2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 2

We’re onto day #2! And I know i’m posting this super late today, but Momma’s been busy :)
Smokey hogs the camera, I’m wearing my housecoat, and an important and timely story is included in today’s video.
Just wanted to give a big shout out to all the book bloggers out there that urged me to give this one a go; you know who you are! Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is by far the oldest book I’ve read in awhile (it was published in 1938), but I loved it, so I’ve…
I haven’t actually read a book by Chuck Palahniuk since his 2010 release Tell-All, which is also the year I met him, and helped organized his event here in Calgary. His writing memoir Consider This, Moments in my Writing Life After Which Everything Was Different features many stories of his various book tours because they…
Well this short story was an improvement from yesterday, that’s for sure. My make-up however, is a different story (pun intended). I look a hot mess this afternoon, mainly because I’m in between naps and Christmas parties. Although it looks like I had a rough night, I didn’t, I just got back from yoga and…
My cold is slowly getting better, and to help speed things along and make my video more ‘viewable’, I’ve put on a bit more make-up today. Normally I’m not a big make-up person, but since I’ve started posting these advent youtube videos all these make-up advent calendar videos pop up on the side of my…
May is short story month, so I’m going to be reviewing a few here in the next few weeks, and I’m starting with a local Calgary author. Good Victory by Mikka Jacobsen is a collection of 11 stories, published by Freehand Books, whose office is located about a half hour walk from my house; you…

When you record these videos, are you thinking of me on the other end watching? lol. I ask because I think I’m usually the first one to watch your advent videos (with my husband, of course!). We were talking about your camera–does yours have an auto-focus feature? If so, turn that off. Get your husband to focus for you, or have him sit where you will sit and you can focus, and THEN do your video. That might help with the shifting focus! If you’re not sure, Google your camera brand and the year it was made for help.
Ok this is very helpful!!! I will try this for tomorrow’s video :)
And yes, sometimes I am thinking of you guys watching haha
😘
It’s much nicer in the H&O collection, but here is the/a link for story 2 from the Short Story Advent Calendar 2018: http://thecollagist.com/the-collagist/2015/10/6/slower.html
Thanks Cathy!
Sounds a bit depressing – thank goodness you have the chocolate on hand to restore your joie de vivre! I like the look of that one – does it have a filling?
Yes! The 3D ones have ganache fillings, and they are delish!
Oh that does sound sad. I know anything with kids hits me much harder now than it did before I had one.
me too! It’s terrible actually
