How goes everyone!  Here’s my latest update!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Back from the editor and I’m editing,  and I’m done with chapter 1 already! However, there’s going to be a one month delay in publishing.  The editor had a lot of good feedback, some of which is leading to style changes and altering some POV elements.  This makes the story much better and presents a more intimate view of the wild setting.  But it’s going to take an extra month.
  • Way With Worlds: I’ve started on the next book on Organizations, which might just be a two part series (though I may spread it out).  This one is near and dear to might heart as Organizations are often forgotten in worldbuilding beyond tropes.
  • Other: An unexpectedly busy week as I had a doctor’s appointment, some home stuff to deal with, and a lot of work stuff.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Editing.  I may delay the cover art a bit since I’ve got an extra month.
  • Way With Worlds: Writing away of course – I’m basically doing a bit each day or so, so this one won’t be done for another two months or so.
  • Other: I’ve got a lot of cons stuff coming up so I’ll be preparing for that.  Where does the time go . . .

Here’s a roundup of what’s going on!  Lots to talk about, lot’s going on – and a few interruptions.

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: My cover artist is done, now it’s time to get the text layout in place.  I have a rough but am working on a more specific one.  Editor should be done soon.  Still targeting end of September for Ebook.
  • Way With Worlds: The Superhero and Worldbuilding book is out!  It’s also selling too, glad you folks liked it.
  • Agile Creativity: I set up some AMS marketing, but the book has been selling well on its own.
  • Other: The new job of course has me occupied.

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Cover layouts and waiting on my editor.
  • Way With Worlds: I am outlining the next one of course!  My current plan is to constantly write these over time, a few questions here and there.
  • Other: Lots of little things, hopefully clearing them up this week so I can FOCUS the rest of the month.  I need to edit, finish the Nexus changes at the Sanctum, and more.  Plus two cons!  So yeah, I want to use this week to get chores out of the way.

  • Way With Worlds: The NEW Minibook is half done and I’ve got a lot more planned.  Since I’ve heard how you folks like the books, it’s time I up my game . . . and I have a lot to do.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I actually set aside some time to finally work on this because a side project changed. Speaking of . . .
  • Other:  I had a few distracting side projects that I might blog about.  What?  You think you see all the crazy experiments I do here?
