YouTube

Wouldn’t it be nice if I had a YouTube presence?

Currently am working on just that - the beginning of a series of very short - maybe 1-3 minute-long YouTube videos. A technical wizard by the name of Phi - phiARCHITECT.com - is making it all possible.

The contents of these first videos will be my current query letter for Lostine, along with about half a dozen excerpts from the novel of the same title.

Over time, looking at Lostine from a lot of angles, I have learned that what sets this story apart is the voice of the narrator. What we will be doing with the current crop of videos is just me reading key samples of the M/S - but short, very short.

I am finding that recording videos of myself, I have to be at least as reckless as I was when I first wrote Lostine. Phi keeps emphasizing the importance of being earnestly myself.
