Every blog post begins with a keyboard and a respectable title.
Oh well. At least I have a keyboard.
The YouTube channel is starting over my Spring Break, on or by March 19th. It's a lot harder than I expected it to be. It's a lot easier to be eloquent when you're just typing, and have time to think about the words and use spell check. When you're talking to a camera, there are a couple of thoughts running through your mind.
1. Oh my gosh, this is so stupid. I'm talking to a hunk of metal. Not even that- it's made of plastic. And I thought I could sink no lower...
2. This is going on the Internet. With a capital I. ANYONE could watch this. And they could all hate me.
3. Or they could like me. And then I'll be YouTube famous. There's nothing better than being YouTube famous. No press, no annoying fan mail, no "functions". All you have to do is talk to a hunk of plastic.
4. I wonder what we're having for lunch?
All that, plus whatever you're trying to say in the video. And you're trying to be funny, so that people will subscribe. Maybe it's more fun when people on YouTube actually know who you are.
I'm having writer's block. I'm still writing as much as ever, of course, but every time I write something, whether it's for fanfiction or my book, it just sounds so rubbish.... I think there's something missing, but I can't tell what it is. All I know is, Harry Potter has whatever's missing, and so does Doctor Who, and so does Sherlock Holmes, and so does Neil Gaiman. But I don't know what it is yet.
Maybe it's pirates. I could put pirates in.
I know it's not the plot, or the love bits, or the death. I have all that down pat.
Maybe I should have more talking animals.
Maybe I should work in a sonic screwdriver.
Or maybe I should eat some more chocolate and keep writing.
