Stay Tuned (lol, for real)

To all,

After taking a little time to regroup and reassess my ideas, I’ve reached the conclusion that this whole thing should stay simple. Before, I had a vision of expanding Machscribe into a massive media company, but the approach to getting there is by starting at the core:

Machscribe is, and always will be a medium for expression, both personal and public. With that noted, I will continue using it as a means of portfolio construction while simultaneously building a relationship with friends, fans, and partners.

Viewers will see lots of changes here with modified layouts and more content in the near future. I’ll be posting up snippets and prototypes of stories and novels in development as well as other artwork, CAD, or blog material pertaining to current events. I have a selection of hobbies, but you’ll definitely see automobiles and music take the lead.

I’m a pretty opinionated guy, but the point of this is to establish a connection with the world. If you have an opinion, or ANYTHING that you need to get off of your chest, feel free to post and let me (and others) know. Don’t be shy!

Message To Anyone Out There

First post in three months. Shit.

 

I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing.

Honestly, I dove in over my head with this entire project, as I tend to do whenever I grow excited about a blazing new idea. I tend to see the end result, which is usually glorious–but unfortunately without recognizing what it truly takes to get there.

With very little ability to manipulate my dreams into a digital reality at the moment, I find it best to stick to what I’m good at: writing.

The keys of my beloved knock-off keyboard, and the temptations of the void white paperspace on Microsoft Word. I have stories to tell, but for now, I can only do it with words. Nothing more.

 

That’s me. There’s where I belong, at least until I can assemble a development team. I need help with this, but I’m not sure how to make it work. When that time comes, anyone who sees this will the first to know.

 

My sincere apologies,

Updates

To all,

As we continue updating the site, we’ll keep you posted on the progress. Now, as you see, we’ve begun implementing basic social networking functionality. This means that, just like the other popular websites you use, you’ll also be able to directly share, like, and comment on our posts using your Facebook!

Soon, we plan on adding a roster of journalists and bloggers to begin our own news feed. During this time, you’ll see a few posts every now and then, and likely some layout changes as we continue to test and tune our updates.  Considering that we only have one active blogger (me lol), most of the posts will be from me until more people are added. Feel free to contact me on my Facebook (we’re also getting Machscribe email addresses set up) if you’re interested.

Thank you for bearing with us during our rise to form and function!

Talent Building & Expansion

Well, now that things have gotten started, we’re going to begin actively looking for bloggers and journalists to get things going. On Tuesday, we proudly added another fiction author to the team, and his information will be announced soon. Any other promising authors who are striving to get their names and work out to the eyes of the world are more than free to inquire.

As for the live blogs and newsfeeds:

In the future, each day, you should find a selection of posts that pertain to various categories, written by bloggers who are affiliated with Machscribe and have an amount of passion equivalent to the people who started this. We expect that there will be a myriad of topics (automotive, sports, politics, feminism, technology, education, etc.) to choose from.

Unfortunately, we still have quite a long way to go with the website itself, as we are fine tuning the posting functions and working on developing live news feeds inside of the page (and each subpage, as we are still having problems with subpages). Also, because this is an entity founded on honesty, we are looking into fundraising options too. Machscribe is 100% personally funded, with the money to operate and develop the site coming from our pockets.

Perhaps a Kickstarter campaign in the near future will do as we press forward to expand our business model will help. A corporate email service will be started up within the next week (hopefully this weekend), and as soon as that happens, our contact information will be posted and any help or inquires from you will be appreciated beyond comprehension!

Thank you!

A Special Note

Well, this is kind of surreal. I never thought that I’d be trying to make my dreams come true, but here I am. This team is small, but it will grow.

There is one photographer and graphic designer: Dade Razete.

There is one author and journalist: Bryan Williams (me).

But our hope still lives, because we know that this whole thing has to start somewhere. All we want is to express ourselves in the best way possible, and we will use whatever medium available to us in order to do so. We want to entertain and amaze. We want to see our fans and customers changed for the better by our passion, but most of all, we want to make a difference.

Dade’s talents are phenomenal. Not to gloat, but seeing his progression from an amateur to his current capabilities is nothing but mind blowing. He is fully responsible for the cover of my first published book, The Underground Kings, but you should also check out his personal page here:

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

As for me, I’m just your average guy that wants to write books. I just have dozens of stories to tell (I’m putting together a library for you), but I want full control of how I tell them. Some days, I start thinking and I cannot stop. I generate a character and then an environment. Over the years, it’s grown to be a nurtured habit that I find to be more therapeutic than harmful.

Though I’m an engineer by day, all I want to do is write.

To write, is to purposely step into a void. A void where you weild a totality of power over all elements within its realm. It’s an escape that gives you capabilities that you normally wouldn’t have. You can read the minds of anyone. You can see their motivations, their regrets, their aspirations, the skeletons in their closets. You can make anything happen. You can guide the life of entities, or destroy them at will. You can make an entire world, yet running a comet into it for fun doesn’t seem too evil. Your mind builds the imagery, but your heart runs the show.

There are no consequences, but just a vast number of awards.

Therapy, I tell you. It’s therapy.

So if there is one thing that I can openly promise to anyone who is curious, it’s that I will give this my all. I will pour every ounce of free energy I have into this. There will be ups and downs, ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys, but in the end, it’s the personal aspect of this that makes me churn.

I’ll pour my soul into this. Hopefully, you’ll be there with me to see it.
