Tellest is the kind of world that can\u2019t be run by one person alone.\u00a0 While I create the majority of the content, I don\u2019t have the finesse or patience to create any of the art with any level of professionalism.\u00a0 I really am quite terrible at programming and web design.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to think that I have a decent voice, but not the studio to perform my own voice work.\u00a0 And as the world continues to evolve and grow, I can no longer be the only writer for the series.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve mentioned before that the world is getting bigger.\u00a0 As such, we\u2019re going to start to prove that in September.\u00a0 The first story that was not written by me will be published.\u00a0 We\u2019ll also, hopefully, start to see some more content that I\u2019d like to call Guest Wednesdays.\u00a0 You might get a blog, or you might get an encyclopedia entry, but I want Tellest to be a consistently growing place (and website).<\/p>\n
Over the next few weeks or so, I\u2019d like to introduce you to the team members that I\u2019ve had the privilege to work alongside over these past three years.\u00a0 Today though, I\u2019ll tell you a little bit more about me<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Hey, I\u2019m Michael DeAngelo, and I\u2019ve got more ambition than I know what to do with.\u00a0 When I was seven or eight years old, I determined right then and there that I wanted to be a \u201csoftware engineer\u201d \u2013 that was my pretentious way of saying that I wanted to make videogames.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always created worlds in my head or on paper.\u00a0 I remember going through school with massive pads of graph paper and making labyrinths for RPGs that never saw the light of day.\u00a0 I created sprawling game worlds that never really took off because I instantly gravitated to the next thing.<\/p>\n
It never occurred to me that writing was something that I could ever be good at.\u00a0 Even if you\u2019re one of the people who think that my last statement might be true, the Tellest series has grown to be something that I can\u2019t leave behind.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen tons of people try their hands at penning a novel \u2013 sometimes it\u2019s because they want to try and get an unexpected paycheck.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s because they\u2019re bored.\u00a0 Ultimately, if and when sales are poor or reviews are worse, there is a part of them that burns up and cracks, blowing away like ashes on the cherry of a cigarette.<\/p>\n
For me, the Tellest books are almost like people I\u2019ve met.\u00a0 I like to think of the novels that I\u2019ve written (or am in the process of writing) as stories that have already been told, but only to me.\u00a0 It\u2019s my duty to tell these tales, even if only a handful of people enjoy reading them.<\/p>\n
Some of the things I\u2019d like to do with the Tellest books include, but are not limited to, an audiobook, a graphic novel, a slew of videogames, and a foothold in Japan (Tellest as an anime? Come on. \u00a0That would rock!).<\/p>\n
Over the next few months, you might find a lot of a new content on this website, and releasing on Amazon.\u00a0 That\u2019s because, though I\u2019ve been doing this for a long while, every day I become more enthralled by this world.\u00a0 Every new idea that crosses my mind makes me that much more excited to be adding to the Tellest universe.<\/p>\n
Be on the lookout for the profiles of the other Tellest team members in the near future.\u00a0 I work with a great team, and I will be proud to introduce them to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
