August Already?

I had ideas. I had plans. Things that were going to ready and on Amazon by August.

Reality has gotten in my way.

Again.

Anybody else?

How Is Your Confinement Going?

-
Image
For me, aside from fewer visitors, it is life as normal. I'm home in my command chair, on the computer with PBS or YouTube in the background. Sometimes I'll watch a show on Netflix, but not often. The second season of Altered Carbon has been a slow building fireball. As I type I am watching Blood Sugar Rising on PBS - an excellent documentary on the rise of diabetes in this country (and the results). But I continue working on the juggle. As I've said before, I use the juggle to keep from going into another multi-year "writer's block" and remain productive. It results in a sudden burst of releases as things ripen together. Kind of like an orchard, when the fruit comes ready for picking. Light, Slenderella cover LIGHT This will be the most political novel I've written. More on the lines of my 1984. Like , it demands my time, dictates new scenes. To this point I have not given the lead character a name. It has been told from a personal, third perso...

Life in Solitary (Full Report)

(I found this under "drafts" from the beginning of the confinement. I decided to post it, despite being over a week late.) I'm trying to get rolling for production. The Confinement has me living in solitarty and getting judgemental a**ho**s judging my reaction to it. The Lockdown is not really any different to me.

And they stopped appearing long before the threat of plague was on the horizon. i have someone who bring by groceries, once a week, spends 10 minutes talking and is sometimes back for a quick visit. it doesn't equal the "hour in the yard" and interaction with food delivery to a cell in real prison solitary. A friend had two of his sons come over to spend the night, twice in two weeks. They help with chores aro...

The Right Move

-
Every so often you make the right move. It feels nice. I've known for a long time that the future of the MDJS project would be in video for YouTube and beyond. I know how to use iMovie, but it really isn't the right tool for what I want to do. Simple, but by definition it doesn't live up to the effects of what I see in my mind as the right path to take. I was getting competent with Premiere, but no longer have access to the program. For a while it appeard that Edenlive would be the right program, but I have complications with my Linux access and it doesn't have a Mac port for me to use (I don't know how to complie). I've been looking at variious editors, trying them out, leaving them for one problem or another. A new review of modern video editing programs hit my in box and so I look at it And immediately was drawn to one video editor that has a free entry version that is not a free, limited preview. This is the full program, functional with many featu...
