Steve’s Update 1/19/2019

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 I have what I HOPE is the final print copy. We’ll know more after looking it over this weekend. At this rate I’m thinking any remaining typos be damned.
  • A Reader’s Guide To Avenoth: I haven’t started promoting it yet, but if you like A Bridge To The Quiet Planet, check out this free world guide! I’ll promote it more when the print copy drops.
  • Way With Worlds: The book on Cities is marching along. Not much to post on that except, well, it’s happening.
  • Expanding My Publishing: I’ve got my books going out to more distributors, starting with the worldbuilding books. They’re at Kobo, Nook, and I’m also over at Itch.io.
  • Other: I think I covered everything above!

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Hopefully signing off on the print copy.
  • Way With Worlds: Writing away. Maybe I need to reduce these updates, as I’m gonna say that a lot.
  • Expanding My Publishing: I’ll have a few more books out, so keep looking at Kobo, Nook, and more!
  • Other: I didn’t get to my new coding experiments, so I hope to this week.

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 while I go through the physical copy.
  • Way With Worlds: I’ve started writing the next book – on Cities! That’ll probably be out in March! Also I’ve started expanding the book distributions, so expect more updates later.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Not much here, the week got busy.
  • Other: I started formatting the worldbook for “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet” to get ready for free distribution in a few weeks! I think you’ll love it!

What’s next?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I plan to finish the final print review this week, and a likely update to the ebook files. Then it’s one more print copy and hopefully we’re good!
  • Way With Worlds: Still writing and expanding the book distribution. Once that’s done I’ll post an update (though it’s probably two or thee weeks away as some distribution methods take time)
  • Seventh Sanctum: Mostly trying to start my new code plans. I may not have many updates on that part for awhile, but then again its part of a larger effort to try some new stuff. I don’t expect the new codebase to be out for a year.

Steve’s Update 9/30/2018

Wow, September is over, and it was sort of August: The Sequel.  Another crazy month – and now I refuse to accept any more crazy into my life.  Done, topped off, did that.  Let’s see if we can add some sanity.

On the subject, I’m debating cancelling these updates.  One, sometimes they don’t change – but on the other hand, they also help me stay focused.  So I’m wondering if they have value.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:  Editing, editing, editing!  I’m gearing up for a bing binge the next two weeks as noted so I can get it done.
  • Way With Worlds: Back on top of it this week, with plans to release the next book late November.
  • Other: Speaking at Kraken-con.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: My goal is to get through at least two chapters, maybe more.
  • Way With Worlds: Pretty much writing.

Yeah, not much to update.  So maybe I’ll cancel these updates and only post when needed.
