Not a joke, if you believe in tarot cards I had literally like 3 consecutive readings tonight which all said basically the same thing:
"Bree, you should be doing the job applications."
I have not done the job applications.
I have explained previously that the entire universe was lining up to give me the time, the chance, to do so--nothing for me to read, me having done daily stuff, nothing for me to play, being bored, it being way too early to go to sleep, etc. Instead I did nothing, stalling until I had an opportunity to stream.
Now, granted!
Streaming is not a bad thing! It is an incredibly good thing! It is something I may have a future in. But streaming is, explicitly: not something you go into full-time from the onset, from the getgo. You go fulltime on streaming if and only if you have grown to be able to be supported by it, which is...a long-shot. You need to get affiliate, get a bunch of subs, get a bunch of bits, get a constant stream of donations, grow your userbase, etc. Most people? Can't do it. The ones who do usually have viewer counts in the hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands.
I'm lucky to get one.
I realize that I need to do my research. I don't know what to research exactly, but I know that if I want to be successful as a content creator, I do need to do exactly that, the research.
I realize that it's not impossible--but even with research, even if I do everything right, it takes a lot of luck. Luck, research, connections, smart decision making, etc. I've currently got none of those. So it's a long, hard road, it's a big fight, it's something that I will need to dedicate serious time to.
So!
Given that the chance to succeed is like. One in a thousand.
I literally need the stable income of a normal job. It may not be my final path. I will be, ultimately, creating something. I will create stuff. Streams, art, stories, something, my final life job will not be just a part-time job.
But until such a time as I can get the big money in that dream job type area.
I need to be pragmatic and sustain myself on the normal job area.
And I'm not doing so yet.
Which makes me a complete idiot.
I had the time, I had the chance, I had the opportunity.
I didn't take it so I am stupid.
I need to get it done; why is it so hard for me to actually do???
