Your experiences are so similar to mine, but then INFJs are all very similar people.
The last two years, while I was learning marketing and branding from work, I applied so much of it into some good decisions in branding.
Everything has my Indie David character as the avatar — I’m pushing the Indies are David vs Mainstream Goliath narrative when I can.
I post about indie properties I love, heroes because I’m into super heroes, and branding my hero series with my game - with character sheets for each character!
I like your brand, it’s certainly going to heat up the place!
Second; I can't be the only person who, when you led with your brother's passing, started looking for the bag of talc.... ;-)
Third; amAs a fellow creative just branching out into videos and other media himself, this is an exciting journey, and I think I will stick around and see if I can larn a thang er two!
And lastly; gimmie a holla if you need a harmonica player on that album. Pew pew blues has a nice ring to it!
Haha nah, a few people who know me well enough knew there was some kind of a setup. Maybe not exactly that, but I've earned that distrust and I'm okay with it. :-)
And yes! Hopefully something I've got through experience can help you out, or at least save you a little time/heartache/cash.
I don't know about harmonica, but it seems as if though there is a plan to drag me to karaoke death next LibertyCon, so if you wouldn't mind helping a brother out when it's time for the microphone, I'd sure appreciate it. :-D
As a veteran of the event (and apparently with my own fan club, see my LC AAR for details), I would be honored to help relieve you of your virgin status...With KARAOKE!! erm...that came out wrong...OR DID IT? ;-)
I'm stoked you had the needed revelation. Your creativity extends beyond a single narrow niche. Don't conform to a narrow market. I learned at the beginning of this year to "become the niche" many are looking for. That can only be achieved by being yourself and letting the muse become the imagery.
Thanks for sharing this. Branding's difficult for most indie writers due to a lack of funding, introverted personalities, or they're already jumping on the next project. I'll be at Imaginarium next week discussing strategies with my writing group. Your advice will definitely come up in said discussion. BTW, I just subscribed to your YouTube Channel.
Appreciate that! Introversion is a BS excuse (and I say that as an introversion poster-child). The landscape now is definitely tricky unless you’ve developed some skills in either tech/coding or digital design. I believe anyone can do it, and I’m also down to get anyone on camera and interviewed. No more excuses from cranky authors lol.
I had way too much fun on your homepage because I kept moving my cursor around to cause the thought bubble to move. Anyway, this is great and thank you for sharing your thought process. Branding is HARD. It's so helpful to see someone do it in real time.
Dude! You are amazingly absurd, and I am totally here for it. Thanks for sharing your strategies to help us other creatives get better about our own branding and identity issues.
High energy people need cheap, plentiful, efficient and reliable fuel. Have you considered candy corn? 5 lbs bulk sacks at the Dollar Store for $2.98. Your uncle Floyd's book arrived from Amazon and is now in my bedside reading queue...next up after I finish Tom Kratman's first book (how did I miss that one?). I've lived in Alabama in myself, Huntsville ('59-63) and Lillian ('81). Now reside in Baja Alabama. Floyd might have been uncle, cousin, or dad to some of my earlier friends.
I don't eat candy corn anymore. Weight and health concerns. Anyone who does indulge? I recommend one 500mg Metformin tablet for every 100 tabs of candy corn. Not to exceed 200 cc or ii of the Rx 500's b.d.s., p.c. ¿Claro?
Ever heard of "It's an acquired taste"? No gormand or trencherman ever attained glory by being timid. I never liked coffee until I joined the Navy in 1965. Since then, haven't gone without it for more than 4 days. That was when I had my tonsils out and a debridement of my gullet at age 51. Took 4 days to figure out I could drink iced coffee. I blame the Percocet. The relief was instantaneous, the caffeine being absorbed in my tongue, thence straight to the brain. Try a few candied corn in your next baked sweet potato or pot of pork 'n beans.

INFJ fam! Congratulations and I’m sorry!” 🤣
First: GUDONYA! THIS IS FANTASTIC!

Haha we’ll see what the con brings a year from now. First thing’s first, SCORE TICKETS!
Then comes memorizing SPACE PEW PEW songs. I’m thinking of calling the album, “Songs In The Key Of Uranus.” I think it has a ring to it.
Also, badump crash.
Or songs from the rings of uranus?
I'll see myself out.

Appreciate you, Dann! Thank you! Chase the muse!
Congratulations on your breakthrough! FWIW, Krishna endorses your 'CREATE EVERYTHING WITH RECKLESS DISREGARD OF THE RESULT'.
Funny thing about the title, and likely unique to me -- I read it as a play on 'quell,' and wondered what the hell you were up to.
Anyway, go ahead and quill it!
Ha! Quell never entered my mind, but killing it with fire? Yes. Especially wasps.

Find your way of doing it, and be all-in!

You’re welcome! And I spent a total of at least 20 minutes just moving the cursor around while making the page. 🤣
Amazing work, brother! PS, already secured the perfect accessory for when I finally get to hop on MirthQuake with you.
I saw the order! 😂 Appreciate it! I ordered a bunch of swag. Let me know if fit and feel is good!
Dude! You are amazingly absurd, and I am totally here for it. Thanks for sharing your strategies to help us other creatives get better about our own branding and identity issues.
Appreciate it, Charli! Happy to share!

Uncle Floyd will be an experience. Candy Corn ... that's the worst experience. Evil confectionary nightmare fuel!
