The Uncertain Future of My YouTube Channel (An Important Notice to Everyone)

Hello all. No fancy intros here today, I'm only here to be very real about what's maybe going to happen shortly if all works out.

I'll be moving back home this month, either before Christmas or just slightly after the holidays. When I do, while I'll have a room to sit in, it's not private because it's joined to the old room where my brother now stays. That means that being able to do YT readings won't be possible while I'm home.

We do have a summer house/man cave, which is where I did the majority of my earliest readings, but my family tends to go in there during the night like I used to do, which leaves the same issue as the one above. In order to record, I require privacy and silence for quality reasons and concentration reasons. My plans to build a home studio have unfortunately been torn down in light of the situation following some measurements for space.

Now, all this...it leaves the future of my channel uncertain. I've been trying to put out as many videos as I can to compensate for this impending event, as you've noticed with the readings I've put out for Flutterpriest lately. I'm also about to enter a milestone that I've been dreaming of for years. My channel has almost hit 1K subscribers! Now, THAT is what I never thought I'd see on my channel. I never expected it to grow and get as far as it did.

I've had to miss out on doing those 'subscriber special' videos some YouTubers make to mark the occasion, and I think I'll have to miss this one too. I'm not bothered by it a whole lot, but it does seem a shame to have to miss it and not be able to do anything special for the day it happens. That being said, I aren't sure what will happen exactly or how these new changes in my life will affect my production speed and quantity of releases.

There's still so much I want to do. So much more left undone. So many laughs yet to be had and many more tears to be shed. There is a list of potential readings I've compiled and I'm working through slowly to put out there, but am only posting the stories I gain permission from the authors to put out there. I'm waiting on one at the moment, as a matter of fact.

In other news, I've been referred to a potential job for work experience with paying work hours, which is fantastic (if my CV goes through, of course! ) And I've decided to go back to college in next August/September to pursue music at a L3 stage. I'm definitely going to be busy in 2021. I have plenty of things I have yet to do and more to come. I'm still trying to figure out a way how to adapt and morph my time around creating content for YouTube and keeping the channel going. I want this so bad to work. I'm not about to give up now.

So, to all that watch me, support me and enjoy the content I put out, try and rest assured that I'm not giving up on my channel, even if I go dark for a while and if you see no new content on a regular basis. I may still be working on videos on the side IF I find the time. At this time, I can't make any promises nor dictate when I'll be available.

All I ask is that you remember this one thing: I'm working on it.

I'll do what I can, when I can. Maybe one day when everything works out, I may return to YT by either late 2021 or 2022, perhaps for full-time! That's considering that I can make enough money to get me my own place where I can truly start to get focused on generating content at a professional level.

To those who watch me and have stuck by me through all this time, thank you a whole lot. Your support means the world to me.

I hope to see you all on the other side when the hurly-burly is done, when the battle is lost and won. 💛

Yeah, sorry...that just fit in well with the context of this blog, so: meh.
