Agile Creativity: Out Now

by

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr.  Find out more at my newsletter.)

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!

Update: The Power Of Creative Paths

by

What’s next up for me? Well working on all my OTHER books I am doing a book called “The Power Of Creative Paths” which I used to call “The Creativity Book.”  It’s now at the editor AND we have a beta cover:

Creative Paths

So this should be out at the end of January – it’s a $2.99 ebook, a bit under 100 pages, and hardcore focused on identifying your creative path, helping you expand your options as a creator, and understand how people on different “paths” can get along – or fail to get along.  It’s the first book to really boil down my creative theories learned from Seventh Sanctum.

I’m actually sort of glad to get it out of my head – I’ve kicked these ideas around awhile, but I really wanted to write something on general creativity to help people out and leverage what I’ve seen.  It’s a pretty good creative model, and I think you’ll like it.

Also if you want to be a reviewer . . .

Whew, Back At Speaking

by

Well if you’re looking for a speaker on careers, creativity, or geekery (or preferably all three) I’m back at it, folks!

With my presentation on Quest For Employment at PMI Silicon Valley, I’m officially returning to doing speaking beyond conventions.  I had to take a break with all the crazy, and to get some new material together.  So remember if you need a speaker – in person or online via Skype, etc., let me know!

You can find my presentations listed here.
