At this point, I feel almost perfectly well adjusted for the level of online social involvement I’ve come to take on lately. My Youtube Channel went from having a dozen or so views a couple weeks ago without much change in the better part of the last two years to now having over a hundred, most of that accumulated within a period of two days not long ago. Similarly, the latest content I submitted to ReverbNation (same as the most recent material uploaded to Youtube) has apparently netted me a 7th place ranking in a local folk top ten chart, though I have no idea why. I honestly don’t see how the recordings I’ve entered come even close to the quality, calibre and level of talent presented by and featured in songs submitted by other local artists, but here we are.

I haven’t had a twitter account for more than a week, and already a handful of people (>1 a day joining so far) have started following. Some are interested facebook friends, but a few more are complete internet strangers.

Then there’s this wordpress blog. Already, perfect strangers have happened upon this lowly page and lent their support in kind little ways, and I very much appreciate it. It is my hope to see these efforts continue to reach an ever-widening readership/fan base (the latter in terms of the musical endeavours), and for the scaffolding for the over-arching project, Elyen, to start coming together.

I want to have more than just idle thoughts and words to share. I want to set your imaginations on fire. [Edit: in a joyful way that could be wholesomely inspiring]

In good time. For now, thank you to those who have shown an interest in these infancy stages of my development as a writer and artist. As always, I will be sure to keep you updated the moment any new written or musical content is ready to share. In the meantime, I’m bracing myself for an expansion and the efforts involved in committing to greater responsibilities in the social arena.

Addendum: Apparently, I dropped down to the number 8 slot on the RN local folk chart upon my last check lol Go listen!(?) Like!(?) Fan me!(?)     …too early? lol yeah, probably. I’ll try again down the road when I have something more substantial worth cheering on. Cheers 🙂
