You ever just get so disconnected from the web that by the time you come back, so much has happened to talk and write about that you just don't know where to start?

I actually started writing quite the post yesterday but it quickly ran off track and started sounding more like the ramblings of a blithering madman than anything of true substance.  Still, there are bits that I still want to mention:

ON WRITING
I posted a video talking about dealing with writer's blog, which basically went over three separate elements: discipline, outlines and notes, and writing the right stuff versus the wrong stuff.  YouTuber Camo1000 recently finished the final edit of his novel (of which I would recommend acquiring once he makes it available) and chimed in with his two cents.  What really ended up sticking with me--days after I watched his video--was his suggestion to knuckle down and write at least five hundred words a day.  This is some excellent advice, whether you're trying to write a book or if your goal is simply to flex your creative writing skills.

ON COMMUNITY
Even when I take a break from active, minute-to-minute involvement in our YT community, I observe it at a distance and am constantly impressed.  From Benzone50 producing a truly inspiring tribute collab, to all the Talking Heads birthday wishes, to every one of the many Apocabloggers.  The creative community is alive and well on YouTube.  More importantly, it is the FUTURE of YouTube.

YOU are the future of YouTube.

ON KRUMBINE'S CHANNEL
A transformation has been taking place.  I think you've probably noticed it.  I've gone from production-centric videos to a style of vlogging that embraces the creative community.  My productions haven't (and won't) disappear ... they have simply become the feature presentation in a line-up of--for lack of a better phrase--creative commentary.

My goals have always been to inspire the creativity of others, and I am now recognizing just how important this element of my channel is.

ON PRODUCTION
I shot an hour worth of footage about my dino-hunting excursion this past weekend.  I don't know if I'll get it down to ten minutes, so it might end being a horbawrong.com exclusive.  I started editing last night and so far it's a blast.

Apocabloggers, fret not--I've been prepping footage and was also waiting for Chris LeBrane to supply me with some music for the project (of which he has; of which the tracks absolutely rock).  While a few have already posted a second-round apocablog, many have not.  I'll be posting a video soon calling for the videos, but if you want to wait and see what the master video will look like, that's cool, too.

Two of the four new episodes of Talking Heads are underway.  These are episodes 43 and 44 and we're at least two weeks out from the first of the new episodes.

Finally, the above picture has nothing to do with anything.  I bought some dinosaurs that I found at CVS and was having fun with them on the ride back to the office.  Cause, you know, dinosaurs are cool.
