Great format, excellent advice. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers?
Thanks. And the follower thing is probably because I spend most of my time editing and publishing my wonderful authors, and not on RUclips. Also I only just found all these wonderful comments. For some reason I wasn't getting notificatons for RUclips. every comment you make, and every like helps.

you write in body language, don't use said at all
Yep. That's the way. But sometimes a 'said' or two is necessary.
