Steve’s Update 4/25/2018

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

OK this was not a good week as I got allergies.  Then I got sick.  So let me try to catch up here.

So what have I done the last week(s)?

  • Seventh Sanctum: I did get out the beta of the Strange God generator!  Come witness abstract powers and passions beyond human understanding – close yet distant.  It’s inspired by Cultist Simulator.  Also I’ve decided to regularly set aside time to work on The Nexus the next year to really stock it up – and I have a form to add your own ideas!
  • Epic Resume Go: Got published!
  • Agile Creativity: I got out the Agile Creativity posts for Principle #10 and Principle#11.

What am I going to do this week (er, next few days)?

This depends on how awful I feel, but . . .

  • Agile Creativity: The last post on Agile Principle #12.  Then maybe one more post on creativity, and I then start rewriting it into a book!
  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I plan to start posting bits of continuity information on my setting to give you hints of what’s coming!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Add a bit more to the Nexus and polish the Strange God generator

Steve’s Update 4/1/2018

Hey everyone, it’s Steve’s update.  So let’s find out what’s up!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Is out to my pre-readers!  Yay!
  • Agile Creativity: Agile Principle 8 went out – and boy I had a lot to say.
  • Epic Resume Go Rewrite: I got the editor’s comments back!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I just posted the latest update – the Nexus!
  • Other: Mostly cleanup and a few other tasks.  I actually noted I let some stuff go until the end of the month, so instead I’m going to try and get Personal Administrative Stuff out of the way at the start of the month.

What am I going to do this week:

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Not much . . . except correcting a naming error in the book I sent to my pre-readers.
  • Epic Resume Go Rewrite: I’m taking a break this week to get a lot of general chores done.  I’ll probably try to get it edited out in one go middle of the month.
  • Agile Creativity: Agile Principle #9 is next, and it’s a good one on technical excellence!  This is a subtle one . . .
  • Seventh Sanctum: Tally up feedback on the Nexus and see what people think – so far it’s positive.  Thinking maybe the fastest way to fill it in is a Google form for people along with my own work.
  • Other: Prepare to speak at the Silicon Valley Comic Con!

Steve’s Update 3/24/2018

A bit of an earlier update, so let’s get to it!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Edited!  Ready!  it goes out this week to pre-readers (that can be you by the way).
  • Agile Creativity: Just the usual stuff here – you read the latest post.
  • Epic Resume Go Rewrite: Is off to my editor, and is looking good for coming out end of April!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Got interrupted due to assorted life issues, so sorry on that.  More below.
  • Other: I’m trying to line up new speaking for the year!

What am I going to do this week:

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Send to pre-readers then take a break.
  • Epic Resume Go Rewrite: Probably not too much right now, wait on the editor.
  • Agile Creativity: Write on the Eighth Agile Principle, which is on sustainability, and is one of my favorites.  Actually it and the Tenth (on minimalism) are my faves because they’re often so contrary . .
  • Seventh Sanctum: Get out the Alpha of the Registry finally.  I’d like to not be distracted, but I got on a real run tweaking things once I started working on improvements.
