Steve’s Update 10/22/2017

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

It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so where am I?  Besides having missed last week? Yeah it was nuts.

So what have I done the last weeks?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: Chapter 8 is published.  Chapter 9 is written.  Chapter 10 is almost done.  I finished my plot editing and revisioned.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #5: Queuing up this week.  It’s all ready to go!
  • Columns: I’ve got a lot of columns written up!
  • Other Stuff: I’ve been busy with all sorts of life things – job, visits, studying, cons and more.  I probably lost track of it all.

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #5: Getting marketing ready and launching it.
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Finishing Chapter 10 (probably) and editing 9 and 10 for deployment.
  • Other: Posting columns, a Halloween party, and of course making plans for next month.

I am probably doing Book 6.  It’s just going to take time.  Still aiming for December.  But that will then mean a break from these for awhile.

I do have some sales planned and I need to get to those.  So stay tuned there!

Steves Update 10/9/2017

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

It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so where am I?

So what have I done the last week?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: Whew.  Finished a big edit-run through.  Posted Chapter 8.  I am back to writing but also need to do a bit more plot fleshing out – as now we’re sliding into the crazy.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #4: Launched
  • Con-Volution: Attended.  More on that perhaps later!

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #5: I’m behind on this and have a lot going on.  So this week I want to get the cover and some editing done.
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Writing and hopefully a plot review.
  • Other: I need to queue up some blog posts and prepare for NaNoWriMo sales, along with the RWBY premier, and more.  As noted, October is going to be messy.

As an upcoming note, I am probably going to be blogging more diversely – and more erratically.  My “Agile Life” series seems to be coming to a close as I’ve shared a ton of insights, so I may only do it intermediately.  I miss career stuff.  I also want to be a bit more spontaneous.  So let’s see what happens!

Still debating if I’ll do the sixth minibook.  Certainly it WONT drop in November with NaNo, but not sure I wanna have one drop at Christmas.  Plus it needs to be finished and it might combine better with other words.  Well, we’ll see!

Steve’s Update – Late – 9/14/2017

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

It’s my weekly Scrum style standup for my audience, so where am I?

First, late.  Sorry team.

So what have I done the last week?

  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet”: Chapter 7 is about done, it just needs editing..  It’s a pretty critical one as it moves things on from the 40% mark forward – and sets things up for a massive amount of actions and reveals as the crew heads to the world of Lindhaem.
  • Way With Worlds Minibook #4: All formatted and ready.  Just have to do publicity and such.
  • Art: Continuing my cover art work. now on my tumblr.  My latest have been Overwatched themed.
  • Blog: Got more queued up.  I may start mixing it up more – I realized I haven’t career blogged in awhile as I got focused on my fiction projects!
  • General: Lots of chores, marketing stuff, and more.

What am I going to do this week:

  • Way With Worlds Minibook #4: I might do publicity setup for it, but I can wait.
  • “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Editing Chapter 7 and getting it ready, moving to chapter 8.
  • Seventh Sanctum: I have an idea for a new generator – well a new idea, I had another in the works.  Let’s see which one I get to first . . . I do at least want to map some data.
  • Other: Got a lot of events and a friend moving, so that may occupy a lot of time.
