Today is the second Wednesday
of the month, which makes it Indie time. To me, Indie means all things unique
and different. Want to publish only ebooks? Fine. Want your novels to be under
30,000 words? No problem. Want your chapters to all be a single page (I
silently raise my hand)? Go for it. But that’s just formatting, nuts and bolts
type of things. The spirit of Indie goes way beyond that. Who says a book has
to be a book at all? Why can’t it be a Youtube video? People have that app on
their devices same as they have Nook or Kindle. Truly, in this age there are no
rules. In the spirit of that, I’m announcing that a short story of mine will be
released on Youtube in January, storytelling style. I’ll be posting more
details as the time gets closer.
Indie means the
freedom to be creative. And when you’re basking in that, great things can
happen.

I'd take a book as an app!
ReplyDeleteIndie definitely gives us a ton of freedom. I love your idea about telling a story via Youtube. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really interesting project for January. You'll be a groundbreaker.
ReplyDeleteInnovative way to do a book - good for you!
ReplyDeleteRemember "Choose Your Own Adventure" books? Someone may have come up with this, but wouldn't that be a great idea for an app? A book that people can navigate around by clicking links?
ReplyDeleteI do, and you're right--that would be perfect!
DeleteI can't wait! I love Youtube. Wishing you lots of fun with that and look forward to joining you in January. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds exciting. Look forward to seeing it.
