Here’s what’s up with me!

The last week of this great giveaway for Writer’s books is here (and snag a rare FREE copy of Way With Worlds #1) – https://books.bookfunnel.com/saygoodbyetowritersblock/suwa6uuxdg

A School of Many Futures is now to chapter 8 of 13. Hold on to your backsides, the story is much more of an emotional rollercoaster, the themes are stronger, AND an invisible guy gets hit in the groin with a quarterstaff. Because I deliver quality.

On the Way With Worlds series no real updates. I start the first book in May and should have it out EOM more or less. The new covers are coming, but I need to plot that easy.

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite hit a milestone – I sorted out the “multiple option” generators for things like the Pizza generators. Now it’s on to the incredibly complicated ones like the superhero and anime generators. That’s gonna be painful.

Here’s what’s up with me!

I’m in a big giveaway with my fellow creatives! Pick up some creativity and writing advice, and a FREE copy of my first Way With Worlds Book! https://books.bookfunnel.com/saygoodbyetowritersblock/suwa6uuxdg

The Roadmap is here to help you see what my overall plans are, check out the new Roadmap – https://www.stevensavage.com/roadmap

A School of Many Futures edit is to chapter 6 out of 13, and that includes grammar checking!  I’m at the halfway point, so you can definitely expect your pre-reader copy in May. 

On the Way With Worlds series, the “Disaster Trilogy” is locked into my schedule, with the Natural Disasters book in May or June. The new covers will start coming soon, but I’m not sure when (likely with that book).

The Seventh Sanctum rewrite continues but hit an annoying roadblock on those complex generators where you pick different categories of options (like the Pizza generator). There’s an issue with filtering to avoid repetitive results that is probably due to a stupid mistake, and I need to find that.

A few big announcements!

First, Chance’s Muse, my book on random generators – is out! You can get it from a variety of sources at this link!

Secondly, I’m back at generators with the Promare-Inspired Super Professions Generator!

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: The Gods and Deities Book’s first draft is almost done – I expect to have it this week!
  • Chance’s Muse: As noted is done. Out, published. Launched! Whew!
  • A School Of Many Futures: I took a break on this to replot some things, so though a lot is written, I’m only “confident” out to Chapter 3 – but oh, what a Chapter 3!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I got out a new generator, the Super Professions Generator! Back in the swing of things!
  • General: Prepping for the holidays of course.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Finish the draft this week, then off to my editor, who hopefully has time . . .
  • Chance’s Muse: Well, it’s done. But I have ideas for the future.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Editing Chapter 3 while doing some more replotting. A few twists surprised me, and I want to get them in there – I mean when you suddenly discover a three-century old conspiracy in your story . . .
  • Seventh Sanctum: Nothing right now, mostly some tweaks. But I’m feeling that mojo again!
