My dream is to be...

So I'm just kind of stating it on swell, hoping the universe picks it up and makes me a speaker somewhere. Right? That's dream number one, dream number two is to be a published author. And dream number two is really interesting because I've been working on this one novel manuscript, and I got the first draft on, and I read through the first draft. I'm working through the second draft, but for whatever reason, it's harder on the second draft

Talking about swell. About speaking. About wanting to be an author. Thank you @roomi for getting me back on the app! 😊

I am coming! 🤣

You see the stubborn and the lack of conviction that we all have, even though our first language is mostly English, yet we struggle with it. And yet you have such command when you actually talk about something. And you know what you're saying, which is so good to hear. And sometimes it's just music because you can actually make notes, mental notes

I was a songwriter for a long period. I was in a band, I'm still a musician, but I don't play in a band anymore because musical differences and whatnot and now life has gotten busier and busier by the day. So what I want to do right now? I don't know. I'm so much into filmmaking. I actually love filmmaking, and I got the chance to actually do any of that stuff

Sorry. So the call interrupted the whole thing. Them. It took away the microphone, and I could not say anything beyond what I was saying. So I'm actually really looking forward to you doing, you know, public speech, some, you know, a full forum where you can actually go and talk in public and use your humor and all that stuff that you have talked about. And I want to see all those high pitches and low down dips and those frequencies

Keep dreaming!

But then there are other moments where I feel like I have a long way to go till I make a podcast that I feel is like a podcast. May we both continue to pursue our dreams with glee and take all of our suffering as ammunition to combat convert into positivity of some kind

@roomi we admire things in others usually 🤦🏽‍♀️

So if you really do like my voice, which I personally think it's too shrill and it's too annoying that's my personal thought on my voice. But if you really do like my voice and like what I say, Living a Life through books, I have done some mini reviews on it. I've talked to authors, things like that. So that's available. I have a blog that I haven't written in several years. I think almost four years

@Wuandurful podcast? Tell me more...

I think I might have told you that I thought you had, like, a radio voice or something like that, which you do. You would make an amazing audiobook narrator. Now, the only caveat with an audiobook narrator is that you need a good voice and you need to act it out because I listen to a lot of audiobooks. So you need to really be the actor. Also, I don't know what kind of an actor you are, but it's a skill, right?

@bookishpodcast - Should have videotaped it. 💁🏻

Okay. So Congratulations. First of all, that was Episode One on Ted Talk. Should have videotaped it. Nailed it, loved it

@bookishpodcast - I spoke for TOO LONG.

So there you go. So you've got the command. The word I was looking for was command and conviction. And whatever you're saying, whatever you want to say, you have the command, and that command is something that plays role. But you play around with that as well. You're like, I know my wiggle room. I know this is the place I can actually walk with

@bookishpodcast - 🙏🏼

So that is why when I listen to you and some of your audio submissions like this is someone who's interesting and I can actually have a good conversation with this person now. And you're doctor yourself, which is more interesting. And I want to know more about it. And you can Bake. So you see, I'm remembering every single thing. My dream is to be completely free in a world. You said about shooting a film and making a short film about it right now

My life is a wonderful mess. Lol

So I actually wanted to be less about having conversations with people in the audio world. I think I'm starting to finally bridge away from not bridge away. That's not really a word, but I'm starting to break away from that where swell is the place where I would rather have back and forth discussions because it's built for that. Versus my podcast is kind of more you're like getting a glimpse inside my head so that's the best way I can answer based those things

Just another response @roomi

And gosh, I'm running out of time. But you talked about life dreams of being free, like just free to do what you want. And I think that's a human dream for every single person. They just want freedom to be who they are, to express how they want to express and to live their life. And I think that's very achievable, if not for a minor detail called Finances. So that's my take on that and look forward to hearing from you more

Rambled on @Wuandurful

I get no money out of this. Okay. I promise I get nothing out of putting his name or anything like that. So it's just kind of like if you need the help if you're like, hey, do you know an audiobook engineer? Sure, I do, because he was on my podcast. So there is that

My misery will only be better to hear as I get better. Lol @bookishpodcast

What's next that I can do in podcasting and podcasting is one of those topics for me that there just always seems to be something new that I can do with it that I can infuse with it, especially the technical side, the engineering side, it's endless. You can do that stuff forever. So the possibilities excite me. So, yeah, that's the dream in the sense. So, yeah, just making podcast. Yes, I've been doing that
