The ramblings and musings of Nancie Neal
I finally finished the edits to “The Gathering.” My daughter is currently working on the cover, and I’m taking a couple of days off before rereading it to do another slew of minor edits before formatting it.
Remember when a week seemed like forever? We are already at the end of the first month of the year and I’ll only have “The Gathering” ready for publishing.
Fortunately, the followup stories are going to be less than 6,000 words. The goal will be to publish at least once a month.
It seems to happen consistently. The beginning of the year, and an illness takes hold, making me postpone everything I wanted to start, including recording a video a day…
Except that’s not the real reason I stopped two videos in. I’m too much of a perfectionist and I haven’t found a decent video recorder that would limit the amount of editing I have to do later.
TikTok, an app that I don’t care for in general, has a great in-app video recorder/editor. It allows you to not only pause the video, but to delete that last clip. If you were following a script or had a tendency to stumble over your words, you can easily delete that scene and try again.
At one time, there was a third-party stand-alone video recorder that worked similar to TikTok, but then they removed that feature.
So, I’m on the hunt for another app that works, but my goal is within a month or so, I’ll start posting short videos again.
