The Journal, Wednesday, 8/30

Hey Folks,

Not a lot to talk about today.

I started the day a little late. Still catching up on my sleep, I guess.

I made my rounds of the Internet. DWS is back, mostly. I listened to the vids from Week 4 of my current workshop and enjoyed it. A lot of meat there. I guess maybe there was a lot of meat in Weeks 2 and 3 as well, but I wasn’t as interested in those. It would depend on where your interests lie.

I also received a link to my FREE copy of “Write. Publish. Repeat Conversations” (videos on Udemy) in which the guys I told you about a couple of days ago share a ton of information.

If you haven’t done so yet, see “10 Steps to Making a Living as a Self-Published Fiction Author” at https://sterlingandstone.net/make-living-self-published-fiction-author/. That’s where the “Write. Publish etc.” stuff above came from.

They probably will try to upsell you on some things, but it isn’t high-pressure stuff and they’re offering a wealth of information free.

In the past three days I’ve read To Have and Have Not and The Sun Also Rises. But I’m about read out. Or maybe rested out. I want to get back to my version of work.

It seems today is mostly gone already. I’ll read a little more, probably some noir PI stuff, and call it a day.

Back tomorrow.
