This has been quite a week as I’ve launched my book. Thanks to everyone who supported this project in any way:
- Watching my virtual book-launch video
- Reading the excerpt
- Sharing the news with someone
- Endorsing the book
- Promoting it within your company or network
- Buying a book in any format
As promised, here is this week’s YouTube reading and free excerpt. Enjoy!
Buddy & Me: The Doughnuts Episode
It’s good to know your work is finding its own reward. To your blog readers who haven’t taken the plunge — It’s a great read!
P.S. Directorial tip: never touch your hair on camera.
Laurna – 🙂 Many thanks for the endorsement and the tip. The darn stuff just falls forward. I need some glue . . .
During my brief career in theatre we used many types of “sky hooks” in this department, short of staples and nails (used in other departments). Hidden hair pins, smoothed-over teasing (back-combing), hairspray, a slight change or addition to the styling are solutions that spring to mind. Maybe that’s why teleprompters were invented: so the actors did not have to bend their heads to read a script. You could post your script “writ large” behind your camera and read without holding your copy. That would also free both hands for dramatic gestures. I wouldn’t want to disturb the “Masterpiece Theater” effect, however.
Laurna – LOL. Boy, it would have to be some-big piece of paper, as Newfoundlanders say. Some big. I suspect a podium might work better but, in truth, I am likely to get all the technical details sorted about the time I finish doing them.
Great stuff, Isabel
I just downloaded a copy onto my Kindle, and will include a blurb about your project in my next week’s blog.
Tom
Tom – Thanks kindly! I appreciate the support.
Congratulations! Perseverance is always needed, and I am glad you are now rewarded. Inspiring!
Judith – Many thanks. I suspect it’s better to have written a book than to be writing one, but a lot of life seems to be like that. 🙂
