Always Learning Something New 5/27/2009 4:55:05 PM
Hello,
I had a great experience in the last week. I learned how to create a book trailer using Windows Movie Maker. I want to tell you about it, but I need to back track a bit. I belong to a mastermind group which includes me, two other life coaches, two publicists, and a publisher. The group evolved from all of us getting to know each other through facebook and twitter. There is no fee- we are just six like minded individuals with goals. We meet monthly and set up other calls if we have special projects. The huge benefit is bouncing new creative ideas off each other for feedback. So we had a discussion last week and I made the comment that I wanted to have a book trailer for my book Keys to Living Joyfully. One of our members suggested that I use Windows Movie Maker. I was inspired.I had never used Windows Movie Maker before, but the software was fairly straightforward. The next day, I worked for six hours and had my book trailer. The hardest part was that I listened to probably 100 songs of stock music before purchasing the rights to one that I felt truly merged with my creative ideas.
Okay, so why am I telling all of you this in this blog today? Well, this is how I work. I get inspired and I work immediately on that inspiration. This works for me and I have so much satisfaction when I see projects leap to life. I am wondering what is inspiring you today and how are you going to act on it? I feel so blessed being a part of authorsden with so many talented and creative people acting on their inspirations.
