Say Goodbye to Game Streaming, Hello to More Livewriting · 2:18am Sep 20th, 2022
Well, as I fully expected, nobody voted to say they supported my game or sim-racing videos (or, by extension, the game streams).
So- those are mostly over now. I'm only going to make videos when I have something clearly in mind, or when something unusual happens when sim-racing (I'm not giving that up, on my own time anyway).
But I've been experimenting with streaming and then with making game videos for two years now. I've learned a bit about video editing, but I haven't found any real regular audience, and in the process I've lost a lot of Patreon support by wasting time and energy that could have gone into what you really wanted- writing.
So- the new program, henceforth, is this: 7 PM Central is WRITING TIME.

If I'm home and not otherwise committed to something (like, for example, picking up merchandise later), I will do a live-writing stream on Twitch for at least ninety minutes a night. Any games will come AFTER that point and AFTER I've run out of steam for that particular bit of writing, if they come at all.
And, furthermore, it'll be whatever I feel like playing to relax- not necessarily what makes good Twitch/YouTube content. I'm not going to waste hours planning for game streams- I'm just going to do stuff once the actual work is over.
Hopefully dropping this stuff (and video editing, in particular, is a MAJOR job that can eat DAYS of my time and energy) will give me back the concentration and energy to get writing again.
(And yes, a lot if not most of the writing will be ponies, although I am pondering a sort of ripoff of Isekai Quartet called Isekai Book Club, because of a bit of Twitter exchange I did with the creator of El Goonish Shive some weeks back...)
I look forward to catching your writing streams.
I really enjoy your writing, especially CSP and the Maretian :)
Must admit totally missed that you do streams (then again - that is per usual for me, I somehow manage to live under a rock in that regard) am looking forward to take a peek, though might need to do so via archives.

Any idea about a Crossover with Bubblegum Crisis?
