The latest update is here!

Sorry for the lateness of the blog posts, by the way. It was one of those weeks. So let’s see what’s up!

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: The News and Worldbuilding book is done! Now for the next step!
  • Chance’s Muse: The Seventh Sanctum book is also done! I’ve been on a roll!
  • A School Of Many Futures: The sequel to “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet” plotting is still going on. I wanted it done this week, but due to delays, it won’t be ready to write for another two weeks.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: The news book goes off to the editor!
  • Chance’s Muse: Also off to the editor! You may sense a theme.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Work on the plotting of course. I will have the major outline and possibly a full scene-by scene in about 3 weeks. Hopefully.
  • Seventh Sanctum: OK I didn’t get back to Python or new generators, but I’m going to try harder this time 😉

As you may guess, I’m keeping these updates! I just may not post them as widely to my four (really) different platforms.

Warning, it has been busy lately, and there’s a lot going on. August is gonna be complicated.

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: I’m back to doing the News book – which is shaping up really well. Still looking at a September publishing date.
  • Chance’s Muse: That’s the name of the Seventh Sanctum book – I’m integrating reader feedback. It’s looking mostly good, and I plan to get it to my editor for September.
  • A School Of Many Futures: The sequel to “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet” is now being plotted – in fact I have most of the basic outline down and am plotting the character arcs!

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Pretty much write it, but next time you see this post, I should be done or just about done.
  • Chance’s Muse: Finish my edits, then start a full grammar edit. That probably won’t be done by the next update.
  • A School Of Many Futures: Finish up the character arcs plotting – and start plotting the book in detail!
  • Seventh Sanctum: I plan to get back to the Python coding, and possibly – possibly – start another generator!

Hey gang, still debating these updates. Starting to think they’re more suited for my newsletter or monthly. Any thoughts?

So what have I done since last time?

  • Way With Worlds: Still working on this, but I’ve had delays as it’s just been so darned busy. Won’t make too much of a difference in release, since I don’t keep these to tight schedules, but just a note if you follow my books intently.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: Prereaders have had great feedback on readability, so I expect to get that soon – say middle of next. Then diving into editing! I got the final editor lined up, still looking at November.
  • Sequel to “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” The plotting has come along and I worked out the big beats, and it’s going to be great. Get ready for a lot of cool stuff, humor, darker turns, and observations on our tropes about chosen ones. Also, someone will solve a magical puzzle by shooting it.

What’s next?

  • Way With Worlds: Trying to get back to working on it regularly. I expect to be able to do so this weekend.
  • Seventh Sanctum Book: Getting back the book, hopefully!
  • Sequel to “A Bridge To The Quiet Planet:” Deep dives on the character arcs, then if all goes well, fleshing out the plot in detail!
