Good day everyone, what’s been up this week?

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Well I did a lot, but did NOT do it in a week.  Still, goal is to finish this week which looks mostly promising.
  • Agile Creativity: Feedback integrated, and its off to the editor.
  • Blogging: I started the new Brainstorm Book series.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Didn’t post my new ideas, I’m still codifying them.
  • Instafreebie: I’m part of a great Instafreebie giveaway (check it out).

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Try to finish up the feedback this week.
  • Blogging: Continue the Brainstorm book stuff and add another Avenoth Post.
  • Seventh Sanctum: Unsure if I’ll add my rethought plans yet.
  • Agile Creativity: I MAY design the cover.
  • Newsletter: I’ll have a new newsletter out (You are signed up for my newsletter right?)

This week has a lot of social events, so as you can guess, it’s a bit tight.

Also I think the Agile Creativity book will be out more NEXT month at this rate.

Good day everyone, what’s been up this week?

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Did the final few tweaks before the last run(s).  Looking good – except for one or two “Exposition blocks” and some scenes I can condense.
  • Agile Creativity: I got my feedback!
  • Fanime: Fanime is done, I spoke, and I’m still tired.  Enough said!
  • Chores and Tasks: My plans to front-load my month getting stuff out of the way have worked well!  Really clears my head.
  • Newsletter: As you saw I have a new much friendlier format!

What am I going to do this week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I want to do a pass using my last reader’s feedback this week.  The goal is “can I do it in a week” which is pretty insane, but this is men.
  • Agile Creativity: I want to read my reader feedback, I may get to it.
  • Blogging: I have a new blog series on Brainstorm Books you’ll really want to read.  It expands my theories – and may become its own book!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I’m reconsidering some more things, like the goal of The Nexus.  Short form is I think I could do it differently, as I got some ideas at Fanime.  I may or may not get to my plans.

I’ve delayed my idea of bookblogging a bit until next week – just want to clear the project list this week.

Steve’s Update 5/28/2018

Looks like I forgot an update last week.  Things are still a bit busy.  So let’s get to it!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Broke up my final editing run – integrating a few notes to myself this week, then diving into a final review while I integrate my last pre-readers work.
  • Agile Creativity: Waiting on feedback.  Going to give it another week but you know how pre-reading goes.  I’m also debating moving the publication from End of June to start of July just to clear space.
  • Fanime: Posts are forthcoming on this.  It was great!  Learned a lot!  Very tired.

What am I going to do this week?

The name of the game here is “focus.”  I also have a baby shower to go to and an event to run, so it might be a bit occupied.

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Integrate my final changes and possibly start my final editing run depending how the weekend goes.
  • Chores and Tasks: The start of my months I’m starting to front-load assorted chores – and that’s what I’m doing this month.  So not much interesting.

I’ve delayed my idea of bookblogging a bit until next week – just want to clear the project list this week.
