Two Posts About the New Workshop Sale
The Two Posts Before This One… Both posts talked about the In-Between workshop half-price sale and also all the new classes and workshops that are available this time. New Workshop Sale! New Workshops Now Available In Sale And remember, if you want to get any workshop on TEACHABLE.COM for half price, simply hit “Purchase” and then on the next page at the top put in the code: IN-BETWEEN All of the May regular 6-week workshops are available and all of the June regular 6-week workshops are available.

New Workshop Sale!!!
The Half-Price Code is… IN-BETWEEN Yes, It Has Been Two More Months of Covid… As I said months ago, I honestly never would have predicted this last spring. Not in a million years. Not many did, and those who did warn us of this, none of us listened. We just couldn’t imagine being locked up for MORE THAN a year. But at least now we have some hope on the horizon with the vaccines going out and so many of us getting them. But we are a long ways out of this, with 600 to 700 dying still every day in just this country. Back when WMG Publishing did what…

70 Publishing Challenge
Half Way There… I turned 70 back in the middle of November of 2020 and set up a challenge for myself. Actually a number of challenges. One was to complete a marathon and I did that in late November. I plan on one or two more marathons this coming fall. But I also sat up a publishing challenge for myself. I wanted to publish 70 major books (not counting individual short stories) with my name on the front cover. I did an update back in January when I said I was way behind. Well, I am now caught up. Granted, I only have twenty books published in five months, but…

Just Some Bits…
Saturday Night Clean-Up… I will finally get to have more hours for writing starting this coming week. Finally. So figured tonight when no one was around, I would clean up a few things. — The survey should go out on Tuesday or Wednesday for The Return of the Fey Kickstarter campaign. After that I will keep you informed on the campaign when other details go out. But next week will only be the surveys because we want to give everyone time to get them back to us. That way we don’t miss anyone. So when you get the survey, please fill it out as soon as you can. And thanks…

Figuring Out a Stretch Goal
Approaching Next Stretch Goal… The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign has 5 days left and we are nearing the 7th Stretch Goal (amazingly cool!). When we hit that goal, all backers will get the fantastic novel FANTASY LIFE by Kris and another Pop-Up writing class called Freedom Indie Publishing Provides. That is a $150 value. I have promised another stretch goal above the 7th, so I know for the 8th stretch reward it will be another $150 Pop-Up class called Creating Tension in Your Writing. We just have not decided on the next book for that goal. And if we get close to that goal, we will add yet…

Last Day of Writing a Novel in Half a Month
Chapter Fifteen: Day Fifteen of Writing a Novel in Half a Month Last day. Unless I don’t finish the book, then I will have to find a new name for this series of blog posts. So we shall see what happens today. Day Fifteen, Entry One. 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. I got up an hour early for some reason this morning, even though I went to bed at the same time.

Day Thirteen of Writing a Novel in Half a Month
Chapter Thirteen: Day Thirteen of Writing a Novel in Half a Month Last night got to bed at my normal 4 am time, but the allergies are still killing me, even with a pill today. And my hearing seemed to get even worse today. Clogged up it with that 30,000 foot in the air feeling trying to pop my ears. All day. On top of that, I was so stupidly busy, I flat forgot to come here and make some entries. Didn’t even think about it until 1 am in the morning. So I will reconstruct the day in one entry for this chapter. Day Thirteen, Entry One (And only).…

Day Twelve of Writing a Novel in a Half Month
Chapter Twelve: Day Twelve of Writing a Novel in Half a Month Last night got to bed at my normal 4 am time, but the allergies are killing me, even with a pill today. I have hearing issues anyway, but today felt like I was at 30,000 feet and my ears hadn’t popped yet. And even put in my hearing aids and all that did was make it seem worse. Have I said in previous springs how much I hate allergies? (grin) Day Twelve, Entry One. 12:15 pm to 2:00 pm. I got up around 11:30 and got to this internet computer at 12:15. Worked solid on workshop stuff and…

Day Eleven of Writing a Novel in Half a Month
Chapter Eleven: Day Eleven of Writing a Novel in Half a Month Last night got to bed at my normal 4 am time, still woke up exhausted at 11:30 am, but realized after a bi that was because of the crazy level of allergies that the winds are kicking up. Yikes. So feeling better after a bit. (Better living with drugs.) Day Eleven, Entry One. 12:15 pm to 2:00 pm. I worked straight through on email. Today is Sunday, which is a lot of deadlines for stuff, and writers always wait until deadlines, so email today has been brutal. So spent the entire almost two hours just cleaning that up.…
