Marching Forward

Time flies! I hate that expression! Mostly because these days it seems to be true.

The third month of 2026 and where the hell are my wheelbarrows filled with money?

Huh? Where?

Oh, it's the year of the Fire Horse and everything is going to get magically better! Abundance and prosperity and the praise and credit I have long deserved.

Ya, and pigs can fly!

With Ai's help they can and I'm sure Bill Gates is hunkered down in a lab somewhere in Africa splicing genes like a mad fool - weaponizing said flying pigs!

Is it really that bad?

No, of course not. I'm just pissed that I've got all kinds of administration tasks to get done concerning my impending book launch, album launch and the next session of my script course. Creative people love doing admin - said no one ever! Never ever ever!!!!!!

Progress, progress.

Things are getting done and it's all falling into place.

Book Update:

I just need to upload to KDP and Ingram Sparks and then plug in all the descriptive keywords.

Besides that it's just advertising and some final proof reading. I was a bit stymied concerning the descriptive keywords as its super important and can really affect sales. As you know, I'm a learn it and do it myself kind of guy, so I began exploring specific software to come up wth the keywords. Most programs like Publisher Rocket and Helium 10 have free versions but very limited search options. The first level of purchase plans start at $200 US. I thought this hard to justify, since I might use it once a year for an hour.

So, I bit the bullet and hired some dude from Fiverr in Morocco. It's due tomorrow so at present I can't tell you if I'm a happy customer or not. I better be though or I'll be on the first plane to Morocco to kick some keyword ass and get my 30 bucks back!!! LOL

Music Album Update:

I'm about halfway through the mastering process and should be done soon. Just got my ISRC codes for my songs and the upcoming music video. Cover done and lyrics and info package just need a little finese. After that upload and advertising and off I go. I know you're dying to know more and get a sneak peek but be patient - all good things are coming.

Script Writing Course Update:

The next session begins May 01, 2026 and I will begin the next advertising campaign shortly.

Interestingly enough, leading up to the previous session I had a TROLL spout on about how nobody sells scripts and no one makes money and boo hoo. Obviously, MR.TROLL isn't selling many scripts jerking off to porn in his mother's converted basement and bravely slagging everyone else from the safety of internet anonymity.

I don't make any promises in my course and no where in my advertising and course material do I promise that you'll sell your script or make money. My course is designed for first timers to write their first short film script and learn all about the process and industry.

Here's the course link if you're interested...https://scriptwriting-for-aspiring-writers-333e.thinkific.com/products/courses/scriptwriting

And that's it, you are up to date.

For me, this is just the calm before the storm as April will be advertising-o-rama time for me.

The May 01 everything drops! WOOHOO!
