Here’s what’s up with me!

A School of Many Futures is going great. I’ve managed to combine two chapters to really ramp up the sense of mystery and accelerate the story. Still good to pre-read start of May, so get ready!

Look for more from the Way With Worlds in May or June. The Natural Disasters book is outlined, so I can write it in May as a break. June is a good time for a release – and you may see some new cover designs!

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite continues. I’ve managed to find a way to streamline some code for generators with certain options that will, hopefully, save time.

To help you see what my overall plans are, check out the new Roadmap – https://www.stevensavage.com/roadmap

Here’s what’s up with me!

A School of Many Futures edit continues – and thanks to those singing on to preread! Right now I’m finishing a deep edit of Chapter 3 (of 13-14), about to rewrite Chapter 4, and hope to get done at the start of May. One thing I’m expanding on is the role of education in a techno-fantasy setting. The characters may be teachers, but when their specialty is safety and supernatural dangers, they may be missing a few things . . .

For the Way With Worlds series, I’ve outlined the core of the first book in the Disaster series – Natural Disasters! I’ll cover 40 or so natural disasters, as well as “high-level” questions for worldbuilders. Expect to get some thought provoking questions on everything from settling land to how disasters shape landscape.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite has gone into the more specialized generators with unusual control structures. I’ve inventoried them and now have to fit the architecture to work with them. Python and Flask make it pretty easy – the stress of the Pandemic does not. Still, not giving up – and inventorying the system will help me write a sequel to Chance’s Muse.

Still in on some giveaways

First, the giveaways I’m in!

Now the update!

A School Of Many Futures: Finished editing to the halfway point, and with a good sense of it, I’m doing a final outline to guide my writing. Still on track to have it ready for pre-reading in May, and publish late August.

Way With Worlds: I’ve got the book on natural disasters partially outlined, and need to finish that up. The other books in the series (man-made disasters and general disasters) will come next. This should be a great themed “run” for my books and I want to get one out in May when the prereaders are doing their things.

Seventh Sanctum: I took a break and am back at it, reviewing code and starting to add the more “weird” generator configurations. Hang in there, because here we go . . .

General: Still considering the “pile of blog posts” books I have. I will get them out, but am debating how much to edit and cut. Maybe I need more prereaders . . .
