Here’s my latest update!

“Think Agile, Write Better”: Haven’t heard back from my pre-readers yet, but I know at least one has gotten busy, so there’s a chance this is going to slip.  I do NOT want this put out without pre-reader input, so I might do another editorial run and then begin then in December.  If you want to pre-read, let me know!

The Way With Worlds series: Continuing to write Disaster Response and Worldbuilding which is, again, really making me think.  The big realization is a lot of our pop culture doesn’t focus on response if it’s not “interesting” – which means we forget worldbuilding.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: My November trip is cancelled (probably) so now its just finding a weekend.  Plus turns out I’ve banked too many vacation days at work . . .

Finally, giveaways!

“Think Agile, Write Better”: Waiting on prereaders right now.  At this rate, I hope to edit it over November and maybe take advantage of a few extra days off around Thanksgiving.  There’s still time to pre-read (moreso if my other pre-readers are taking their time).  It might go a little longer, unfortunately.

The Way With Worlds series: Disaster response is in progress!  This one surprises me, and is going to be a nice, broad book on things to think of – including reader sensitivity. I’ve also started updating the book covers, so look for the new visuals on my History and Calendar books!

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: Looking like this might be November – I might have a trip.  Fortunately, I launched another site and used it to practice.

Future Work:

  • Fiction/RPG – Still considering an Avenoth RPG, but if I do it’d start sometime later next year.
  • Blog Compendium – I’ll probably start this once I get through some of the other work (so December, January).  It’s really something to do in big chunks of time, so I might actually do it over a break – let’s face it, I mean “Christmas.”
  • Creativity and Advice – No major projects right now.
  • “Other Stuff” – I am looking at some art/writing projects under my other pen names (this isn’t the only one).

Finally, giveaways!

OK I think I have a grasp on my schedule. It’s been a wild time – first I get COVID, then go back to work as the financial year ends, then deal with allergies, heat waves, and more. So I’ve had to stretch out my schedule.

I also would note for 2023 my plan is to leave me more space to experiment with a big focus on the worldbuilding books and creative empowerment.

“Think Agile, Write Better”: Back to editing this, with a plan to (hopefully) send it to beta readers in early October.  I also have one more Agile book I want to write, and am not sure when I want to do that in 2023.

The Way With Worlds series: I’m aiming to do just one more book this year instead of two – losing one month threw off a lot.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: Really just need to find a day, so as I am hitting max vacation balance, let’s see if that helps.  Right now I’m doing a code/launch review to refresh my memory.
