I miss writing.
Yes, I miss writing. I really do love content for YouTube and TikTok, but in all honesty, I feel my writing is better than my videoing.
Is videoing a real word? Spellcheck didn’t reject it. Hmmm. I should really get out more.
Recently, I was struck with the thought of how much material there is to write about. And so much of it does not demand that one have any expertise in the field discussed. All that’s really needed is some common sense, a little wisdom, some boldness, and a general understanding of the heart of God.
So, I think I may start writing again. I mean, how hard would it be? It would certainly take a lot less time than editing video! Heck, I’m writing this right now by talking into my cell phone!
AI and ChatGPT are scary things, but talk to text is wonderful 🙂
Do Me a Favor?
So, to the point that I wanted to make. Would you watch the video that I am attaching?
It is really hard to get new viewers on YouTube with the subject matter that I cover. Then again, my writing could be better than my videoing.
Why don’t you be the judge?
But I will start writing, again. There’s too much to talk about to remain on the sidelines.

I’ve always enjoyed your writing, Anthony. But unlike your church members, this is the first time I’ve heard and seen you speak. You to do both warmly and engagingly.

Thank you for that, Mitch! Tell me if what I’m about to say sounds crazy or reasonable. It is almost like I have two different personalities: one for writing, the other for face-to-face communication (or video).
What I write tends to be more crafted and specific. What I do on video is typical of anywhere else I speak – rarely outlined and usually off the cuff. Each has its shortcomings, but each connects and communicates differently.
If I took the additional time to compose scripts for my teleprompter app, maybe then I’d come across as more intellectual and knowledgeable. But if I do that I miss out on the spontaneous moments of inspiration that come when I speak extemporaneously.

I noticed that, Anthony. And it’s not unusual. Your writing is more structured, but it doesn’t feel mannered or false in any way. And your extemporaneous speaking feels more like a friendly talk, but still well-informed.
