I added another movie to my Vimeo account this week.
You can see all my movies on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/dynamiclethargy
I did a little work on "The Barrier". Mostly trying to get myself organized.
This wasn’t a very productive week for me, but I did get a few little things done.
I've been posting all my movies on YouTube. I posted a few of them on Vimeo as well. This week I decided I should put all my movies on both sites. I uploaded five more to Vimeo so far. I have another eight to do. I decided I'd upload those one or two a week, to space them out.

“The Barrier”
One of the movies I have on YouTube that isn’t on Vimeo is “The Barrier.” I’m debating if I should upload it. I want to remake it, but I have let it lie dormant for a long time. Back when my wife was still alive, I started to do a rewrite, but dropped the project when she got sick. I haven’t picked it up since.
Since I last worked on the script, I switched from using Trelby to Scrivener. So, I decided the first step was to convert it. When I started the conversion Friday (2022 July 22) I noticed the date on the last version of the script was 2016 July 22, six years to the day.
Since I last looked at the script, I had a few ideas for improvements. I still think the story will have limited appeal, but I feel the need to get it out of my system. Besides, I got a licence for NAWMAL so I could redo it. I don’t want that money to go to waste.
Writing Exercises
I did a writing exercise at the “Shut Up and Write!” group I joined. I based it on the title "The Assurance of the Jolly Zookeeper". I liked it, although I suspect people will find it a bit trite. I haven’t done recordings of this and my previous writing exercise “The Courage of the Laid-Back Librarian.” I had a cold and cough, so my voice just wasn’t up to it.
I also plan to make videos of a couple of my earlier writing exercises: “The Dread of the Daring Rocketeer,” and “Time Enough for the Anxious Social Media Manager.”
I finally got my “The Sad Lady and the Hesitant Father-in-Law” video finished and posted.

My video “Some Days ...” has done unusually well the last few months. I have no idea why. It isn’t a new video. I posted it back in 2013. When I checked just now, it had 91,253 views and 171 likes.
