THE SHIELD OF LOCKSLEY

Chapter Forty-one: Queen's Knight to D6; Check.

I’m going to tell you what I always tell you. This is PAYWALLED.

So if you don’t want to read my rambling on about…things, feel free to give this one a pass. Since I’ve gone to my new “Format” of putting my videos — meaning readings of my stories, and my POET’S CORNER — I’ve lost subscribers. I have to tell myself I still have big numbers — not that that’s important. No. I have enough people following me, to fill a small gymnasium. That’s how you’re suppose to look at it. Besides, those people that slip away like that, usually aren’t faithful readers. You have to tell yourself positive, up-beat things. If you think about losing numbers, you’re missing the point of Substack.

For me, writing on Substack is a gift I’ve given myself. I’ve always been writing. There are thousands and thousands of pages in my files.

Now ask me why I paywalled my videos?

I can not afford to make the little video commercials I want to, because I have no actual revenue. I make about $53 a month. My stats say that I have 40 paid subscribers, but then, 10 of them are comps. I give people comps for my own reasons and see no need to share that.

That’s it, bottom line. I want to learn and grow my project: BTC-TV Channel 13. Why have a TV Channel, and not try to make into something? This is your chance to get in on the ground floor, for less than what you had to drink last weekend. (If you have issues with alcohol, sorry ** Trigger.**)

Anyway, what I’m saying is, this Substack has taken me a long time to grow. With this post, I am sitting at post #599. It’s been three years, a month and a day. I can’t even imagine the space it would take to house the amount of Followers I have. A theatre, I would say. I love that I have that many people who might see a Note, or the link to a post, and maybe even subscribe.

So pay attention…

This is a trailer I’ve been working on using Ai. Some of you have seen it, maybe some haven’t, but this is what I want to put on BTC-TV Channel 13. As bad as it is though, it can only get better.

And now, back to our story…
