Creative Survival 1st Quarter 2024

Every Monday Four Videos On Ways to Help Your Writing Career.

Every Monday Dean and Kris will post four videos on helping you keep going with your writing, your writing business, your career. Positive, learning videos to help you start your week.

Overall Topics include but are not limited to during the full year...

-- Publishing

-- Writing

-- Craft of writing

-- Learning

-- Time Management

-- Critical Voice Management

-- Covers

-- Speed

-- Licensing

-- Out of Comfort Zone

-- Challenges and Streaks

-- Yearly and quarterly goals

-- Resetting

-- Stores and Kickstarters and other sales.

And so much more. Each video will be at least five minutes long and will talk in all the topics above and so much more.

In other words, every Monday you start your week off with four videos about the publishing industry and writing in general from two of the top working writers in the business who have both been full-time writers for over 40 years.

Just as with the Motivational Monday videos each week, these will always be positive.

There are no assignments to do and this covers the first quarter of the year.

And the videos will always be there to go back to if something comes up.
