Hard work and Having Fun.

I am trying to get into the swing of blogging. I really like the platform it gives me to write what I want and not have to make a video about everything, and it has a more relaxed feel to for me as I am just sitting, listening to music and writing what comes to my head.

If you watch my YouTube videos, you probably know my channel now has a new schedule and plan. It is going to be hard work, but it is going to be a lot of fun. I just want to blurt out all the ideas and videos that will be coming very soon, but I won't; I want them to be a surprise. I upload interactive gamess on Tuesday, and although they are a bit harder to make than a vlog, I find them a lot of fun, to create and play. And hopefully you guys will think they are fun. I feel there aren't enough of that type of video - I wrote a script for one interactive video about a year ago, but I felt I was inexperienced and couldn't pull it off. So I held it off and forgot about it. I then came across the file a few months later and thought so what if this is not what people are wanting - I thought this because not many people make these types of videos - I will do it anyway, because I would enjoy it. The video got, good feedback. I wanted to create more. I was talking to my friend Adam on twitter about videos - he also has a YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/AdamFitzz he makes a ton of great videos (Scary Make Up tutorials, and vlogs)  - and I said I would love to make interactive games all the time, but not stop vlogging and he encouraged me to do more. So I made a plan that I would work out everything for the videos a month in advance - time to get all questions and games sorting takes a bit of time - so I made a promise to myself that as soon as the first week in October hits I would make two videos a week. I couldn't give up vlogging, making sketching or short films but I really wanted to try more interactive games. So it was the only solution for me. It is the first week in October right now so I don't know the outcome of this plan I have. But I can say one thing. I am having so much fun coming up with ideas and getting everything ready. It is hard work, there is more that goes into the videos than most people would notice. But I enjoy that and hopefully that will be portrayed and I can continue making these videos, with the same schedule. I am happy with the plans so far, maybe not a lot of people want to play games on YouTube. But if I am having fun - even though I am working hard - it is all worth it.

I am so glad I started YouTube as a hobby, it has given me so much happiness even though something like this probably seems so lonely and boring. It is so enjoyable; when your ideas become reality.
