Act One, 81 Pages

2012-01-30T22:33:00.000-05:00

The first act, 81 pages in length, has been given to the editors. Their copies were received over the weekend, and while they toil away ripping apart the masterpiece, I'm writing the 3rd and final act, and I'm also going through the second act again, this time completed. Gonna be tightening the second act, ripping it apart myself...until its ultimate rip apart by the editors. 2012 is gonna be a

Hell Up In It

Okay. So this new project has not seen a blow-by-blow commentary like A Company of Moors and the renovation project of 12 Stories High. But there has been a lot going on. The end of Ancient-Art-of-Facts, for starters, which comes with all of the re-working of the interior and covers for all books in print to fit the new company name and logo. One-by-one, all titles will be ported over to the new

As I Have Foreseen

I just registered the name for the new company and have also registered the website. I've already created the web page. It will be up and running within the coming months, most likely when the latest project is finished and ready for its extensive editing. What's next on the agenda list is getting in contact with the distributors and printer to notify them of the business change. The covers and

Yesterday I turned 34. 30 years ago, on my fourth birthday, I received as a gift a sky-blue typewriter. I composed my first 'professional' story on it that night. No pencil, no pen, no crayon. No yellow, square paper for kids. This was 'professional' white paper, and it was typed. Concept was pretty deep (for a four year old): older kids living in a house. One at home trying to guess who was in

Waiting Game

2011-04-19T12:43:00.000-04:00

And so we're just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for Amazon (dot) slow to update the cover art. Other than that, the book is available, and some people have already been purchasing it, kinda forcing my hand to do a soft advertisement. When all is up and going, then the big stuff hits. In far greater news, I'm one chapter in on the new

The proof for 12 Stories High has been approved. The new edition of the book will be open to markets over the next coming days. I'll give a BLAST when the book is fully available for order online and in stores. It looks good. My main concern is the update to online sites (amazon and barnes and noble...ect) for updating their catalog to reflect the new cover, so people know that a new version of

BANG! And we're off. 12 Stories High is off to the races. Intense work was done over the weekend to go over all edits, the application of edits. We're looking good. This after noon, around 2 o'clock, the final interior of the book was given to the printers. A final proof was ordered, and all will be well for approval for the distributors to update their catalogs with the new volume of 12 Stories

Got a little ahead of ourselves. There will be one more go through for 12 Stories High this weekend. One last sweep. A final approval, and then it's off to the printer for the final time. Stick 'em up punk! b write black

All commercials have been updated, but not uploaded. The book has been sifted through to see if there needed any cleanup on the application (and there did, plus some re-edits, and of course, looking through those as well. We have this book looking good. I'll say this, we might not have caught everything--hopefully the major typos and glaring edits have been scooped up and tossed away for good,

Charactude

2011-03-20T13:53:00.000-04:00

For the most part, on this new project, I have the chronology, and I've definitely have the mood and tone of the piece. It fluxes between mystical-magical, noire, and even a hint of a Western, not in the sense that it takes place in the Old West, or even in America's South West--but a sense that some of the characters carry themselves like old school gunslingers. Badass, without being cliche.

A New Hope

2011-03-19T21:20:00.001-04:00

I've gathered all the notes for the new project. Old notes. They're probably five to ten years old. At one time, this project was supposed to be a short movie. Part of a script was put together, written around 2000, 2001, and revisited fall of 2004. I got as far as the first 30 pages, 35. It's now notes. I don't think I'll use any of the dialogue. It's kinda hokey, and because it was intended for

Editing Job: Application II

2011-03-19T16:58:00.002-04:00

All edits have been applied, finished yesterday, early morning. The rest of the time for this weekend will be spent on making sure that all edits have been applied properly. A first run through of this was done yesterday afternoon, but it's never a bad idea to make a second run through. 12 Stories High looks and feels amazing in its current read. The stories are in their finished, and most

Editing Job: Application

2011-03-12T12:52:00.000-05:00

The proof is not positive, but it ain't negative either. A few errors to correct, and as of now I'm on the final story, having sifted through the books pages rigorously over the last two weeks. It's safe to say this is the final edit. All that is left, besides the final story, is the application process. Then, a quick review, and a push for availability. I'm excited to have the 'core four' be

The timeline for this new, multi-book project has been ironed out. Dates, ages, have all been shaped to make sense. It didn't take as long as I thought it would be, and an element to the story, that will play in the background for now, has been put together and has weight. I have two more sections of this timeline to lay out, that flows more into the book I'll begin writing, setting up the

It has been a helluva month. Teasers abound. Promotion running rampant. We're down to the final proof for 12 Stories High before its re-release into the world. All of the commercials for the Imaginative Campaign are up and running. The commercials will get a change when the book is re-released. There was a mix up with ordering the proof, and we got it late. As much as our noses are in the grind,

Press Release, and All That

2011-02-01T19:57:00.000-05:00

Finished the final application of edits for 12 Stories High. Last night I gathered notes together for the next project. Was having a lot of fun putting the ideas together, carving out the characters, motivations, and their larger story. I had to re-work one of the teasers, so, the launch of will come tomorrow, as well as sending off the (hopefully) final manuscript for 12 Stories High to the

January has been a helluva month. It's been a buckle-down, crunch-time, hardcore promotion for 12 Stories High's re-release. And more on the way. All 12 stories have had several run-thru edits. Now, we're in the final phases of application of edits (one last story), and then ultimately a 2nd proof, which we hope to be completely immaculate. New commercials for 12 Stories High have been posted to

2011: The Year of the Cheat Code

2011-01-01T09:36:00.001-05:00

Okay. A goal will finally be reached. This year. 2011. Two projects released. One year. Two books. We have coming up first, 12 Stories High: The Imaginative Trip Thru a Black Mind. And we also have 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z. But, as the title of this entry says, this is a year of cheat codes. 12 Stories is just a re-release. So, does that count. Yeah. To me. And 2 Enlighten The G.O.D.Z. has been
