Steve’s Update 10/3/2021

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

A School of Many Futures: The print copy is coming soon – it took a few days more than I expected but I got some good insights out of formatting.  I give it a few more weeks before it’s ready.  

“The Agile Writer’s Mindset”: This is still in the brainstorming phase – and may have spawned a third book to work on in 2022.  It’s going to have a different voice, helping people see differently, while still having to use techniques.  I’ll be a better writer after this.

The Way With Worlds series: I’ll start writing the next book this month!  Really looking forward to getting back into it.  For 2022 I plan to do 3 books at least.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: After solving one more coding problem, I’ve got two generators left.  So I’m tired of tweaking generator code and I’m going to work on a test deployment to refresh myself.  I really should have done this years ago, but at least now I know Python and Flask!

Giveaways!

So I hope you’re doing well – allergies hit me hard so a little behind. But a lot is going on.

A School of Many Futures is out – and expect an update to the eBook shortly that fixes a few errors. The print book is formatted (which took a bit longer due to some unexpected challenges), so I’m going to try to queue up a draft copy tomorrow! The hard part is done so if all goes well with the cover, I can try and relax. https://books2read.com/u/bMwlPX

“The Agile Writer’s Mindset” is now on my mind, and will probably be a bingewrite, but as noted I’m thinking of doing a Zoom with some of you to discuss it. Plus it’s a chance to socialize!

The Way With Worlds series is going to be returned to in October, as noted. As soon as I get a breather (soon?) I’ll outline the Man-Made Disasters book. I wondered if I should call it that (Created Disasters, maybe?) but it seems good enough.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite is back at it and I sorted out an IRRITATING problem that was all due to casting cases of data. That was it. So now I have to sort out one more option and I’ll have done all but two of the generators – and honestly, I may just leave those two oddballs out for now and get to solidifying the site.

And now, giveaways!

A School of Many Futures: The book is out. I’m treating this as soft launch (no big announcement) until I see a print copy to see if I missed anything. https://books2read.com/u/bMwlPX

“The Agile Writer’s Mindset”: I’m probably going to take a stab at outlining this in the next month or two.

The Way With Worlds series: I plan to return to writing in October. I might get to it early, but I have other things.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: I had to put this on hold to finish the novel and because of a bunch of other irritating interruptions. Now it’s time to get serious on the remaining generators to finish this up – and apply all the lessons I’ve learned.

Finally, two awesome giveaways you can grab stuff from:
