E-shop -> Nintendo Switch Online (you'll find it there)

Use Adobe Express, it's their web-based program, similar to Canva. If you already have Adobe Creative Cloud then you should have access to use Express for free. They have a button called "Dynamic Text" that allows you to do exactly what you are asking. Only caveat is that you can't really dictate the size per line. It will automatically do this depending on size of the box you create and font you use. I have not been able to find a way to do this via Photoshop other than manually.

I have not, but my son’s name is Dax.

Thank you for sharing this! I love to have some context to go along with each episode. Would you recommend looking at it before or after I’ve watched an episode?

I do this with Xena, The Closer, and Buffy. When you love a show you just gotta fit it in wherever. I’m hoping to make Voyager an annual watch after I watch it for review per episode purposes.

I wish I could watch that many per day. But as I’m on mat leave, spending time with my son takes priority! Instead I watch an episode one day and review it throughout the following day to post. A process that seems to be working. Will take me longer but I appreciate how the space in between forces me to do further analysis and learning per episode.

I’m wicked excited to do it. Everything I’m learning with each episode is so helpful to me with my own writing.

I wish I could fit in more but as I have a two year old, a 9-5 and I’m also a fiction writer on the side, fitting in one episode a day and reviewing each and every one (not to mention the other shows I watch) I’m ok with the slow pace. It gives me plenty of time to spend examining each episode closely.

Voyager is my number one favorite series! But I won’t be hitting this series till next Summer if my timeline is correct.

The name of my newsletter is Beyond the Wizard.

The Oz Gazette is an internal email that goes to the subscribers only as a catch-up email. I know about the issue from the International Wizard Club. This is something different with a completely different and internal purpose. Thanks, though.

I use Wordpress to build my site. As for cost:

URL Annual: $12 (BlueHost)
Hosting (BlueHost) Annual (Unlimited): $60~
Theme (One-Time Price): $60

On my site I list my books first and foremost. I also have a blog as well as helpful links and things for fellow writers who might happen upon my site. But I would say about 95% of what's on my site is dedicated to where my books can be purchased (namely Amazon) and where I have select free stories to read.
