Starting with the premise of putting as little time as possible into it, it continued much more difficult than imagined. Little time remained for me to write. Rather than spend most of the time editing with do-overs and jump cuts, I just would go completely through a session with no stops. Much like talking to someone. Then I picked the best of the two or three. That was it, but still required a lot of time. My hat is off to those who are successful as podcasters.
Also, this time last year, a novel was started. It centered around the time I worked at a state hospital for the criminally insane (a term no longer used). It became personal and emotionally taxing. I sputtered. Suddenly another idea for a novel sprung up, and off I go in another direction. What occurred? Two other novels—one published and the other going through a rewrite at the moment.
What this all means, if you’re still with me, is that little attention has been given to the Jittery Goat website or YouTube channel. As a strategy for growing an audience—it’s not.
My feelings were, there are enough short stories, excerpts, and vignettes to keep a reader interested. Again, not a great strategy for growth, but this is a one-man show, and one man can only wear one hat at a time; otherwise, you look silly.
Ciao, or is it chow?
