In A Hurry
All Writers Early On Are In A Hurry… I know for a fact I was no exception to that fact when I started publishing. And I have talked about this here and in workshops a lot of times in a lot of different ways. But today and tonight I had a couple reminders. Two reminders from writers, one reminder as I was recording some new videos for the Licensing Transition (they are not posted yet. More to record tomorrow.) One aspect about licensing is that nothing happens fast. And it often will take years to build a good license with a partner. I will talk about that more in the…

Workshops and More Workshops
Cyber Monday… Got a hunch everyone is shopping for all kinds of nifty things today online. But in that spirit, besides the fact that seven new Classic Workshops are now available and two Classic Workshop bundles available only for December, I wanted to remind those interested that the December workshops start Tuesday and Wednesday. Information on the Classic Workshop Bundles in yesterday’s post right below this. And all of you who got the special How to Write a Holiday Story workshop in the Kickstarter should have gotten a letter from me last week with the ability to pick which of the two sessions (December or January) you want to take…

Classic Workshops
And Two December Specials!!! All seven of the new classic workshops are now up and available. Classic workshops are workshops that have been moved from regular workshops to make more room and are half the original price ($150). But you do not turn in the assignments, just do them for yourself at your own pace. We now have 29 Classic Workshops available. And seven of them are newly in Classic status. So, for only the month of December, we put all seven in a bundle and reduced the price. You can still buy them one-at-a-time on Teachable for $150 each. But you can also get all seven in a bundle,…

New Videos In Shared World Class
Plus the First Assignment… There will be numbers of assignments and stories to write over the months of this Shared World class. Going to be great fun, so any of you in the class, make sure you find time in the next few days to take a look. The assignment isn’t due until the 15th, but it will take some time to do correctly. And for those of you thinking about taking the class, I will shut it down on the 8th of December. Held it open longer than I had planned because a few people asked. So if interested, don’t delay and miss it. I will have new videos…

Some Misc Stuff
I Got a Couple of Questions About Why… … I was cut off the marathon course at mile 11 instead of later on. Simple math is the answer. I had reached the 11 mile turn at 2 hours and 10 minutes. Now I had on my planned-out schedule that was about the latest I could hit that point and I was wrong by a few minutes. It was too late. Actually, I wanted to hit it under two hours. Here is the thinking… I did 11 miles, while fresh, in 2 hours and 10 minutes. That means if I was lucky, I was going to do the next 11 miles…

Wow, Am I Behind
With Just About Everything… But I am now back and focused. However, I did spend the day doing a lot of recovery from the run yesterday. Two naps, some groaning while standing up, no real walking any distance. I walked/ran 17.4 miles yesterday by my Fitbit calculations. Upped my weekly average some. (grin) So those of you who have stories in that I have not read, expect them to come pouring your way this week. And through the weekend. I can only read so much at one sitting on a computer because of my eye. And I will be also getting the December workshops up and available. And the code…

If You Want To Watch My Talk
It Seems It Has Been Posted to YouTube… Kris’s talk is not there yet that we could find, but a friend sent me the link to my 45 minute talk for the 20Books Conference. Seems being under the bright lights had a reason. So if you want to actually spend 45 minutes watching or listening to it, here it is. It is about attitude and those nine points I posted yesterday. Start at the beginning. For some reason this link starts in the middle.

Saving The World Storybundle Almost Done!
ONLY DAYS LEFT… I set off to put this Storybundle called Saving the World together with a goal. I wanted to find as many ways as possible to save the world and as many worlds as possible to save. I figured that would be really fun for me to read and I hoped that a lot of you would feel the same. And what I was lucky enough to end up with is eight novels and two major collections of short stories, all fantastic. And fun. And on top of that, four of the books in this bundle can ONLY be found in this bundle. That’s right, they are exclusive…
