Let's be honest for a second; I suck at blogging.
Even more so, I suck at vlogging. Blogging takes so much less effort than creating a video log of your daily events, routine, thoughts, etc. With vlogging, you need to create a space for your viewers, you need to put on a face for your viewers (not to be confused with facade, but more so just needing to be entertaining), and then you have to edit whatever you end up with and play with it so that it is at least somewhat interesting.
I seem to lack the interesting. Or at least I think I do. I also seem to lack the face for it, because I can often watch myself, and, not only do I get embarrassed, but I get bored! Are other people getting bored? Am I being my worst critic right now? Bah!
I have been thinking of getting back into vlogging though. I made a video four months ago in which I promised the global audience of YouTube that I would vlog "more often". The previous video (not including the waste of five seconds which was listening to my teddy bear laugh) was apparently done a year ago. A YEAR AGO. That was when Pottermore first went live in beta mode for us hardcore Potterheads (of which I do not believe I am to be considered).
I have two video log ideas in mind though. And it probably would not be a bad idea to jot them down somewhere so that I don't forget. What resources do I have at my disposal to assist in organizing my online life?! Do I create a private blog entry or do I create a document in Drive?
I love Google, and I think that is why I am making a serious attempt at blogging more often on Blogger. Which reminds me, I still need to figure out what I am going to do with my Wordpress site...
Reader, are you a vlogger? Or do you find the act of vlogging as uncomfortable and awkward as I do and refuse to participate? Or do you still feel that way and, for some unknown reason, continue to broadcast yourself?
