Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 3hI realize just now that maybe the reason why I'm not enjoying YouTube is because I'm not doing what I already love. I loved the Writing Battle. The only thing that killed the motivation was the comments on YouTube. How to fix this? 🤔 💭 ⁉️ 000
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 6hI had a chance to try out another creatives incubator product and it started Oct 1st. It is now Oct 4th and I no longer feel that this was a good investment or a good choice. 100
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 03/10/2026After yesterday's comment on my terrible mic, I realize I have one more mental trigger to work through. That is the feeling of lack. 100
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm starting to think this YouTube thing isn't worth is because now I'm starting to get more compaints. My last video had my better mic and someone complained about it. I'm sorry that my sound quality is terrible but I'm poor and have no space to work from. I'm working with what I've got. 120
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Finished the writing battle, #WritingCommunity! I thought maybe I'd need another day, but I feel pretty good about it! Would be a great animation or illustrated story! I don't think i'll get to share it until late Nov, but can't wait to see the results of the writing battle! 020
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 02/10/2026#WritingBattle has begin. Working in a very special world for this short 500 word story. I wasn't going to place it into my universe but everything lined up with the prompts. #WritingCommunity 120
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 01/10/2026One of the strangest comments I've gotten on YouTube short from 2024 and was a one-line reading of a #VSS365 challenge here on Bluesky. As far as I can tell the person is only on Twitter but still I'm not sure what they meant by this. Blocked name and profile pic out of respect. #WritingCommunity 150
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am going to relaunch both my main Liath LaVerne Hawke Youtube channel in a couple of weeks and my Playtime Hawke YouTube channel next month. If it all works out, I'll have a third special channel with some cool content in December around Christmas. Here's the explanation . 110
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I forgot to share this I think. I drew two of my character, #WritingCommunity!

I discovered that my croaking voice can sound like an old grandma with a few tweeks. Now picture this grandma on a motorcycle singing "Born to be wild". 100

Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The vision statement has really helped me get things together finally.

Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I think I just found my new mission statement to describe me as a creative and what I'm doing. It's not just books and not just games. There is a... layering process going on. Let me talk more about it in this #threadtalk #WritingCommunity 1/5 120
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This YouTube thing isn't working. i'm doing the thing I said I didn't want to do which is teaching. I have no idea why I keep limiting myself to that. I wish I could just figure out what to do with YouTube... 000

Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Thinking about selling some books I don't need but don't want to do it on Amazon. Not sure if Etsy would allow me to sell something that isn't hand made so any ideas where else I could sell used books that I have read and don't need? #WritingCommunity 111
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 10/09/2026So I'm having a bit of a rough day mentally. Regretting certain decisions and trying to learn from them but my brain just won't let me move forward. Why does it always have to be this hard? 000

Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm thinking about entering the next Writing Battle so I may practice writing 500 word stories all month long. I'll be specializing in horror but will combined fantasy and sci-fi. I'd ask for requests but I kinda have ideas already. 1/2 100
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 01/09/2026So Youtube's changes to views is pretty bad. I'm lucky if I get 3 views now... 120
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Wish there was something better to do then YouTube. YouTube's new algorithm and view count really is making me start to think about what else I could do instead while I write my book. 120
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 01/09/20261573 words in one day! I'm so proud and glad I found my power again to create!

If you haven't seen my #WIP post #WritingCommunity, it's pinned to my profile. It felt good to work with Julian, i'll say that. Plus we're in the far far future. I've updated timelines and everything. 010
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Am I a little rusty #WritingCommunity?

It's official now that I finally got my hands to stop thinking about the Oct 2025 trauma and onto the story. #WIP #WIPSnippet 220
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The disk in Julian’s hands felt light as a feather. He spun it on his finger as he walked down the hall. Fumbled to catch it when it wobbled off, almost hitting the ground. A disk this old had to be pretty delicate. This was an item of the 2000s. Old and obsolete. 1/5 100
Liath LaVerne Vytani Hawke @hawkeliath.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I know I haven't updated a lot, but I've started a new writing project.

I'm still working through some trauma left over from last oct. #WritingCommunity 000
