The Rusted Blade Audio Book Part Two (of Two)-Free

 The Rusted Blade Audio Book Part Two - Free


 
 

Synopsis:Gail O'Brien hates her life… Working at her dead-end job at the local U-Store-Yer-Stuff, she is tasked with emptying a long forgotten storage unit. Inside she discovers a mystic blade covered in rust and a puzzle which offers her power, truth, purpose, and most importantly a life!
The catch? She only has 24 hours to figure out the clues of the enigmatic poem and restore the blade to its full potential.
Solve the puzzle or die.
Simple terms.

The things she'll have to do to solve the puzzle will test her will and her sanity.

I felt like releasing an audiobook format of The Rusted Blade.  Here's the second part (of two) for you to enjoy.   

If you'd like Podcast:

StreamTalking.com is a great solution for Live Streamers!



 

 STREAMTALKING.COM - brings sanity to the chaos of Live Stream

One of the problems with doing Live shows is audience participation.  It's not hard to engage them and have conversations, but more a problem with the technology and also audience content cultivation.  

The major problem is LAG... There's latency with live streams and to make it easy to follow, if I ask a question, "What's your favorite color?" It will take a few seconds to get to the viewer and then a few more for them to respond.  In some cases this LAG will be around 21 seconds.  This makes it difficult for a lot of new streamers to work with.

Then add in the problem of streaming to different platforms at the same time.  Some streamers are lucky to have a staff of some sort to moderate and hand pick answers.

Add in the chaotic nature of live chat.  Asking a question where you are trying to do any real data-mining is reduced to a majority answer of "Yes or No"...

That's where StreamTalking.com comes in.  It allows Streamers to ask questions BEFORE the stream and then they can present the results in the live stream.

How do I use it?

With the Real-Time Storytime show, there was a huge time sink in the beginning of the show where users would chat their keyword or phrase and then I had to write it down and have it in a book.  The users couldn't see the list in front of them to remind them.  When I used the keyword or phrase, I would toggle "Keyword Used" on the screen but they had to remember the words.

You can see samples of the recent show submission here: https://streamtalking.com/RobertRRicks/the-real-time-storytime-show/NtwxFN0Y-16018713 

You can see it in the video of the show embedded into it:


 

 By using StreamTalking.com the users login and submit them, and then when the show begins I can choose which ones to display on the screen and it stays there for the show.  Users can see it, and it also shows the world who has been providing these amazing keywords/phrases.  

It has saved me about 10 minutes from what I used to do and that's an extra 10 minutes of actual content for the viewers.

I've also used it on the Angry Jackalope show where I ask questions like "What are some things you'd like to know about me?" and then I would activate only a single User Question at a time and it would show up on my Live stream.  

On the Angry Jackalope show I also used it to test and ask questions like "Who do you think will be the next president?" and "How many people do you know who got Covid19?" both of those questions were good tests to see charts.

As a Viewer it is really easy to setup an account... Here's the explanation for Viewers:


You can be part of the shows by signing up as a Viewer at:

https://streamtalking.com 

If you're a Streamer, this could be a useful tool to help mitigate the chaos of viewer engagement!

It's been useful for me.

Real-Time Storytime is coming back!

 

So after a break, the show will be resuming and will be streamlined with new technology to speed things up.  Traditionally, the show would start and then we'd allow viewers to add a keyword or a phrase.  Then as they chatted it into the show, I would transcribe into a book and then have it for reference.  It could take anywhere from 5-10 minutes.  Sometimes a little longer.  Now there's a new way to handle the keyword/phrase submissions.  

Introducing StreamTalking.com


By using this system, it will speed things up immediately!!!  So, if you haven't, please create an account and then check it out.


 

You can see the old episodes at http://www.realtimestorytime.com and the live show is at YouTube.com/RobertRRicks 

See ya on the show!

Magic Really Sucks - Podcast has OFFICIALLY started



I got permission to do live readings from my publisher and decided the Real-Time Storytime platform would be a good spot to do it.

You can watch the replay of the LIVE show at the Real-Time Storytime Website (http://www.realtimestorytime.com)  or you can check out the PODCAST which has some cleanup and effects added to make it clearer when telepathy is being used with characters.


The podcast is on:
SPOTIFY
ANCHOR.FM
Apple Podcast
Google Podcast
CASTBOX

These reading episodes will become a regular fixture on the RTST show.  The next two shows will be Magic Really Sucks readings and then back to normal show style and then more reading.

You can learn more about the Magic Really Sucks trilogy at http://www.magicreallysucks.com
