Hey everyone! So excited to be here! I’m a lover of stories and asking questions! I value listening just as much as speaking up (maybe more). I enjoy craft coffee, reading thought-provoking and fiction books, watching great plot line movies, theater (especially character development), my marriage and three kids. My goal is to tell my story on YouTube. Growth and traction/ being see would be great, but I think I’m more focused on what makes a good story? How to show, not tell— say the main point without rambling etc. I need like-minded people and creators in my life. That’s why I’m here. To learn and be encouraged to make something… anything. I started my YouTube channel last March and have been limping along, half-ignoring that it exists and that I really DO want to tell attractive stories through it. There are so many amazing methods of storytelling but I haven’t found my method yet in the video world. Some of my big hangups in creating and posting are the amount of steps it seems to take for just one short. I need simplification and better habits/tactics… maybe ideas for automation. Excited to start in on some courses and see where that takes me! Thanks for being creative alongside me! Lauren
