Your journal as a place for quiet sanity and reflection

- It has been one heck of a week to the start of this month. Perhaps this is an understatement!
1. I received my first four-figure monthly dividend.
2. My landlord has offered me first choice to buy our Yorkshire house.
3. This @nicksturgeonbooks channel has become monetized.
4. TH-cam switched off my much larger @viralmexico channel over what I am hoping was a genuine misinterpretation of one of my shorts, with them seeing it as inappropriate and offensive rather than me sharing a neutral insight into a cultural event I attended as an observer.
In all of these happenings my anchor journal has kept me sane, allowed me to work through ideas and numbers, and to see the advantages I have as an independent creator. I am following the appeal process and will be asking them to look at that #short in the context of the total channel and the 1,500 videos.
By the way, if you have gone through the appeal process successfully, please share with me the gist of what you did and how you achieved success and channel re-instatement.
Thank you for your support of me in all things. You comments and subscriptions mean so much. 1,175 of you follow this channel (NB. I mistakenly refer to you as being 1,700 people toward the end of the video).
The initial title of this video was 'TH-cam Terminated My Largest Channel', but I realize the video is much more about the central role of my anchor journal or daily journal in helping me make sense of the many things happening in a normal life, and the first title didn't accurately reflect this message. So now you know why I changed the title to be what it is now : 'Your Journal as a Place of Quiet Sanity'.

My weekly Newsletter is 'Notes from the Desk' and available here : nick-sturgeon-books.ck.page/dc20c708fc
New to this book tube, author tube malarkey and finding my way around. Best wishes with your writing goals and to your channel.
Thanks for your comment. I wish I could see your name here to greet you properly. Yes, this is a good place to be for all things writing, reading, stationery and manuscript reviews. Nick
Yes, I believe you are correct about the Shorts. I do avoid them actually.
I also avoid them.
Congratulations on your dividend!
Thanks Emma. It was worth putting the work in place to receive this every month. Now I have to reconsider my roles to be Investor, Writer and TH-camr. Previously, I had them down as Writer, TH-camr and Investor.
I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, you can get it back.
I rarely post shorts because I know someone whose channel's subscribers skyrocketed due to him constantly posting a lot of shorts videos, but they weren't watching his longer videos. They pretty much became "dead" subscribers. Eventually, he stopped making shorts because growing a real community was more important to him.
I have a newer second channel and I also rarely post shorts on that one, too.
Thanks Brittany. So nice to hear from you. Yes, the whole shorts theme is becoming increasingly polarizing. Certainly, I am looking at remiving a couple of hundred shorts from this channel. If the @viralmexico channel is released back to me the shorts content will me something I refuce drastically. Stay well and keep producing your own great content. Nick
I hope this channel will stay here for a long time. There are so many things I learn from you since subscribing to this channel.
Thanks @raynoldj So very kind of you to say so. Still learning myself each time I decide on a video to share and then sit down to think about how I want to approach the topic chosen. Great to have you here as a subscriber. My first Newsletter will come out on Friday 15th so I have some more ideas to capture over the next few days. Nick.
Well that explains why I couldn’t find your second channel yesterday. I cannot imagine you running afoul of TH-cam’s guidelines and hope this gets cleared up quickly.
Thanks Christine. I don't know their decision was a human one or.made by an automated bot device. I am hoping a response to the appeal will reveal this
God's gift of language and the magicical transference of thought, ideas, concepts and problem solving we're able to manifest through putting pen to paper is truly underutilized and underappreciated.
Thanks Taiko. Such a rich comment, one I truly appreciate you having taken the time for. Nick
Shorts are annoying, and I feel cheated when I click on one thinking ohh, this will last as long as my cup of coffee. But nope. I prefer to watch a full video. But sorry the TH-cam elites removed your channel. If they think a channel won’t make them money, they remove you like gum off their shoes.
I am sorry is this the main channel? I like this channel
This is the only channel now. The larger channel disappeared yesterday.
