Day Seven - Maybe one more day?
This is day seven of the 10 years of creation.
And you can see in this video how awkward and self conscious I am, and yet I continue!
This, I think may be the last post I make before I launch this website.
Yesterday, I did several videos on different topics and I posted two of them. One was about my workout. Another was about my video setup. There were a couple more.
One was about cellos, my cello and a cello that I would like to acquire. Another was about my business model, which I may publish that, but it's hardly a business model at all!
The point is I have been able to catch up on all of these days, so that for seven days I have blog posts.
I would like to say briefly that the joke may be on me!
I have been putting considerable work into making these posts every day, which I plan to continue!
We'll see. I think my goal right now is: do it for a week, see what happens?
I'd like to keep doing it, because I'm interested to see how this project is received.
There's a benefit in it for me in simply observing each day, what it is that I have accomplished and documenting that. Theoretically I could just do that, as in the way that a person would journal, and you would go back and look at what you were writing about, and you think, “Holy God, I can't believe that's what I was going through at that particular point in time!”
I saw someone - I can't remember this creator's name - I think he's on multiple platforms. He reviews movies, and he was talking about how, specifically on Tik Tok, he had been able to get a lot of traction, because what he's doing is hyper specific. It's about his favorite movies or TV shows. And even though other people are doing that, he does it really well. Now this is not helping you very much, because I'm not giving you the name of this creator, so you can't go listen to his movie reviews!
However, the point is:
This channel is hyper specific, too. It's hyper specific about how a creator who is a cellist who busks for a living and composes, makes his way through the world. And that's about as hyper specific as you can get!
So in terms of my accomplishments for this day, this little piece of work that I did to catch up these blog posts - including getting Chat GPT to make a chart of all the chemicals that are produced by the body when I do a cold plunge, which is on the blog post about my workout - that was very cool. Norepinephrine is one of the chemicals. Those things turn into dopamine. Then there's a number of others. It's quite fascinating.
And as it turns out, I just did a cold plunge a little while ago, right before I came up to do this video.
So I believe the next step is going to be to hand this off to my friend Emily, who has been doing wonderful work on helping me with my artist website, and actually helped me quite a bit getting this website created. Have her go over it, see if we can correct anything that needs to be corrected, and launch this baby.
I think that's going to be what's next. I'm planning to put this up tonight on the 13th of July, seven days in. It may be that it is tomorrow when this launches.
Tomorrow, there will also be an update on the status of the concert, because, although I have not publicly announced this or said anything about this: it's not clear that we will be able to have this concert next Thursday. The ticket sales are not very high and we need a certain number of people to come to make it worthwhile. We're going to look at that with Dionne tomorrow in the morning and see how things are looking.
That would be a weird development, but all of the developments, as far as I know, are pretty weird, and I shall carry on!
We're getting close!
On day seven of the 10 years of creation.
