Updates on my life as a craftsperson and artist (Sher Con the Great Retires)

I am writing a fantasy novel. It has been going on for about a year now. I currently have 22600 words of a rough draft typed into a wattpad draft. (I'm only using it to keep track of the words - like a free version of google docs. idk. I want to illustrate it with drawings and paintings of my characters and the scenery, along with some floorplans (like for the inn and bar etc.) and maps. both city and countryside detailed and broad. I'm creating a whole world here where demons angels faith and mythological creatures are all real, and miracles happen all the time. people call it magic, it starts out sort of dystopian but I plan to weave a bit more fantasy in as I go along. I hope to make it so real that people who read can't be sure if it is real, or if it's Fantasy.
I wrote a song over the course of the 2020 -22 covid pandemic, and I only need a singer, or myself, with some background instruments to sing and record it. (I have not figured out the melody yet.) I have the lyrics published as Pandemic Faith in my book on wattpad called Random & Raw. I'm trying to update it regularly, but with all that's going on... - Personal stuff as well as writing my novel, and oh yeah trying to build out a School bus to RV conversion and film amap for youtube, and keep that going with uploads going public every week (sat @6pm) currently only has nature footage, no bus build series yet, not all filmed and just not ready to do that, I'm unorganized and can't get the hubby to commit seriously enough to have content from the build every week - Don't Fault Him He Has A Full Time JOB and the BUILD is enough PRESSURE. never mind being on camera, and explaining what he's doing.
So my Random & Raw may not get updated with new stuff (my story is priority here) but I will try to filter through all the stuff on all my blogs and include some of the best in Random & Raw  which I aim to make a collection of poetry and short essays (written in different voices from this blog) and perhaps some from the painting blog. (I may revive that one too) 
For now I am keeping this as my main blog, and the one I will update once a month (I hope) with new post creations. perhaps only pictures and short blurbs from my Stuffed Animal Collection characters. Sher Con the Great has become very lazy lately, and so I feel fairly safe attempting to revive this blog from under him. lol.

The Facebook Dilemma

     Yea, I've been on facebook with a profile page for a little over a year. For a while, it was bringing in views for my etsy. I liked having a profile page, especially because I didn't have to spam my friends with what was going on in my shop . They could find that info by a simple click on my profile page under my etsy tab . Recently, facebook decided it was inefficient for business, so they put the word out that they would be deleting them from profiles, and instead to create a fan page . Ok, so I made a fan page, but I doubt that it will be effective due to my lack of a sufficient amount of fans. I'm struggling with the SEO stuff, and don't really know how to talk about my art. When I socialize on facebook, groups, and stuff, the  links will still go to my profile page. I guess it will be about two years before my fan page is built up like my profile page. I have 200 friends, but only 15 fans. My dilemma is; How do I teach myself how to make my fan page posts eff

Stuffed Animal Collection: Becky Responsible for all (toys) Refugees

on the bench from left to right: Sharky, Valentine, Scout, King Sher Con The Great, Tabby, The Mouse, Becky (me), George (my honey), Honey Joe Hey blog readers out there, I need your help. I don't know why but Jenn has gone crazy I think. She said She needs me to figure out who all can fit in her new bus (she bought a school bus last November) and who is going to be sold as a refugee in a child's home. I am just a one foot tall stuffed monkey (toy) how am I supposed to do all that!!! Please help.... Jenn said I have nothing to worry about I won't ever be sold, but I am offended by this notion of selling her stuffed animal collection (toys). Her creativity and imagination has given us voice, and now we're people too. It is a very prejudiced attitude towards some of the ones she's not very close with. All because she wants to downsize and move across the country exploring as she goes. The end goal is of course home to AK, after a year of exploring the continental US.

Marketing for Dummies chapter 1: Optimizing your Marketing Program

Image
So, I've been reading, and rereading, and taking notes, and reading some more from this realy great book " marketing for dummies " (I borrowed my copy from my local library)  Now I'm not dummy, but the reasons why I've been reading - the first chapter even! - over and over, is because it is just that good.  I've litterally been using it like a text book for colledge, using the questions like assignments and going the extra mile on them. Chapter 1 is all about "optimizing your Marketing Program".  Well I didn't really have a marketing program, or a marketing strategy, or know anything about marketing and sales other than you have to do some sort of marketing to make sales.  what an eye opener this one chapter has been!  Now that I've been made aware of this, I've been developing a plan that will be more successful for me.  A few key points made are focusing your time, and your money on marketing techniques that have a major or secondary bu
