What others have said about this course:
“Your book is downright brilliant, a real blast! Over the weekend I finished the stalled plot for ‘Styngard 3′, the plot for a new thriller and another one for a science fiction novel. 43 hours in 2.5 days.”
Richard Norden
“I surprised the heck out of my Muse over the weekend with the techniques in your book.”
lizb
“Four words: this book is great. I have no idea what exactly it was in the book that did it, but after I did a read-through, something went *click*, and I got 27 line-for-scene cards done in fifteen minutes. That’s a lot more scene ideas than what I had in the last year or so I’ve been trying to start my series! I got the plot for the first book in order, and I’ve been actually thinking about it almost constantly, instead of when I’m really bored. I’m already getting solid ideas for the next few books.”
michelem31
“I was a little scared by how well it worked for something so simple. Amazing.” Zink Johnson
“I can’t even begin to explain how useful the first tool (questions) has been for me. Thank you so much. You are the first person to explain how to relate with Ms. Muse in a way that made sense to me.”

Dictate your book right onto your Macintosh
Two people administrate this site. One is a proficient typist and accurate speller and works with a Windows PC, the other is all thumbs, always
has the dictionary open and works on a mac. Guess which one I am. Yep I’m the one who can’t type or spell and goes against the mainstream PC usage. How has this affected me? I don’t do nearly as much writing as I would like for myself. The other problem is when I do write fast enough for the ideas to flow I have to spend a LOT of time going back over and correcting my errors and clumsy fingers.
I have found a solution! MacSpeech has a dictation program for Mac that allows you to Dictate to your Mac. Years ago I tried an earlier version of this program on a friends Mac and found it wonderful and fairly intuitive. It had learned his voice so he was able to speak right along swiftly and accurately. Editing was simple using voice commands and dialogs brought up options that were necessary.
We set me up as a user and went through the steps for my voice and low and behold I was able to dictate right into his Mac, the more I used it the better it worked! The problem, it was on his Desk not mine.
Now I read that improvements have been made in recognition and interface. How long until this is on MY desktop? Not very long at all and when it is I will add to this post and let everyone know just how well it works now after several years of improvement. Fortunately I meet the system requirements: Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) through Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Internet connection required for product registration. MacSpeech-certified noise-canceling microphone (included with new purchase). OK I copied that from their site, but it is good to know.
There are dictation products for Windows, but they don’t do much good for those of us on a Mac so when a great sounding product comes along I like to let people know. One quote on the MacSpeeke website is: I absolutely am thrilled with the clarity, speed, accuracy of the dictation, word recognition, spelling and EASE of use. I use it primarily for feature/ column stories but also for radio copy and invoices. Wonderful product for many applications. THANK you!
Do you already use MacSpeech? If you do by all means leave a comment below and let everyone know what you think.

Mike McMillan , author of this eBook makes a compelling argument and teaches you how to truly understand the techniques, styles and most of all how to market your launch of the book and eBook that you have published.
Let’s face it, without getting your book into the hands of the masses, your fantastic reach of literature, will just collect dust on the shelves of the cloud computing servers in the sky.
We encourage you to take a closer look at his program and see for yourself. This course is offered in over 1,400 colleges across the United States and student pay up to $99 for this course, but through How to Write A Book Online Classes we are able to offer a significant discount.

What Does Mike McMillan Teach About How to Write An eBook
I work with intelligent individuals who are serious about creating and selling books and eBooks online. I say I work with such people, because joining with me goes way beyond just buying my product. Once people get in, we exchange emails. I offer continuing consultation to help solve problems and get my people on the fast track to making money with their publications.
There Is A Blueprint For Success
You must understand the blueprint of success that virtually every million-dollar eBook seller uses. And when you understand that blueprint you will say, “Oh my gosh, it makes so much sense to me now!” But unfortunately, you will never figure that out on your own!
You must have a reasonably good eBook, but it doesn’t even have to be great. A lot of the guys making $20,000 a month in this business are absolutely horrible writers and their books are pure junk! Now, I’d like you to write a great eBook, but how good your book is, isn’t what determines whether you’ll make the big time–it’s understanding the blueprint!
Your Product Launch Is Everything!
You have to learn the secret to making a big splash when your ebook comes out. Ebooks never start out slow and work their way up to making their authors a fortune. The big guys in this business start out at the top of the charts when their eBook comes out. They make tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars the first week their book comes out. Then it fades away into oblivion.
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!
You are going to run into roadblocks, frustrations, and costly mistakes–and then you will simply give up before you make a dime. But if you think I’m wrong, go ahead, bull your way forward, and then come back in a few months tired, frustrated and broke! Flattened wallet in hand, and hopes of success dashed–maybe you will listen to me then.
60 Day Guarantee
It doesn’t matter if it’s two o’clock in the morning–It’s all waiting for you right now. Mike offers a 60 day unconditional, no questions asked, money-back guarantee. You get more, much more than you bargained for–and you risk nothing! This is a digital download course that you are purchasing, you will receive nothing my mail.

How to Write Dialogue with Subtext
How To Write Dialogue for a Novel
Do you have trouble with dialogue? Here’s a fantastic resource to help you develop and use it to create memorable and realistic characters that pop off the page!”
Writing good dialogue is trickier than it seems.
If you’ve ever said the words… “What My Characters Say On The Page Never Sounds As Good As What They Say In My Head!” …then help is here.
I hear that same complaint all the time from absolute beginners, unpublished “trunk novelists” with a couple of finished novels—or more—tucked away, and even sometimes from frustrated pros. When I was getting started (about 25 years and 32 published novels ago) I had the same complaint.
Writing dialogue seems like it ought to be the easiest thing in the world.
All you have to do is listen to people talk, and then write down things like what they say. Right? I know I tried this. Maybe you’ve already tried it, too.
When you put your theory into practice, though, you discover the hard truths about writing dialogue:
* Most things most people talk about are painfully boring (and if you copy those subjects and those people, your story will be boring).
* The subjects people talk about in daily life have nothing to do with the stories you’re writing (and coming up with things for them to talk about in your story can end up seeming artificial and forced).
* If you build your dialogue by listening to other people talk, your characters can all sound the same—or like bad parodies of people.

Video Episode Dialogue and Subtext
In THE WRITING CRAFT: Dialogue, my new fiction-writing course designed for novel and short story writers, I’ll be presenting eight one-hour (or more) video lessons with worksheets and transcripts that will show you exactly where you’ve been going wrong with your dialogue, and exactly what you can do to fix it.
In Episode One: Dialogue and Subtext, you’ll discover:
How To Make Two Characters
Talking About The Weather
As Exciting As A Life Or Death Meeting
Between Enemy Spies.
The trick is in your subtext—in knowing what subtext is, in knowing WHERE it is, and in knowing how to present it.
In one hour, I’ll completely demystify the whole aura of inaccessability that writers have built around subtext over the years.
* An absolute beginner who has never even heard of subtext can understand this in an hour.
* Can take the process apart and put it back together right then.
* Can use it the same day—the same hour—to start making the things your characters talk about funny, or poignant, or heart-stoppingly scary…
* In one hour, you can take the first step to making the words on your page as good as the words in your head.
You Can Do This! Actually… You KNOW You Need This!

In THE WRITING CRAFT: Dialogue and Subtext, you will learn:
* What subtext is, and what it isn’t—and how this simple definition opens the doors for you to create rich, multilayered characters in stories that interweave suspense, hidden action, deception, triumph, hopes and dreams with depth you’ve never achieved before.
* How to break apart subtext into its three elements—thoughts, words, and actions—and how, once you have the whole thing in pieces, you can easily adapt each piece to do different things for you. Talking about the weather will no longer just be talking about the weather.
* How to put the pieces back together again in four ways that will allow you to use subtexts in any situation where you need it: from a character sitting alone in a room to a group of characters enmeshed in a heated argument. Get EXACTLY the effect you want from every dialogue—internal or external, solo or group—your characters have.
* Finally, you’ll put everything you’ve learned into practice. Using the provided worksheet, you will begin writing dialogue with subtext today.

How to Write Page Turning Scenes
How To Write Page Turning Scenes
Our step-by-step course in keeping readers turning YOUR pages long past bedtime!
Have you ever wanted to write a novel, but just couldn’t figure out where start? Do you have a bunch of stories floating around in your head but just can’t seem to make it all fit?
Organize your thoughts with expert step by step instructions with helping you obtain your goal.
You Can Create Wonderful Characters, Build Great Worlds, And Plot Like A Fiend, BUT… “If You Can’t Write Page-Turning Scenes, You Don’t Have A Book”
You want to keep your readers hanging on your every word, but every time you relax your vigilance, your characters start lounging around, talking about the weather, drinking coffee and leaning against walls.
Or perhaps you get fascinated by your own worldbuilding, and when you look up from writing, you discover what you’ve done is a twenty- page infodump.
Maybe your scenes race by so fast that when you read them back, you find the barest sketch of the picture you had in your head while you were writing.
Or just maybe you haven’t got the hang of doing scenes yet at all….It’s okay.
