Wow, it’s almost April! This year’s first quarter is almost over and I have very little to show for it. I have had a creativity block for the last few months and have been hard on myself about it. I have spurts of energy where I’ll do a little bit but nothing that directly paints the bigger picture of what I’m trying to accomplish.
I won’t consider any of my goals as immediate, because that sends my anxiety into overdrive, but I intend to have a broader reach with my blog, my Twitch channel, and everything in between.
The prominent things I have done this year, are moving my blog to be self-hosted and creating a VTuber avatar for my Twitch channel. I changed hosting to get rid of ads because if I’m not making money from them… I don’t want them on my site. I may add them at a later time if I get more traction to the site but for now, having them forced on me and my readers was just a hard pass. I also have access to WordPress plug-ins that I couldn’t use before. As for the VTuber avatar, I used a free program and tested it out with my webcam. Everything works quite smoothly when using OBS (streaming software) so it’s just a matter of planning to stream and choosing what I want to discuss and/or the games I want to play during streams.
