Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, hello everybody.
So real quick.
I don't really have much on mylist today that's weighing on my
chest I want to talk about, butthere's a few events that have
come up that I would like toaddress.
For Instagram, I have the JoshBolton show all one word.
Someone feels I have enoughclout in a following to make an
(00:21):
impersonation account of me,both flattered and annoyed at
the same time.
So what they have done isessentially clone my account,
both flattered and annoyed atthe same time.
So what they have done isessentially clone my account.
Added an extra W at the end ofshow.
This is not me, and I can alsotell you why it's not me because
Meta believes I live inLithuania and even though I post
(00:41):
in California, they believe Ilive in Lithuania Because my
account was compromised a longtime ago but I was able to get
it back and that ever since thenhas just believed I personally
am a hacker.
And now it's sending mypassword reset to a different
email completely.
(01:01):
But it shows me.
The last time I've logged inbecause I have a business
account on it was when I lastlogged in for the Marquee
scheduling app, which I had toreturn.
So yeah, that's another bit ofa hiccup.
So if you're seeing me, they'regoing to follow you.
It's not me.
Yeah, that's really annoying,annoying.
(01:24):
So the other thing I want totalk about is short form media.
My well, reason I'm talkingabout is I've been struggling
with it the last few days,specifically short form videos.
It almost seems it doesn'tmatter if it's instagram reels,
youtube shorts, tiktok, whileit's still here in America.
It seems that it intentionallyfollows a pattern, almost like
(01:48):
an emotional torture pattern.
So it shows you something happyand joyful and the next one's
intriguing, kind of joyful, andthen usually the third to the
fifth video starts getting moremorbid, stranger, more weirder
than usually.
Around your sixth video it'sactual, like horror, like you're
(02:11):
, you're like no, this is notsupposed to happen.
Whatever it is, it could be adog stuck, stuck in a trap.
That's what I saw earlier.
Or for me, especially me, Idon't like the overcorrection of
this modern feminism.
I have nothing against womenworking in the fields and stuff
like that, but I don't like itwhen they try to rewrite the
game and play the victim card atthe same time.
(02:33):
Personally, that's just veryimmature kind of thing.
And I'll get to that in asecond because I want to talk
about the publishing industryand my story and my thoughts on
that.
It ties back to this, but yeah,for a short form video it's
going to be hard, but I'm goingto try to abstain as best I can.
When bored, settling on my soft, comfy bed and scrolling
(02:56):
through YouTube shorts, I'mgoing to try to either slowly
lean off it or monitor what I door go cold turkey.
There we go.
I'm not sure which one's goingto work, but I'll figure it out.
I always do.
Yeah, other than that, I amwanting to give you all an
(03:16):
update.
I'm working on a story, kind oflike a indirect bet with one of
my clients that I clean poolsfor.
She said, hey, write me a story, a mystery.
Well, he didn't say whatever.
He's really into mysteries, soI decided to write mystery.
So I'm writing one about MarcusBlackwood.
He's like a former military guythey're in PI.
(03:38):
I know the cliche and the trope.
There's a play into this,though, and essentially he gets
all these different likecrinkets essentially that line
up and he gets this beautifulhistorian doctor and they go on
this epic quest and stuff likethat.
I'm really enjoying the process,and speech to note especially
(03:59):
has been very helpful.
I still write everything outwithin the format.
I try to write as much detailas I can and then have how I
engineered.
My prompt is essentially ittakes, it, enhances the writing,
as if you like gave it to aghost writer or editor, but it
also fixes a couple of spots forpacing, or I might be talking
(04:23):
about a scene on the bridge, butthen it's like, okay, they kind
of go down to the river, so itlike blends it better for me.
So, yeah, that's, that's beenreally fun.
It's another one of those likeit's a good addiction.
I'm getting addicted to writingstories.
I've been creating someinteresting content, short
stories about about 2500 words.
(04:45):
Yeah, I'm trying to work on it.
I'm, when I'm bored and I'm notworking YouTube shorts, I'll
sit on my phone and Create thisadventure where I haven't really
figured out a name for them, Ijust call them like
stereotypical names, like Jack,jill, jill, johnny kind of thing
.
I know three Js, but they allgo on this adventure and stuff
(05:07):
like that, and the cliche isone's really hungry and always
getting into trouble.
One's just a natural perv,always trying to find the pretty
ladies and stuff like that.
And then one's like the overlyarrogant, it's ladies and stuff
like that, and then one's theoverly arrogant.
It's fun, I like it.
Maybe I'll actually makesomething out of that, not sure
(05:27):
yet.
Yeah, once I get to the pointfor Marcus, though, I'm going to
have to figure out what I'mgoing to do with the book.
Do I go to Draft2Digital, whichis essentially just like a
platform that it is a publishingcompany but it's not a
traditional publishing company,and publish my stuff there, or
(05:48):
do I try to go down thetraditional route?
Lately I've been reading a lotof people do this hybrid, where
most of the volume they do isself-publish and the rest is
like by contract Okay, by thisseries, series.
I have to make one book kind ofthing, but you're usually
generously compensated, so Ihaven't figured that part out
yet.
It'll be interesting now forthe publishing industry, as I've
(06:11):
been doing a lot of researchinto it, especially the last two
weeks, as I'm I'm nearing thepoint where I need to consider
hiring an editor or perfectingmy editing prompt and have it do
that.
I'm not sure I'm getting tothat point where I'm looking
into the industry and it'sinteresting.
Essentially, I've noticed thatwhen I go to Barnes Noble
(06:33):
there's a lot more female namesbeing displayed than male.
I mean, it's not bad.
I mean I get it.
Yeah, the traditionally theauthors of pre-20 20 2008 will
even agree that, like jk rowlingwas in like the 90s, she did
(06:56):
well, but jk aren't, you know,instead of saying her full name.
Generally speaking, in the lastdecades or so, there's been a
push for the female voice, butthere's been an extra aggressive
push towards the LGBTQAI+ andthis weird BIPPOO.
I don't know on that one.
It's, I guess, theneurodivergencies and stuff.
(07:19):
As I've looked into it though,having ADHD could count as that,
but squint your eyes.
But I've noticed a lot of.
I've been using ChatGPT 4.0 onthe actual OpenAI app because
there's a web scraping optionand have it pulling up editors
and then I'll like it's reallycreepy what you can have it do.
(07:42):
So I have it pull up their name, their company email, their
contact phone number.
Then also I have it scraping totell me what they want, in
particular for writing, andthat's been really fun and
helpful, saved me a lot ofheadaches, found a couple
editors.
I think I might reach out toone of them to get them on the
show.
(08:02):
Essentially, they say unlessyou're the lgbtqai plus or a
female, and one of them made itthe distinct like asterisk of or
you're the b-i-p-p-o-o thing,whatever it is.
She's like I won't, I probablywill not consider your material
for the goals of inclusion.
(08:23):
I sat there and I was like Goddamn it.
And then the one that she wouldkind of consider my work she's
agent submissions only.
And I sat there and I'm like,okay, so I looked into agents
and I take.
So the publishing houses takeanywhere from 50 to 60% of what
you make, and then the agent cantake anywhere from 10 to 20% of
(08:46):
whatever you make on top ofwhatever the publishing company
takes.
And then the government and Isat there and I'm like, oh my
God, you're literally makingpennies on the dollar kind of
thing.
Yeah, so that editor I'mprobably not going to submit to,
but she might be the one Iinvite on the show.
You never know.
It is interesting, though.
(09:06):
And the extra push for feminismgetting back to that, I don't
agree with it.
I mean, like I said earlier, ifa girl wants to do a man's job,
go for it, but it's like it's aman's game.
But I think so, understand,you're playing a man's game, you
can't change that.
And be respectful, like don'tbe a victim.
Like the oh my God, I'm a woman, you're being mean to me.
(09:29):
It's like and it's a man's game, kind of thing.
I just read a few of the booksrecently written by these female
authors and of diversebackground and all that.
They're not that good.
To be honest, I can't finishthem.
It's almost.
It's repulsive, it scratches mybrain.
(09:50):
It's like they're insulting mewhile telling a story, and I'm
huge on not being insulted ordisrespected.
So lately I'm just not readinga lot of new books in general,
especially if I know if they'regay or a woman, mostly because
it's like it's insulting.
It's like oh, you're aheterosexual man, yeah, wow.
(10:13):
And it's like shut the fuck up,okay, I get it.
Yeah, I'm a straight white man,kind of thing.
It is interesting, though I'msure some publishing company
will eventually see me and likewant me to write for them.
It's gonna be interesting inthe beginning, though, to figure
that out.
Once I finish the marcus one,I'm thinking of actually writing
(10:34):
my original one.
When I was a kid I would see itall the time.
I mean, the story evolved, butI've gotten it back to the
original one, so I'm going toprobably knock that one out.
Next.
That's probably going to be asingle, a mono, like a just
following the main character.
The eight rings, though, mightis.
Well, no, it's not.
It's going to be a multi-pointof view, because there's like
(10:57):
six different characters, supercomplex, involving politics,
religion, magic, betrayal, trust, corporations and greed.
That's kind of my like, mysatire stuff at them, the lgbtq
and feminism the modern feminism, by the way.
(11:20):
I wonder if someone's gonna cutthis out of context, especially
with that instagram guy.
But yeah, I'm, I'm trying tofigure out from there what I'm
gonna do.
I love creating stories, so I'msure I could try different
things and I might just adoptpen names.
So if I get known as themystery fantasy guy and I was
like, well, I want to try myhand at horror kind of thing,
(11:41):
like mental, fuck you up horrorkind of thing, yeah, that might
be a pen name, no biggie on thatone.
The other thing.
So, on all that, once I'mheading out on this one thing I
have been playing with becausemy ADHD at times gets way out of
hand or my motivation or thenovelty of the event is not
(12:05):
intriguing to me what I've beenworking on is essentially a
gamification, essentially so, asI play D&D Dungeons Dragons 5th
edition.
I'm actually reading up on theCur curse of Strahd to work on a
campaign for my family.
I realized I'm like wait, I havea bunch of 20-sided dice.
(12:26):
So what I've been doing istelling ChatGPT to make me a
list Like here's the things Ineed to do, and then make me a
list of 1 through 20 of, like,main quest is clean your room,
clean your floor, clean thecounter, kind of thing.
And then I tell it, okay, nowinclude also important, which is
a little bit less points, funquest and side quests.
(12:49):
And then, like, I give it thepoint value.
It's actually really, reallycool.
So what I've been doing withthat is I'll, like I'm starting
on my floor, it's more of a hotmess than I anticipated.
Yeah, it's been fun.
That's why I just roll my diceor I have a dice roller on my um
phone and work and, uh, justfeel, okay, number 13.
(13:11):
Look at the list, oh, clean thecounters, okay.
And then, um, I'm working at apoint system with me.
So if I do certain writing orcertain um cleaning tasks, I
actually get so many points.
So like, if I get 20 points, Ican go get myself a nice like
(13:31):
chicken strip meal at the dinerI'm going to go to and then um,
stuff like that.
Or then I want to buy a DJIpocket 3 with the microphone and
all that to eventually get tothe point where I'm filming.
There's a whole hot mess ofclean with the editing, though I
don't know about that one, it'sbeen fun.
The the one thing I'm trying tofind an app where I can input
(13:53):
everything and it can give me acalculation, so like if I had
had a 200 points in cleaning butI have like 150 points in
writing, or it could combinethem and tell me I have 350.
I can't really find one and I'mnot sure if I'm supposed to
code one.
I've been talking to thedeveloper of Speech-to-Note and
(14:15):
he says the principle is prettyeasy.
He said the GUI or the graphicuser interface might be a little
tricky.
So I'm not sure if I'm supposedto do coding.
That wouldn't be a good ideawith all my ADHD distractions.
But yeah, so life's good overhere.
Just keep going is the mainthing.
Just keep going and don't worryabout it.
(14:35):
Have fun, have a good one.
Talk to you next time.
Hello, hello everybody.

So what I've been doing withthat is I'll, like I'm starting
on my floor, it's more of a hotmess than I anticipated.
Yeah, it's been fun.
That's why I just roll my diceor I have a dice roller on my um
phone and work and, uh, justfeel, okay, number 13.
(13:11):
Look at the list, oh, clean thecounters, okay.
And then, um, I'm working at apoint system with me.
So if I do certain writing orcertain um cleaning tasks, I
actually get so many points.
So like, if I get 20 points, Ican go get myself a nice like
(13:31):
chicken strip meal at the dinerI'm going to go to and then um,
stuff like that.
Or then I want to buy a DJIpocket 3 with the microphone and
all that to eventually get tothe point where I'm filming.
There's a whole hot mess ofclean with the editing, though I
don't know about that one, it'sbeen fun.
The the one thing I'm trying tofind an app where I can input
(13:53):
everything and it can give me acalculation, so like if I had
had a 200 points in cleaning butI have like 150 points in
writing, or it could combinethem and tell me I have 350.
I can't really find one and I'mnot sure if I'm supposed to
code one.
I've been talking to thedeveloper of Speech-to-Note and
(14:15):
he says the principle is prettyeasy.
He said the GUI or the graphicuser interface might be a little
tricky.
So I'm not sure if I'm supposedto do coding.
That wouldn't be a good ideawith all my ADHD distractions.
But yeah, so life's good overhere.
Just keep going is the mainthing.
Just keep going and don't worryabout it.
(14:35):
Have fun, have a good one.
Talk to you next time.
