As I write this blog post I’m at the cusp of another livestream for Massively Overpowered. I promise that’s not a plug for the channel or for my stream (though perhaps it should be), but it’s basically a marker in the sand of where I’m at right now in my professional career as a writer for the site.

Let me provide a little context: MJ, the site’s primary livestreamer, suffered a pretty spectacular lightning strike at her house. Mercifully everyone is fine, but she’s been mostly knocked out of streaming, which she used to do every day. By comparison, I did streams for the site barely once a month, if that much, mostly because I wasn’t confident in a lot of things about my ability to be a streamer or a content creator. However, since the weather incident, I’ve done my part to keep the MOP Twitch channel alive by doing weekly streams every Sunday and Wednesday. And I’m having a lot of fun dong it.

That said, you’d be forgiven for thinking I don’t like writing considering how infrequently I post here. So, yes, I’m re-entering Blaugust in its rebirth as a personal challenge to know if I really want to be a content creator. But what does that mean, honestly?

And how much of my desire to do this to myself was born from enjoying this very colorful logo?

So, my husband and I have this YouTube channel thing.

YT-Banner

Complete with some seriously snappy logo art.

I was pretty skeptical about the idea, to be completely blunt. There’s myriad Let’s Play videos on YouTube and many more of them are far cleverer and more interesting than I believe myself to be. That said, I agreed to the idea on the strength of my husband’s very obvious enthusiasm and the hopes that his accent would be more interesting to hear than my own fat face. About two months removed from our launch, I think I can outline my thoughts on the project at this early stage.
