NOTE: The special offer below ends at 5 p.m. PDT on March 19! To be sure you have the opportunity to take advantage of it, I’ve even set the Journal to go out today and tomorrow at noon instead of the normal time.
An Incredibly Generous Offer
As we all struggle to get through the pandemic and the government and public reaction to it…
Dean Wesley Smith and Kris Rusch are offering an incredible FIFTY PERCENT off everything on Teachable (see https://wmg-publishing-workshops-and-lectures.teachable.com/), but only for the next 48 hours. For details, including the special code, see “March Sadness Special” at https://kriswrites.com/2020/03/17/march-sadness-special/.
I urge you to find a way to take advantage of this while you can, partly for yourself and partly to thank Dean and Kris for their kindness.
And yes, I’m taking my own advice. There’s one course I’ve been wanting for awhile, and I just enrolled.
This could be the offer that jumpstarts your career as a writer or enables you to advance to a new plateau with your writing.
I’m sending this out early. Today I’ll write on the novel and report those numbers in Day 10 tomorrow.
Be safe, be well, and try not to go stir crazy.
Talk with you again soon.
