...you say you'll do.
I've always been the type to want to do something, and put it off forever. Well I can finally mark one thing that has been on such a list, for at least a year, if not a year in a few months.
I finally drove myself up to Trion, GA, and visited Corpsewood Manor. I even got some good pictures. Check my Ghost Blog if your interested.
But I just want yall to know, I never forget. I never quit. And I never give up if the only thing stopping me is myself. I always find a way.
So to that end, I will finish my novel. I will make CSE a major enterprise. I will bring jobs to those who need them.
I suppose now, the only thing left to worry about, is what will I do when other people quit on me...seems to be a recurring theme in my life.

Revamping CSE
Continuing my work on the novel, and working a few new deals out to get CSE a more solid foundation. Right now it feels very amatuer. Trying to fix that now. Should be a good summer for us. I will be finishing the novel this month, or towards May.
I will be able to fund alot more stuff for CSE from personal finances. Things are getting much better. :)
I hope you guys will stick with us! Im looking to pull a few new artists for work with us.

Horror Film Contest
Unfortuately, things didn't go as planned. Didn't really get the outpouring from the community I wanted, but thats alright. Im going to try to re-attempt this contest over the summer, after we put out our Zombie Short Film.
Its funny, I can sense the lack of motivation from my team, as I progress, and in turn, it causes me to be un-motivated. I have to find a way to remotivate my team, and get things going again. Its like hittng a wall when your running, you have to push through it, and finish the next lap, even if its one step at a time.
Okay, so what is new? I saw Cabin Fever II. In my opinion its not even worth your purchase, everything about it is so week, and not worth the money. The plot-line is cliche, and most of the acting is bad. Sometimes it seems like that some parts of the movie were intentionally made for nudity and sexuality. Its almost funny, but it never reaches that point, and frankly, it just sucks. I'll put the link up, just in case your interested...or sadistic.
About the only redeeming quality to the whole film is the main actor. I can't remember his name, but he plays his role really well. I hope he gets picked out of ths, and goes on to mke other things.
What else? Still reading my zombie steampunk book, and working on my own. Horrible bit of anti-motivation now...

Boneshaker
Haha, if you've been keeping track for some months, you know that as part of my efforts to energize my creative writing potential; I keep a very substansive reading list. For some tme now, the book "Boneshaker" by Cherie Priest, has been on the second position for said list. However, I picked up the book as a Christmas Present, and have been reading it (albeit slowly) for two months.
Now half-way done, I can give you a small peak into what I think. Its a great book, thus far. The first chapter started off a little slow; and even confused me a little bit. However, once you get to the point that the characters start their adventure into depopulated zombie-infested section of Seatte; its picked up quite nicely. Id recommend it as a read for any fan of Steampunk or Zombie-Fiction.
Lets see, what else is new? Haven't worked too much on the novel this week. Going to pick up tommorrow. Trust me on that. I've been playing Entropia Universe a bit, where I've restarted my Society. More to come on that.

Updates
It seems the second half of winter is a bit of a slowing period for the company. Alot of people have returned to school, but Im still slowly but surely grinding forward to make things work. The biggest thing though, is that are budget is stretched entirely too thin.
Im still in the process of writing the novel. As I've stated many times, my goal is to be finished or close to finished by the end of March. Once again I still have the monumental task of shopping the manuscript around even after I finish it.
Given my current luck trying to get published, I'm wanting to make this manuscript as good as it can be. Though I know it is a numbers game.
Anyhow, if you want to support us, check out the website. Look at our comic and movie, maybe even buy something???
Thanks Yall

Emperor is Sick
Hey all. So this weekend, I went to Ft Gordon for some Super High Intensity Training. Yeah, some of you got that. Anyhow, they gave me a shot, supposedly for Swine Flu (for the 3rd time). And now I'm sick.
So I dont have too much to say. Can't write any today or this weekend.
I do need players for a new online game I've started.
Click Here
Otherwise, wait for next week! Thanks!

Crimson Star Updated
Okay, so finally added The Roman's sculptures to the main blog. After getting a second NATT from a magazine publisher for the same story; I've decided to release it online. Its $2.99, and will be sent to you as a PDF file. Its a very good story, but was far too niche to be acceptable in a magazine. However, I think the second story I sent out, will probably be accepted. Its much more artistic and much more personal.
To see some of Ed's Art, click here.
To buy my short story, click here.
The story itself is high fantasy, about a criminal waging a one-man war against an empire. But his reasons for doing so are not clear, as the investigator who arrives is further confused by his actions. Its a great beginning for a new series!
The setting is Eavton, the same as my Knight Spectre Comic, an agrarian nation of halflings and men headed by an all-powerful Emperor who shares divine lineage. A proto-typical "Righteous" nation, their society is well-structured and organized, to the extent of having huge social controls on their people. However, now, a new threat is growing in the North.
Like the idea? Read the short story. Soon I will be starting a novel and a sourcebook for the setting!
Here are some previews of his sculptures, for you guys to look at online.
Interesting, right?
Email me here if your interested in buying.

Real Life Superheroes
I should be writing. I definately will write a good bit more this weekend. I just caught an interesting piece this morning, about people who dressed up and masqueraded as 'Real Life Superheroes'. Anyone have any information on this phenomenon?

State of the Union
Hey everyone. Just took a break from working on the blooper reel for Four Roses, to watch the State of the Union. I found it very moving, definately the best one I've seen since I've been watching them.
Times are tough. But it's getting better.

They Came from the Woods
Im working on a great new Short Story. I've titled it, "They Came from the Woods". It should be a decent read, I'm really enjoying writing it. Its a modern horror story, with some fantasy elements. Its a unique take on the concept of the 'Unseelie Court'.
I'll keep you guys informed when it gets picked up. Go ahead and follow my blog!

Four Roses
Okay, so I've finally done it! We've completed our short film, it is 5 minutes long, and is a creative documentary. That being said, it clearly defines some history behind the location, the Rufus Rose House, but takes some artistic liberty with telling parts of the story. It should be clear what liberties have been taken.
However, for the most part, everything here is either based on Fact, or personal observation from Ghost Hunts I've done at the House. I hope you guys enjoy!
Four Roses
So now you ask, whats next? Well, I've got to get the comic updated this month, we are a bit behind. I'm also returning to work on my novel, and hopefully, I am begginning planning on a modification to the game Civilization IV, based upon my Fictional Setting.
So, stay tuned!
Please, check out the Film! Click above!

Interesting
Yesterday was my first day as a Project Director and acting Unit Director for a film production. Its kinda funny, I dont usually care about titles, but I can see how having one definatly does increase your self esteem. But I'm trying to keep my working class background inherent. "Fuck the title, gimme the paycheck." becomes "Fuck the title, lemme make my art."
Yeah. I'll have to be sure to not let it go to my head. And it will take conscious act of will not to be an ass.
But the project goes well. My writing goes well. Hopefully my fan base expands. So if anyone is interested, go ahead and follow this blog!

New Crimson Star Projects
Oh, 2010 has a few new things we are working towards to give yall some things to look forward to. I suppose most of these items are still tenative. For many of these projects, this will be a first mention. For others, this will be what seems like the 30th time.
Emperor's Newest Book: The aforementioned zombie novel. Im still working hard on this one, but rather than the 10,000 words a week I need, I've managing around 5000. I will kick it up a notch or two, but I dont want to rush the story.
Short Stories: Hopefully many more short stories to come from me. However it depends entirely upon my ability to develop my craft as well as sell my stories.
New Campaign Setting: Working on the Fantasy Campaign Setting, the Eavton Setting. Its the same setting that the Knight Spectre comic is based in. And of course, you will see much more of Knight Spectre in the coming months.
Haunted Atlanta: A series of miniature thematic documentaries that we are working on. Mostly focusing on the many hauntings that I cover in my Ghost Blog.
In around Summer of 2010, we are gearing up to shoot some promotional films for a Ghost Tour we will be offering in the Atlanta Area. The Ghost tours will be cheap, and a great experience. The hope is that via the tours, we raise enough money to throw a party that we are calling Zombiefest 2010. Zombiefest will have a large game of Humans Vs Zombies, a Vampire Dinnery Mystery for interested parties, and a screening room and booths to buy our books, pizza, drinks, and movies. It should be great fun, however it will be in the Atlanta Area.
However, to make this a reality, I am now considering selling some portion of equity in the business, or taking a loan. If you have any details, or any offers feel free to email me at Emperor@CrimsonStarEntertainment.com Please put "Freelance Finance" in the subject line for consideration.
Of course if you want to contribute, but don't have that much cash, sign up for our mailing list, and keep track of us. It will help us sell advertising, like google adsense, where we get paid for clicks on the google links. If you really wanna help, you can always donate a small amount, or buy one of our products!
Thanks so much and stay tuned!

Emperor's Web Comic
Finally! Got the frames for this month complete. I was going to do more finishing on them, but it took long enough just to get these first ones out, that I decided to forego that. Instead, I wanted to go ahead and get this item out as quickly as possible.
The story revolves around a Knight in a Fantasy Realm, who leaves his home to fight a war against Dark Forces. His unit is decimated, and he leads a one-man guerilla campaign of his own, thanks to powers granted to him by an artifact he finds.
Here he is, Ceeric, the protagonist.
I hope you guys enjoy it! Im sorry it took so long! The next frames will be put out on Xmas Eve! Click below for the first two frames!

Emperor and the Grog Bowl
Oh, I just got back from Ft Stewart, and now I have ample amounts of time to work on my writing, and whip my team into shape. I know some of you have been waiting on this comic for...well, forever, and I am trying to do what I can to expedite that process. But I certainly had a great time, and for me they are few and far between (I am anything but a party animal; workhorse is more applicable.) I appreciate any and all the support you guys give me, and I appreciate those who buy my products!
Here I am, after my Unit's Military Ball:
Clyde only ever had one Bonnie, that night I had two! But in all seriousness I had a great time, and the ball regenerated my batteries, and definitely gave me some new ideas and perspectives for my novel. Indeed, the only thing I will miss about the Military are the people. I've had some incredibly good times. Below, you will find my newest press release for the company!
Press Release
It details some great things I've got planned for 2010! Take a look!So, keep tuned!
