As noted, I’m now putting these out every two weeks – in time with my new Sprint structure of bi-weekly sprints.

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: The City Worldbuilding book is out! Go and check it out.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I’ve expanded the book while writing it, finding out other things I should tell people about. It’s really becoming a kind of multi-section textbook, which is good as my initial concept was honestly too light. The new version should give much deeper advice.
  • Seventh Sanctum: My plan to redesign the site is being delayed – I realized I wanted to more explore improvements, so I’m going to use them as a bit of a lab to really upgrade the site and am for more next year. I also didn’t get work done on the latest generator.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Keep writing the Fashion book! Pretty much the same old same old.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I should finish the core philosophy section this week easily, and get on to some more instructional sections.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Work on that new generator. I’ll probably delay my studies for a bit to get that done.

Hey gang, so a quick update here on my, well, updates.

The weekly thing really isn’t cutting it for a number of reasons. First, not enough changes in one week. Two, weeks are variable enough that half the time I’m discussing interruptions that wouldn’t matter in the big picture. Third, I’m shaking up some of my personal productivity choices, so two weeks work.

So last weekly update!

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: I’ve started writing the Fashion book – and got the City book back!
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I’ve been writing it and am happy with the way it looks. Interesting note – it’s shorter than I expected. Don’t know if this means I’ve got more to add or if it’ll get done faster.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Started working on a new generator! It’s a comedic one, but an interesting one, so stay tuned . . .

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: I’ll keep working on the Fashion book (remember I do those over time) and will get as much edited of the Cities book!
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: Keep writing.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Work on that new generator and of course, keep practicing Python.

It’s been a calmer week, so let’s see what’s up!

So what have I done the last week?

  • Way With Worlds: I’ve outlined the next book while the City book gets edited – it’s on fashion!
  • Expanded Distribution: All my books except A Bridge To The Quiet Planet and my fandom-specific books are out I may not do the Focused Fandom series – I’m worried it’s aged a bit.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I don’t have a title yet, but I’ve started in on my book on randomness, Generators, and creativity! My plan is to get it done this year, but right now as a lot’s going on, I’m not sure of my pace.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: I hope to get the book back from my editor, but it may not be until late. I’ll also start on the Fashion book.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: I’ll be writing that! So yeah, pretty much that.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Still practicing some code improvement!
