Here’s the microwave version of todays video:
It’s July 1st, and I messed up the first complete recording…TAKE TWO!
We have a new song, “WAKE UP!” written by my daughter Jami Taylor, and performed with her little sister, Carley. I loved it so much and the words described Life of Fiction so well, I asked if I could use it as our theme song. VOTE to make it the weekly theme song, or no (poll below).
The Underlings, Season One starts tomorrow, July 2nd, 2024.
Artwork resumes this Wednesday.
This Thursday we resume Life of Fiction the Podcast, Season Three, and we will start with podcasts with Roman and Ruby!
Friday we resume the Wanted Hero story (Chronicles), Season Three!
We have also created some merchandise for The Underlings, which you can find here. Look at some of the goodies we have =)
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY to all those who live in the USA!
I voted yes.
Before I heard the whole song.
And now I don't know ow if I can cry like this every damn week Jaime.
Also. If people (you) are concerned about it being long, just use the chorus, or chorus-bridge-chorus.
Lets see what the vote is, but that is a GREAT idea...
Thank you =)
Oh yes, I loved the song!! Use it! Absolutely, use it! :D
Glad you like it!!
I came here to say exactly what @haly said. You don't have to use the whole song. You can just use a part of it for the opening theme. Much success with your upcoming plans!
Always love your feedback, little sister. =)
Thank you.
I’d personally love the song both ways so how about a short or medium clip intro and then let us hear the whole thing at the end to send us off into our day happy as punch! It’s really great! 👍 🫶😻
That's a pretty good idea also....putting it on the options list =)
Exactly my thoughts.
Love these morning check-ins! And the song drew me in. I'm a lyrics person, and they touched me. Life can only get better...
That's all my daughter, Lolo....she's expecting her second little one, and when she was visiting, I asked if I could use it for LoF.
Love the music, and love everything you are doing. The merch is DELIGHTFUL!!!
Thought it was a good touch for the kids =)
Yep. Keep the song! It made me tear up a little. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to hear it more than once.
Thank you, Shannon....and welcome to LoF =)
Hope you got my personal welcome email...?
I did 😊
My ADHD brain has so many comments throughout these and I love it.
First off, GOOD MORNING!!!!! Hopefully you heard that. 😄
Secondly I want to know ow that I love you and am here to support you in any way I can. Even if it means helping to do grunt work when you build your house.
I love you back, little brother.
Was in the office, so if you shouted from outside your house, no, I didn’t hear it…BUT I did read it.
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, BACK!!!!!!
As for my house, how about we spread the word of Life of Fiction, get enough paid subscribers, and then you can join me over a Coke Zero while we watch proper ‘men’ craft a house that is less likely to fall in on my head?
BTW — anyone else reading this should know something about Joshua. His single quote, when he was a kid, helped me sell THOUSANDS of books.
Wait, wait….let’s see if I still have the printing file.
Hmmmmm.
Oop. There it is. PDF.
Open. Screenshot. Therrrrrrre we GO!
UPLOAD.
Dad, I keep getting emotional listening and watching these things you're putting out. I love hearing the stories you always said you would write, I love hearing the songs my sisters create. It's beautiful to me.
I couldn't help chuckling every time there was a cut in the video, cause I know you, and I could only imagine what was pulled out 😄 and what I imagined was funny. (Idk, maybe that makes me weird 🤔😅)
Please use the song to open. It is a little long, but it brings a smile to my face. Every day should start with a skip in your step and a smile 🤗
My sweet Jessie bear,... all these things were created for my kids first.
For you, dear.
Then for your kids, which are still my kids.
.... but you DO know me, and know I love ALL kids.
That's why all this is happening now.
I have no clue how to make things grow, how to run a business, or to make lots of money.
I do know how to love people.
I do know how to give hope.
I do know how to teach.
I do know how to uplift and point out the good things I see in others, especially when they are down.
My heart has always been full, and I have always wanted to create opportunities to craft positive experiences for readers.
