I woke up this morning with several thoughts.  One, why are there always so many ideas running through my head?  Two, is it time I do another behind the scenes entry to share this?  And three, why do I have Frank Sinatra music in my head?

Okay so I always have music in my head, but it was High Hopes and it filled me with joy.  But anyway, those other thoughts were definitely enough to make me think that this was a good idea.  Originally, this was just gonna be another Facebook post, then I thought maybe I’d split ’em up into several Facebook updates, and finally, I realized it was big enough to be a blog post where I touch on all the things.  Thus, here we are in a more in-depth full-on entry.

A lot of stuff has been running through my brain lately.  Since I’ve been having fun breathing new life into blog entry categories and creating graphics for them, I was starting to think maybe there’s too much I’m doing/wanting to do.  But I still plan on eventually doing two blog entries a week, so having extra categories will give me more to choose from throughout the weeks.

Of course, increasing the output will require setting a schedule, which will depend on the work schedule I get when I find a job, so it’ll be a while before I officially announce which days will have a blog entry.

Another thing that I’ve been wanting to do for some time is more entries in the Nostalgic Look-backs.  I’ve been enjoying reviews from Allison Pregler and Phelan Porteous, so that has been motivating me for a while.  I’d love to do more reviews, but at the same time, I know that I want to do something a little unique so that I’ll have fun with it.  Ideas of how to do it and how this could evolve in the future are things I’m exploring.  I won’t say too much at this moment, but there will definitely be a variety of things I’ll touch on and I’m looking into how I could introduce an extra element to take advantage of my love for stream of consciousness stuff.

Then there’s that little elephant in the room regarding Twitch streams.  I haven’t played much games lately, but I still watch other streamers during my downtime, so the urge to stream again has been rising.  There were some tech issues for a while, but I’ve taken care of them and I’m excited to return to livestreaming.  I have ideas for other things I’d like to do on my channel, but as with future blog content, I’ll wait until I have things fully set up and decided before I announce something.

Lastly, I’ve been trying to think of other things I’d like to share and offer.  My main goal has always been to entertain people, but the idea of teaching something has also been in the back of my mind.  I’ve always loved writing, and I feel that with some of the notes I mentioned in the My Return entry from last year, there may be something I could tap into and create lessons of some sort.  Right now, a lot of those notes are kind of all over the place, but this is something I’d love to do.  I know I’ve always loved hearing about others’ creative processes, so it’ll be fun to share my own take on things.

Obviously, this is a lot and will take a while to set-up, but I actually feel that it won’t be that maddening.  Managing my time will be key, and mini-habits are making me feel that all this is possible, so I have enough faith that once I find work and create a schedule around that, I’ll be able to ease in and experiment.

I was trying to shy away from saying anything about this for a while, but I eventually realized that I should go into just enough so I can keep some of the details a surprise.

Thank you all for reading!  Stick around for more fun in the coming weeks. 🙂
