Here’s what’s going on with my projects! A lot of my time was taken up by some illness-related issues and general chaos.

So what have I done the last week?

  • Agile Creativity: The print copy of of the book is out!
  • Way With Worlds: The city book is now off to the editor.
  • Expanded Distribution: All my career books are out in expanded distribution! The only thing is I’m not putting them on itch.io yet – didn’t seem appropriate.
  • Other: I put my creativity books into their own series, Steve’s Creative Advice. And yes, I’m keeping these grouped books low-key title wise as they cover diverse subjects.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: It’s probably 1-2 weeks to get the edited copy back. I’ll likely plot the next book soon. As noted, my goal is to keep these coming out constantly, low-level.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I may tackle a new generator. I also plan to start on my book on procedural generation!
  • Expanded Distribution: I’ll start putting out my creativity books next!

Let’s catch up on my projects! It’s been a lot of “more of the same.”

So what have I done the last week(s)?

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Contacting plenty of reviewers. Then a break probably.
  • Agile Creativity: I hope to sign off on the book this week!
  • Way With Worlds: Still writing of course!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Deploy a new generator and a few more updates.

Agile Creativity: Out Now

OK I’ve hinted at it or talked about it but it’s here – my book on Agile Creativity!

This is the result of experimentation, research, discussions, and blogging – a guide to how to use Agile in creative efforts. However this isn’t about specific methods – this is about mindset.

Do you really understand value?  How can you get more done by doing less?  Are you supporting yourself so things happen – not trying to force them to happen?

I dive into the Agile Software Manifesto and the Principles behind it – and then focus on how to take these ideas and use them for art, writing, and more!  Let’s get Agile, get Creative – and get more done with less stress!
