Yesterday I finished the final lesson on the new writing course. So I’m taking today off, and relaxing. I’ll be thinking about the bonus course. I have several ideas, and I’ll be digging through the HollysWritingClasses.com forum for additional ideas. I have a specific topic — Big Course… Bonus Brainstorming — and if you’re a… Continue reading The Secret Writing Class is finished… except for bonus course…

Like what I… Continue reading Finished through Lesson 20 on the new Secret Writing Class today
Just 6 more lessons to build on the new Secret Writing Course
Today went really, really well. Finished the lesson (did most of it yesterday), and built out the worksheet today.

So I’ll be sort… Continue reading Just 6 more lessons to build on the new Secret Writing Course
The Money-Grubbing Asshat from Berkeley
I do email first thing, and then last thing. And this morning, my first goddamn email was a notice from the Berkeley Humane Society telling me that August is National Make-A-Will Month, and offering me their Personal Estate Planning Kit so I could leave them all my money when I die. Shitbags. This is pure… Continue reading The Money-Grubbing Asshat from Berkeley
NEW SECRET BIG COURSE: Lesson 15 is Started. And finished.
Sat down. Wrote. I knew what I wanted, I knew what I needed… And I love it when a plan comes together. Damn! Granted, I’m out of bed at 6 AM, and hauling ass for five straight hours on just this one thing, so this project is NOT coming together out of magic and fairy… Continue reading NEW SECRET BIG COURSE: Lesson 15 is Started.

And LESSON 14 is finished!
This one was tough, requiring a lot of thought on my part… but it should be a pretty simple lesson for writers to get the hang of.

Secret Course Lesson 13 now done, worksheet has to wait until tomorrow
This particular lesson was tougher to break down into pieces — so it took me from 6 AM until just now just to lay out the lesson, and then write it out. So now I have to stop, but I’ll come back in tomorrow, and do a read-through, and from that, figure out some ways… Continue reading Secret Course Lesson 13 now done, worksheet has to wait until tomorrow

I’m STILL in the middle of building my new Secret Big Class. Just finished Lesson 11 — a pretty big lesson. I’m currently looking an about twenty lessons total, so I’m making really good headway.

Very happy with what I got today on the SECRET TOPIC Fiction-Writing Big Course. I’m moving steadily through the lessons and worksheets.
