When the Hammer Strikes
One of the interesting skills I've picked up recently was learning how to make book trailers. So far, I've made two: One to promote my Violetwar.com website available as the book trailer for Argentum. The second trailer is for author Paul Genesse. You can watch the book trailer for The Dragon Hunters on YouTube!. Today, I'm putting together the trailer for "Buried Tales" as a way to help out.
Needless to say, I took a bit of a mental break in June. I've been doing some content consulting work in addition to my day job, and while I have no complaints about either I'm learning the fine art of saying "No." I love helping people, and I have no problem doing some things for free, but now I'm to the point where time is becoming a precious commodity. It'd be different if I didn't have a day job, but as every writer knows -- if you want to get anywhere as an author you need to keep on writing.
I'm very happy with the connections I've made and the invitations I've received to do more fiction; while it's too premature to say anything just yet I feel like I'm spreading my wings. Not sure where the winds will take me, but I'm okay with wherever they do. I'm trying, and that's all that matters to me.
