Stepping Up My Game

Written By Jerrimiah Stonecastle

So I wanted to be an Indie Author...well surprise surprise (Gomer Pyle tone) There is a lot more to it than just writing the book. I thought that was the hard part.

Of course, I've taken all the suggestion from authors who have traversed these waters before me, but there always seems to be something knew to learn every day.

I wanted to start doing more videos on my YouTube Channel. I was wondering why mine looked so crappy compared to the other folks. Well it's because I realized my webcam was over 10 years and possibly 15 years old (No wonder updates couldn't be found in Windows 10).

So besides keeping up with my social media (twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, LinkedIn, email, and my website/blog, I needed to up my channel. One YouTuber suggested 2 to 3 videos a week. I'm going to take it slow and just do one a week.

And now that I purchased my new Logitech C920s Pro HD Webcam I can make clear videos. Paired with my BM800 microphone my videos have and will definitely move up to the next level.

Stay tuned as we're...
