Okay, then let's pray.

23
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.879
Father God, we just thank you, We praise you, we

24
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.680
give you glory, for you alone are worthy to be praised. Now, Lord,

25
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.560
this is your opportunity to do what you do best,

26
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.199
and that set your captives free.

27
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:14.879
Father God, we're gonna lean in.

28
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.520
We're gonna set back, and we're gonna well, we're gonna

29
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.360

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.000
and listen to what you have to say. And we

31
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.479

35
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.120
so much. Now, Father, please, we're gonna get behind the cross,

36
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.560

The load is off of you. You ain't got to

41
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.439
see those classmates anymore.

42
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:53.960
Huh.

43
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.080
I want to go back? Oh Lord, something wrong with us?

I know y'all out there, amen, ain't meen, ain't meen.

49
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.319
Well I understand. I know, because when you've been in

50
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.639
school all your life, of the majority of your life,

51
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.919
it is hard that you don't have to get up

52
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.520
in the morning and you got to study. And she

53
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.240
spent the weekend just throw out our papers and stuff.

54
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.960
I think we cleared out of the thousand emails of

55
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.319
you know, from school works.

56
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.639
She's working on that. She hasn't worked on that yet,

57
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:35.800
but she's got to get to that.

58
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.840
Congratulations, And I'm just so excited for her and her endeavors.

59
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.680
And she's already planning, she's already planning, you know, and

60
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.520
getting content together and getting ready to just now she's

61
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.800
gonna say, now all that I've learned, I'm gonna roll

62
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.120
it up.

63
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.599
Now I'm gonna put it to the test. Here we go,

64
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.120
Here we go. So I'm proud of her, and it's exciting.

65
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:58.000
It's exciting.

66
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:05.560
Well another like, man, there she is, Yes, there she is.

67
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.680
Look at that picture. Look at that picture. Okay, there

68
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:10.800
you go, there you go.

69
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.919
I've got ten complimentary copies. I haven't even looked at it.

70
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.480
I mean I flipped through it. It's a different type

71
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.519
of font, it's a different type of writing.

72
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.600
I was just like, I got to get this out.

73
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.120
But I know I did it.

74
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:25.879
It's exciting.

75
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.040
Oh and let me show her back too, because that's

76
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.160
talks a little bit about man. Show you her back

77
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.600
there a little bit. I know it's backwards here, but

78
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:34.920
bring it close to the picture.

79
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.079
Oh yeah, Oh yes, that looks Oh wow.

80
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.399
That's my little pitt. That's my pet. That's my that's Harry.

81
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:46.959
That's Harry.

82
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.199
He got his scars too. It's nothing about them, it's

83
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.040
not it's something about having those war wounds. And when

84
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.120
I first saw the picture that my photographer came up with,

85
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.519
I was like, wow, I said, but he's got to

86
00:04:59.519 --> 00:04:59.959
have a scar.

87
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.439
It's got to have a scar. And uh, it's just

88
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.480
it just lined up.

89
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.720
And I know once a graphic department at the publishers

90
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.079
got it.

91
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.000
I know they just had to sit there in it.

92
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.759
They had to sit in it. Thank you, thank you,

93
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.759
thank you. Amen. Amen, Come on, everybody, I know y'all

we're gonna be showing up.

103
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.639
We're showing up. And it's about writing the vision and

104
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.399
making it play.

105
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.199
You want to talk about self publishing, We're gonna have

106
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.639
a part one tonight. We've got a guest next week,

and then the following week we're gonna do part two. Okay,

108
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.199
but I hope you brought some pen and paper. If not,

109
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.079
if you're just listening, that is amazing. This is book five, Yes,

110
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.079
Anastasia Book five. I wasn't even trying to do book one, okay,

111
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.600
I really was it. Everybody for years, Oh you should

112
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.360
write a book. No, I'm not writing a book, leave

113
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.639
me alone. But I did it, you know, like I said,

114
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.399
you know, the first one took me twelve years because

115
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.279
I was in denial. I was in denial. There's no

116
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.000
way I'm going to write a book. And there's no

117
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:21.560
way I'm going to.

118
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.279
I'm not a writer.

119
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.800
Even though I've written grants with a team before I

120
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.480
reviewed grants, I've written my you know, my papers and

121
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.360
project papers in school and all that kind of stuff,

122
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.720
and I did well, thank you Lord, But me an author,

123
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.040
I wasn't even on the to do list. Was it

124
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.879
even nothing to think about it. I'm trying to read

125
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.120
everybody else's book. That's why it took me twelve years.

126
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.279
Second book three months start to finish. On the street,

127
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.160
I was no longer in denial.

128
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.360
Third book, here I am. I'm getting it, ready to

129
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:51.680
write it.

130
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.600
Then all of a sudden I'm writing it, starting it off,

131
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.360
first few chapters, and then all of a sudden, I'm

132
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.759
in the hospital and my whole life changed, and I'm

133
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.759
like and all I can think about, oh, I'm okay,

134
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.000
I'm finally gonna get to go home. And the Lord

135
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.199
says to me, yes, you're going home to finish the book.

136
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.480
Finish the book? What? Yeah, you got to finish the book.

137
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.959
And I'm like, okay, and it's a book it was

138
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.600
inside of Yes, you brought it out, congratulates, they give

139
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.800
me steed, they give me stee and you don't know,

140
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.079
so don't don't bury your gifts. I got a T

141
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.319
shirt that says, don't get too comfortable in your purpose.

142
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.720
And what that means is your purpose is ever if

143
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.800
you're still waking up every day and you're catching a

144
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.000
new breath, you're getting a.

145
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.839
New start, a new lease on life. It's not over.

146
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.360
Don't think that because you're doing this one job and

147
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.399
this is where you're going to stay until you retire,

148
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.199
you don't know what all you got to do within

149
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.000
that job. Don't cut God off like that. If anything

150
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.879
you learned from me is that, Wow, Miss Gray was

151
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.759
like she just I mean, I just kept I'm continuing

152
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.480
to be revolving and evolving and repurposed in God.

153
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.079
I don't. I'm not nowhere near my end. I'm nowhere

154
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.839
near my end. You aren't either.

155
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.720
Again, here's a person that never said I wanted to

156
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.360
write a book.

157
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.040
Also never said I wanted to have.

158
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.360
Twins either, But look who's here not so much now.

159
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.480
Never said I wanted to be owner of a business,

160
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.839
and never thought I would. I have my own assistant

161
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.399
living facility, never thought that I would. I wanted to

162
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.399
be a teacher. I wanted to be a performer. So

163
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.639
those are the two things and performing. Getting back to

164
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.000
the stage was my biggest one. To be honest with you,

165
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.360
that was my biggest one. I wanted to get back

166
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.399
to the stage. I remarried, moved to Orlando. One of

167
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.519
I told them is the History Center downtown. They're looking

168
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.440
for an actress to portray doctor Mary Macleodpathune.

169
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.480
And I'm like, oh my.

170
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.559
God, what I could do that And was there for

171
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:47.000
fifteen years performing Mary Maclopthune, doctor Mary Maclapethuneathune Cook the

172
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.039
College out of Daytona Beach, Bessie Coleman, who is the

173
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.759
first female American aviator, not Amelia Earhart.

174
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.399
I know I'm breaking some hearts, but you checked the

175
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.240
dates because.

176
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.000
Amelia went and looked for Bessie to ask her to

177
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.840
teach her how to fly. And in my little ad

178
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.840
lib in props the performance, I said, I didn't teach you.

179
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.799
I taught her how to find, but she came. I

180
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.200
taught her how to find. I didn't teach you how

181
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.360
to get lost. And I've got some people that turn

182
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.240
beat red when I say that, But check the dates.

183
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.200
That surprised me because we're told so much about history. Sorry, guys,

184
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.440
with this, I had popcorn earlier. So I think I

185
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.039
got it. I thought I brushed everything out my teeth.

186
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.720
But anyway, you know, so you know, we believe everything

187
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.000
we're told. That's how we're raised. You're supposed to respect

188
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.759
your elders, believe the pastor uh, you know, respect the principal,

189
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.039
respect those in authority, and.

190
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.279
Only to find out, wait a minute, that's not. That's

191
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.360
not the truth. That's not that's not how that goes.

192
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.440
And all kinds of history is coming out now, all

193
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.559
kinds of revelation is coming out now.

194
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.600
Okay, don't get bombed into it, but just kind of

195
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.080
listen in for a little bit, see what the chatter

196
00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:58.960
is all about.

197
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.120
And then I trade Maryanne Carroll, who was the only

198
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.279
female in the visual artist group called the Highwaymen out

199
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.240
of Fort Pierce, Florida. She's the only female with twenty

200
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.039
six men painting because and back in those days, black

201
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.320
people were not allowed in the finer galleries and history

202
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.720
centers and doctors' offices. They would stop on the highway literally,

203
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.600
like pull up at a.

204
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.639
Parking lot of grocery store. I have flavor popcor okay,

205
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.000
I like flavor of corn. Some mess.

206
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.240
Okay, we're gonna have a show about what's your favorite snack,

207
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.039
and we're gonna talk about that. And they would pull

208
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.279
make their own frames out of discarded wood and people

209
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.159
trash piles and stuff. They couldn't go in stores and

210
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.840
buy that, so they made that those frames. And you

211
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.399
can look up up on YouTube the Highwaymen, it's on

212
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.840
there a lot of documentation on them. But she was

213
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.240
the only female, and I portrayed her for over many years.

214
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.440
And I got a chance to meet her three times too,

215
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.399
to let her know, I'm portraying you here at the

216
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.360
History Center. We need to know true history. Yeah, and

217
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.879
give respect to the people, yeah, mickey, And and this

218
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.559
is so much, it's so much. And I have one

219
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.720
of my former students. She went back home up North

220
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.799
Ohio to do a project, and you know, when they

221
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.200
started pulling funding, she was like, oh, I can't.

222
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:17.600
I'm not She placed it.

223
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.240
She put on her she posts it on her uh Facebook, like,

224
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.639
you know, I can't do it. When we would do it,

225
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.519
they pulling funding and I called her immediately.

226
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.480
I said, what you're talking about? You got the history

227
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.879
in you. I could set you up to do storytelling

228
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.440
and travel around the world. What's wrong with you? What's wrong?

229
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.559
We can't we can't just get bogged down to what's happening.

230
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.200
You all have gifts, skills, and talents. Many of you

231
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.320
have been doing things since you've been listening to us,

232
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.000
approaching people, strangers, handing out things, giving things, listening to

233
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.120
folks stories, listening to the kids that you're transported. You

234
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.840
know you've got gifts that you never thought you were utilized.

235
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.440
You didn't you yourself didn't know what has come out

236
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.440
of you. But it's in there and it's got to

237
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.600
come up. It's got the surface so that we could

238
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.720
continue doing the work.

239
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.399
Tennessee is in the house, you know.

240
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.320
So yeah, So if you don't remember anything about me

241
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.200

Just know that. Wow.

243
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.320
Miss Gray always talked about this. Don't get too comfortable

244
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.000
at your job. Don't get too comfortable in the relationship.

245

Don't get too comfortable with the car you drive. Don't

Don't get If you are a believer, I double dare

249

268
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.679
But Jesus had already We needed the guy that you

269
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.919

00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.360
you were ready to do this, and we were ready

277
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.759
to oblige. But God is God has had I think

278
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.240
I was sharing this with Brother Stephen that you know,

279
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.799
God has had to back up, go find us as

280
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.679
for some of us, provoke us to where we need

281
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.679
to be. And you had to leave people behind. You

282
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.559
couldn't bring everybody because everybody I don't think. I just

283
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.399
you got those You got them, and you got to

284
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.679
identify them. You can still love them at a distance.

285
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.960
But guess what, I can't take you with me. I

286
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.799
can't bring everybody with me. And I don't mind the

287
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.799
space now, I don't mind it at all.

288
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:30.600
Amen.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.879
All right? So you all asked self publishing, how do

293
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:40.559
Now?

294
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.320
I know most of you, there's some of you who

295
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.759
listening to us through radio or you're driving right now.

296
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.320
Things like that, you don't.

297
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.799
Have pen and paper, man, you don't have pen and paper,

298
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.879
so you can go back the show made the actions

299
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.720
getting into motion.

300
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.879
You are ready, Mickey.

301
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.080
I know you keep trying to follow it back to us,

302
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.720
but I got to bollow it back to you. You

303
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.399
are ready, baby girl. And you've heard the saying when

304
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.960
the student is ready, the teacher will come when you're ready,

305
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:05.919
when you're ready.

306
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.039
To not be you know, allowed to be locked in

307
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.000
that cage anymore, you know.

308
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.320
And I've shared the revelation I got when I had

309
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:19.559
my last MPTEE amputation rather about you know, thinking outside

310
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.320
the box. The box is your education. The box is

311
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.919
your education. There's no room for creativity.

312
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.000
You got. It's black and white. It's black and white.

313
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.279
It's do do do, it's.

314
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.399
Yes or no. It's no time for thinking. This is

315
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.240
the way we change this an ivy bag. This is

316
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.000
the way we do case management. This is the way

317
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.879
we paint, this is the way we operate. It's black

318
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.360
and white. Literally, So that is the box. Everybody said, well,

319
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.879
you got to think outside the box yet, because outside

320
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.000
the box it's the creativity. But what you have to

321
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.399
do is you got to learn the job. So you

322
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.080
got ninety days to get it down pack to understand

323
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.080
the laws.

324
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.440
And the expectations of that job.

325
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:09.320
That's why they give you three months, along with some shadowing, along.

326
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.080
With some supervision.

327
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.279
But you got three months, and on that ninety first day,

328
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.799
they're gonna try you and see, okay, are you did

329
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.159
you get it?

330
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.360
Did you understand it?

331
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.240
And all the jobs I've ever had, I went by

332
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.679
the rules, black and white.

333
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.600
Oh okay.

334
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:28.120
But after the ninety third day, the ninety fifth day,

335
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.600
I was on my own. You nobody watching me. Now

336
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.759
They're like, okay, she's good, she's in thank you. What

337
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.679
do I need to do Now?

338
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.720
I'm gonna make this a little bit more fluffy here.

339
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.879
I'm gonna make this more accommodating for me.

340
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.720
And like I said that night, nurse, she could not understand.

341
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.240
She didn't understand. She wasn't listening to me because I.

342
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.120
Said, are the cords flawed? Is there somebody you should call?

343
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.000
No, I'm gonna need to call anybody, And she kept

344
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.039
bringing batteries. It wasn't the battery, it was the leads

345
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.759
in the machine attached to my heart. That's the clearest

346
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.480
message title. You ain't nothing yet. Okay, See I can't

347
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.120
make this up.

348
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.920
You haven't.

349
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.240
The best is yet to come. It's the ladder rain.

350
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.720
It's the ladder rain, it's what's to come. And that

351
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.039
nurse was probably documented and written up that night when

352
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.519
a supervisor had to come, bring the leads of my device,

353
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.480
and she said, here, put these on, and the supervisor

354
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:22.960
looked them in.

355
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:23.920
I did like this.

356
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.119
I never saw that nurse again the rest of the night.

357
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.799
I had a new nurse who won't be up two

358
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:35.799
hours later. Hey, all right. In the Book of Habacca,

359
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.839
Old Testament, and it sounds it spelt just like that Tobacco,

360
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.680
chapter two, verses two.

361
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.359
But I want to go to verse one, because this is.

362
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:50.079
Habacca himself herself saying, I will stand upon my watch

363
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.680
and set me upon the tower, and we'll watch to

364
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.079
see what he will say unto me, and what I

365
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:57.880
shall answer.

366
00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.680
When I'm approved. We'reproved.

367
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:01.799
Now I want to go. Let me tell you who

368
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.920
Habaka is, okay or in the history. All right, Oh,

369
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.319
you're trying to be funny. I had it right there,

370
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.720
and then it's taking it down. Hang on, man, guys,

371
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.160
hang on just a second. Okay, accordingly, hang on just

372
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.960
a second. You know, the devil is stupid. You're really

373
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:21.680
trying to you think you're gonna mess me up, You're

374
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.440
now going to do that.

375
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.200
Okay.

376
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.759
Habacca Well was active around six twelve BC. Was a

377
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.559
prophet whose oracles and prayer are recorded in the Book

378
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.240
of Tobacco, which is what he wrote. Okay, where's the

379
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.079
one hang on, guys, I'm sorry, I.

380
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.119
Thought it'd be interesting because he's he was a poet.

381
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.400
He was a poet.

382
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.720
And wait till you see what you know? I you

383
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.720
know who was Okay, let me just do this. It

384
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.559
was a heat guys in the yet amen amen? Okay.

385
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:51.359
He was an.

386
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.559
Ancient Hebrew prophet and poet who lived in the late

387
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.119
seventy seventh century. He is the author of the Book

388
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.240
of Tobacco, of course, and he's's the eighth book of

389
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.799
the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible, the eighth book.

390
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.000
Everything is strategic, all right, Let me get on over

391
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.640
here and go where I was going here. So here

392
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.319
is this poet. He's also a prophet. He can see

393
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.839
it to the future, and he had a most research

394
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.400
I saw earlier said that he had the most profound

395
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.359
relationship with God because he always waited on it.

396
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.839
And see what he said in verse one. I will watch.

397
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.559
I'm gonna set myself on the tower, and i will

398
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.160
see what he will say unto me, and what I

399
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.200
shall answer when I'm reproved when God tells me to answer,

400
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.759
I'm gonna wait waiting. There's a keyword there, hisse the

401
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.400
famous verse two. And the Lord answered me and said,

402
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.839
write the vision. What is there meaning in the numbers? Yes, yes, yeah,

403
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.720
we'll talk about that another time, but yes, and the

404
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.839
station write the vision and make it plain.

405
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.960
This is God answering him now and.

406
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.480
Making a plan upon the tables that he may run

407
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:57.400
that readeth it.

408
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:57.759
Now.

409
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.359
This is where people kind of get this wrong or

410
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.480
they air because they don't wait. You're to write the

411
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.680
vision right, but you got to make it plain so

412
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.480
that he that readeth it will run with it at

413
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.119
its appointed time. This is where people give up on God. God,

414
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.000
you told me to do this. I heard you tell

415
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.960
me to do this, and uh, I don't I you know,

416
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.839
I don't know what you're where are you?

417
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:25.640
You're not answering me?

418
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:28.359
God said, no, just write it down, just get it,

419
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.279
get the formulation. When you're trying to build a house,

420
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.839
they don't just go and put the make the roof,

421
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.960
and then like no, they laid the what foundation. Then

422
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.920
they start with the beams and and and and the

423
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.880
and the structure.

424
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.920
Okay, so that they the roof is the last thing

425
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.039
they put on the house.

426
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.839
Then they start to fill in everywhere else. You got

427
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.279
to have the foundation.

428
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.440
So that heed that make it plain, so that he.

429
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.960
That readeth it will run with it at its appointed time.

430
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.079
Sometimes you're the runner because everything has a time and place.

431
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.559
God is a god of time. Place is important. You

432
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.440
have to be at the what right place at the

433
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.519
what right time.

434
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.480
Okay.

435
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.799
So here this is the first of the teaching of

436
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.880
how to become a publisher.

437
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.279
Write the vision? Do you have? What is the vision?

438
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.680
What is the book about? Is it?

439
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.440
Is it a book of poetry? Is it a fiction book?

440
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.440
Is it a nonfiction book? You need to do this

441
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.000
is your homework. Now, I'm not going to explain too much.

442
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.000
You got to pick out what's what's okay, what's my homework?

443
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.480
The books I have written are all faith based, motivational,

444
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:43.599
life changing life events. That's what I'm categorized under. Okay,

445
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:46.039
so you need to know what what what are you writing?

446
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.720
And don't be scared. I just told somebody this weekend. No,

447
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.920
you need to write the book like an outline before writing. Yes, Mickey,

448
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.400
you're going to go back to high school. Remember when

449
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:56.880
you had to write that essay. You had to write

450
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.759
a draft. You had to come up with the subject.

451
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.160
I'm sorry, come up with the subject, didn't write the draft.

452
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.039
Didn't get your supporting sentences.

453
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.440
You had to come up with what the thesis statement?

454
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.000
Which is that one sentence that that whole thing is about.

455
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.960
Then the next few paragraphs you've got to come up

456
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.559
with uh supporting evidence. Now, miss Ky, you help me

457
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.640
on this because I think now the style of writing

458
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.319
in school.

459
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:33.759
Is called soap, right, It's called soap back then? Anyway,

460
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.640
So what is it now? What's there's no necessary format.

461
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.319
Let it just tells you to like I'll say, back

462
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:42.920
when I was like in high school.

463
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.920
Yeah, but like college level.

464
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.119
Okay, fine, anyway, there's an outline.

465
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.640
You want to outline. What are you talking about? What's

466
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.000
the the what's the theme of the book. Now, this

467
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.680
particular book is my autobiography.

468
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.000
I've had this title for years, even before I wrote

469
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.039
the first book, which is Profits in the Projects, because

470
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:05.440
of all I had been through at an early age.

471
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.240
I was born to take the hit, and I knew

472
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.200
I wanted a lion on the cover of the book.

473
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.799
Never thought it was gonna come to past never and

474
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.240
it wouldn't have come to pass this round. But you know,

475
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.960
folks started wrestling and like, you know, I have prepaid

476
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.319
for a package deal with my publisher and I'll get

477
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.119
it to all of that. And they're like, well, you know,

478
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:26.880
you don't only have a year. And I'm like, wait

479
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.680
a minute, my years about to be up.

480
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.599
What do you mean? So I go to God God,

481
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.880
they make it. They're gonna try to make me and

482
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.200
they're not gonna give me back my money. Then I

483
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.359
don't wanna give me a percentage back blah blah blah.

484
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.839
And then here do you do this? Does this look

485
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.240
for me? And God and God and.

486
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:49.160
Hm hm God hm these people they make me know

487
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:51.079
the books have to be long a short format for

488
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.480
certain types of books. I mean, that's what it depends

489
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.759
on the publishing company that you're going with. I would say,

490
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.000
as a as a newbie to this, even though written

491
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.839
five books, now write the book and see how it

492
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.279
comes out. Don't work with anybody that's gonna shorten it.

493
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.160
And give you all these Okay, you can only do

494
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.759
it five by seven and eight by six frame, and

495
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.240
I wouldn't like to get muddled in that, because then

496
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.279
you're trying.

497
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.200
To reshape the book.

498
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:20.880
Whatever is in your heart, whatever is on your mind

499
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.359
that you want to write about, and you're feeling led

500
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:25.519
to write, go ahead and write it out.

501
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.680
I don't care if it's five hundred pages.

502
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.440
Go ahead and write it out, and then you could

503
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.160
trim it later if you need to, because I write.

504
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:34.160
You know now.

505
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.240
One thing the publishing company, one of the features they

506
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.960
have is that they got a group and they could

507
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.559
be one person that reads all the all and then

508
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.960
gives you some constructive criticism. And the first thing they

509
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.559
said was miss Gray writes like she thinks, so I

510
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.319
think they've been listening to the show, or like she speaks.

511
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.440
And I'm like, okay, there's only one way they would

512
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:54.640
know this, because they don't know me.

513
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.839
Do you have to pick a drum up before writing it?

514
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.079
No, Miss, it's on you. Then you find somebody, you know.

515
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.079
That is where I'm at with my fictional Okay, you know.

516
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.039
You you write the book. Go ahead, don't get, don't get.

517
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.599
Don't worry about the confines and rules and rags of

518
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.720
the publishing company. Go ahead and write the book. God

519
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.720
has placed it in you. Write the poetry. If he's

520
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.960
got that in, you carry that out. Write the diary,

521
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.200
write the the journal, rite whatever it is.

522
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.240
Write it. Go ahead and write it. Get it done.

523
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:26.880
Think about the pictures.

524
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.119
Just just stay in that in that arena, stay in

525
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.920
that atmosphere if you would, for the minute, just for

526
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.200
a minute, because all this other stuff.

527
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.920
Is going to get you confused.

528
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.640
That's why I'm not the God is not gonna let

529
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.440
me go that route. Don't get caught up in that.

530
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:43.279
That's why the publishing company had to print it as is.

531
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.680
They came back and said, well, the printing, you know,

532
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.960
this is non traditional, you know, and we would thinking

533
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.440
I disregarded that printed. I checked for some spelling errors.

534
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:55.880
That's all I did print it because this is how

535
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.200
it came out of me. This is how God wants it,

536
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:00.480
this is how my type is typed it. That's and

537
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.160
she was praying as well, so she was been led

538
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.680
by God.

539
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:06.680
It's very different, very different from all my books. And

540
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.519
it's thicker. Who is thicker? So anyway, so what you

541
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:13.319
want to do is start writing now.

542
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:16.400
Now that we are in the era of technology, you

543
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.920
could get you could use the recording device that you

544
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.279
that comes with your phone. But what I have done

545
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.119
I went on to get a m as in Mary

546
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:28.319
PS and Paul three recording device out of my play store.

547
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.680
It was two reasons.

548
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:35.160
The twins had to Hey tennessee amen.

549
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:37.240
I went to my play store.

550
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:42.880
Of the twins had was taking Spanish and the teacher said,

551
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:47.119
get the MP three player, record your homework and submit

552
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.599
that via email. So I was like wow, and it

553
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.319
was clear and everything. So my former typist she's like,

554
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.160
oh wow, this is really clear because there were no

555
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.839
more recorders left over the folk. The man at office

556
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.559
depot said, well, you could go on to maybe you know,

557
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:06.000
maybe Amazon has some recorders, but there are no recorders anymore.

558
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:09.119
That's what I did for the first two books. I

559
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.599
was like, oh my god, what is this? So I

560
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.480
am speaking into and then when I was started doing

561
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.240
some voice acting. That's how my agent Will wanted the

562
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:23.119
or the request or wanted the dialogue return back to

563
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.480
them doing you know, through an MP three recorder. It's

564
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.960
clear anybody typing it or listening to it.

565
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.200
You can hear. It's very It's just Krispy Klean, and

566
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.799
I've adopted that forever.

567
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:36.720
So every time I've changed the phone, I go in

568
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.440
my play store and get the m P three recording device.

569
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.880
I get the one that's free for first ten minutes,

570
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:46.559
first ten minutes. Okay, that's a whole little discussion there,

571
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.279
understanding how that works.

572
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.400
So you don't have to write it anymore. Now, I

573
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:51.640
got my writers out there that.

574
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:53.599
You know, you got your notebooks and you want to

575
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.960
handwrite it, and that's fine, but you're gonna need unless

576
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.599
you're gonna type it. You're gonna need somebody to type it.

577
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.319
And it's always great to have it on a recorder already,

578
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.160
so all you have to do is just be. You

579
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:10.240
got to go back and change the rename the session. Okay,

580
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:11.839
you got to go back and rename it. So you

581
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.240
got to keep up. Okay, this is chapter one, chapter two,

582
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.920
And as you know, do you find it easy to

583
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.640
record or write?

584
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.119
Oh? No, Mickey, especially since this recording it.

585
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:23.119
Recording it because I can give direction while i'm I

586
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:24.160
go back and I listen.

587
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.319
After my typist will type it up.

588
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.119
She'll send me a draft and I'm looking at it,

589
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.079
I said, okay, line number forty, you know that whole sentence,

590
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:35.799
take that out, you know. And I recorded the revisions.

591
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.559
I recorded them and will send them back. And so

592
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.160
I said, revisions for chapter one, third chapter, third paragraph,

593
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.319
first line, you know, And it just worked that way.

594
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.519
It's much easier to me. Now I do have my

595
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.759
writers out there that you know, they got their pencil

596
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.079
and paper. Pen and paper, that's fine, whatever's comfortable. But

597
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.480
get the book out of you, get the project out

598
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:56.799
of you.

599
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.519
Just do something, Lisa, if I yeah, if I can interject,

600
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:06.200
but I think there are some programs that if you

601
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.960
or I don't know, iPad, iPhone or something that.

602
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:13.319
If you write it down, it has a way of

603
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:17.359
it can transpose it into text, so it'll take your

604
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.680
handwriting and transport it like it like it's typewritten. So

605
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.319
I've explored some stuff like that, but that's something that

606
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:25.160
they can look into. So if you want to write

607
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.799
it and then they have it transpost where its like

608
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.559
it's typewritten.

609
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.920
Amen, there you go see, and there's all kinds of

610
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.119
devices out there. Now, there's all kinds of stuff out there.

611
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.759
Even your your your PC. You can sit there and

612
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.359
record it.

613
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.799
And it'll type it out for you, you know, and

614
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.279
stuff like that.

615
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.799
You have to activate the little that little you know,

616
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.920
that's that little portal, but it'll do that. So just

617
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.880
get it out, can you.

618
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.359
Just if you feel that you're you, it's meant for

619
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:55.359
you to write something, Write your story, write about your experience,

620
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.839
write poetry. I have one of my spiritual daughters as

621
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.960
a poet poets, have her books here as a matter

622
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.000
of fact, that I've been giving out and stuff like

623
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:04.440
that that I purchased.

624
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.599
And you know, she's a published. Thank you brother, Steven, okay,

625
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.200
voice to text, thank you. So, you know, just get

626
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:13.799
it out of you. Just go do it right now.

627
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:18.079
The world is stilling books. Not everybody's reading an e book.

628
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.240
Not everybody's who wants to be spoken back to. People

629
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.480
are actually I've seen them go to the library and

630
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:26.799
they're looking for books.

631
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.880
They're reading books. I've seen them at the bookstore a

632
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.559
cart full of books. I know people who have started

633
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:33.880
book clubs, a tea club.

634
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.440
One of Belisia's for a classmate's mom and her husband

635
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.880
was she started a little tea club.

636
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.079
It's a whole club.

637
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.079
They live in Hawaii now, but they sit and they

638
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.759
discussed the book of the hour, and they dragged.

639
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.640
Tea in their favorite little tea cups.

640
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.880
And she travels a lot around the world and she

641
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.839
collects tea cups and she purchased I think she places

642
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:57.359
them on her website to be sold.

643
00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:59.759
There's an idea she's making.

644
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.839
He's got about five six streams of income. Amazon has

645
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.359
also started a feature. One of my spiritual sons was

646
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.480
telling me about it, and some of his little books

647
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:10.839
are on there. So look into Amazon. They've got a

648
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.200
whole thing where they help.

649
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.680
You to produce, to reproduce your book.

650
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.480
Okay, so there are options out there, but you got

651
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:19.160
to do your homework and look, but just.

652
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.480
Get it out, get it on paper. First.

653
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.720
My best friend wrote a haircare book. I just found

654
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:27.160
it the other day. I asked her daughter if I

655
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.400
could have it. I will get it published. But she

656
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.480
typed it on a typewriter in red ink, and I'm like, now,

657
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:34.599
what am I supposed to.

658
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:35.200
Do with this?

659
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:37.680
But it's a little pocket primmer, a little pocket path

660
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:39.359
and my daughter and I were going to do a

661
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.759
little tag team and stuff like that to see just

662
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.839
to get it out there.

663
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.640
It's gonna probably be in a binder.

664
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:46.680
I'd probably go to office depot and have them bind

665
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:49.640
it and call it a day, you know. But it's

666
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.400
real stuff, and there's stuff I didn't know about her,

667
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.240
and I'm reading this and I'm like, oh wow, wow

668
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.759
that she placed in the book. We have any questions,

669
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.559
We're gonna pick some questions back, go ahead.

670
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.359
Was I was just comment.

671
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.640
You can also do manuals, you know, if you're if

672
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:07.160
you have an expertise in something, and you know, sometimes

673
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.279
when people if you ever have gotten directions or or

674
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.240
or had something that you had to put together, and

675
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.920
the directions are not that simple, you know, they're they're

676
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.680
they're very it's kind of complicated. So you can even

677
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:25.359
create something where you're maybe redoing the instructions in a

678
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.359
simpler manner, but people can understand it because it's difficult,

679
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:30.640
you know.

680
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.319
They said that you should.

681
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.559
Probably have somebody that maybe teaches a lower grade to

682
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:41.400
to to kind of transpose it so people can understand it,

683
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.359
because it can get complicated with the wording. But you

684
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.440
have a manual, any type of manual, if you have

685
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.920
expertise and something you know, you can do that handyman

686
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.519
or how fix it even you know with the YouTube

687
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:55.119
they do that.

688
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.000
Go ahead, you can make that virtual as well.

689
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.119
People really like enjoy stuff like that, to where you

690
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:04.920
sell it online and stuff like that.

691
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.480
So just to give you some other a couple of

692
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.440
what are your thoughts on graphic novels. Is it just

693
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:16.079
it's just hard to find the artist for the right price. Well,

694
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:19.839
I think, Misty, once you've written it, once you're once

695
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.920
you get started, you'd be surprised who God will have

696
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.759
to come along and you just happen to be talking

697
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.279
about it talking to them. I was at a PTA

698
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.640
meeting and one of my colleagues. I was telling her

699
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.039
my daughter wanted to start a handbag line and she's like, oh.

700
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.240
Okay, said, well, you know my mom made drapes. My

701
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.839
mom made drapes out of New York. I was like what.

702
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:43.000
So it was just a conversation.

703
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.480
We're at a meeting and we just had some time

704
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.400
to kill and I'm just telling, you know, just talking

705
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.640
out loud, and sure enough the first handbag line, this lady,

706
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.920
you know, Maddie's mom made like twelve handbags based on

707
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:59.079
belissi Is drawings. Yeah, And I went to the house

708
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.440
we went to the meter her and everything and give

709
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:03.319
it the drawings and stuff. And she goes, well, come

710
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:05.480
see my garage because I brought my sewing machines all

711
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.400
the way from New York. The two car garage was

712
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:12.400
a sewing room. Looked like Project Runway. Okay, I didn't

713
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:14.920
know that there was that many sewing machines. And all

714
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:18.719
twelve machines are all different. One for corduroy, one for

715
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:22.199
gene type material, one for silk. I'm like, And she

716
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.679
had the drawing table, the cutting table right in the middle.

717
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.119
I'm like, I am, I am just And.

718
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:31.719
She made shears and draperies, so you never know who's

719
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:35.480
out there. Don't worry about that even get the material

720
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.800
out of you. Get the material out of you. And

721
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.000
another suggestion I would make, write it down, get it

722
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.360
all out, record it. Whatever you have to do right

723
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:46.840
a secretary will come. You could type it up if

724
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.800
you want or whatever. Then leave it alone, save it on.

725
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.559
Your computer or your recording device.

726
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:54.960
Leave it alone, walk away from it for a day,

727
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:57.320
get it out of your mind. Day or two later,

728
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.360
come back and read it as if you're reading something

729
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.119
for the first time, or listen to it as you

730
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:05.639
listening to it for the first time, and you'd be like, oh, no,

731
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.320
I don't want that in that Oh did I say that?

732
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.599
Whoops? And my type is I can say I'm um

733
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:12.760
and she will type umni.

734
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.239
And ill you know, and I'll be talking to myself like, no, no,

735
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:18.760
I don't, I don't. I don't think I want to

736
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:22.119
say that and were italics. I don't think I want

737
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:26.440
to say that. So she's triggering me at different spots

738
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:28.079
to bring it to my attention.

739
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.639
But I mean, I'm like, did I say that? You know?

740
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:32.400
I'm repeating myself.

741
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:36.000
That's another thing when you're recording, you I accidentally repeat

742
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.719
yourself and you don't know it. And so she types

743
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.239
it just as she hears it, which both of my

744
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:44.199
typists would do that. But let me go to somescripture

745
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.960
here real quick in Revelations one in nineteen right there

746
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.840
for the things that you have seen, those that are,

747
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.719
and those that are to take place after this, and

748
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:57.159
that was you know, God talking to John in the

749
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.719
Book of Revelation, right, write what you see, write the

750
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.480
things that you see, and that thing that that they're

751
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.599
going to take that's taking place right now, and that's

752
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:07.639
going to take place.

753
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:09.480
There are times we can write things.

754
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:11.840
God will direct you to write the future if you

755
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:14.280
have to give the prophecy. How much do you need

756
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.440
to write before you put it? To put it down

757
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:18.800
for the moment before coming back. I write chapters, I go,

758
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.840
I go for a while, because once you get started,

759
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.679
it's gonna be. It's gonna it's so funny. Your body's like.

760
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.920
Okay, let's let's do this, Okay this, Oh wow, I'm

761
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:27.199
just oh.

762
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:29.320
I just talked about that because chapter three, you know what,

763
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.760
chapter five, that's gonna be chapter five. I'll come back

764
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:33.880
to chapter five. But that you know, I mean you

765
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:37.480
you can't stop it when you get started. I'm telling you,

766
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:38.119
you just started.

767
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:38.679
Ah.

768
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.800
I'm just sitting here thinking. I think that's the first

769
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:43.800
thing I say. Just sit in here, thinking like what

770
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.079
should I write? What should I tell y'all? How much

771
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:47.159
should I tell you about me?

772
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.280
Here we go? And I wrote I said, I like that.

773
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:55.320
She wrote that here we go. You know, But anyway, Isaiah,

774
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.440
I'm sorry. Jeremiah thirty and two.

775
00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:59.639
Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel, write in

776
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:01.960
a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

777
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:05.199
That's God talking to Jeremiah, everything I've told you, write

778
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.159
it down. Write it down Isaiah thirty and eight. And

779
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:12.159
now go write it before them on a tablet, and

780
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.239
inscribe it in a book that it may be for

781
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.440
the time to come as a witness forever.

782
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.440
I love writing spiritual songs. You look at you and

783
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:21.800
Elda jay I didn't know that.

784
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:26.519
Wow, we need to publish that. Yeah, we need to

785
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:29.239
publish that. I had an aunt that has passed away.

786
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:31.760
She used to write the plays for the Church of

787
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:35.039
Christmas plays, the Christmas stories and stuff. I asked her,

788
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:37.159
I said, if you don't mind, are you going? She

789
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.559
and my uncle never had children, So I said.

790
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:41.360
Do you are you going to pass that on to anybody?

791
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.079
Because nine you know? I said, would you consider passing

792
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:46.800
it on to me? And did? She never did, so

793
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.280
I don't know.

794
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:49.400
And I know folks who came through her stuff probably

795
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.880
just threw it out or whatever. But that was stuff

796
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.559
from someone who was a school teacher for thirty five years.

797
00:37:56.199 --> 00:38:00.519
Can you imagine the church plays and the history of that. Okay,

798
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:02.000
let me.

799
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.679
Go back to Isaiah thirty and eight and now go

800
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.440
and now look at the action with verbs here. Now

801
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:12.480
go write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe

802
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.480
it in a book that it may be for the

803
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.519
time to come as a witness forever. What was that one?

804
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:20.639
I didn't see that one. It's such four point five

805
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.400
to write two beginner chess books.

806
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:26.159
But you did it, You did it. You did it.

807
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:30.119
Last verse here Exodus seventeen and fourteen.

808
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:33.000
And the Lord said to Moses, write this as a

809
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:35.719
memorial in a book, and recite it in the ears

810
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:36.760
of Joshua.

811
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.199
And we know what Moses did.

812
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:41.679
Went to a mountain, stayed there for forty days community

813
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.800
with God, and came down with the Ten Commandments. And

814
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.480
there's six hundred commandments out here, but God said, no,

815
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:48.519
these ten. This is what I'm going to build the

816
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:52.320
foundation of mankind on, of the rules and regulations of

817
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.719
getting into heath. But he had to write them down

818
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.679
so that he that readth it. What do we do

819
00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:59.920
with the ten Commandments? If you've ever gone the sun

820
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.400
the school as a child, what did you learn the

821
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:06.039
ten commandments? And you had to recite them? In some

822
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.840
cases you had to show that you have studied, that

823
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.840
you memorized them. And to this day we live off

824
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:15.360
of it because we've memorized the Ten Commandments, but write

825
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.840
it down and Moses, and so, you know, I hope

826
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.880
that this is this is the beginning of this. And

827
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.000
like I said, next week, we'll you know, I mean,

828
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:25.400
in two weeks, we'll come back to part two and

829
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.159
I'll see what God has for us to talk about.

830
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:31.039
But I would like to challenge each and every one

831
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:32.320
of you who feel that.

832
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:34.480
You have been you're led, or you have been led,

833
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.400
or you've wanted to write something.

834
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:38.599
I don't care if it's a children's book. I don't

835
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:40.679
care if you're talking about your neighbor. I don't care

836
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:45.000
if you're talking about your best friend, experience, idea. You know,

837
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.719
I want you to write down, start writing a draft.

838
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:53.119
Just start, just start record it and leave it. You've

839
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.360
got two weeks from tonight. Okay, two weeks from tonight,

840
00:39:57.800 --> 00:39:59.000
just do it.

841
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:00.440
It's not going to cost you anything.

842
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:03.599
You're gonna find her MP three recording device for those

843
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:05.760
who are going to go that route, and it's free.

844
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:07.800
The first ten minute you need to get one. That's free.

845
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.639
That's first. At least the first ten minutes is free.

846
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.440
I reached. I dictated all of my books on one app.

847
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.239
And it took me plus the ten minutes because I'll

848
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:17.920
go back part you know, it's part two.

849
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.199
It's a continuation of chapter three. Continuation chapter three.

850
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:23.599
Then I had to go behind and I don't think

851
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.679
I did it in this book. Oh, I have the

852
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:29.440
scriptures in the book related to what we talked about.

853
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.679
My experience is.

854
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:35.360
Scriptures that relate to my experience that blew the public.

855
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.039
The whoever was reading my book at the publisher, they're like,

856
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.519
she wrote all the She's got all the scriptures that

857
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:43.719
correlate with what she's going through, and I put those

858
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.519
at this time in the book. Don't Normally I do

859
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.480
a prayer behind this chapter, but not this time.

860
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:49.760
I said no, I didn't even beginning end to end.

861
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.559
Just do it. Come on questions. We got a few

862
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.840
more minutes, any questions.

863
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:58.480
I just want to say, running the vision and making

864
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:02.280
it plane doesn't only apply to starting a book. I

865
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.360
feel like people should apply it to everything they do,

866
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.880
whether they want to start a business, planning out your life,

867
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:10.639
your finances, whatever the case may be that you want

868
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.199
to do. I mean, I've done it for my school,

869
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.320
I've done it for my health, I've done it for

870
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:19.320
my businesses, my family. I always write the vision for it.

871
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:21.960
So I just feel like it's something to you that

872
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.880
you can do and apply to on your daily living.

873
00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:28.519
So for those who're going to start a book, that's

874
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.079
the way you can utilize this topic.

875
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:36.679
Amen, everybody's got a story, everybody's got a story, everybody's

876
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:37.519
got something to say.

877
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:41.599
Do you feel self publishing to be less expensive or blessed? Yeah?

878
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:45.320
I missed it, I think so I have. It's funny

879
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:48.639
Trey mentioned manuals and stuff. I've got a few manuals

880
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.199
that are on my vision board that I need to

881
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.679
bring it to into into the play, and I probably

882
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.800
self publish those because it you know, it is it can.

883
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:02.519
I think it's probably less expensive, but I don't know

884
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:03.480
that to be sure.

885
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:05.719
I know most people have taken that route.

886
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:09.840
And again, Amazon's got a whole new program department where

887
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:13.159
they help you publish your books too, so and it's

888
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.800
not as costly, so you may want to look into that.

889
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.199
But yeah, self publishing, you know that takes time because

890
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:20.400
you're all.

891
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:22.960
You know, you got to contact the office and copyright

892
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.760
and that's very easy that you could just google them

893
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.239
and and they got all your to do lists and

894
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:33.320
everything if you want to submit a manual, manuscript and

895
00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:36.079
all that good stuff. And there's costs to all of that.

896
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:38.840
So is it hard to sell up? Do you need

897
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:41.519
to copyright when you self published? Yes, you got the

898
00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:44.119
you got the Yeah, you got to copyright it. Somebody

899
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.239
else could come along and say that's mine, and you

900
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:46.920
don't want to do that.

901
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:50.119
Okay, it's not going to me do that. Okay, I'll

902
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:53.079
come back and thank you, miss Kate for saying that.

903
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:54.159
You know writing.

904
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:56.199
You know, like I said, if you've been in school,

905
00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:58.079
and I don't know if the students are out there

906
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:01.000
listening to us tonight, but you know, so you got

907
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.480
to write that rough draft. When you have a reading assignment,

908
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:06.320
a writing assignment, you've got to write a rough draft

909
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:07.840
and the teacher's going to take a look at it.

910
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:10.000
They'll give you some pointers on it. You know, they

911
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:11.679
may tell you to go back and rewrite the whole

912
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:14.840
thing whatever. Depending on the subject matter, writing is very

913
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.079
important because you want to get your ideas out, you

914
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:18.920
want to get the subject out, you want to hit

915
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:23.079
that topic. You need to have supporting sentences and paragraphs

916
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.360
to show that, Okay, I did the research on this.

917
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.199
You know, and then you get up and you recite

918
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.079
it or you do an oral presentation. You're going by

919
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:33.800
the notes of the research that you have found, you know,

920
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:35.599
so you and you don't want to.

921
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:37.559
Stand there read the card. You do read your notes.

922
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.000
You want to be familiar with the project, with the

923
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:43.639
assignment so that you can, you know, really display and

924
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:46.679
convey it clear that you understand what you're saying. I

925
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:50.159
was telling my daughter, I'm not go ahead, I was,

926
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:53.239
I said, Blisse said this last few semesters had a

927
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:58.159
lot of team projects, and she was upset because some

928
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:00.199
of the teams, you know, members like oh no, got

929
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:01.719
to do this, I'm going out. You know, we had

930
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:04.679
all kinds of excuses, right, So I said, trust me,

931
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.960
a good professor will know who did what and you will.

932
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.639
Never have to say it. Is it hard to get copyright? Uh?

933
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:13.519
Get copywritten for each book? How much is a copyright?

934
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.400
And you okay, you have to go You can do

935
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.400
that without an agent. Yeah, but go ahead and look

936
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:21.800
up the copyright. Go to Google and google it and

937
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:23.920
come right up in the web page. Like I said,

938
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.280
it's very self explanatory. Go ahead, and uh a email,

939
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:30.960
you put your email in there and you know, I

940
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.320
don't know if you're can get any updates from them.

941
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:35.199
I didn't get any updates, but I was able to

942
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:36.760
get right in you know, when I need to go

943
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:38.920
to them because I need it. I have packed up

944
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:45.239
my official copyright and your self copyright. No, because you

945
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:48.000
got to assign numbers and all that, and it's got

946
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.199
to be kind of registered.

947
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:50.599
I had.

948
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.679
I know, I packed up, but I really wanted to

949
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:57.079
get all my registered, my copy, my certification certifications of

950
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:59.960
my registrations of all my books. So I the public

951
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:01.920
company said, no, we can't do that. So I looked

952
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:05.519
up the Office of Copyright and I paid for all

953
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.199
of my books to have I'm waiting for the new book.

954
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:09.840
They're going to set my new one out. I got

955
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.280
them all in one place inside the house. They're not

956
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:13.039
in the garage.

957
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:13.440
Amen.

958
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.599
So I had to, you know, do that, but they

959
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.559
were very friendly. I emailed everything I needed, gave them

960
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:24.719
the names of my books and things and then the

961
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.599
ISBN number, and they looked them up and found everything

962
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:31.079
and they sent mailed it out to me once I

963
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.400
made a payment. But yeah, you want to copyright it

964
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:37.440
because it's it's more official and it's registered. And then

965
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.039
when the twins went to d C for their trip

966
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:43.519
eighth grade trip or ninth grade trip, no, eighth grade trip,

967
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.760
I was the Library of Congress was closed, but we

968
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.320
could walk through it. You can't walk away. The books

969
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.440
were but you could look down of this glass. And

970
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.960
I said, I can't believe three of my books are

971
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:56.079
down there somewhere.

972
00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.880
And it was just kind of just a nostalgic, you

973
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:02.400
know moment. Yeah, And it's nothing but books.

974
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.960
And now I'm hearing the crazy nuts are taking books

975
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:09.119
and making a I copy them and then they're shredding

976
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:12.039
the book. It's a sad day we're in, but I'm

977
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:14.519
keeping my books. You want to step on my property

00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:20.840
So my books are very important.

981
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:24.199
Amen. Oh that's it. Okay, Well we're up.

00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:28.239
