I'm planning to use Tumblr to be a bit more grounded so... Having to drop from three streams a week to two really bites (laughs) I'm in an incredibly fortunate situation right now and get to devote *a lot* of time to developing my social media presence and trying to be a full time content creator, but I just can't manage time for shit I love streaming, I stream around two hours per session- I know that seems like a bit too little, but then I have my post-stream crash afterwords for like minimum an hour bc sitting at my desk that long and talking hurts bad (laughs) and I need the menty-B. The rest of my time is fulled by me me struggling to edit, eeking out maybe a couple shorts for the upcoming week, attempting to draw while telling myself I should do more editing, working on my first cover song while I tell myself I should be editing, and researching for my longform YT videos while telling myself I should be editing. Writing this out, I think maybe I beat myself up too much for not editing (laughs) But it's important!! And I just can't seem to make myself do it regularly. I struggle to work... I don't think I'm suited to the standard 40 hour work day (is anyone?) so I don't strive to do it while I work on this, usually working 5-6 hours a day instead. So in the interests of growing outside of twitch, I drop a day of streaming (laughs) But it sucks!! I like streaming and talking to everyone! And I hate editing!!! And I think... if I were rich, then I wouldn't have to do any of the parts I don't like, I could just outsource it to someone else and pay them fairly. But I'm not rich, my family is not rich, and so I actually have to work at the thing that I want to make my job one day (laughs)
I don't follow the advice of all of the "here's how to grow your content!" girlies (including the men) who all say that I'm young and that I should be spending 100% of my time working on content and posting every single day and posting slop to get monetized faster- but like. I just don't think I'm suited to that. Wonder if my "work 6 hours a day and take breaks when you need to and take weekends off to go socialize" workstyle will actually, you know, work (laughs) guess I'll find out
Long winded way to complain and inform that my streams are being bumped down to twice a week lmao. Thanks for reading <3
