My intention for this blog is not just to be a creative outlet. I plan to use it as a sort of landing page for larger ideas that I might eventually turn into long-form content for YouTube. I have been doing quite a bit of research on the topic of creating and growing a channel. I have watched and listened to a lot of content from other creators on that platform. It’s actually taken over as my go-to interest, where I always have an earbud in, constantly listening during small pockets of time throughout the day. I’m over here aspiring to create something, and this blog is something of a stepping stone towards that.
One concept that stuck out is to document the journey. This comes from a book that I haven’t read yet, but keep hearing about, called “Show Your Work!” by Austin Kleon. Another concept from that book is to share something small every day. This is something I’m really leaning into, because if I don’t do something small, I may do nothing at all.
I’m coming up on the end of my lunch break, and although I wish I could take a deep dive into the subject of this particular post, it will simply have to wait. If you already read through the first two blog posts, you may have noticed a theme with these abrupt endings. Jotting down thoughts and musings, leaving things open ended.
I’m dying to keep hitting “publish,” even if it means only sharing something small.
