Steve’s Update 2/20/2018

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve’s Tumblr)

Here’s my latest update – and a lot to discuss!

So what have I done the last week?

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I got done with the arc I wanted to edit and am actually ahead of the game!  So we’re in great shape.
  • Writing: The blogging is going well, and the Agile Creativity series will see a focus on Principle 3 . . . probably awhile after this post!
  • Personal Agile Guide: I did some additional editing, so more to come . . .
  • Seventh Sanctum: I got some behind-the-scenes work done to optimize the site for browsers.
  • Unpacking: Ok this wasn’t what I promised YOU, but I did get a lot done.

What am I going to do this week:

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I may start on the final-edit-before-prereaders.  That’s debatable.
  • Writing: Continue my columns, and cover Agile Principle #4.
  • Personal Agile Guide: I plan to format it this week, with a (hopeful) drop this weekend.
  • Miscellaneous: I hope to do some Sanctum work (FINALLY) if I can keep not being interrupted my stuff.

General

  • Still sorting out the commute.  It’s a real poster.  I could ride the train which takes longer but has wifi.  I can drive which doesn’t take too much longer than my old commute, but puts me at the mercy of traffic.

Here’s my latest update!  With my move done and that insane January out of the way, I will get back to regular deliverables.

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

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Editing is going faster than I thought, I’m almost to the big arc I have to tweak.  I think it may be done next week, which means I can get this thing pre-readable in March easy!  Maybe mid-March!
  • Writing: The new series on Agile and creativity is ramping up as you’ve seen – prepare for a lot more to come!
  • Personal Agile Guide: I’ve got the cover done!  So I’ll be dropping this one the end of the Month!

What am I going to do this week:

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: More editing of course.  I will hopefully finish most of that arc this week.
  • Writing: More column work of course!  I plan to do one a week – the next one is almost ready.
  • Personal Agile Guide: I want to start formatting it and get it out end of month.

General

  • The commute is giving me time to write, though as it’s either way early or after work occasionally what I’m in the “mood” to do varies.
  • Now that I’m back on track with all my writing, I want to try to catch up with my Sanctum plans.  After last month’s chaos, it’s a bit hard to get back on top of everything.  Still, I will get to it!
  • Wondering if I need to do these weekly updates.  I kind of like them as they make me focus, but with a month-long sprint? I wonder.

Steve’s Update 2/4/2018

Here’s my latest update!  With my move done and that insane January out of the way, I will get back to regular deliverables.

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

  • Moving: Is done!  Now there’s just settling in.  And unpacking.  We’re taking a few weeks to do this.
  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: I sadly did not do more editing, but did work on the outline for the final plot changes – and I think I can do them in one go.  I actually want to get this to pre-readers as I’m a bit tired of editing it!
  • Writing: I did start a new blog series on Agile and creativity you’ll see this week!  This will mark my return to doing more creative advice stuff outside of writing.
  • Cover Work: I’ll be doing a cover for an interesting cookbook – not sure if I’ll start this week, but hope to give you an idea of what’s up once I get the tap!

What am I going to do this week:

  • A Bridge To The Quiet Planet: Returning to editing.
  • Writing: I’m going to work on my Agile and creativity blog entries.

General

  • Still recovering from the move, so I may front-load this month with more mundane tasks and then go do a lot of my creative stuff in a wave.
  • My commute should give me time to write (it’s easier to take a train over driving) so let’s see what that does for these projects . . .
