Time Travel

Gosh!  If all goes well, you’ll know about this long before you read it here.  If this is the first you’ve heard of it, then something has gone terribly wrong!


Travel back in time, about two months ago… to a chilly Sunday night in December — December 12, 2010… to be exact.

That’s when I’m actually writing this entry.  This won’t be scheduled to post until sometime in February, 2011. 

That’s how far ahead of schedule I am with blogging… or said differently… this is how obsessed and compulsive I am about keeping this project moving forward into the future…

Anyway… writing ahead of schedule is working fine for me.  It allows me to write as often as I want; and it adds some buffer for me for the weeks I don’t feel like writing as often.  There’s no pressure in following a three-times-a-week schedule…

Although it’s a bit like living in two time-zones — months apart — it has been working really well for me, until tonight…

Tonight, my two worlds are colliding.

I want to tell you that Katherine opened a YouTube channel for us.  You can find us on the YouTube website.  Just type in… 2AspiringAuthors (using no spaces)… in YouTube's search engine, and our videos should come up for you.

On the other hand, I’m hoping that you came across the 2AspiringAuthors channel, back in December, when we first posted to it.  I’m hoping that, in December, we announced it on our Facebook accounts…and our friends shared it with their friends and their friends passed it on and on and on…

So, I’m hoping that this isn’t really news to you…

Anyway, I can’t see into the future, so I just have to ask you to travel back in time with me…

This all started back a couple of months ago.  Katherine thought that if we could make some audio clips from our books, then we could share them with others through this blog… and maybe… just maybe… that would generate some interest and support in getting us published… or at least someone might tell someone who might tell someone… who might know someone who had connections with a publisher…

Also, creating audio clips and figuring out how to convert them to video and posting them to YouTube… all that would give me something new and creative to keep me entertained… for a little while, at least.

So, that’s what we’re doing.  Katherine’s the orator, so she’s planning to tape the pieces, and probably replace my audio clips with hers… but in the meantime, I’m fooling around with it… seeing if I can do it and seeing how it all works.    

I really like the creativeness of adding pictures to the readings.  It adds so much to the text… giving the book even more emotion and life.  I’m really excited about it.

So, yeah… even if it doesn’t go anywhere, I’m learning a lot and having fun with it…

Check them out when you have a couple of minutes.  They're pretty short.  Here's one of my favorites.  It asks the age-old question:  How does one regain trust, once it is lost?
