Think Sideways is Finished

I just finished posting the final lesson and technique for the Think Sideways course. I’ll be adding bonuses, and going back through and revising the existing lessons based on the errata pages my students have been doing for me, but in spite of the holidays, I hit that final deadline.

Haven’t been around here, but that’s why. Holidays. Deadline. Tough combo.

Going to go sleep for a day or two.

Congrats, Holly!

It’s an awesome course! Thank you so so much for helping me finally crack through the blockage. I sent a proposal packet for the book out to my agent last week and should finish the full first draft within the next week or two. I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Sleep well! :)

Holly, how in sam hill do you manage to sleep after finishing a ms? I find that no matter how tired I am, the next idea is screaming to get out. I’ll actually go into a kind of depression if I’m not continually working on SOMEthing.

(I don’t expect an answer until after that couple days of sleep…)

Pleasant dreams. You’ve done great work. I’m finally able to use One Pass Revision on a book. Until the Think Sideways course, I wasn’t ready to put it all together and actually do it. I’m up to scene 6 in Twilight. It’s going slowly, but it’s moving forward.

Happy New Year.

Hi Holly,

Do the Charter Member benefits only being available through Jan 31 mean that to receive them on has to have finished the course then, or will one get them as long as one signs up before Feb 1st?

Dear Holly,
