New Youtube video: Reading Vlog

 I started making Youtube videos to share my small bookstore and share my love for books. I hope to have my own books published, and to focus on writing careers. I've been listening to Stephen King's On Writing on audio book, and it's narrated by the King himself. It inspired me to look for jobs at the newspaper, and I got as far as an interview but never heard back from the media group who owns the paper, even though he was impressed with my resume. 


My Youtube channel currently only has 57 subscribers. I was hoping to have 100 by now, but that's okay. This video I just put up already has 33 views! It's my best performing video so far, which is not saying much. All my previous videos are not cinematic quality. I worked on this video for a week and produced a good, precise 10 minute Reading Vlog. It was fun recording my process for my first Ann Rule book, and I think I'll do another one reading her for a week.
