A couple of things have changed in my life recently, one of which has been the writing of Dead Man’s Party, my demo novel for the writing class I’m currently building, How to Write a Novel. I’ve been dedicating one concentrated hour or so a week to the writing of the first draft (and a bloody awful first draft it … Continue reading →
I think in general we as human beings like to think we’re on top of things. That we have a pretty good bead on not just where we are, but where we’ve been, and where we’re going. I’m working on Lesson 16 of How to Write a Novel this morning, which is about voice and tone, and to show writers … Continue reading →
At the top of this (and every) page on the site, you’ll currently see a little timer. Today is the last day of my How to Write a Novel Early-Bird Launch, where the price is about 50% off my projected final price once the class is done. And as I write this, we’re down to the LAST SIX HOURS. I … Continue reading →

Yesterday was EPIC… And by that I mean that it was the worst launch start I’ve ever been through. Better yet, the wreck was my fault. I had, you see, this wonderful idea. We would have a way for folks in the shop to buy gifts for other writers, and to send those gifts directly — nice little note that … Continue reading →
This has to be quick, because I still have to do my OWN worksheets before the show so I can discuss how I got the idea I got. Since I don’t yet HAVE the idea… you see the problem. Download your worksheets here: https://www.alonewithinvisiblepeople.com/downloads/#youtube1 The workshop is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etaIXTw7BbM Starts at 1:00 PM, I may open a couple minutes early to test … Continue reading →
A LOT of folks bought in the first hour. Far more than I expected. Stripe (our credit card processor) held up under the strain. PayPal single payment processing held up under the strain. Our PayPal subscriptions option, which got hit the heaviest, broke. Payments went through, but so many sub setups were hitting at the same time that that the … Continue reading →
