9/6/11 -- Insert
Fanfare Here I just felt an inexplicable draw to post an
update to the site and inadvertently realized that today is, in fact, the 15th
anniversary of the Chrono Trigger Novel's initial conception.
Having just finished the book The Secret, that is particularly
intriguing.At any rate, for those of you who still check in on the
site once in awhile remembering the ambitious hope of an aspiring novelist to
rise above the corporate blockades and beat all the odds to bring the classic
story that truly is Chrono Trigger into book format, I give a rousing
"thank you." Your loyalty and support have never gone forgotten, nor has
the cause in which we have believed in now for a decade and a half.
I must report that, in
terms of the novel itself, very little progress has been made this year.
However, everything is in its own timing, and we all know that this story is,
indeed, timeless. While the novel awaits its ultimate and glorious
completion, through final editing of the already-written "first book," there are
developments in motion that may finally pave the way to making this dream a
reality. My time these days is spent heavily in the business world,
growing no less than two companies into global enterprises. One that I am
half-majority owner of, Netovative, has particularly linked me up to direct
publishing contacts and others that begin to touch even the elite class of the
world. Frankly speaking, this is high-level stuff, and it is something
that I am putting my focus in to cultivate at this time. You won't find
much about this company online or from our website,
www.netovativellc.com, at least not
yet. But it just might be our ticket to success, should I be able to gain
the attention of Square-Enix with a full worldwide distribution network and
publishing sources already within my grasp. After all, if you really want
to do business with the big dogs, then act like one.
This is an update I know
I owe all those who've supported me and these efforts over the years. In
fact, it's truly not near enough, and at this point I can only hope that you
will all find this update. If you do, please reach out to me and catch up:
, or
write me at the address on the
contact page.
I can tell you all, and wisely so, that writing the CT Novel is not my
number one goal in life. However, the time will be right when this can
indeed become my chief aim, and I will believe in the time of this project's
success. Until then, please keep in touch, tuned in, and ready for
something great.
Finally, as a matter of
commemoration, try typing in some various years of significance into the News
Year box above, just for fun. Take care everyone!
12/6/10 -- What
Happened? Whoa, what happened here? Has an
entire year gone by without any site updates? Sadly, the answer to this
question is a shameful "yes." On the upside, the lack of my public
presence does not indicate the lack of continued efforts on the novel.
It is slow, but this was never a project that could work itself out in haste.
As things stand, there
is no indication from Square-Enix that they will accept the novel. This
will continue to be pursued with them. In the meantime, I've had to think
about the outcome of this project's efforts should the novel be totally finished
and still without any road to publication. All those who have followed
this project and read the available Demo Chapters should know that this novel
stands on its own, with countless unique story elements, dialogue, occurrences,
and scenes (even entire chapters) that are ultimately my intellectual property.
Just know for now that this concept is not lost on my mind, and I do not intend
to let the efforts of this project go to waste, no matter how many years it may
take to finally culminate and find its completed product in the hands of the
general public.
From this point, I will
do my very best to add more updates going into 2011. Please always
continue to keep the
forum community alive, whether discussing the novel or anything else
Chrono. On another topic, I would like to leave you with a few links
of interest: for a truly unique personal opportunity, visit
www.globalinformationnetwork.com (remember affiliate code CT007 if you're
one of those with enough vision to take the next step) and subsequently another
website of my own, www.netovativellc.com.
Finally, I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Always believe in great things to come!
8/9/09 -- Square
Material and Fan Art As you may have noticed in the "Novelist Watch"
above, a response is now en route to Square-Enix as part of my commitment to
remain in communication with them. It's obviously my hope that they will
remain responsive so that I might fully gauge if the CT Novel can, through any
feasible means, become reality. As for other site updates, I have three
new pieces of fan art
from MagusChild, including a unique depiction of Magus as a cat.
Also, for those who were
concerned, the Chrono Compendium site was recently down, displaying only a
message "Hello, world." Though I have no idea of the reasons behind this
message, their downtime was the result of site maintenance. Furthermore,
as a part of their recent C&D from Square-Enix, they are no longer allowing news
updates to the site directly from fan project leaders. Therefore, CTNP
updates will be sent to Zeality and included as part of his general fan
community updates. Of course, you'll always find such updates in full
detail right here at CTSite.
