Went Picking Today

Not a Great Day for Picking, but Not Bad Either…

I actually spent half the time in the place today in Salem on my phone on eBay looking up German and French and British vintage china to see what prices I could get for it on eBay. (For some reason there was a lot of it.) Found some really nice stuff, not sets, just parts, but the entire cost of the dishes I did find was $2.42 cents (not a typo) and I bet we will list and sell most of that china for well over two hundred bucks. Now that’s a mark-up. (grin)

So a fun afternoon to break the routine of getting all these workshops switched over to Teachable. And for the next three afternoons in a row I get to run the south Pop Culture Collectables. Our main guy there is on a major picking trip up north. I’m looking forward to spending a few hours in the store. Haven’t done that for a while.

Wouldn’t the people coming in be shocked to know a bestselling writer with over a hundred-and-fifty novels was taking their money for their kid’s toy. (grin)

Promotions Package

Again, if I wasn’t clear in my post last night, WMG Publishing is not going to do this regularly or ever again for that matter. This is not a part of our new business model or something. This is a one-time offer to ten people. Period.

And yes, we still have a few spots open. Read the post ahead of this one and then write me if interested.

Short Story and Novel Challenge

I am only taking five on each challenge starting on January 1st. So don’t miss on this one if you want a great challenge to start off your new year. Details are a few posts back.

But basically 30 stories in sixty days or three novels in three months. You sign up, when you are done, you get two regular workshop credits. (And with me reading your work I’ll be able to tell you which workshops will help you the most.)

Cost is $600 (same price as two workshops, so I read for free). Write me at dean.wmgworkshops@gmail.com if interested in jumping in. I will shut it off at five per challenge.

This will really get your resolution to produce more off the ground in January. And yes, here there are spots open in both challenges.
