Manuscript Chat | The Messengers

Hi everyone.

Trynda here, bringing you another manuscript chat.

Today, I’m gonna be talking about the messengers which are basically a race that live in the celestial plane with the Elohim.

They are created through making a covenant of some sort whether it be for protection or companionship or really anything the Elohim and that soul make a pact for. Depending on what purpose they were made for, the messengers will look different but often times, they’ll have a base image that is inspired from different areas throughout history. Some taken from biblical references others from the Italian renaissance. Some of the base line features that the race of messengers have are huge wings that they can fly with, pale white skin, silver eyes, silver hair and a very tall, lanky but slightly muscular form.

Some of them are more muscular than some of them are not but it really depends on what they were created for because that’s going to assist them with the task they were assigned to do.

I don’t know if assigned to do is the right word because it’s kind of a ‘you help me and I help you’ agreement between the Elohim and the messengers. So, it’s not so much of a self serving thing although there are exceptions, it’s more of a agreement and respect for one another.

Among the messengers, there is also the high messengers which are basically the equivalent of an arch angel and that is the right hand or second in command of the Elohim that created them.

Once again, there are exceptions to this rule but more often than are not, the high messengers serve as body guards, companions and kind of a jack-of-all-trades that assist the Elohim whenever and wherever they can.

Some of the High Messengers that are in On Fallen Wings are Lucifer, Paimon, Michael and Gabriael. I think those are the few that I’ve mentioned, there are more that I can’t think of off the top my head but those are the ones that I’ve talked about so far.

Since the high messengers act as body guards, that are incredibly hard to kill and are often very skilled in the art of combat and various other trades that are appealing to the Elohim that created them.

So, I think that’s it for now guys. I’m going to put the sheet from my world bible up on my Patreon for Patreons to see, if you haven’t checked out my Patreon, make sure to check out the link below. (Revival Episode 4) launches on November 4 so, if you haven’t gotten your preorder and you’re looking my to get one, then make sure you head to the link below as well.

If you like this video make sure to leave a like and subscribe to my channel. If there’s something in particular you’d like me to talk about then leave a comment down below and I try to cover that in the next video.

I think that’s it for now and I will talk to you guys next week.

Hi everyone, Trynda here.

Bringing you an update today from the Canadian human rights museum.

I found this nice little spot over on the side so I figured I’ll do a video here. There was a train and I think there are still trains so if it’s a little noisy I apologize about that, it wasn’t my intention to have a train in here.

So, up on the YouTube channel this month, we have a Manuscript Chat about the Elohim which are the gods in my universe and I also put up an Authortube Worldbuilding tag where I answered questions about world building. I also managed to get up a Book Bag video where I talk about what I thought of Neverwhere and what I’m going to be reading next.

On Patreon this month, I wasn’t able to get a short story up but I was able to get a few world building post up for Patrons and I’ve also put up a behind the scenes look at the cover for what I’m working on in November for NaNoWriMo so, you can go over there and have a look if you’re a one dollar Patron or more.

During September, I made sure to get the author Trynda E. Adair website all tuned up because it was looking a little stagnant so now it is looking freshly redone and it’s on a WordPress framework for anyone who’s interested. My reason for picking WordPress was a little bit more technical only because I work in php and WordPress already so I wanted to be able to have a website for something that I could already actively develop and maintain and fix if I needed to. That was a little bit more tactical for anyone who’s interested.

In October, you can expect to see some videos about prepping for NaNoWriMo. In November. I’m not gonna be working on a novel this year, I’ll be working on a series of short stories that I’m doing instead just because I wanna work on some stuff for my Patrons and get some exclusive stuff that they can look forward to.

I’m also going to be redoing the rewards for Patrons and goals because right now they don’t just make a lot of sense to me and I want to have stuffs that’s a bit more enticing and I want to make them a bit more rewarding for those who are actually being Patreons to me. So, I will give you guys updates on that as they come up and I will let you know.

If you’re looking for real time up to date updates, then I suggest heading over to any of my social media sites. You can check out my Facebook or my twitter. You can also check out my mailing list and get free short stories as well as updates every month on what I’m working on and I think that’s it for now guys so, if you have any suggestion on videos you wanna see during prep-tober, feel free to leave them down in the comment below. If you haven’t checked out my Patreon yet, have a look at that, the rewards and the goals are going to be changing soon so keep that in mind but if you have something you want to see, then feel free to leave a comment over on my Patreon or in the comments down below. So, I’ll make sure to leave all of the links below in the description for you guys. If you like this video or any of my other videos, make sure to subscribe and leave a like on the video and I will put up more like them.

So I think that’s it for now guys, I’ll see you guys later.

Trynda’s Bookbag | Neverwhere & H. P. Lovecraft Compendium

September 28, 2017 / Trynda E. Adair / 0 Comments

[podcastplayer feed_url =’https://anchor.fm/s/241caac4/podcast/rss’ number=’1′ podcast_menu=” cover_image_url=” hide_cover=’true’ hide_description=’true’ filterby=’Neverwhere & H. P. Lovecraft Compendium’ hide_search=’true’ hide_loadmore=’true’ ]

Hi everyone, Trynda here.

Today, I’m bring you a BookBag video where I’ll be talking about Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I started this book a few months back and I just haven’t had that much time to read over the summer but I finally got around finishing it and now, I’m gonna talk about it.

If you’re not too sure what Neverwhere is, it’s basically an urban fantasy set in London where Richard Mathew, a regular everyday man is kind of pulled into this underground London society that is based around magic and the feudal system.

I couldn’t really connect with Richard very much, I didn’t understand why he didn’t want to go back to a fiancée that didn’t treat him very well, and I could understand why he wanted to go home but it just felt like a lot of time he was blundering through when he was smarter than how he was acting. I really liked Door, I really wish that we could have seen more from her perspective and just see how she felt about the London Underground and i just wanted to learn more about her and her past and more about what she thought about the everyday life that she knew opposed to Richard who was thrown into something unusual.

All in all, I really like the book and I’m glad to have read it, I just wish that there was less of head hopping and the main character of Richard was a little bit more relatable in the sense that he was actually working to go home towards something that actually mattered and it would have made Richard seem a little more believable to me because it just didn’t make sense that he was going to return to someone who just didn’t deserve him in the first place.

Next on my to be read list is the H.P. Lovecraft compendium and I’m really looking forward to reading this because I’ve never actually read any of H.P. Lovecraft’s work so, I’m really excited to get into all the stories that people always talk about. I think that’s it for this week’s video so, I will talk to you guys next week. If you like this video make sure to leave a like and subscribe to my channel for more videos like it. If you disagreed or wanna talk to me about anything I said in the video, leave a comment in the comment section down below and I’d love to chat about it. If you haven’t checked out my Patreon, I suggest heading over there, I put out short stories, worldbuilding and behind the scenes content for all my writing. So check that out, it might be something that you’re interested in.

If you’re looking for something quick to read you can check out my mailing list and get a short story or you can check out Revival prologue, it’s available for free at the link down below and I think that’s it for now guys.

So, I will talk to you guys later.

Hey everyone.

Trynda here, Today, I’m bringing you an update video from the Manitoba Legislative Building.

So, I found a nice little park off to the side here, I’ve never seen it before so, I figured I do a video here.

First up, I’m going to tell you about some videos that have gone up on my channel.

I didn’t actually get a video up last week, I was swollen and sore with a tooth infection so, I didn’t actually get a chance to shoot my video.

Before that, I had the Method to My Madness where I was talking about hashtags on social media.

At the beginning of the month, we had the Manuscript Chat video which was the first video in the series talking about my manuscripts that I’m working on and I will put a link down below with all these videos so you can go check them out.

You can expect to see a new book video coming up soon along with another Manuscript Chat video and those will be coming up in the next few weeks so, keep an eye out for that.

I’ve also been working on a short story for the Fall Writing Contest held by the right practice.

I’ve really been enjoying writing for the theme of Let’s Fall in Love so, you can expect to see that soon.

I’ll be posting a link to the Reader’s Choice Award.

There’s not too much going on with my Patreon recently unfortunately.

I’ve been a bit busy so, it’s fallen on the wayside.

There has been a single short story added but you can go over there and check that out to see if it’s something you’re interested in.

You can also get Revival (Episode 3) now and you can preorder Revival (Episode 4) And that will be coming out November 1^st.

If you haven’t checked out my social media, make sure to check that out.

There’s always articles and other stuff that I find interesting going up on my feed.

You can stay up to date with me there or you can check out my mailing list and you can get a free short story as well.

So, I think that’s it for now guys and I will talk to you later.

Method To My Madness | #Hashtags

August 23, 2017 / Trynda E. Adair / 0 Comments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JTcPZ9wHm8

Hi everyone, Trynda here.

Today, I’m bringing you a video about hashtags on social media. I’ve been doing a lot of research into how you use hashtags in your social media posts so, I thought I would share the tips that I’ve learned along the way with you guys. If you don’t know what a hashtag is, it’s basically a searchable keyword that allows two posts that are similar in content to be linked together. I’ve noticed that some authors don’t use hashtags as well as they could be so, I thought these tips would be useful to the community in general. If you’re interested in the hashtags specific to authors, then I suggest you hang on until the very end and we will get to those.

So, first off, I’m going to talk about formatting. When you’re putting hashtags in your posts, you don’t want to make them too long or too hard to read. They suggest keeping it no more than two to four words at max and if you have multiple words in the hashtag, you should be using CamelCase which is where you capitalize the first letter of each word in that sentence. When it comes to the frequency of hashtags you’re using in your post, it varies greatly between site to site. So, what I’m going to be covering today is Facebook, Twitter and instagram.

So, Twitter is basically where it all started originally and they recommend not putting more than two to four hashtags in a post otherwise, it comes off looking spammy and that really factors in heavily when you’re putting it on every single word. You want to try and avoid doing that because it comes off like you’re just a robot and that’s something you really want to avoid when you’re on social media.

The next one is instagram.
There’s a lot of variation on the amount of hashtags to put in particular post. Some people say between 11 and 30 which seems really high to me and some people said between two and three which also seems very low for instagram. So, I tend to put around five to ten hashtags on mine and I find that that works for getting a bit of engagement for me. A lot of this stuff depends on your audience and your analytics.

I’ll cover Facebook a little bit more in-depth because that one has a little bit more to it because it was a little bit late to the hashtag game and people didn’t seem to catch on to it the same way. This is mostly because on Facebook, it’s more influencers, brands and promoters trying to get their content across and this is just because most people who use Facebook have private personal accounts opposed to public promotional pages. So, with Facebook, they recommend not putting any more than two hashtags in a post.

Some people recommend putting them at the end of the post and some people recommend putting them in the post itself. I personally find that there’s not much difference for me so, I tend to put them in the post itself because it goes along my to me and it makes it easier to read I find. But that’s me and that’s my audience so, it definitely depends on what your audience is reflecting by how your insights area on the Facebook page is showing and if you haven’t looked at that, then you definitely should because that would give you all the analytics for the Facebook page and how your posts are performing. Twitter has something similar with the analytics area on their site and I would recommend looking into that as well. Instagram unfortunately doesn’t have a built in analytics area but a quick google search and you can find any type of analytics tool that suites your needs for Instagram.

I’m going to get into some specific author related hashtags now. If you’re ever wondering what type of hashtags people are using, you can look at other people’s posts and also search on their actual social media platform itself. That can be a huge help for finding what hashtags people are talking about at that time. You can also use a site called Hashtagify.me and that’ll tell you which ones are doing better than others and which ones have a bit more conversation going on about them. So, some of the really popular ones are:

Writing Specific

#amWriting
#amEditing
#WIP
#writersLife
#writersTip

Genre Specific

#Fantasy / #ScienceFiction
#amWritingFantasy
#amWritingScienceFiction
#YALit
#Mystery

I could go on forever because it’s basically whatever genre you’re writing in and that’s a really popular one that helps you connect with people or your same genre.

There’s also a few more like I do such as #MotivationMonday & #ShakespeareSunday.

Those aren’t necessarily specific to the author community but those ones can help you get your exposure out there to communities that you may not necessarily connect with otherwise.

So, I think that’s it for now guys, if you enjoyed this video, make sure to leave a like and subscribe to my channel. I would love to hear what you guys are using for hashtags in your posts so, leave a comment down below so we can chat about it a little more or you can connect with me on social media, I’m @TryndaEAdair on all social media platforms. Revival Episode 3 is now available and you can also preorder Revival Episode 4. If you haven’t experienced anything in the Revival series, then I’ll recommend checking out the Revival Prologue which is a free short story that I wrote back in 2012.

So, that’s it for now guys and I will talk to you guys later.
