​YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO TIKTOK

Picture
     (Sigh). So yes, I admit that I'm a TikToker (see previous post, ​https://www.ailantha.com/blog/whats-in-the-box-introducing-the-ailantha-vlog).
    I got onto TikTok with the idea of using it as a platform to advertise my books, to which end I snagged myself a TikTok handle - @booksbypattiliszkay - then I shot and posted a couple mini-commercials, among which were these early efforts, which you can watch by tapping the arrows:
     No great works of cinematography - or, I expect, even, TikTokography - and, quite frankly, they didn't exactly bring on an avalanche of book sales. Still, if my interest in TikTok as a sales tool quickly faded, I found myself wanting to give it a whirl as a story-telling medium. 
        And so I joined the legion of TikTok micro-storytellers and self-expressionists, numberless as the stars in the sky and grains of sand on the beach. I ended up making and posting about half-a-dozen minute-long vignettes, among which are this one about an experience at a book fair:
...and these piano teacher stories:
      However after a while I learned that producing even a minute-long video takes time and sometimes requires a production assistant, usually my daughter Theresa.

      And so I decided to take a sabbatical from posting in the TikTok verse.  
     These days I usually post only a couple of times a year to inform folks when my publisher Black Rose Writing,

...is doing a free Amazon Kindle giveaway of one of my books. Which they happen to be doing next week.

        And so I'll back on TikTok for the next few days posting this sort of thing:
     BTW, if anyone would like a free copy of "Hail Mary" you don't have to go to TikTok. Just go to Amazon this Thursday:
