New Encyclopedia Imperia Project

OK I've started a new projec that you can find here. This new project is part of the Imperial Writer's Guide and the Empire Project in general. I will be updating this blog with a new article from the Encyclopedia every two weeks. This will hopefully help those who want to write stories in the Imonoran Empire to do so.

These articles will be archived in the Encyclopedia Imperia Site (A.K.A. The Imonoran Empire Wiki) . This means a large expansion for the Imperial Writer's Guide and Encyclopedia Imperia. I hope that people will enjoy the easy format of the Encyclopedia.

No there is no order to how the articles will come out so you will just have to wait and see like everybody else. The first article as well as an Introduction to the whole project is up on the blog already. The first few articles will be ones that are already on the site. That way we can get infomation out to you in a quick manner.

Blinding Dig (Working Title)

NaNoWriMo '08 is almost upon us and I am going to work at it again this month. I plan to double the out put I had from last year. That's right 100k words this next month instead of 50k. The next novel in the Imonoran Empire will be written during this month giving me more time to work on Ynel and do it right.

To get a synopsis of the novel go to my NaNoWriMo page (by clicking on the banner above). You can also follow my progress this year as I write the novel by clicking the banner.

So watch and wait and you may get a sneak peek at the novel as well.

Lost Falchion Update

OK I'm sure everyone who is still following this is wondering about a release date for Lost Falchion n print.

Well there currently is no release date. It will probably fall long the lines of late (very late) '09. This will put it along the same lines as Forced War's release date giving you too books from the Imonoran Empire line to buy. I've started work on a short story based In Ilahin Imperial Republic as well. It is going to be quite long and won't come out over the feed until after it is complete (which because of other projects probably won't be until after Forced War is finished podcasting).

I'm still working on other stories for the Empire and have started a new series of short stories (outside of what is already being released, so no this isn't the IHDA). This means more content will be coming across the IEC feed for you in the years (yes that is years) to come.

I have started some prelim work on the Next Imonoran Empire Novel/Novella including the time frame characters n general plot line of the story. I will be hiding a release of the Prologue to this latest story somewhere across the RB's Universe with in the next 6-8 months. I will drop hints to it here and everywhere.

I've also started working on some prelim work for the Ynel novel. I don't know if I'm going to work on Short Stories for Ynel I have a few in mind but again not sure. I know I won't be continuing the Ynel stories beyond what I write in the start: meaning after I podcast the Ynel novel I won't be continuing to write stories for it like the Imonoran Empire.

Also I'm done with prelim work for the first novel in Urkia Quadrilogy. At the moment though I don't know if I am going to work on the Urkia Quadrilogy or Ynel novel first.

So there is lot of Updates for you, more than just Lost Falchion.

Updates for Everyone

So I haven't been writing anything here on my blog or anywhere else. But I have been busy. I've been battling a small bout of depression and writers' block. Thank you all for sticking with me and staying through until the end of the little problem.

Well now the train is back on its tracks and moving ahead full speed. We are going to see a lot coming out of me these next few months before Forced War debuts in December, which I hope everyone is looking forward too. Since the Prologue has already been released that one is going to be released in a special episode at 12:00 am PST on November 30th. And then the very, next day, that's right folks two episodes in a row, at 12:00 am PST December 1st Forced War Chapter 1 will be going out over the feed.

So everyone will have their fill of Imonoran Empiry goodness. You guys have only yourselves to thank for this for keeping me going and supporting me through this little bout of depression and writers' block.

For now all you need to get crackin' on your own Imonoran Empire Stories. There are a lot of rescourses so far that you can use. Two of the largest projects that I'm working on is the Encyclopedia Imperia (A.K.A. the Imonoran Empire Wiki) and Imperial Writers' Guide. These are hopefully going to be two very well defined pieces of work to help you on your journey in writing for the Imonoran Empire. Remeber we are even running a contest to have your stories put in Empire Vols. 3 and 4.

To enter this simply send your story (as a ".doc") in an e-mail to either rbsuniverse@gmail.com or imonoranempire@gmail.com. We are hoping for 20 stories in each Volume so get cracking and if you need help you can always send e-mails to either one of those two above or comment here on the blog.

Thanks again for all the support and please go for the gold in this contest.
