Blog postAll July Workshops Now Available… Both new workshops starting in July are available now. (Both are on the Lifetime Subscription as well.)
Heinlein’s Business Rules Workshop will be far, far more than just going over the five simple rules. It will be how those simple five rules can turn you into a full-time professional fiction writer. They really are a major secret to writing and for the first time, Kris and I are going to give those business rules six full weeks of attention. You wi -
Blog postSo Much Stuff To Keep Track Of… I have been talking this last half year with the challenge about how not being able to keep track of a lot of stories has flat stopped me a number of times. And two days ago I was looking for a Poker Boy story I remember writing, but it was not in my Smith’s Monthly spread sheet and I ended up finding two other Poker Boy stories that I had written and lost in files that had never seen the light of day, but still did not find the story I have a memory of

Blog postTime Off… Shocker… Even two people who never take much time away from writing and publishing, take part of a night off at times.
Dinner in a great restaurant at the Wyn, And we even had deserts. Real shocker.
Then walked around to get some steps before the show, mostly over to the big poker tournament to see how things were looking there.
We had great seats. Mezzanine level, front row. Perfect.
I went in not knowing what to expect, but wow were they funny. Hou -
Blog postStunningly Good! I’m not going to say anything about it in detail, because I don’t want to ruin it for all the fans, but I will just say this: It is amazing and I can hardly wait for her to finish the next one (third one). And now the first novella makes a ton of sense. How she does it is beyond me.
Bunch of stuff coming out this coming week. A new Smith’s Monthly and a new issue of Pulphouse Magazine, among two of them.
And working on a new Pulphouse Magazine Kickstarter sub -
Blog postMy Blog Streak Almost Got Broken… 40 days from 10 straight years of blogging every day and it almost got broken last night. Luckily, I did that blog and posted it early in the evening, like I am doing this one.
Because sometime later in the night, the horrid server that I pay far too much money every year for their (lack of) services, decided without warning to completely update all kinds of things.
And the sign on my site said “Out of Service” and they left it at that. In es -
Blog postThe First In a New Series of Classes… Kris and I tend to spend a lot of lunches out in restaurants with a notebook, planning workshops. Usually we have a focus, like a certain week in a class that needs to be recorded. We make sure that I am recording the workshop we want it to be. Between the two of us, we think we hit good workshops more than we miss.
And sometimes in these lunch discussions we just end up with new ideas for workshops that we think would be fun or valuable. A -
Blog postEverything Sent Out… Except the Interview Stretch Rewards with Kris…She and I are recording those now and as soon as we are done and I get them loaded, we will send out codes to get into them on Teachable
So if you didn’t get the ten books in the Starter Kit, or any of the other books, first check your spam filter, then make sure you are on your Kickstarter email, and if you still don’t have them by Tuesday, write to Subscriptions@wmgbooks.com and Josh will track them for you.

Blog postFinally Started It… Every Monday Kris and I will post new Recommended Classes of the Week (They have a picture of Cheeps on them).
Normally each week will consist of a classic workshop with six weeks worth of videos on the weekly topic, a Pop-Up class on the same general topic, and a lecture. Plus there will also be a link to get an electronic book on the same topic.
Total value for the class for each part bought on its own is $355.
The price of the Recommended Class -
Blog postSo This Will Be A Short Post… This is the second full NEW novel of THE FEY that Kris has finished since the Kickstarter. (Plus the novella, of course.) And she has finished the book about writing of the Fey and is almost done with the videos, so we can get that up and out. (I will do a Kickstarter Update this coming week.)
I have been trying to hold myself to only reading three or four chapters a night because of my eyes. But that failed tonight (as I should have expected with Kris’s -
Blog postTo Another Challenge I Finished… 70@70 Challenge. I wanted to publish 70 major books in my 70th year on the planet. Basically from the middle of November, 2020 to the middle of November, 2021.
And with the fantastic help of the crew at WMG Publishing Inc, I somehow managed it. Yeah, I know… I am that crazy.
I considered a major book as any novel or novella or something I edited like a magazine or collection, or any major novel or book that had to be redone from scratch. It ha
