I 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? 🤔 💭 ⁉️

I 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.

After yesterday's comment on my terrible mic, I realize I have one more mental trigger to work through. That is the feeling of lack.

I'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.

Finished 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!

One 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

I 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 .

I forgot to share this I think. I drew two of my character, #WritingCommunity! I'm planning to continue sketching them as I continue design. I already know changes I want. Also backstories related to my two real lovebirds, Linus and Lucy. youtu.be/mCICV5FnJ1Q?...

Not planning to roll out a video on Monday since i'm sick. Thankfully I had pre-recording gaming content for the 2nd channel. HOWEVER! 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".

The vision statement has really helped me get things together finally. This means I'm a multi-passionate creative, so I'm not just writing books but doing a plethora of things for one specific goal. I'm happy I figured my path forward out finally! Thank you universe! This is what I needed!

I 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

Thinking 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

The 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
