Hey everyone let’s catch up on my projects!
So what have I done since last time?
- A Giveaway: I’m part of a giveaway of previews and entire books, and it focuses on interesting settings. Check it out: https://claims.prolificworks.com/gg/o6UoQcWfmCQ8B0MR1eBM
- Way With Worlds: I’ve started work on the Conspiracies and Secrets book, but got some delays due to a scrambled schedule. It’s still in progress however.
- A School Of Many Futures: I rewrote the first three chapters and outlined the book with the intent of re-organizing it. It isn’t what I wanted, but it is a complete book, and has some great evolution – I’m really pleased with the deeper views of Reverend Beacon and Scintilla.
- Seventh Sanctum: A friend helped me with the python coding, and I’m now designing the data structures for advanced generators. Python is powerful, but having to learn new ways of organizing data is a challenge.
- Bathroom Floor: The bathroom floor I groused about is fixed. Thank goodness. If you’re in the Bay Area I got a good flooring person for you.
What’s next?
- Way With Worlds: Back to the Conspiracies and Secrets book with gusto! It’s time to get back to my “regularly writing questions” approach.
- A School Of Many Futures: I’m going to re-outline the book. I’ll say even now I’ve got a better idea of how I want it to go and it’s going to lead to some intense stuff. This is a techno-magical world, and The War left so much hidden and forgotten, including people . . .
- Seventh Sanctum: Working to map out the advanced generator using the code a Python expert helped me with. If I can get the data structure read, then I can work out the generator – and this means I’ll have figured out how to move my generators to Python.
- More: I definitely put “Agile Darkside” on hold until a few months from now so I can focus. I may also have a few potential half-written books I may finish for a lark that would be mentally easier in these busy times.
