Saw this and knew the message was meant for me.

An everyday story of ordinary folk!?

[irontree @IrontreeMedia]

@TheMagsterChap Yep, July 1969 (after Star Trek, 'Where no man has been before')... it didn't work, sadly.

@Sally_writes I can empathise... we have a year-old lab who is equally 'brave' in new situations. He had to sleep on the bed last night because of the lightning!

The #1 killer of writing projects is abandonment?
Yes/No?
I'm looking for authors who feel the same -> https://t.co/Sk8ffk6bPJ

Okay, love the weather... but struggling to do anything purposeful today!

Physical media is the way to go. Maintain your own library, not one that can close at any time if Netflix hit the button.

Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media:

“You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.”

Do you still get real books and DVDs?

Rediscovering P.G. Wodehouse after so many years away and I’d forgotten just how sharp and joyful the writing is. If you’ve revisited an old favourite lately, who was it and how did it hold up?

Puts it all in perspective.

Has anyone else sat down to watch the, highly rated, "Widow's Bay"... and not enjoyed it at all? Or, is that just me?

It's not a massive, ornate iron gate.

It's an optical illusion staircase by Spanish visual artist Gonzalo Borondo, chosen as the best urban artwork in France.

New blog post for Sunday... honestly considering that perennial question: "Are Book Trailers Actually Worth the Investment for Authors?"

@TheMagsterChap Thanks, a few days ago I really wasn't sure I'd be able to switch to new software (my age and steep learning curves don't mix too well)... but I'm coping!

[irontree @IrontreeMedia]

"But will my trailer still look professional?"
More than professional. My creative toolbox just got bigger.
New software doesn't mean starting over. It means everything I've learned about pacing, storytelling, and hooking a reader in 60 seconds; now with better tools.

[irontree @IrontreeMedia]

I've made author book trailers on Adobe software for years.
I just switched to DaVinci Resolve... and honestly?
Your next trailer is about to look completely different. 😀Here's why that's a GOOD thing:

[irontree @IrontreeMedia]

Then there's Fusion for visual effects.
Particle effects for fantasy. Glitch transitions for sci-fi. Cinematic text reveals for literary fiction.
Things that used to mean juggling multiple Adobe apps now happen in one place.

@AndrewOrlowski Oh, as a youth I spent so much time with "Magnets, Bulbs and Batteries"... fond memories😀

@For_Film_Fans Loved this, slightly raw, version. Note the use of a very boring font here too!
