It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so what’s up?

So what have I done the last weeks?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: I am now into Chapter 12 and am planning to blitz on this to try and get the draft done by EOY.  Frankly I think I have to ram through it.  Chapter 11 did not get deployed yet, just got busy.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #6: Is done and off to editor this week!
  • Giveaway: Food, Culture, and Worldbuilding is free this week to celebrate NaNoWriMo
  • Other Stuff: Mostly just chores and some career planning.

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #6: Get it to the editor!
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Deploy Chapter 11 – which will be the last one to go out before I buckle down.  Then i buckle down.
  • Other Stuff: Lots of book, professional and speaking events.  Also planning Thanksgiving!

General

  • The attempt to write more is working really well – if I keep this pace up I’ll have written nearly 50K words.  Which is good for uh . . . not doing NaNoWriMo.

It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so what’s up?

So what have I done the last weeks?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: Chapter 11 is done.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #6: is just under 80% done, though it also will need a good edit.
  • Sales: To celebrate NaNoWriMo coming up Way With Worlds Book 2 is on sale this week!
  • Other Stuff: Mostly chores and other things.  Months end and month’s start and all.

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #6: Get it done and hopefully give it a good edit.
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Edit chapter 11 and keep writing.  I want to try to up my writing speed on this.
  • Blog Posts: I’ve got some blogging I want to get done, new insights to share!
  • Other: I’m planning my holidays and may do a Rifftrax event.  Also need to work on some blog posts.

General

  • One thing I am working on is to up my writing (note, not for NaNo, I have so much going on I don’t participate). The goal was at least 24K a month on “works”, but 30K if I can make it.  That doesn’t count blog posts (unless they’re going in a larger work).  So far I’m managing about 1.7K a day!

It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so where am I?

First, late.  Sorry team.

So what have I done the last week?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: Chapter 7 is about done, it just needs editing..  It’s a pretty critical one as it moves things on from the 40% mark forward – and sets things up for a massive amount of actions and reveals as the crew heads to the world of Lindhaem.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #4: All formatted and ready.  Just have to do publicity and such.
  • Art: Continuing my cover art work. now on my tumblr.  My latest have been Overwatched themed.
  • Blog: Got more queued up.  I may start mixing it up more – I realized I haven’t career blogged in awhile as I got focused on my fiction projects!
  • General: Lots of chores, marketing stuff, and more.

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #4: I might do publicity setup for it, but I can wait.
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Editing Chapter 7 and getting it ready, moving to chapter 8.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I have an idea for a new generator – well a new idea, I had another in the works.  Let’s see which one I get to first . . . I do at least want to map some data.
  • Other: Got a lot of events and a friend moving, so that may occupy a lot of time.
