It is almost 2020, why a blog?

I’m on a quest to experience things I wouldn’t normally do…

So why a blog?

• Because I want to get better at all of those shortcomings
• Because I love the idea of having a creative outlet to express my thoughts freely and I feel like a lot of people can relate to what I think about
• Because I want to put myself out there (as opposed to having a private diary and keeping to myself)
• And lastly, because I want to see how far I can take this

You see, I’m on a quest to experience things I wouldn’t normally do… I’m starting small with writing a blog and will work up to swimming in the open sea (topic for another day).

Last year (November 2018), I broke out of my shell and randomly started streaming on Twitch. I had NO idea what I was doing at all, but my main goal was to capture those funny gaming moments I had with my friends. But now, a year later, and I have amassed a follower count of 250 (at the time of writing this post). I have a bunch of people who actually enjoy watching and interacting with me and my friends! It has been an enjoyable experience and I have my heart set on becoming a partner with Twitch in the future.

But Josh, blogging is hard. You don’t know anything about SEO. You don’t know how to captivate an audience through written word. There are so many nuances to blogging that you don’t even have a clue about.

• What are you going to write about?
• How are you going to have people find your blog?
• Are those people who find your blog, actually going to enjoy the content?

That’s all true, I honestly have no idea. But one thing I do know, is that I just have to start. If it’s anything like starting a stream, it’ll grow and evolve as I do. These things will come to me as I continue to learn and explore the world of blogging.

This blog will see many design changes as I try to find the best style that fits me. Stick around and let’s go on this journey together!
