Technology - you gotta love it...

"The more a man writes, the more he can write" - Amos Bronson Alcott

Ah so true.  In fact we have found that in all creative walks of life.  On music, people ask me that whilst song writing I must surely run out of ideas, rather than understanding that once I am in the creative flow the ideas come thick and fast.  If only they knew that the problems only arise when I stop - getting started again is the hardest thing.

Getting started is the hardest thing...

And that is where we are now - trying to get our new platform started.  All the concept and idea is there, we're just continually pushing and waiting for the web designers to catch up.  And catch up is what they've nearly done but just not in time for 1st September.... so reluctantly we have had to delay the unveiling, hold back on the fanfare and stall the release until 1st October.

Yes it will be worth it.  In fact it will be better than we were originally thinking.  "The Greatest Story Ever Told" - sounds good doesn't it.  Want to be part of it?....

The future is bright - the future is bedlam

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" - Stuart Spicer

And so the days turn into weeks... spring turns into summer... and the ticking of the clock inexorably goes on...  Our project; the platform of possibility, is now beginning to take shape - but what is it exactly?

Well due to strict confidentiality policy we are unable to tell you and reveal all for a short while longer.  What we can say is this;

  • Imagine a place where the realms of possibility are only restricted by the limits of your imagination
  • A place where your idea may not be just an idea but THE idea
  • Where the sum of a whole is far greater than any individual part
  • Where the world finally unites as one

Hold the line, stay with us... 25 days to go...

Making friends and influencing people

"Ability is of little account without opportunity" - Napoleon Bonaparte

So here we are at the start of August.  For many that means summer holidays but for us it means that it's the countdown to 1st September 2011.  31 days until we unveil our new platform and offer our subscribers an incredible opportunity.  So for now we are busy designing and refining our website to make sure that it delivers everything that we will be offering.

In the meantime we have been busy making contact with numerous writers via Twitter (@bedlam_media) and will be updating our progress more and more up until launch on there.  We have met some very talented and entertaining literary folk this way and look forward to meeting many more so spread the word!  At launch all we will ask you to do is to have a look at our website and, if you like the platform, get involved and re-tweet it to your followers.

Our PR company are also busy writing the various press-packs.  The project is very media-friendly so we are expecting a lot of publicity so when it hits the headlines you'll already be in the know!

Stay tuned - there's nothing out there quite like it...

The start of a new era?

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life and I'm feeling good" - Nina Simone, 1965.

Bedlam Media - what does that mean to you?  Maddening chaos?  Probably...  To us it is an umbrella covering and protecting our ideas and promoting yours.  It's not a name that you have probably heard of yet but believe us you will.  We are in the process of putting together one of the most innovative, forward thinking platforms the creative world has seen.

The process has been quick; from initial concept to formulative design, recruitment of IT and PR solutions.  As of today we are tentatively waiting for stage two of the web design (scheduled by 29th July) with the first draft completed by 19th August.  Our focus group will then pull the design to pieces before it being re-built in time for launch on 1st September 2011.  A tall order?  Maybe... Delays are possible, potentially inevitable but without the drive of a deadline most fall short.

And that is all that can be said for today.  The waiting will soon be over and the grand unveiling will soon commence.  Buckle up, free your mind and brace yourself - the show starts in 42 days...
