Doodle Journal Update

     I'm still trying to figure out the new YouTube Studio. To share my Doodle Journal video, all I had to do was press a button to create a new blog post where the video link automatically appeared here in Blogger. Now (and last week, too), I can't seem to get back to that place. I have no idea where it is; however, I suspect that it's in the new uploader section, which I'm still not comfortable using. Anyway, here's my latest video that I just published on my channel: https://youtu.be/foIMJeGqXYY.
     It's related to the Doodle Journal video, so it's appropriate to mention it here. Enjoy the video!
     If you like it, give it a thumbs up, make a comment, share the video, and subscribe to my channel. If you've been watching my videos, but you're not sure you'd like to subscribe, you might notice that I upload a video every Saturday. That's my schedule during the semesters; when the college is on break (e.g. Spring Break), I usually upload more often than once a week.

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That . . and a Whole Lot of Impatience

     Currently, I'm working on journal topics for my writing students, and I just thought about this blog I'm supposed to be writing in from time to time, so I'm taking a little break to write a bit in here. If I don't do it now, I'll lose the thought in my brain because I've got a whole bunch of tasks I have to take care of for my six classes.

      Regarding the 100 Things Challenge videos, I'm anxious to upload all of them just to get them done, just to get them out of the way, and, most importantly, just so I can get on with my normal (or not so normal) everyday (not so everyday, especially during the fall and spring semesters) crafting. Ideally, I should've had them edited and uploaded many months ago, but that is not how I roll.

      I still have about 10 "Things" I have to edit. Some of those "Things" comprise several video files because, heck, I love to talk in my videos. The problem is, as the video-editor, I hate splitting the video a bunch of times, deleting the "talking" parts or speeding up those sections and throwing in some tunes because all that stuff takes time. During the semesters, I don't have that time to spend.

      Fortunately, the Fall 2019 semester is less stressful than last fall (2018) even though I have one less class now. Last fall's course schedule was very hectic; you probably already know that if you listened to certain videos on my channel . . . you know, the ones where I'm telling you about how stressful that semester was?

      The fall semester started last week, so I expect to be very busy with getting my act together: Setting up due dates for assignments and tests, creating a course calendar for each of my classes, and, oh yeah, teaching! Once the hubbub dies down (usually after Week 3), I can get back to video-editing. Right now, I have about six edited Thing videos waiting to be uploaded, but I'm uploading those one per week to give me time to get the work-related tasks done.

      Enough explaining and complaining! Back to the grindstone, as the saying goes. If you haven't yet done so, please, take a moment to subscribe to my YouTube channel: Tammi Naumann - The Crafty Cat Lady. Thank you!
