A lot has happened since the last time I wrote here.

Most of my free time has been occupied with streaming on Twitch. For those who don’t know about this platform, it’s a website where mostly gamers will stream themselves playing video games, although there are also plenty of lifestyle streamers as well. For instance, I’m currently streaming as I blog here because I’m doing a cozy co-working stream. This means that people who are watching me are able to add tasks to a live to-do list on-screen, and they get to check off their tasks when they’re finished with them!

I’ve finished most of my tasks for today, but blogging is one of the last ones. Honestly with me streaming, it’s felt like I haven’t necessarily had to make content, so I haven’t been taking as many photos as I used to, and I haven’t been trying to make as many reels as I used to either. In a way, I feel burnt out from that kind of creating; dancing around on a video to try to go viral has become exhausting, and I feel like I can better utilize my talents and time by doing other things, like streaming.

But I also know that I can’t be content with where I am. I know that I need to make a better effort to put the recordings of my streams out there (more than likely on YouTube), and to create clips to post, or write here on the blog. I’m already beginning a new series on my podcast (which I’m super excited about), so I know I’ll also need to start creating content for that as well.

I was getting discouraged and unmotivated with making content (yes, even though I hadn’t even really begun yet), but to be honest, getting into a major stream team called Big Creatxr has helped me see that I need to push past my limits, and put my talents and interests to use. I’ve also been encouraged by friends who’ve said they look up to me, or are inspired by what I do. Those words mean more to me than they could ever know!

So, I think I’ll be either adding another stream day, or just flip-flopping every other week with a co-working stream to keep myself accountable to the things I need to get done! I still need to make a media kit (which is something I’m honestly terrified of doing still), but I know that as I work on it, it will start to feel easier to me than it feels right now.

Well, my co-working stream is just about over! I’ll be back to blogging every week again because I’m determined to be more consistent than I have in the last 6 months. This on top of planning a wedding (!), but I’m excited for it all!
