Reviewing August is a sad glance back at summer, and hot weather, as the autumn equinox three weeks away on 22 September draws near.
Asking if we accomplished what we wanted to do can be part of September’s foundation. Building on the past has me revising my goals.
In blogging, the debut of my YouTube channel vlog at the end of September is a terrifying thought. Thus far I have only one video section to edit. I have a lot of pre-writing done but none written down.
To my surprise, the most difficult part turns out to be the writing. Granted, I can sit down and talk for hours and not be boring (if I do say so myself). I can write 20 pages of fiction a day, handwrite.

Where is the terror coming from? Easy. Fear of how people will react. I want everyone to be nice, compassionate as most everyone does. We know that is not realistic.
Solution. Focus on the good people. Revel in the fortune to have a platform to entertain folks, help them smile, touch their hearts. Be yourself sharing thoughts and things that are positive and on some levels, inspiring.
Wishing you well with your vlog at the end of September.
ReplyDeleteThose 'mums' look very nice.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan

I can imagine the fear of YouTubing. You are braver than I am.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteThere are more moments when I question myself the closer the debut gets.

There is a book called "Art and Fear" that I have but I think the "fear" applies to anyone launching a creative endeavour that takes so much of their heart, soul and talent. It's different from starting a new job that anyone qualified can do. Only YOU are qualified to do your own creative thing, nurture an idea or project to fruition. Sending cyber support your way!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie
DeletePractice will set my fears free. I expect to laugh so much that I’lll feel silly to worry. If it doesn’t work out for me, feel like a good fit, then I can move on with fun memories.

Yes, focusing on the good people is a wonderful thing. I'm sure your fear is misplaced but that's not an easy thing to be convinced of is it.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteTrue, not easy at all. So I have the idea to do a practice video before the debut to calm my nerves. 🤣
