No more likes!

I did it again; another video blog. I was a little tired while making this one, so I apologize if I don't seem as cheerful in this one. I hope I don't start going downhill on these.

Something I didn't mention in the vlog is that I may have a connection! I've met someone that is friends with someone who edits for a publishing house. I hope to have good news reguarding this in the future. Have a good week everyone!

P.S. More outtakes.

My adventure begins here and will one day end on the pages in your hands - Andy

Hey Andy, this is my favorite vlog, blog, whatever, lol! I can relate to the whole "like" thing, only with me it'd be "uh" and "um". Blah, I'm tired...haven't been feeling to well.

Anyway, I next want to mention your writing advice, which I must say, ruled! Hearing those few words of advice helped me a lot, I forget to write every night or else I'm tired. But still, like you said, a sentence, a paragraph, a chapter, etc. Every little bit helps. Me, I'm still in the planning stage and mapping out Grim Keep's sequel. I'm off to do more, later man!

haha La-bor-ists? Seriously. I died. haha Andy Schrock we really need to hang out sometime and do that game night you were talking about. I crack up at these video blogs, and you give like, great writing advice.

Um...I hope these are something you continue to do, that way after you're famous everyone can go back to these videos and laugh and find the inspiration they're looking for. If I could give kudos, I would totally give 2.

Andy,

Yet another masterpiece. I thought you were going to play us some music in this one. I feel you on the cell phone issue. Baby slobber and cell phones apparently don't mix. For that matter putting your cell through the washing machine isn't a great idea either. Are you sure your cell didn't get wet? It seems water and cells don't mix.

When you mentioned using the word like and I was afraid you meant you didn't like using it for similies. Then I realized what you meant. To stop myself from using like all the time I forced myself to speak a little slower to give myself time to chew my words for a second longer before I spit them out. I always try to take a deep breath before I start speaking in public also or in your case before you start your blog. Take a deep breath and center your focus.

As far as your writing advise... that is so true! I am following it as of Tuesday of last week when you sent me a message. I wrote five pages in one night thanks to you! Keep up the great work! I cannot wait to buy your books and read them all!
