In 2021 I tried to set up a Youtube channel to review books and movies. I enjoyed it but then established my blog and that took over. I wasn’t sure what I was doing on Youtube and found it hard to get interactions. Nevertheless I really loved sharing my reviews and interacting with the comments.
So I decided to start again but slower this time…
Me reviewing Different Class
Anyway, I thought I would provide a link on the blog in case you had three minutes and wanted to check out my review or drop a subscribe and make my day.
Thank you for listening to my ramblings. If you prefer blog content, perhaps follow this blog.
Having just returned to Youtube after eight months off, I decided that I would put less videos of me talking on and try producing more Youtube shorts instead (or as well as). I like short books and short videos after all, so this new type of Youtube content seemed right up my street.
Originally I found making longer videos time consuming but shorts are easy to make and can be fun. I collected some snippets of video that I had taken on holidays and some that are about books, then I added some music or my own narration.
I don’t know whether they are any good but I really am enjoying playing around with this type of content. My limitations at the moment stem from my lack of experience with editing. Hopefully I will find better methods over time without having to subscribe to expensive video editing sites.
Youtube Shorts
I think that eventually these short videos will be an easy way to let people know what you are working on and draw attention to your writing projects. If you haven’t already, take time to check some of the interesting short content available. I especially love the fact ones, where they spill random facts about a particular place or subject.
Edinbugh Castle inspired my first ‘Facts About’ Youtube Short.
My eventual aim is to take my readers on journeys with me and explore my love of reading. This video celebrates a street that I discovered in Edinburgh which inspired J K to come up with Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books.
Thank you so much for reading my article about creating Youtube shorts. If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on this or wants me to explain more about shorts please let me know in the comments. It is fair to say that I am slightly addicted to exploring this format.
I thought that I would write a little Easter poem to get everybody in the mood.
Nearly Easter
Almost here
Plenty to do
This time of year.
Lots of chocolate
All around
People hunting
On the ground.
Looking for eggs
Bunnies and sweets
Easter is full
Of super sweet treats.
Easter holidays
Time for a rest
Be good to yourself
Live life to your best!
I woke up this morning thinking about having two weeks off in the run up to Easter. This brief poem sums up my newfound optimism. Tomorrow I am going to Edinburgh to get myself in the mood for a year of adventure, after two years of not really going anywhere.
I hope that everyone has some restful plans this Easter. Hopefully we have turned a corner and things are looking up. For a previous, more thought-provoking poem of mine check out We need a world poem.
Happy Easter! Thank you for taking the time to read my Easter poem. Please follow my blog for future similar content.
