This is my Moon Tree Brothers book trailer. I would love to hear comments from my loyal, yet incredibly silent, following.
“It’s the journey and not the destination.” Anthony Bourdain and probably a few people before him, said. I love the journey of writing books and painting pictures. The destination is the icing on the cake. And, that is not bad, either!

Moon Tree Brothers Book Trailer
This is my Moon Tree Brothers book trailer. I would love to hear comments from my loyal, yet incredibly silent, following.
My nifty new award, my book tailer and REMEMBER to read your manuscript aloud
Wow! Now that I have this nifty writers blog award, and from a site that is right up my fantasy alley, I better get blogging.
I have been doing a little of it on my personal blog, but as far as writing, I have just successfully edited out about 6,000 words in my Middle Grade book. It is with an editor, who is focusing on grammar and mostly punctuation, but I am still amazed to see the stupid mistakes she is catching in it: Redundancies (ie saying the same thing twice in a sentence), other odd things such as that.
I was so excited when she offered her services that I did not do the final 'out loud' read through on the revised manuscript. Always a mistake. You have to read it out loud to really hear it.
My book trailer is up on YouTube. I created it by creating several drawings and then using words in between. The thing that really sets it off though, is the music. I have a credit for the composer at the end. The piece I found just fits so perfectly. It has a low native sounding drum building up, for this book that has a lot of elements of the First People in it. You can find it at by searching YouTube for Moon Tree Brothers. My videos are at http://www.youtube.com/user/SAVanVleck and include my grandson's Country music, as well as odds and ends.

In amongst this, I seem to have a heart attack epidemic in my family. Mom ended up in the ER with a heart attack and has taken days to recover. Hospice is now coming out to her apartment and that is a comfort. The other family member is mom's little Chihuahua. I have to make sure she eats before she gets her heart medicine and some days she just does not want to eat. The vet doesn't have a lot of hope for length of her life.
So, your blog award was a bright spot in my day. Thanks, so much Storybook World. Click on my award for a link to their site. http://astorybookworld.blogspot.com
