(Way With Worlds Runs at Seventh Sanctum, Muse Hack, and Ongoing Worlds)

So we discussed the odds of things in your world, of knowing how likely things were. Now let’s talk the thing you’re writing the most, the odds you know but don’t realize you know, and the most important part of your world and he tales in it.

What’s normal.

In fact, I’m going to tell you that what your stories are about, your world everything about them, is about what’s normal. No matter how freaky your character, strange your plot, normal is what’s important.

And you need to know what’s Normal in your world.

Steve’s Update 12/1/2014

OK a bit behind – been busy, been traveling, so here’s what’s up!

First of all, I’m working out my final speaking engagements at AODSF.  It looks like it’ll be on writing, curry, and networking.  Yep, the full Steve Savage Obsession Range will be a-go.

MuseHack, as you saw, is re-structuring – to be my more voice yet a voice of enablement.  That’s taking time, but I like how it’s shaping up – and expect a lot over the holidays!  I also just finished my Fandom Identity series, and started a new two parter on “Is There An IT Gap.”  I also have a few more things coming up after that as I focus more longform.

I’ve been discussing my next book plans with some people and will probably start a new book project sometime in the new year.  Still shaping it up, but I’ve found a few things to focus on.

Next up for Seventh Sanctum will probably be a magical power generator, for those anime like Fairy Tail and some early fantasy where “superpower” and “magic” and “martial arts” were kinda slammed together.  But it’ll be a little crazier than you may expect . . .

That’s it for me.
