Still Time to Read The Weekly Man Free
It’s been a week since I posted the last episode of The Weekly Man…seventy-two all together over a period of two and a half months. It was tough. It was sometimes a royal pain in the butt, especially when one of more of the technologies ran amok and I tried to tear hairs out of my bald scalp.
But it’s done and every episode was posted before midnight each day…ready for your next day coffee break.
: )
Isn’t it just so damn cool when something turns out the way you dreamed it would be? Even if it costs your social life and sanity…things that I’d already lost anyway.
: )
I’m going to leave both the blog (https://theweeklyman.com/) and smartphone (https://biffmitchell.com/welcome-to-t...) versions up for a while to give people a chance to finish reading them. If you have a lot of catching up to do, though, that might be a problem: opening 72 PDFs for the phone version and scrolling up and down the blog version and reading in such an unnatural manner as to cause irreversible brain damage.
On the other hand, you might want to wait until early to mid-2020 for the print version. It won’t be free, but it’ll be easier on your head. And it will include a massive re-write. Check back here for details as they unfold.
I’ll also be starting a newsletter. I don’t want to start a newsletter, but some of my friends are insisting that I do, or they’ll unfriend me on Facebook. Others are sending death threats. At first, they wanted me to start a podcast. 🙂 Yeah, I’ll get right on that. I can barely use my phone.
But, I have a membership at Mailchimp and I hope to have the first edition of the newsletter out before Christmas.
And finally, I’ve started the story dump for the sequel to The Weekly Man. This one’s going to be really weird.
I promise.

Writing Hurts Like Hell is a workshop taught by Biff Mitchell for a decade through the University of New Brunswick's College of Extended Learning. Held mostly off-campus in coffee shops, bars, studios, hot tubs, parks and mall food courts, the workshop focussed more on becoming a writer than learning how to right by teaching aspiring writers how to see, feel, hear, smell and taste the world the way a writer does.
The workshop also examined, mostly through discussion, topics such as how to present violence to match the story, write sex scenes that aren't pornography (unless, of course, the book is pornography), write humor and use foul language convincingly.
The workshop is currently available in print and ebook formats. Just Google Writing Hurts Like Hell by Biff Mitchell. ...more
