Monster Blog post!
Early Warning, this is going to be a long one folks.
So long, that I am putting a "directory" here beforehand on what I'm talking about
1. The Trip! My trip to Cincinnati
2. Writing! Major changes, and a new project, plus NaNoWriMo talk
3. Youtube! Increasing hits, contests, vlogging, and my original channel
Lots to cover, because all of these things could be a blog post by themselves.
1. The Trip! My Trip to Cincinnati
So, last Thursday I went to Cincinnati for a HUGE Homeschool Conference, as most of you know. Me and the other 5 members of my immediate family packed ourselves into our minivan and drove 7 hours to Cincinnati. We had tons of fun and learned a lot, I won't bore you with a blow by blow. But remember that I am a writer and I tend to go off on whims...
Back on track, the conference was in a huge convention center downtown, and it started Thursday afternoon and ended Saturday night. Oh, and before I forget, I should mention the time change. There is 1 hour difference. Not that much of a change, except for when you have to get up at 6 A.M. meaning it feels like 5 every morning.
You people who know me in real life (and most of my online buddies) know that I have a touch of insomnia issues, and thus 7 A.M. is really pushing it for me. So yeah, 5 was miserable. Luckily there was coffee.
To cut down on blogspace, I am going to give my top 3 things of my trip.
3. The Cubs game. Sunday we went to the Cubs/Reds Game. I got a sunburn and we got overpriced hot dogs, but it was my first game in about 5 years, and the first time all 6 of us went to a game together.
2. Victoria Kasten. She is a homeschooled self published author who I had the privilege to listen to speak, and later meet. I learned alot from her, and she was the 2nd author that I have met now. I was also able to get a signed copy of her book Ironheart, which I am not quite done with just yet.
and nubero uno is...
1. Tim Hawkins. For those of you who don't know, Tim is a Christian Comedian, and he had me laughing hard!
That covers most of the conference. The good parts anyway.
OK. Writing. Have a big topic.
Here is my big news. I am not working on The Witness anymore. Not forever, but I am taking a few steps back. Putting it on the shelf to let it and me breathe.
What does this mean for JuNoWriMo? I don't know. It is already being moved back to July if I keep it at all. A new project has been presented to me and I am using it to get into the habit of writing everyday, and letting go while I write. No restrictions, and especially in this, I will write graphically if the scene is presented. I avoided that in the Witness and as a result half the people who read it do not understand what happened to Jules.
The Binder will continue its rounds. And I will continue the questioning however I will not act on recommended changes.
Instead I am working on something new. Because I had an idea.
90% of you just said "uh oh." That's ok. I did too.
I had one of those dreams where I woke up and said, "That's a great idea!" and then wrote it onto paper in the dark and then fell back asleep. The next morning I forgot most of my dream, save for a few random parts and don't understand half of what I wrote down.
But then when I went to the convention center I combined my dream with the setting of the convention center and BOOM! Two days later I have 20 written pages.
So I am working on that.
S'all for now because I am tired. I will post a part 2 of sorts tomorrow.
