Update

I am horrible at commiting to a blog, yet I try to anyway. Moving forward, my plan for my blog is simple. My blog will be my journal. A journal or diary that will keep me accountable to my writing; an archive of quotes and ideas I come across; a platform for me to voice my opinions, and a space for me to share experiences that would be too lengthy to write about anywhere else.

I expect this discipline to be a step forward in honing my craft as a writer. Thus, I can only hope that I can consistently commit to it this time around. That in itself is already a post to write about. 

Edit: I just found out that this is exactly what I decided months ago. I'm an idiot.

There's a twist in my gut that makes me want to be at that point already. Slumps like these make it hard not to be impatient, to be across that finish line, to be on top of the mountain. This is that point in time where watching something like Love, Simon invites dea...

The Brief Life of an Aspiring Twitch Streamer

Source: Twitch.tv Twitch is not for me. Not now, at least. Two months may've been too soon to hang my account, place it on the back burner, what have you, but I saw what it took to keep streaming. I learnt what it takes to live off streaming; the latter of which is personally the crux of my abandonment. To preface all this, streaming is arguably a career that consequently popped up as technology gets better. I believe it is. However, what isn't said enough is what a new streamer has to do to get a modicum of success if that is his or her aim. I started with a sum of money and a month's worth of research on how to get started. When I had everything set up, I had a mid-range computer, a decent microphone, and a webcam I scrounged off my sister. That was enough to set me for the short-lived one man show. Going live four hours a night from seven to eleven o'clock, Monday to Friday, I showcased single-player games that were heavily story driven. My main idea ...
