The good news is, I got my first chapter filmed!
WOOOHOOO!
The bad news is, it’s been over a week and I still haven’t gotten it uploaded to my friend who’s editing for me until I can get better equipment.
Woohoo?
Now, I have pretty good internet at home. I stream Star Trek on Neflix like a champ, and even though there’s two teenagers and two adults using the wifi on phones and laptops and tablets (sometimes more than one at a time), we hardly ever have issues. So why, then, won’t a simple 5MB video upload to Dropbox for me?
Well, as it turns out, download and upload speed are two different things.
Who knew?
Okay, okay, so maybe everyone. But bear with me. I’m new to this part of the digital age.
Today I’m at my day job which has excellent wifi, so I brought my old phone — which is what I use for my camera for now because it’s better than my current working phone in that capacity — to see if it’ll upload on their supersonic setup. I’ve been uploading all morning now, and just checked at my lunch break.
It’s 85% DONE!
WOOOHOOO again!
So all this is to say, no I have NOT given up on Scribbler’s Storytime. Just had a little glitch in the matrix, as it were. Soon — hopefully very soon — I’ll be sending everyone a link to chapter 1!
Moral of the story? If the obvious steps don’t work, carve some of your own. 😉
Stay tuned…
