Imaginary Writing Process

HEY YOU THERE: YouTube muted the original audio of this video, which is "Do You Believe In Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful. Rather than take the video down, I chose the current song playing out of YouTube's 90% craptastic audio library. For best video watching, turn the video sound way down and turn up Do You Believe In Magic in the background!

A video about how I used to imagine the whole writing-and-getting-published thing worked.

Did the song change? I seem to recall something else playing the first time [first few times] I watched it--

Either way, fab video. If only it worked that way! I really wish... oh well! :)

You're not crazy-- the song changed. Youtube claimed the previous song (Do You Believe In Magic by Lovin' Spoonful) didn't fall under fair use. I disagree, but Youtube is unfortunately the one with the power, and so I had to choose a song from their horribly limited library!

This video is absolutely hilarious. Nice dancing, John! ;)

[JacksonAPearce]

He's pretty much the best part, in my humble opinion.

[roskoebaby]

This is SO AWESOME! haha I LOVE IT!

[JacksonAPearce]

Thanks :)

[JayBellBooks]

So true. You only need to add a scene at the end where millions of adoring fans rush out to buy the book without the slightest prompting.

[sandylender]

At 0:53, I laughed so hard I snorted. LOVE it.

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

I think the songs is actually pretty nice. But then again, I have a thing for straight rattling guitar chords and simple drums.

[TheCandyGirl58]

Well, the dancing is true... ;)

[iAmortentia]

[TheTrollAmongUs]

LOL I wish it was that easy.

XD Loved the dancing. :P Too bad it doesn't work like that, if it did, once my book was complete, I'd have it up immediately. I loved the vid though, it's going in my faves.
