I have videos. Lots and lots of videos 🎬

Tired of corporate fiction that seems like the same book you read ten times already? Are you interested in learning about an indie author who colors outside the lines? 

I have over 200 videos about my writing and books. Each video is usually under 5 minutes long, and many explain what you'll find in my books, why I write these specific stories, and why you might be interested. I also cover many writing questions that people have asked me over the years, never claiming to be an expert on anything, I attempt to tackle them to the best of my ability.

My original channel was on YouTube. You can click HERE to see all the videos.

I later added everything to Rumble. You can click HERE to see all the videos.

If you find value in these videos and wish to keep up to date, I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel. If you enjoy what you watch, please leave a comment or 'like' the video. This helps to boost my attention on the channel and as you can see, I have a limited audience so I can use all the help I can get. 😬

Thanks so much!

How strong characters make us stronger 💪🏼(Updated)

Have you ever tried to emulate a strong character on television, from the movies or a book? Are we more drawn to characters representing the kind of person we want to be, or do we prefer characters that remind us of ourselves?

I think it's safe to say that the answer to both these questions is probably yes. We often connect with those who remind us of ourselves, but I think there's also a side of us all that seeks out characters that demonstrate the person we would like to be, especially when they are more strong and powerful.

Of course, this is just a theory of mine, but you have to admit, it does make sense. When we consider some of the most admired characters in television, movies, and books, most are admired for their strength and ability to withstand anything thrown at them. In a way, it gives us hope. If our favorite character is resilient in the worst circumstances, then perhaps we can be too.

Regarding my series, many readers have told me that they admire Jorge Hernandez for his strength and boldness, regardless of the situation. He is fearless, powerful, and without a doubt, not someone you want to piss off. Who wouldn't want to have those kinds of traits? After all, life has a way of stepping on us all from time to time, so we find assurance knowing that there are powerful people out there that can withstand anything - even if those powerful people are fictitious characters.

Do you have a character that you've admired for their strength? If so, who is it? I'd love to see your thoughts in the comments.
