Imagine

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 the youtube AncientArtPublishing channel as the Imagination Campaign. They've also been posted to social networking sites. It's only two commercials, but there are three more on the way, coming tomorrow and hitting hard. We're just steps closer to having the core four of books displayed, at the ready for purchase and read.

Hopefully there will be a roughdraft of 2 Enlighten the G.O.D.Z.'s cover sometime around April. Also, a new set of characters, plot, and setting are being rounded up for the beginning segment of a large story. Notes are being gather as I write this now (a little upset that a set of notes are buried under a lot of crap, lying in a box). Tomorrow, February 1st, begins a great, many things.

2011: The Year of the Cheat Code

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 finished since 2001, with some minor retouches here and there. So, although I've worked on the re-edits, the two works are not exactly being written from scratch and handed out in an immaculate form.

But, hey, it counts.

Doesn't it?

Well, I will be getting to work on the fantasy epic that will arc over a series of books. I've been outlining the first book, which will be a helluva story. I'll dive into writing this come April or so. Can't wait. Hopefully it will get a 2012 release...barring the so-called end of the world.

This blog will get fatter again, with more information of that fantasy epic -- at least Book One. More entries in this blog. This year is gonna be big for Ancient-Art-of-Facts. Get fat with us. I'm nothing short of excited.
