The Support of Friends.

First of all, I want to thank each and every person that has ever watched my livestream, retweeted one of my rambles, read or visited this blog, or watched one of my videos. It means a lot that there are people out there that are willing to support people like me. The little guy in content creation. Someone that doesnt do this as a job, but rather because he enjoys it. It really is awesome, seeing as I only know most of you from the internet, and have never met in real life. Hell, the people online support me more then some of my family does, which I find sort of funny. But thats beside the point.

Support is something that needs to happen when you are part of a community that we are a part of. We arent people that do this for a living, and while some of us would love to make a living off of it, we dont want to lose our love for what we do (thats why my blog posts are so infrequent. I dont want to force posts out, they would come out bad.) I do admit, I would love to Stream and make youtube videos for a living, it would be my dream job, but that isnt my goal. If it happens, then let it happen, but its not what im shooting for. But I digress, and need to get back on topic.

Throughout my short six months of being part of the WoW twitter community, Ive met all sorts of people. Gold makers, bloggers, pet collectors, hardcore raiders, PvPers, and many many more. But what seems to keep most of these people together, is the fact that we support each other in what we do. And its nice, since support is something that doesnt seem to happen much these days.

Wowprofitz, (or Ray)  is someone I am happy to call my friend. He's an awesome guy, does awesome streams, and has an awesome website. But what I think is my favorite part of it, is his streamer and blogger directory. Its nice to see someone so willing to go out of his way to support people like me that arent as well known of noticed as the rest of us. if you have a chance, go a check him out at wowprofitz.com. its an awesome place.

Ian, from A Paladin's Tale, is another example of an awesome supportive person in the community. He made the #wowp5 better known, to help get the message out about some of the smaller and newer podcasts. Its something I try to do as often as I can, since its the least I could do.

All in all, the support that I show, going to the smaller streams, retweeting everything I can, making videos with friends, and these posts. I only do it because of the support I have been shown myself each and everyday I log onto my computer. And even though I sit here, at work in the light booth, I am glad to knock this post out. Because I really do believe that all of you, the community that I have become a part of, need the recognition that you deserve. So I say to all of you, Thank you! Thank you for everything you have done, from all of us little guys.

Upcoming Projects and getting Overwhelmed

For anyone that follows anything that I do, you might of noticed that I havent been producing the amount of Content I would like to produce. I havent really released any new videos, and I havent done a blog post in a week or so. I have been streaming, but really only raids and not just fun little Q&A streams. And I have been doing the podcast, but thats because its on a set schedule and with other friends of mine. But the things that I have to rely on myself to do, they just arent getting done.

I have a bunch of things started, but nothing finished, and thats just because Im getting overwhelmed. I dont really know why, but Its true, I am. Ive tried to set a schedule, but that doesnt seem to really work for me. So what Ive decide to do is to just stop stressing and work on things until they get done. I know I'll get them done, but I have to stop focusing on the when, and focus on creating quality content. I dont want to become someone that produces a lot of crap. I rather release a small amount of good stuff.

That being said, I have a lot of new projects that I will be starting on, some will include friends of mine, others wont. But Im going to be sticking with Quality not Quanity motton, and work on making these new projects the best they can be, not as many episodes they can be. Im also going to be changing somethings around, switching some emails, and getting some new graphics from the Awesome Vero.

Other than all of that, I just want to say thank you to my Friends and to everyone that supports me in this hobby of mine. I like to entertain people, so it makes me feel good that so many people are supporting me as I do this. From my Family, to my Friends, to my guildies, and of course my awesome Boyfriend.
