Long Time No Post

 

Sorry folks, it has been all too long since I last blogged. 

But, truth is, vlogging and creating videos on  YouTube has taken up the time I would normally be spending blogging here.  It has been tough, actually, as I can't seem to get the hang of how to create views.  I see so many videos with 1000, 10000, 100 000 and more views, with crap content, and wonder what I am doing wrong. 

I am not saying my content is "top quality", but when there are videos of people popping their pimples getting a million views, you have to wonder what the heck is going on when your video gets only 20 views.

It is a strange beast, YouTube. 

The best way to keep up with what has been going on, frankly, is my YouTube.

I will try to blog some over the next while, though I have several projects on the go, not the least of which is the day to day struggle of making a living.  I have a book I really need to get back to writing, on the mysterious man known as "The Mad Trapper Of Rat River", aka Albert Johnson. I do have a FB page about my work on that

I also want to get working on a movie/cable TV miniseries idea I have about an antiques dealer, sort of a twisted cross between American Pickers & Breaking Bad. Not so sure how to get started, aside from just writing the story itself, and perhaps publishing it as a book, and hoping a production company wants to do something with it. I have lots of jottings about/on unique characters, ideas, twists, curves and surprises. I suppose I could just write it in a screenplay format, though there is a learning curve there. I imagine it as a screenplay, so that might be the way to go. Still undecided, though I was going to tie into it this evening, but ended up working on this blog posting instead.  Anyone know of a production company looking for unique ideas and would be interested in an elevator pitch? 

Anyway, this posting is starting to get long, so will cut it off there. I do recommend you subscribe to my YouTube channel, and catch up on what is going on currently.
