The Autumn years of my life have brought a new vigor!
You Must Take Chances in life to reach your goals! I can’t believe I waited until the autumn years of my life to take on risky business! For the first time in my life, I stepped out with a video blog about writing confidence where I had to face the camera and express my feelings in public. That was an exhilarating experience. Oh, how we human being must meet and overcome new challenges. I love the character of Jane Marple from the Agatha Christie Mystery series. Miss Marple said in the book “Of Bertram’s Hotel”, when another character pinned about life changing and not staying the same: “The Essence of life is change.” Wow, that struck me! Now, I’ve developed an interactive website that is linked to SoundCloud, Podomatic and YouTube and other places where you can watch videos with funky music on my podcasts (developed my Donald Moody II), videos and audio readings of certain chapters of Philly Style and Philly Profile. Please click to listen to prologue and chapter 23. I was nervous with the Video Blog but I’m receiving and positive recognition on YouTube. Please click to watch the Video Blog!. Now, with this new 21st Century Website, with all the flash, colorful images and sounds, it’s enough to drive a person out of middle age. I feel this is the next step in the marketing of my books: A Brownstone in Brooklyn, Philly Style and Philly Profile, the National Award winning Ghost of Atlanta, Purple Phantoms and Stormy Winds!, my current book that is under construction. Please click to visit the my J.E.Thompson Books Website! I remember what Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” You better believe I’m scared! However, that is what life is about: Growth and Change and Ultimate Success! Enjoy my new website 21st Century Website.
You certainly have "grabbed the bull by the horns." I've always liked new things, but much of the Internet hype and social media stuff is not promotion… It's a time waster. And, if you spend money to have it done, it can be costly. A blog is not in me. But, it looks like you have good help so that all you have to do is content and your help takes over getting it out there. More power to you.
Sound advice! While I haven't forayed into the video and podcast scenario, each day I'm embarking along my journey to become more visible as a writer. Best wishes with your daily ventures.
