My Goals Due December 2018

- Stream 100 Days
- Inspired by the likes Professor Broman and Gary Vee (both available in podcast format on Google Play), any work done ought to be documented. This isn't a new concept for a software developer like myself. However, the purpose is about the process - heck, anything that I do can be a stepping stone or learning experience for others.
I'll be trying out places like Twitch, Mixer, and Facebook Live, doing things like playing games and learning how to do voice-overs. My gamertag account is RowmanSailor and will be used for all the testing, but I may move to the account GreyLibrary for broadcasting in the long term. (Can always abandon it if I don't feel keen on streaming.)
But why 100 days? Because, on Twitch, if a person streams for 90 days, they are already in the top 20th or 10th percentile of all streamers ever. (It's a numbers game, folks.) - Voice Work
- Strangers I meet will consistently comment on my voice. Can I refine that into something more? Maybe. This quarter is all about learning (I want to be a voice actor) and practice (talking while on stream, reading aloud stories and snippets, putting a demo together).
- Creative Writing
- Not sure if this will be followed-up on fully. However, it ties in nicely with the goal of voice work. It's always safe to read your own material online :)
Whatever the case, writing is a creative fallback from both streaming and speaking. - Say No!
- I've already messed this up at the time of writing as the quarter has already started a few days ago. Saying "no" is incredibly tough for me and it must not be.
Let's see if I can do any better going forward, at least protecting a two hour time slot every morning to stream for the next 100 days!
For any interested, I jammed to some epic Beethoven on YouTube getting these goals down and this post written. Again, this process of goal-setting come from YouTuber Jenna Moreci. If you would like to keep up with this process, check me out on Twitter @JimmyChattin.
The principle of this quarter's goals is to be epic like Lord Vader. Wouldn't you agree this is what we can all strive for?
