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 :)
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…
Below is my second vlog marking December 2, and a dark turn in the short story advent calendar. The chocolate was delicious as always though, so that’s nice. Unfortunately Pearl and Smokey don’t make any appearances in this video, and my background is a sad gray wall because I hid in my basement while my…
This video is one of my longest yet, but I feel like I say next to nothing in it. Probably because I had no idea how to describe the science fiction story I just read in the advent calendar; it is literally out of this world! I know you’re groaning at the pun, but seriously,…
Oh my, just two more days to go! I’m enjoying the stories but these videos are ALOT of work! Maybe next year I’ll just do social media updates as I work through the calendar or something…
I don’t like to post more than one article a day because I know y’all got lots on, so here are the videos from yesterday and today’s advent calendar unveilings!
I’m squeaking this video in at the last minute here, which is probably a sign of things to come as Christmas draws nearer. But doesn’t the tree look so nice, all lit up as it gets darker outside? One of the few benefits of not recording this video earlier in the day I suppose. Anyway,…

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
