    And about the New Secret Writing Course…

    I discovered there were two essential lessons I left out. So I wrote them. And now THEY’RE done. Now I’m contemplating some sort of bonus for the course, but in the meantime, I’m going to be setting up the new classroom with the lessons, and getting everything ready to make the course available to students.…

  • The Secret Writing Class is finished… except for bonus course…

    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…

  • Finished through Lesson 20 on the new Secret Writing Class today

    Finished through Lesson 20 on the new Secret Writing Class today

    Lesson AND worksheet — took a couple of days on this one, but this was one of those strange sideways-thinking lessons that lets you get at parts of your story that are going to be unexpected and exciting for readers, and that will give you fresh perspectives soon your characters and world. Like what I…

  • Just 6 more lessons to build on the new Secret Writing Course

    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. I’ll be working light the rest of the week, because my best friend from high school is going to be in town for her reunion (she was a year ahead of me). So I’ll be sort…

  • NEW SECRET BIG COURSE: Lesson 15 is Started. And finished.

    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…

  • And LESSON 14 is finished!

    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. So tomorrow I’ll start on Lesson 15, which from the subject matter I’m betting is going to be a whole lotta fun, not just to write, but to…

  • Secret Course Lesson 13 now done, worksheet has to wait until tomorrow

    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…

  • Finished Lesson 12 of the Secret Writing Course today…

    Finished Lesson 12 of the Secret Writing Course today…

    I have twenty-four lessons planned, and am still brainstorming possible bonuses — but the first half of the class is now DONE. Lessons and worksheets are in finished form, and the course is being tested LIVE as I write it. And as always, writing a big course is helping me figure out things I need…

  • Update on the new Big Writing Course

    Update on the new Big Writing Course

    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. And… I’m excited about the way this class is coming together. Had no idea what I was going to offer…

  • And wrapped the new Big Course Lesson 9

    And wrapped the new Big Course Lesson 9

    Very happy with what I got today on the SECRET TOPIC Fiction-Writing Big Course. I’m moving steadily through the lessons and worksheets. Finished Lesson NINE of twenty-three planned, so I’m not to the halfway point yet (that will be when I FINISH lesson 12), but I’m making very good progress. Won’t put it on sale…
