Resurrection!

17 12 2008

Today I’m planning on reviving this blog from the land of the dead.

I know that I’ve fallen into bad blogging habits after November’s stunt with NaNoWriMo — which, incidentally, I failed horribly at — but I’m fully prepared to make up for it.

Lots of things are in the works for a revamp of The TECH Project.  I’ll be posting news later in the month regarding the novel, a website that’s being built as we speak, and the novella Dance, Dance, along with other information about different things.

As a side note: I hear that the New Moon film is coming out on November 20th of 2009.  I’ll talk more about my experience watching the Twilight film in the next post!





Got Facebook?

7 11 2008

So I know that a lot of people who visit this blog are only in it for the prom dresses… but if you’re really a fan, or just curious about what The TECH Project is, do check out the Facebook page for the novel.  [The TECH Project, by the way, is not affiliated with Facebook -- Facebook just hosts the page.]

I’m posting because I just posted six photos on the page.  The photos are of the six main characters of The TECH Project:

Zoe Lee
Gordy Johnson
Maria Aguinaldo
Ian Drake
Juliet Martin
Chloe Sibylle

Each photo comes with an excerpt from the novel about the character and his or her interactions with other characters.  Great way to find out more about them, don’t you think?  =]

Anyways – I would become your eternal slave if you became a fan of the page.  But you’ll have to share me with the rest of the fans.  =D





Cover Designs

13 10 2008

The cover desgin for The TECH Project is underway.

I got a few samples in — you can check them out at www.myspace.com/thetechproject, where there is a photo album called “Book Cover Gallery”.  There are four or so covers that might be used in the project.

Well, I have a science paper to write, so I’ll leave this as a short post.





Question

27 12 2007

Long time no write.

December was a busy month. There was exam week, studying for exam week, the talent show that I was in charge of, Christmas shopping, actual Christmas… there was hardly any time to check e-mail, let alone post!

For my final portfolio in Creative Writing, I managed to pull out a great short story. The title was “My Sacrifice”, and it was about Zoe Lee, the protagonist of The TECH Project.

I’ve been working on a few short stories to submist to magazines. So, my question is this: should I attemt to submit “My Sacrifice” and get it published, or should I keep it to myself?





Modeling Update???

4 12 2007

All right, guys. The TECH Project may soon be getting some models.

Last week, I went to talk to my cousin-in-law, who’s a lawyer. There was a large discussion involved, but eventually we came to an agreement involving me making up some sort of model release form for the models and their parents to sign (since they’re all minors) to make everything legal. I’m really excited.

So here are the contracts I need and who has agreed to sign them:

  • Zoe Lee, Purple : still waiting, but highly likely
  • Gordy Johnson, Dark Gray : still waiting
  • Maria Aguinaldo, Red : Definite yes (F.C.)
  • Ian Drake, Light Blue : still waiting, questionable
  • Juliet Martin, Yellow : still waiting
  • Vera Icharus, Talon : Yes (J.T.)
  • Daniel Ricky, Digitize : Yes (D.B.)
  • Sofie Beretta, Armsdealer : Yes (D.B.)
  • Tria Aguinaldo, Thunder : Definite yes (C.C.)
  • Amanda Sybille, Stretch : still waiting, questionable

As you can see, there are five different models so far. None of them have signed any release forms yet, but those still need to be made up. (The only one I have is legal and valid, “governed by the laws of England”. Good luck getting that past an American court.)

Any thoughts on modeling?
