Marketing, Transcribing, Life, Youtube, and 2024
Hi all, just an update on current activities and plans.
> Focus has been on *marketing* the three books since the 3rd publication. Learning metrics, statistics, and performance indicators, all on a low monthly budget.
> Some progress on transcribing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light from paper to online Vella but the more I look at the work, the more I realize the book is going to need a LOT of 'finishing'. As my first writing, I have since learned a bit about descriptions, reader engagement, titles, and editing. Hoping to finish this year.
> Real life work & activity. Employment is paramount to survival, summertime means visiting family, and friends, and enjoying the outdoors.
> YouTube project. In addition to interviews, I'm also expanding by uploading classic audiobooks, obscure music, and informational blurbs. YouTube is a fun toy.
> 2024 should bring about some new titles as previously mentioned or expand on current titles. I am admittedly shying away from expanding X or Psycho Author even though it would be easiest to do so because I'm still curious about breadth rather than depth, but wouldn't deny if there's a demand otherwise.
If anyone would like to talk about these, ask questions, or provide comments, always welcome! Or, if there's a complete topic about other stories you'd like to bring up, by all means, feel free.

Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light phase 1 done!
Completed transcribing and re-writing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light. I had no 'saved file' for the printouts, so I needed to type all the text in. Word count over 48,000 spanning 60 episodes on Vella. Next is the series of editing: grammar, texture, refinements. Going to call this "on target" for end-of-month publishing.
