Category: How To Think Sideways

  • Decided to give BOTH courses as scholarships

    Quick note: I’ve decided I’ll give anyone who buys Jeff Walker’s product creation and launch course through my link scholarships for BOTH the How To Think Sideways novel-writing course, and the How To Revise Your Novel course. If you buy through my link, you get Think Sideways AND Revise Your Novel. The course goes live…

  • Full-Ride Scholarships for Think Sidways and Revise Your Novel

    I have recommended Jeff Walker in the past for writers who need to know how to self-promote and how to create income to pay for their writing—he taught me, and changed my life in doing so. He has a new class coming up. But the price can be steep (depending on who you are). When…

  • Courses, classes, and novel for 2011

    So…I’ve been MIA for a bit more than two months. I’m back now, and ready to get down to the cool stuff, but before I get to that, here’s where I’ve been, and why: After losing just about six months last year to constant migraines, vertigo, and there for a while the dread that I…

  • I’m not dead. I’m doing taxes.

    Pretty much the same thing, right? I have news, I have course announcements, and I have other things—but those all have to wait until the tax stuff is done. I’ll try to post all the good stuff here on February 1st. Until then, I’m singing Eleven months out of the year It’s fun to be…

  • NovelWritingSchool.com coming in November

    I have the temporary front page up here: http://novelwritingschool.com/ I have beta testers going through a free plot-outline course (a major upgrade on the current version done via e-mail on THIS site). We’re finding bugs and getting them out of the way now. Once we get the bugs out, this will go live for EVERYONE,…

  • “I Have A [Writing] Dream”

    “I Have A [Writing] Dream”

    Fiction is my passion. Stories that matter and that have something to say were my earliest independent love, they have been the focus of my creativity for a quarter century now, and I have made them my career. Now, a few months from fifty, I want to tell you about the vision I have for…

  • Mostly ‘Cause Tomorrow’s My Birthday

    I could have worked tonight. But I decided since tomorrow is my birthday to stay up late with my guys, watch the conclusion of “Life on Mars,” play Fable II, knit a pair of socks, and just have a good time. No words. No words tomorrow, though I’ll put up a post. No words Friday.…

  • Motivation, Third Video, Now available

    The third of four videos for THE WRITING CRAFT: How To Motivate Yourself is now available in the student area for all Think Sideways students who have reached Lesson 5 or later, and for all Think Sideways Grads. Handouts and other things that will be included will have to wait until next week, along with…

  • Stress, Migraines, and Stuff You Love

    As noted elsewhere—I hauled ass like nobody’s business for eight months to create a way for me to write the novel I wanted to write without having to do it to anybody’s specifications but my own. My mad plan worked, and for the first time since I was an RN, I had a regular, reasonable…

  • Adding A New Way To Pay

    Over the last three or so years, since I brought out Create A Character Clinic, I’ve had requests to add another way to pay besides PayPal. I’m finally able to do so, and am looking at three alternative methods. (PayPal will remain my preferred method, but I want to be able to meet the needs…
