I slept a bit better last night, but at around 11pm I woke up and started fiddling with the app I use to make my YouTube thumbnails. I don’t even know what cosmic forces caused me to wake up and do that but something really awesome came from it! I am even more excited to release these first few episodes of Desserts on the channel come February! Episode 1 is very close to being complete and it’s been a pretty emotional project for me. It’s crazy that all of my content is shot and edited on my iPhone 6. I type up all the story structures and scenes in the Pages app, record voice overs and sounds with the Voice Memos app, edit and put everything together in iMovie, and create custom thumbnails with a humble little painting app my brother recommended to me. I am so grateful for all that this little hand held device does for me—it’s truly amazing! But on the flip side it’s pretty scary for me also. This phone is like my creative life line, if I lose it or it got stolen...I’d have nothing. I definitely wouldn’t be able to buy a new one right now. It’s a possibility that kinda haunts me. But I try my best to just be on point and not stress about it so much. I love making art, I love blogging and making videos. I love sharing stories with others and hearing other people’s stories. So I’m gonna keep pushing forward! And one day I will be able to buy a nice laptop, nicer editing software, a professional camera. But for now I’m not gonna let not having those things stop me from putting my all into the projects I care about. 💜
