As you may guess, I’m keeping these updates! I just may not post them as widely to my four (really) different platforms.

Warning, it has been busy lately, and there’s a lot going on. August is gonna be complicated.

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: I’m back to doing the News book – which is shaping up really well. Still looking at a September publishing date.
  • Chance’s Muse: That’s the name of the Seventh Sanctum book – I’m integrating reader feedback. It’s looking mostly good, and I plan to get it to my editor for September.
  • A School Of Many Futures: The sequel to “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet” is now being plotted – in fact I have most of the basic outline down and am plotting the character arcs!

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Pretty much write it, but next time you see this post, I should be done or just about done.
  • Chance’s Muse: Finish my edits, then start a full grammar edit. That probably won’t be done by the next update.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Finish up the character arcs plotting – and start plotting the book in detail!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I plan to get back to the Python coding, and possibly – possibly – start another generator!

Here’s our latest sprint roundup! But first . . .

Seventh Sanctum got mentioned and used at Drawfee!

So what have I done since last time?

  • In General: I had a tough week – hurt my back. I’ve recovered, but ouch.
  • Way With Worlds: Chugging along on the Fashion book. Figuring it’ll be out very late May or early June. It’s gone deeper than I expected, which is good – amazing how much clothes are part of a society.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: The core philosophy section is done (well in draft), and I’m on to an examples section. That one is proving fun to write as it explores the concepts.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Didn’t get to the new generator yet, and I had delays in my tech review.
  • Next Novel: The next novel is tentatively called “A School Of Many Futures” and I had a real breakthrough on plotting. I won’t really start it until the fall, but it’s looking promising.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Keep writing the Fashion book. Really, I can keep repeating this as I write these constantly.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I should finish the example section, and hopefully move on to the practical advice section.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Try to get back to the new generator and my study of Python.
