Try some; it's good.

Hot or not?

I made a book teaser for Guide. I have no idea if it's any good, though I'm pleased with it. Then again, I just found out I have a thing called "Movie Maker" on my computer tonight. Tell me, book teaser experts, how much does this suck for a first try?

Note: I've been emailed a critique of my teaser, so down it comes while I implement these excellent suggestions. Thank you!

I tried to view your video, but I'm one of probably 5 people in the US still on dialup. It gets a few steps in, then freezes.
I know that doesn't help for squat - but I tried! :(

Okay, update: Now when I try to click this it says the video is no longer available. *_* I didn't do it, I swear!

Youtube is buggy (for me) so I'm trying to upload it directly to the blog so I won't have youtube server delays. We'll see how that goes.

I know! I'm not sure what that's about. It was working fine earlier. Like I said, Youtube = buggy.

Also, you're tagged for weird things. Mwahaha.

Hi Nancy! Welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Really I just feel like authors need to be able to accept criticism. Now obviously if the review says, "this is shite, u can't rit," then there's just nothing to learn from that. But not all reviewers are talking out their bottoms if they don't like certain things about their work. Extrapolate what one can, keep writing, and don't get pissy over it.

My husband made me one with Movie Maker. It's at http://sicacaelestas.home.insightbb.com/mmtrailer.wmv

It's nothing amazing, but it's not at all bad either. I'm trying to encourage him to make one for my new bok.

I like it, Michele! I love the shock of the scary image among the sweet romantic ones.
