Starting up again

It’s good to be getting back to my blog.

It’s also a little terrifying. Or at least scary. Particularly because I’m also starting up a vlog to go in conjunction with my blog.

Judging by who is out there to be found on easy internet searches, I’m too old to be a vlogger. Per my own opinion of myself I’m also not attractive enough and I don’t do makeup or style my hair or any of the things thatI ought to be doing to make myself visually appealing for a viewing audience. Perhaps best to stick to a blog where no one has to see me, jsut whatever I choose to photograph.

Oh well. I’ve started on a vlogging journey, and I plan on sticking with it. Why I decided to start vlogging is its own mystery. I have a vlog that I watch a lot, but it’s not by a baker, and that is what I have ended up vlogging — at least so far. From watching those vlogs, somehow I fell down a rabbit hole and fell into another vlog that, among other things, is about vlogging. That vlogger said to jump in and just get started, and it didn’t matter what I was vlogging. At least not at first.

So, I jumped in. I decided to vlog about baking, since that is something that I think that I can come up with new material to do and talk about at least once a week.
My plan is to accompany my vlogs with blogs, where I can take more time to talk about what I did and why. Also, include other things that I don’t talk about in the vlog.
I’m not entirely sure why I decided to try and be a content creator. I guess I wanted a stable job that I can do from anywhere. And I know, being a content producer isn’t exactly what would usually be considered a stable or reliable job, but when your other job is being an adjunct college professor, it changes your perspective on what counts as stable and relaible. Creating content only relies on myself and I can at least predict whether I will be working three months from now or not.

So here I go on a new adventure into becoming a content creator. If I’m lucky, I might even produce something that will bring a bit of an income eventually. time will tell.

Here goes.
