!
MAY INSIDER’S GUIDE Workshops Sunday the two May Insider’s Guide workshops will be starting. The first live webinars for each will be one week from Sunday and they run for four weeks, with recorded videos and assignments every week and a webinar at the end of every week. The webinars are basically me talking for an hour with you folks asking questions that I answer. It is live, but I am the only one on video. Everyone else is asking questions through a chat function. These two are going to be great fun. And I am still laughing about the first assignment Kris came up with for the Writing Detective…

Some Questions About the New Workshop Location
Got some Great Questions About the New In-Person Workshops in Las Vegas. Let me just list the questions and then below I have copied the announcement again. Question: Room Rate the Same for Both Early Bird and those who pay later? Answer: Yes. We will have the room block set for each workshop and will send those who are paid the code to the room block to get the discounts. We will send out those hotel codes as soon as you pay for the workshop. If the block fills, those who get in late will most likely end up paying a little more. We will try to solve that if…

In-Person Workshops Moving to Las Vegas!!!
Starting in October… That’s right, after this summer Series Workshop here in Lincoln City, all “coast workshops” will be held in Las Vegas. That’s right, after almost twenty years here (first was in 1999), we are graduating the in-person workshops up to the next level. I will be writing those signed up for the two workshops coming up, the Business Master Class in October and the Anthology Workshop in early March to confirm if you still want to attend or not. Or you can contact me. Either way is fine. There are slight changes to format and schedule which will make this better for everyone. (We talked to a lot…

Insider’s Guide Webinar Workshops…
INSIDER’S GUIDE Workshops… Yup, we changed the name. And are now taking sign-ups. They are webinar workshops, with a combination of recorded videos and a weekly in-person session webinar. Four weeks long. The workshop will have five or six recorded videos per week, plus an assignment, then the four live webinar chats, one per week, to answer questions and such after everyone has had time to go through the videos and assignments. Yup, you get to ask me questions directly. And listen to other writer’s questions. I think this will be great fun. We will limit it to 10 writers plus the Lifetime Subscribers. (Lifetime Subscribers get in if they…

Cold Poker Gang Novels
Amazing Video For My Cold Poker Gang Novels… I love writing this series and have a new one in the works called Side Pot that I will track the writing for everyone here once I finish the book I am working on.

You can see the entire series and get links to purchase here. —————- REGULAR WORKSHOPS… This weekend I will be sending out the information to those signed up on the March regular workshops.

Lifetime Subscriptions to Workshops and Lectures
Finally Available… The numbers of workshops we now have available has gotten amazing. From the new Pop-Up workshops which worked great from my side, to the Classic workshops, to the Strengths, to the Regular Monthly workshops. Thousands of videos about writing. If you would have told me it would build to this five years ago, I would have screamed and run into the street. But honestly, looking at it now, because of the workshops and putting them together, I am a much, much better writer. And I have had a blast. And I am still having fun and just as passionate about learning as I was five years ago. You…

Fun Reading Time
Great Stories and Stuff… I am at a fun time I go through every year. I have a massive number of really good short stories to read for the anthology workshop. I actually look forward to this every year, to be honest. I am also finishing up the last notes on the novel challenge and will get those back in the next day or so to everyone in the last novel challenge. So really fun writing there as well. So having fun reading. Not as much fun as writing, but still great fun. And also writing the interstitials for Fiction River: Hard Choices. That’s great fun looking back over those…
