Starting a YouTube isn’t that easy

I’m starting to think that I may be a little bit nonverbal in the sense of I can’t say things. But that could be just in my head.

Today I told myself I was ready to start my YouTube channeI. I got my recording space set up. I knew my topic. I wrote all of my notes so I will be able to begin recording. I did it in a bullet point fashion so I was able to continue to talk afterwards. I ran through what I was going to say in my head about 5-10 times. Then I sat everything down and pressed record. I looked at the paper and said everything in less than two minutes. Bullet points did not work at all. I stumbled over my words. I recorded four times over and it no where near everything I had said in my head. When I played it back everything made since, but it was very choppy. What I learned is that I will have to write a full on script. I am still going to post it as my first post because I think it is a good representation of my process.

Moral of the story: From here on out I will be writing the post first and using the posts as my script so I can actually say what I want to say. The first episode on YouTube is an about me. The whole channel is about me, so it will be fine. The posts will only get better.
