USING THE FLASH SALE…
… To Keep Focused Over the Next Few Months… We are in the Time of Great Forgetting, where writers with the best of intentions and the firmest of deadlines just sort of find days and weeks and months going by with little getting done with the writing and publishing. The time lasts from the middle of April until August 1st. (Why do you think so many major movies come out during these months?) This is a time to play for the population, to garden, to travel, and especially after the last two years, we all want to get out and do anything. So Kris and I figured that a very…

Fun New Stuff…
Next Kickstarter Campaign Will Have 10 Stretch Goals… They will have a new form of video event that will be amazing fun, a different one in each stretch reward. I will explain those as we get closer to firing up the campaign. Everyone at WMG is excited about them and no, they are not pop-ups. (Pop-Up stretch awards from the Seeders campaign should go out by Friday. I will announce it here and in an update. But starting on Monday, as a form of inflation-busting help, we are starting something new on Teachable: RECOMMENDED CLASSES OF THE WEEK. Basically a Bundle of Recommended Classes for that week. Each bundle will…

Media Kit Workshop
Changing Some Workshop Stuff… Going to finally climb off the two-month rotation of workshops and offer every regular workshop every month. Just going to be so much easier, but going to take me a little time to get June workshops, the first month for that, loaded up. Also the two special workshops, Ideas and Time in Space from the last Kickstarter campaign start their last sessions on May 3rd. Everyone got the links and codes for those a month ago. As far as the Focused Study stuff, we are still doing that for anything you think you might need help with. We will tell you if it is the right…

Secrets Going Classic
Secrets of Craft Workshop…. Going to classic. That’s right, we only offerer it once, but the class turned out to not be what Kris and I were hoping, so in this next week I will move it to Classic status, as well as a couple others I have been meaning to do. So before the sale is over, there will be new Classic Workshops. Stay Tuned! Remember, if you want to get anything on Teachable at half price, including the new Lifetime Subscription to All Pop-Ups, just find the class and hit Purchase and then put in the code SpringSale and hit apply and you will get the class for…

Why All The Stretch Rewards?
Why Give So Much Away? Got that question a lot this time, more than any other campaign we have done, although I must admit, that question is pretty normal for our campaigns. If a person does a $5 pledge to get an early copy of RESCUE TWO in electronic form, as I write this they get ten more books and nine workshops worth $1,350.00. But that is about to jump one more goal to eleven books and ten workshops. Why do this? Why give so much away? Two major reasons, actually. First, this is a campaign for my new Seeders novel RESCUE TWO. It stands alone, but gives a good…

Twelve Hours And Doing Great!!
Seeders Kickstarter Campaign… Already Into Stretch Goals… Actually, we funded in about 40 minutes and hit the first stretch goal very quickly after that. Then we hit the next one this evening. The second one has not only a book as part of the reward for hitting the goal, but the first of ten possible Pop-Up classes on World Building in Science Fiction. Each Pop-Up is worth $150.00. So in case you want to take a look and help us pass the word to get as many of these Pop-Up Classes as we can, go to RESCUE TWO SEEDERS UNIVERSE KICKSTARTER. Here are the ten World Building Pop-Ups that if…

Back Working and Writing
Having Fun with the Writing… Other stuff is work. (grin) Doing my obligatory blog tonight ahead of the time change and then headed to get some sleep. I recorded the Motivational Monday videos tonight, and also recorded the third week of Secrets. And I hope everyone who was supposed to get the nine Pop-Up Mystery classes got them all right. If not, check your spam filter and then if still not there, contact subscriptions at WMGbooks on Monday. In this upcoming Seeders Kickstarter, we decided to do the same ten Pop-Up focused classes, only instead of mystery, we are aiming them at science fiction. And we are going to make…
