Not the Content I Want to Consume
Last weekend, I went over to a local friend’s place to drop some stuff off. “Local” is kind of a misnomer since he lives about 80 miles away, but I was happy to make the drive. He’s got a YouTube woodworking channel, which I admit, I used to watch a lot of, but of late, I’ve really fallen off. Why? That’s coming up in a second.
Steal Creatively
I had another discussion lately with a prospective writer who claimed they couldn’t come up with anything to write about. I don’t see how that is possible. Open your eyes! There are ideas everywhere! It is literally impossible to have no ideas if you are even remotely competent.
So here’s how I come up with ideas. Keep in mind, I have 40+ books I already know I’m writing in the future. This honestly isn’t that hard.
Changing Your POV
I just saw a random video on YouTube, from a guy named Brandon McNulty, who had 5 things that he hates about being a writer. I watched it, mostly because I was bored, but I have to say that I honestly don’t have any of those problems. In his comments, lots of people were complaining about the same thing. I can relate to the idea, but not to the actual issue because I just don’t suffer from it. Therefore, I wanted to respond to his list.
Gaming Burnout?
I’ve seen a lot of videos on YouTube lately on dealing with video game burnout, but that’s not my problem. I have a hard time finding any modern games that I want to play. I still want to play. I just think most modern games suck. It’s not a problem with the enthusiasm, it’s a problem with the modern product.
So let’s talk about it.
Calling Out Assholes
Recently, someone posted on a stamp collecting group on Facebook that his neighbor had given his children a big stamp collection to enjoy and he was now trying to sell it.
Sorry, but you’re a dick. We need to stop playing around with these assholes. They deserve to be criticized and I’m not going to keep my mouth shut.
