So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment?

Yeah, it be like that for some people.

LOL!

@AMMeyers I think you should see this.

I need a dermatologist and because I never had one, that should be a new experience for me.

Has to be more exciting than turtle racing…

Well, it’s obvious it would, since it has such a slow start.
Can’t expect them to win by a hare, right?

I didn’t know Julio used Max to race on.

I finished Part 1 of Chapter 0 for Project Heir and Knight.

Somehow, I knew going this route, in terms of story format would be better for me and I am glad that I was correct in that regard.

If I’m not on much tomorrow, or at all, the power has went out. Having another storm here.

Project Heir and Knight is going in different direction than what I had planned for it. I’m not even on chapter 1, part 1 yet, and the story is turning into some mystery for the prologue (chapter 0). The story might end up becoming some action/adventure/mystery thriller set in a futuristic magical world, revolving around people entering the world of Knighthood.

That happened a little when I was writing The House of Naivin too! Maybe I do better when with my stories when I go in a totally different direction then intended. I did the same with my short story Inside the Chaos too!

I’m not mad, just making an observation.
The title will need to change as well!

Yeah, the book rant video I didn’t mean it to be so long. It happened that way :stuck_out_tongue: I really only planned to say what was on the slides which was supposed to be quick and sweet, but I ended up saying so much more XD I really thought it would be a 30-min video. Since I don’t edit anything and can’t hire anyone, and will certainly not record it again, you get raw unedited audio :wink:

Given the chance, I talk too much because I don’t talk to people daily XD It’s like it gets all pent up.

I hadn’t really thought about what I wanted to do with the book content to be honest, but I do want to make more extensive reviews (extensive as in, longer than my IG post reviews) on books I still have and that I actually like. These will probably be one book at time, so like the suggestion you gave. Maybe a video titled, ā€œReview of Sadie by Courtney Summers, and why this book is so realā€ for example. Not a real title, but a thought :wink:

As for upload schedule, I can only find the window to record once a week if I’m lucky, sometimes only once a month, because I can only find limited time to make the slides and videos aren’t a priority for me.

I’m also not doing this to become a YouTuber. It’s just that I have things I want to share, and if people find it and enjoy it, too, well, that’s a plus :wink: But thanks for the suggestion to tackle the algorithm. Personally, I’m not worried about the algorithm on YouTube. The one I do think about is IG.

As for length, I think that if the person is interested, they will have it on in the background and end up ā€œwatchingā€ the whole video. So, it’s fine if long content isn’t your or their cup of tea :grin:

Like @J.L.O said, I like long stuff on in the background.

Totally different from my mom though. She can hardly stand videos longer than 5 min. She hates YouTubers who do introductions and always skips through them :sweat_smile:

I’ve actually tried the shorter, excited YouTuber style, the ā€œI’m NoT LiKe OthEr GiRLsā€ style… and felt like it was a chore. So, I decided I’ll make videos in a way that I enjoy making them. I’ll talk a lot. Even pause and maybe forget my words. I’ll talk about books and writing. I won’t do trends. I won’t script (if I ever do, it’ll be minimally), and I won’t edit, or care about length.

Video editing, I just… I envy people who enjoy it. If I can hire someone, I would, but I don’t have the money for that :sweat_smile:

Maybe this isn’t going to be a sustainable side job. Maybe I’ll just be another small creator in the corner of the YouTube sphere. If the algorithm never picks me up, I’m fine with that :blush:

I am done with part 2 in chapter 1!
I finished at 3,654 words. I am so tired.
I need to stand from sitting too long.

Is this a collaboration or something?

I haven’t watched the whole thing but I think that the sound and scripting were very well done. I don’t mind length, I need someone on in the background when I draw this isn’t some sort of music sometimes. But that is just my taste. I think I’m around Akje’s age as well.
