OK, here we go...35 minutes with Adam.
- I'll say Adam looks better and is less 'on' than his usual vlogs during the intro section.
- they (agents) like it , it's not for them (I.e. it's not very good)
- mentions his 'team', his youtube manager etc
- he's a 'work demon' apparently.
- he's a slow reader, but a fast writer apparently. Explains the quality of his work
- very obvious he has never worked before
- 20 pages of editing a day....thats not that much Adam.
- oh woe is me Adam, makes him tired (gets up at 1030am) and he recommends self care time
- his attitude seems quite different to many authors I've followed
- I'm confused. He has a youtube manager, couldn't get an agent, but now he has an agent. Is that just a youtube person and not a real literature agent?!
- his flat really is just disney. Also some very odd, old fashioned interior design choices.
- this vlog is really explaining his (poor) work ethic and why everything he does is so slap dash
- Adam seems surprised writing a book is 'work'. And he's only read it all the way through 4 times and seems to think that's a lot.
- 'gotta support my blondie'
(referring to Taylor Switch)
- publishers saying 'it's us, not you'
oh Adam, that's the publishing worlds 'it's not you, it's me'. If the publishers already have something similar, then you're not that original are you.
- his arrogance is showing at not thinking it might be him and just wanting to get on with it
- so youtube manager has been dumped/or Adam has been dumped. Knowing how Adam embellishs things, I'm not sure how mutual things were. Or he only hears what he wants to hear.
- we love the book, we can see it being successful but we're not publishing it. Adam can't read between the lines
- you can tell Adam doesn't get told 'No' often. His constant impatient must be exhausting to those working with him.
- it costs money to self publish? Er...that goes against most things on self publishing. Hes obviously not just doing Amazon. Why does he always have to get money in first before he can do anything. Needs the pre orders to pay for proof reading, marketing etc? Has he no savings or anything?
- the costs of editors is the first interesting thing in the whole video, at 31 minutes of a 35 minute video.
- this video is an eye opener on Adam and his attitude. Completely backs up what we've always thought. Gives zero insight into self publishing though.
Next week's doesn't look all that informative either. It's all about him
