OK gang, yes, I know people have asked me to do more than just speak at cons.  Well Lauren Orsini asked me to be part of a webinar and I accepted!  It’s a chance for you to join us and talk . . . careers!  We’re doing a discussion about how people build geek careers realistically, covering seven major steps that you’ll want to follow.

You can read more at Lauren’s blog (which is well worth following), or just go and . . .


Sign up now!

 

It’s free, but seats are limited.  So go on, sign up, and we’ll get a chance to talk careers Sunday, November 8th at 9am Pacific, (12pm Eastern).

And, yes if this works, I may do more with her, on my own, and with other people.  Haven’t tried a webinar before . . .

Steve’s Update!

Hello everyone, how are you doing?  Well I hope!  So let’s get to some updates!

First, the Plot Twist Generator is done.  Well, done-esque.  Done enough.  Either way it came out OK, but I did learn a valuable lesson – these generators, surprisingly, work best when done with more of a scientific analysis.  It would have taken longer up front – but been faster and better long-term.  Lesson learned!

Next generator?  Oh, yeah, it’s there, just need a break.

The Sailor Moon book is on track, we’re doing more data analysis, and more interviews!  I expect us to finish interviews in November, when we shift into our research phase – and if all works, we’ll write the first chapter around Christmas!

Way With Worlds is at pre-readers – and I’ve already decided it’ll be two books released the summer of 2016.  Simply, it’d be a huge book otherwise – try about 500 pages.  it splits well among essentials and details, so that’s how the split will go.  Stay tuned and get ready . . .

My upcoming new resume book had a delay in editing, so won’t be out until early November.  Sorry gang!

Oh and on that, early November, look out for a webinar with me and a friend you’ll want to attend.

Hello everyone.  Crazy times, so here’s what’s up!

First, as noted in September I got a little busy with work and all.  Still don’t quite have a picture of my holiday season, but I plan for some time off.  Let’s hope I catch up and don’t spend too much time playing Team Fortress 2.  Which will really me a matter of degree.

Way With Worlds – If all goes well (meaning I’ll damn well make it happen), the editing run finishes and goes to my pre-readers by Sunday.  I’m about 70-80% proud of it now, and think it’s going to be a pretty good handbook for worldbuilders.  And, yes, there will almost inevitably be followup works . . . just not in the way you may think . . .

Resume Plus – My new jazz-up-your-resume-guide is being edited.  I am actually quite proud of this one, and proud to return to smaller ebooks.  This one was fun to write, has great advice, and will be a fantastic addition to your electronic bookshelf.  Think of it as a sister guide to “Epic Resume Go” and, yes, I may do a book bundle.

Sailor Moon Book – No, once again not releasing the title yet.  Sorry.  Anyway, we finished the analysis of our first run of interviews and we now have a serious idea of just why the show impacted people, how it impacted people, and how to portray it in the book.  We may also have gotten some insights into just how the legacy of the show impacted American media.  Next goal is to finish interviews somewhere in November, start our historical research and get writing.  Again we really don’t expect this to be out until late summer/early fall 2016.

Plot Twist Generator – OK, I’m just gonna try and get this sucker to gold and take a break.  One more push coming up!  Then I do a fun one (in fact one I may document).
