A Very Diverse Sunday

I Did Just About Everything Today…

One of those days that I worked on just about everything.

Started off the day with a writer’s meeting at WMG. Fun discussions. Then Kris and I went for a walk to get some milage in (I didn’t hit five, but got to four miles again).

Then I stayed at WMG to work on workshop recordings and the new lecture series stuff coming.

Then home to take a nap and cook dinner. After that I managed all my e-mail and workshop assignments before heading to my writing computer.

I got two sessions on the novel of just at 1,900 words.

Then back to this computer to write the stuff about the lectures. Then I read stories for the challenge. Writers in the challenge starting in May are doing great.

Speaking of challenge, still room for a few more crazy folks in the novel challenge starting the first of June. The rules are back on https://deanwesleysmith.com/a-novel-challenge/

MAJOR WRITING BUNDLE

Just THREE days left. Don’t miss this one. Very, very inexpensive education.

Amazing stuff for only $15 or $20 bucks.  And AbleGamers is the charity on this bundle, which is one of the best causes I have ever seen.

Authors in this are Mary Buckham, Tonya D. Price, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Lawrence Block, me, Maggie McVay Lynch, Leah Cutter, Chuck Heintzelman, and Joanna Penn. Plus a $50 lecture from WMG, a discount to get Jutoh, and a discount to all the stuff at a Writer’s Cafe.

You can get it all for $15.00 or $20.00 and give some to AbleGamers. If you are serious about learning your craft and business of writing, this is about as cheap as it comes, folks.
