Why I Wrote It: Sex and Worldbuilding
(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.comand Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
I’ve decided to take the time to discuss just why I’ve written some of my books. I figure every week or every other week I’ll talk about just what I did, why I did it, and what I learned.
Sex and Worldbuilding was my first “Minibook” in the Way With Worlds series. It originated in a series of interesting events.
The story of my Way With World minibooks is complicated. They originated with an...

Resting In The Palm Of Your Hand
(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.comand Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
Several times when I’ve read about psychology, philosophy, and meditation I’ve seen people go about how you can’t really “grasp” things. You can’t truly hold an emotion because you live it. You can’t truly sieze on peace of mind because it disrupts piece of mind. These are things you experience, but they can’t be put into a box.
This is very frustrating to many people (at times myself) because...

Tofu Scrambled Eggs
This was a hopeful attempt at creating a scrambled egg that was vegan – I have a recipe for egg muffins, but that’s not the same. So I just crossed one of my recipies with some stuff I found online and it worked!
Done right, these are really close to scrambled eggs. The only caution is to not use a firm tofu else it becomes kind of crumbly. Experiment to find what works for you.
Otherwise, whip these up and you can fry them up like any eggs (though I might try baking to make it even more...

Sharing Interesting Things
(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.comand Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
One thing I did this Christmas was to gift some people various games that deserved their attention as they were:
Indie games that were original or interesting.Early access games that deserved support – and were usually Indie games as well.Games that broke the mold or redid things in smart ways.The reasons for this may seem obvious, but to be obvious:
I want to support Indie games so that the...December 31, 2019
Always In Touch
(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.comand Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
As noted before, I replotted and restarted some of my sequel to A Bridge To The Quiet Planet. There were many reasons from stress to the fact I’m frankly playing above my game – it’s less romp more messed up magical mystery with twists and turns. But these moments teach us plenty of lessons – and here’s another to share.
Lately, life has been chaotic (this has fortunately calmed). This chaos...

A Thought On Scrum And Story Plotting
(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.comand Steve’s Tumblr. Find out more at my newsletter.)
As you are painfully aware, unless you have never heard of me, I’m big into applying Agile to creative methods. Writing nonfiction, however, has eluded me – but I may have had a useful breakthrough.
First, assuming you somehow didn’t know anything about me beyond my name, an explainer. Agile is an approach to projects that emphasizes adaptability, adjustment, communication, and not-overdoing....
