Blood Will Stream introduction video – up now on YouTube!

by

So, since launching the cover and details for the fourth Hobson & Choi book the other day, I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing some YouTube videos to promote it – since the book is about a YouTuber being killed, it didn’t seem like the worst idea.

With time running down before the all-important 4th October launch date, I’ve decided to get stuck in and do an intro video to explain what the book’s about and what the big differences are between this one and the previous three. Hopefully if you’re on this website, you might be just the target audience for such a thing.

And yes, I also nervously fidget with my hands a lot. I know.

Anyway, here it is:

Hope you enjoyed that. If it’s enticed you to pre-order the book, I’ve added all the available pre-order options to the main Hobson & Choi page! (Not print, I know. They won’t let me offer pre-orders for print. Sorry.)

It was somewhat fun to do. I have plans for at least one more, which should be with you within the next week, and then… I don’t know, ideas welcome.

Tweet me at @NickMB with things to talk about! Or ask random questions and I’ll do a Q&A maybe!

Man Edits NaNoWriMo Third On Video – A WriteVlog Experiment (or WriteBlog #21)

by

I have a new iPad, so decided to play with the video function and do this week’s WriteBlog in straight-to-camera video form. See me struggle with what a chapter is, the sound on my computer and where exactly I’m meant to be looking!

Good times. In terms of actual content, this is me talking about starting edits on the final third of my novel – which I wrote during NaNoWriMo – and worrying that it is garbage – because I wrote it during NaNoWriMo. There is some embarrassing turning-off-the-sound stuff which I have’t edited out because it made me laugh when I watched it back – potentially I should be a bit more brutal with myself, but for a first effort, I think is okay. There may one day be a second effort.

Anyway, if I bang on much longer, I’ll defeat the labour-saving purpose of doing it on video in the first place. Here it is!
