Blog 6! The Friday Edition!

Hello everybody and welcome to the Friday edition of the Terraverse Blog!


This shall be a short one for today I've just got some housekeeping to go over and then we can close up shop for the day.

To start off, I hope you guys had a good week. Are you ready for the weekend?! 

This week has been filled with all sorts of things. I posted my very first vlog (You don't get to see my face just yet, folks. But I have one of my hands!) 

If you'd like to take a look at my vlog. You can find it right here:

While you're at it, I'd really appreciate a subscribe to the channel for it really helps us out.

I can't stress it enough. Support for us basically equals better quality for future content. That's about as simple as I can put it. Most of the money is going to be going into better equipment, better software, new computers to run said software and just an overall better experience. 

Rome wasn't built on dreams alone. It needed investors and an army! 

But enough of that. 


Vlog Talk and Confession:

Let's talk about the vlog. I show only my hands in it so I don't know how some of you might feel about that. It's a bit longer than what I'd like to see but I basically had two parts to that vlog. The first is my introducing you to this new style and the second is the first 'review' of sorts. 

All of these reviews will be mainly discussion based with no actual footage taken from the product due to it being copyrighted. There's a long wormhole of red tape and regulations that needs to be done before I can LEGALLY put all of that stuff up, despite these videos being used for noncommercial purposes. 

The first one AGAIN has that annoying background noise playing! You must forgive that. I can't remove that when recording video and audio. When it's audio only Audacity can remove it. 

The next one? The next one will be better. All I need to do is turn everything but my voice and the PC off! Haha! Yes! Yes. We'll do that. 

No, no but what I will confess is that I suffer Tinnitus in my left ear and must have some form of noise going on at all times in order to cancel the sound out. That is why you hear what you hear because silence will cause the roar in my head to intensify. 

But I DO have an idea. I can use an earbud playing classical music (I hear it can help mask it for a time) in my left ear off of my ipod while I do my vlogs. That way I can turn off the sound machines and any other external noise so we can keep this looking professional. 

So! At least the mystery of the crickets has been solved! 

I hope you can understand my predicament. You think those crickets are annoying? Imagine a sound that goes on and on in your head nonstop that fluctuates in pitch and volume at completely random times that you can't control. 

Imagine this type of horror NOT HAVING AN OFF SWITCH. That is what I have to deal with everyday, possibly for the rest of my life until a cure is found. 

No wonder I'm crazy, right? Fun fact. If you go COMPLETELY DEAF. You'll still hear tinnitus. And you won't be able to mask it with white noise! Now THAT will be true torture. 

Next Week: 

Next week I'm going to try dedicating almost ENTIRELY to writing the next book. I have a goal of 80 pages to do. Once I do all 80 pages. The book should be ready for editing. I just have to write the end sections. 

I'm moving slow through this one because I don't want to make as many mistakes as I did in the first one. As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. Especially if you put Tar on the bottom of your opponents' shoes so they can't move whilst you walk happily and slow as you like through the course and win the race! 

No, no. But we'll be getting content up and ready soon. What about a paperback cover? I'll be working on the back-cover blurb over the course of this month and I should have a cover ready for you before March. 

Expect Book 2 to be out sometime before April. That much I can... ALMOST guarantee. 

Big Thanks to all of you guys who supported me by getting a copy of the book this week. You guys are AMAZING. 

It's because of you guys that I'm able to keep doing this. I mean it. It really helps me out. 

Until next week, guys. 

Podcast next week, too! That's some good stuff! 

Take care and Keep on Keeping On.
