Steve’s Update 3/1/2020

And here’s my somewhat regular update! First thing, giveaways!

I am in a LOT of giveaways

I’m really enjoying these giveaways and plan to do more – with more books!

Now the rest of the update!

  • Way With Worlds: Taking a break for now. I’ll start the next book in a few months, unless I shift things around.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Just waiting on my editor – I hope to have feedback soon. I am still tweaking the “rewrite outline”
  • Seventh Sanctum: Rewriting away. I found problems with my new code, and mostly solved it (objects/classes are a treat for isolating code), but still have a few bugs to iron out. I wish this was going faster as I’m so close to having an essential site.
  • Blog: No big plans for now, let’s see if a series strikes me . . .
  • General:  Working to improve my marketing and expand my newsletter. Hey, gives us more friends to talk to . . .

Steve’s Update 2/21/2021

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr.  Find out more at my newsletter.)

Gonna try to bring these updates back here for my readers. I’ve changed the newsletter up to be a little more personal, so I’m going to do my more “businesslike” status here!

  • COVID-19: My second shot of vaccine should be fully effective now – but I’m keeping up all safety protocols to protect people (there’s some evidence you might be able to carry). But the numbers look good, so I’m hopefuly.
  • Way With Worlds: The History worldbook is out! So go on and enjoy!
  • A School Of Many Futures: Just waiting on my editor!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I finally solved the problems with the advanced generators. This will run maybe 60% of the site – but now I have to tackle the generators with unusual configurations and the like. So it’s moving forward, but now I’m on to the weird stuff.
  • Blog: With my conspiracy theory analysis done, I don’t have any new series on the horizon. Let’s see what happens.
  • General:  Still trying to relax and take time off – and yes, I failed at taking time off. I’m also kicking around a few side book projects to cleanse my mind – more as I mess around

Steve’s Update 5/10/2020

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com.  Find out more at my newsletter.)

Let’s catch up on all my latest efforts!

  • Way With Worlds: The Conspiracy is off to the editor!  I hope to get it back in a week or two, so still hopeful for end of May!  Look out for it, we got another hot one for you worldbuilders to read!
  • A School Of Many Futures: The new Chapter 4 is written, and I gave chapters 1-3 another edit.  The book is much more solid, and I think you’ll be really pleased.
  • Seventh Sanctum:  Still working on training myself in Python.  My initial attempt to learn Python as I rewrote the site was too hard, so I’m training “upward” and am doing much better.  Now I’m back to figuring data structures, and after that . . .
  • General: I’ve resumed gathering my old writing columns together.  I might get a few books out of them, because I’ve written a lot.  A few re-edits and some new content and you might get some new books!

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: A break while my editor works on the book, and hopefully I can get it early so I can work on getting it out!
  • A School Of Many Futures: Heavy edit of the new Chapter 4, then blaze through the rest of the book.  I may need some pre-readers in June . . .
  • Seventh Sanctum:  Practicing away. but also I might just do a new generator after thinking of certain fictional terms for characters . . .
