(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
Note, I’m thinking of making these bi-weekly to coincide with the larger status in my newsletter. Really, not enough interesting happens between less than two weeks!
The Way With Worlds series: “Misinformation, Disinformation, Propaganda, and Worldbuilding” is going to be late due to my editor catching a cold (just a cold). So no big deal there, expect it around mid-April. It’s going to be pretty awesome, in my hum.ble opinion, so I don’t mind a delay – and I’ve caught up on more things (see below). Also banging out new covers when I can.
“The Agile Writer’s Mindset”: Because of the Way With Worlds delay, I’ve already brainstormed this out one into a partial outline and will start writing in about two weeks! The basic idea of the book is to look at major “parts” of writing, and how to develop a healthy Agile approach to each. For instance, learning how to write sustainably and not burn yourself out.
The Compendium of Writing Advice: Still in mind, but not edited. I’ll revisit after the next WWW book is out.
The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: OK now one generator left (the Anime Attack one) and I’ve got it. I’m also solidifying code here and there and have a completely functional test site! So Q2 is definitely in my sights, and I’ve figured out a way to build in some failover to go to the old site. After over a year – during crazy times – it’s happening.
