Hello all, let’s see where I am!

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: The Gods and Deities Book is past the halfway point writing-wise! So it’s just keep going – heck this might be out before the new year!
  • Chance’s Muse: I am checking the (hopeful) last draft of the print book and the ebook is formatted.
  • A School Of Many Futures: I’ve written out past Chapter 5!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Sadly, not much – Chance’s Muse is sucking up “Sanctum Time” and I should have planned for that.
  • General: Thanksgiving plus a few things around the house – and sadly some friends and families having challenges.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Again, keep writing.
  • Chance’s Muse: Go over the latest print draft, and if that’s OK . . . launch it!
  • A School Of Many Futures: Finish editing up through chapter 4 then keep at it. I may try a huge blitz of doing whatever I can.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I think I have to accept that until CM is done I won’t do anything on this. Lesson for next time – CM would have been easier if I’d focused on it exclusively as opposed to my multiple Sanctum projects.

Hello all. Last time I was trying to catch up – so how are we doing?

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: The Gods and Deities Book is going OK, though I’m trying to pace writing it differently. As opposed to doing a bit each day the idea is to bingewrite once a week – and it’s been a busy week. I’ll know more in a few weeks.
  • Chance’s Muse: Editing done and the print book is formatted!
  • A School Of Many Futures: I’ve written out to Chapter 4 (as well as other stuff like some scenes and all of the last chapter) and done some “Deplotting” to loosen the plot up so it can evolve.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Not much, just ideas. Man I miss this . .
  • General: The new time management is actually helping. This was a brutal week and I’m still going to get most everything done if not more.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Keep writing – and see how things go.
  • Chance’s Muse: Do the cover and get a beta print copy out.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Review the plot outline, polish chapters 1-4, and then tear into writing more!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Do something so I can stop complaining 😛

Hey all, busy getting back on top of my projects – and almost there. Let’s catch up!

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: Writing away on the Gods and Deities Worldbook! It’s going great and is a lot of fun – got a lot to make you think!
  • Chance’s Muse: Still on the first edit after a few delays. There’s some loose language I need to tighten up.
  • A School Of Many Futures: The book is now blazing away. Chapters 1 and 2 are in good shape, but 3 has some weakness. Still, looking good, much richer, more diverse, and a real interesting plot that merges the human with the setting.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I’ve got my future plans in place now that life is back to normal.
  • General: Still working on my improved time management, so I hope I can post more on it!

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Keep writing of course! I expect it to be out in later December.
  • Chance’s Muse: Finish up the first edit run and start the final run.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Get through Chapter 3 and then re-edit it of course! I will also probably look for pre-readers.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Working on getting back to coding.
