Hello everyone! Well the holiday may be over, but I’m plugging away as always!

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

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Is selling in ebook format and has been repeatedly updated as I edit the print copy. I was disappointed with the typos I saw (I at least figured why), but the print copy is looking great!
  • Way With Worlds: I’ve got a lot of notes on the next book. More on that in a bit!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Nothing new quite yet, taking a break after the updates, but I do have a few plans in mind. I’ve also begun my plans to update the code base over the next year.
  • Other: Mostly a lot of chores and side things.

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: A break for a few days as the print book’s next proof copy comes to me. If all goes well I’ll do a big haul and be done. I also hope to work on a special free book – a world guide!
  • Way With Worlds: I’ll take my notes and compile them into an outline, then probably start the book in February.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I’ve got two or three generator ideas, let’s see if anything comes of it!
  • Book Access: I’m trying a few things to improve book distribution, stay tuned!

Hope you all had a good Christmas! Let’s catch up on my projects!

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

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Is selling in ebook format and I have a print copy I’ve gone through to look for issues and formatting mistakes. Good news is that it looks good, but I did see a few more typos than I’d like to admit. Got a marked-up book and an improved cover file.
  • Way With Worlds: With the Organizations book out next is a short break, then plotting the next one.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I’ve updated the Nexus! A lot of it is self-publishing oriented, since that’s what I know.
  • Other: Christmas, of course!

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: This week I incorporate my edits from going over the print version and get another POD request. I’ll also update the Kindle copy.
  • Way With Worlds: I hope to get to outlining.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Right now I have a few simple generator ideas – what it’s like going back to work may affect delivery.
  • Other Stuff: There’s a few other things I’m up to, like doing some coding and improving book distribution that I may or may not start soon. I’m not quite sure of the direct plan yet, but I’ll keep you updated – and it’ll yield some useful insights!
  • General Stuff: Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

We’re all heading for the holidays, so let’s catch up! Also you may note this is appearing all over – I’m diversifying my posting base.

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

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Is selling in ebook format!  So print is next. I’ve got the document print-formatted now – which thanks to some Open Office tools and formatting choices was easier than I thought. There’s some lessons here.
  • Way With Worlds: I’ve got another book out! This one is on Organizations!
  • Seventh Sanctum: Steady as she goes here, but the next generator or three are being outlined.
  • Other: Lots of relaxing now that the holiday season is here.

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Getting print format out and getting a draft. The text is done, the real worry I have is the cover. Covers are the hardest part of POD.
  • Way With Worlds: I’m outlining the next book, but am also pacing myself.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Want to try to update the Nexus and maybe get a new generator out.
  • General Stuff: The holidays, of course! I am also working on some productivity techniques I may be sharing soon!
