So where has the writer/storyteller gone, or was?

Long story went to Europe -→

 
Traveled by car around Ireland, in southeast France and northwest coast of Italy then came home with a cough and cold. Resting just enough to go to art camp in Quince, CA. Of, course the cold came back. Sometimes I think if one had processed a ton of new information, and still caught in what they were doing before taking on the new, there is a body break-down, shouting 'rest' 'relax', 'sort goals'.  I had finished the A to Z Story Realm, combined with NaNoWriCamp and on wattpad.com and all the while planning the long saga rode-trip meeting in France grandsons and mother and father. Driving through Europe mostly lost, which is one mass of roads and buildings, crowd. Europeans are helpful and friendly! But as one of my favorite stories, 'The Troubadour' states along his way, "A traveler can never make the wrong turn." We did have adventures.

Short story is I'm overwhelmed -→
and have too many projects to finish and the critic is on me, that is me after me, and I don't know which project?  So still resting.

SOMEONE IS OUT THERE?

Once I mastered the writing of a novel and needed to publish and promote the book, I wondered 'Is there anyone out there?' WOW! Did I learn there were! Right now the biggest social places are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and many more . . .

While writing the book there is a flood of HOW-TO: for editing, and of course, a website, launch page and to collect readers through email promotion. There are sites to show your progress in writing: Wattpad, Jukepop, Scribd., Bubblish, just to name a few. Once the book is finished there are more opportunities, of course the HOW-TOs: to publish on CreateSpace, Smashword, and Amazon Kindle, and Kindle of Kids, with editors and formatting helpers. And also out in the vast web are the HOW-TOs for selling at ebook stores Gumroad,Goodread and Libraries just to name a few. Then comes the infoproducts and the HOW-TOs: podcast, make video trailer, voice over, etc.  PLUS,  more helpful sites free or with fees to master any problem any author has with promoting and marketing. I never knew publishing a story was a vast fast pace side around the web.
  
Someone is out there. WOWED! I must admit sorting through the grab bag is an education. I watch, listen, and take notes. The WELLS RUN DEEP! Yes, I have pay helpers, Fivver.com. Watch an amazing amount of webinars, that are worth any author's time with helpful hints, and of course, courses to buy. I use all theses bits and pieces to travel around the vast web to use all who can helped me. 

We live in a vast productive time with many options. Once there was radio, as a child on Saturday mornings listening and enjoyed stories, then as teenager watched local television that ran until midnight with a the test patterns that buzzed, or listened to the rockn'roll stations from Denver and Texas. Today we have the explosion of media, from once records, to tapes, to CDs, and DVDs, to today streaming songs and movies free or for a small charge on computer or TV screens, and on smart phones.  

Today the variable in writing and reading is amazing, fantastic, awesome, unbelievable and always CHANGING.

I am the creator, the writer, the publisher, the marketer, my own promoter. As an author, I run my whole business from my computer with more exposure, more earnings, with different products. My new title is AUTHORPERNEUR, an expert, that means exclusive e-publisher of my books.

WEBS of ATTACHMENT

The long web . . .

There are friends out there!

The virtual web is long lines that attached somewhere. I needed to find out where and to whom for my stories, especially Rhyonna's Flight, and I hoped to put some of my storytelling on video or audio. Actually was like I dangled out in space on a bouncing line in nowhere, confused by all the banners, ads, movie promotions with flashing lights waiting for a spider to eat, I liked spiders. Frankly, I was lost on a busy noise street downtown in the gigantic city, when I'm from the open, simple country with grass, trees, flowers and music flowing happily on two lanes, not multi lanes going in all directions. Finally, I went through google.blog, then bought a that website, bobbiestoryportfolio. Now I have two other blog sites, blobblobandblogging. And when the faeries and elfin stories arrived, I started Elfin and Faery Tales, now I have a website, Bobbie Kinkead. Then Facebook appeared, then twitter about the same time. These are easier for me and social; the web does attach to others!

Others on their side receives the story their way.

The hope of a story is to invoke a vision for a word, stating visual accounting of what is in a scene. Sometimes the visual account is a word list. An example in this sentence, “Rhyonna’s had mud mixed with hairy gray fluff on her hands, yellow dress, and wings.” Hopefully, the reader/listener inside their visual mind travels through the list to Rhyonna’s muddy hands, then to her muddy spotted, crumpled yellow dress, and to her tattered, gray hanging wings, the way the reader/listener saw the scene.
The reader/listener fills in the details they imagine and see in their mind. This is the magic of writing and storytelling. The other on their side receives the story their way. Like the two ways of setting up a website, the back end is what the technicians set up, the front end is what the viewer sees. Or, the computer with its programs has a special language and many experts created the programming for everything we do with the computer on on the web. This is also the magic of video games children love. Many created the visuals, pixel by pixel; a child intently plays the game as an interactive adventure to pursue. The child builds a visual story. Much as we drive a car knowing little about the motor, gears, brakes, use of fuels: we turn a key and guide it going on our adventure story.? And how much went into the work for a book held or story hear; the back story is not read. Much as a piece of art! a sewn quilt, a house or apartment we live in, the tap water we drink, and on and on.


The simplified front story is the magic we play and live in everyday. Who can or wants to measure the back story that created all of this for us to enjoy? No me, just enjoy!
