This blog started.
It is now 365 days later. Where did we start? Where are we now?
The first entry was written just several months after Code-47: Memoirs of a Hip Hop Heist was published. I was relieved that Code-47 was released, but I was anxious about the next and current project A Company of Moors. The first entry was entitled Over 35 Pages of Notes, explaining the piles of notes I was buried under to put together this massive, historical-fiction, epic.
Those notes (with more added to them as I continued research even as I write the book) have added up to almost 300 pages of actual manuscript (and counting). We are winding down as the plot is about to reach its height. 365 days later and something has come from ... almost nothing. I mean, notes are something.
Every piece of progress has been logged. The goals were not met, but the first entry does speak about the trials and tribulations of writing. But, next year has been set up for a two-book release. ACoM and the third epic poem.
You heard correct. Not the the 2nd epic, but the third. Trust me its all part of a grand plan. The reason has already been discussed. 2 Enlighten the G.O.D.Z. has another year to collect dust. It will have its moment to shine. It will still be known as Epic Number 2.
ACoM was supposed to be released late November, 2009. Now I'll be happy with just releasing the book by February of 2010, no later than March.
Made a move back home, leaving Atlanta behind for Brooklyn, New York. And a specific date for our wedding has been set. That will be another fun event. I have been more relaxed back in New York. This is home, even if I was born upstate in Schenectady. Brooklyn has provided a great deal of inspiration for future writings, and the home I grew up in has provided inspiration for the current book I'm writing.
Next year may also see the special edition of The Ronin Poetz.
Just as cool, Ancient-Art-of-Facts has seen a cool update. Looks far more sleek and mystical-magical.
365 days later has seen a great setup for 2010. New books for the new year. New site. Revamps of old projects (yeah, I'm gonna jump on 12 Stories re-edit and cover re-make).
Happy birthday, thoughts.
