 What's shaking? My name's Cam. Welcome back to another video. So I'm not really known on Northatube for like being a vlogging guy. So it's already obvious that I don't really do this a lot. So I don't really vlog. I've just never considered my life like interesting enough to put on film outside of the regular videos I do, but I wanted to try it. I wanted to give it a go. And I don't know. Just give you a little peek into I suppose how one of my days might look if I'm actually getting some writing done. I said at the start of the year that I didn't just want my videos to be just me sitting in that room talking to the camera and pretty much for the year so far that's all they have been. So I wanted to get out and prove that I'm a real person. You know prove that I can actually interact with the world around me. I don't know this might come off as a little bit rough but give me a break. This is my first try. Here it is the first of hopefully many writing vlogs. How do they how do they do the transitions? They're like they go oh shit hang on. What a beautiful sunny day. The storm knocked all my lemons off the tree. God damn. Wake up Potter. We're going to the zoo. God damn. I look cute. You know something I've been thinking about quite a lot recently is that if everything goes to plan this year I will technically have five books out or maybe more appropriately I should say I'll have five stories out. As of right now I only have two. There's local haunts which is the horror anthology made up entirely of like people in the YouTube community. I have a short story in that one and then there is also my psychological horror novel Welcome Descent which I released in like January so like that was like six months ago now. So yeah as of right now there's a short story I have published and a novel but by the end of the year if everything goes to plan I'll also have two more stories and two separate anthologies and also my own collection of horror short stories. So there's the anthology of horror short stories that I myself am like collating and managing. That one's called We Are Not Home. I've talked about it quite a lot recently so you probably already know about that. Basically about 13 the 14 short stories horror short stories from people on YouTube. YouTubers who have written these and all of those horror short stories are around the theme of vacations or holidays or travel or being in an unfamiliar place and then there's also the second horror tube anthology as a sequel to this one which was done by Regina from Regina's Haunted Library. There's a second one to this coming out called Served Cold which is much the same thing. It's a collection of horror short stories around the theme of like cold so like snow or winter or you know anything like that and then the last one is my own collection of horror short stories that I've been working on since like last year that I'm really excited about and there's no particular theme with that one but I've got to say I'm really excited to finish it because I think some of the short stories in that one are just if I can be if I can be so bold I think they're actually really cool. Yeah that's what I've got going on. What about you? Hey ugly. Ugly. Um if you don't like me that's fine but you know watch him out. Hey Kate Kavanaugh made twitch partner let's go. Nice work Kate. So I know I've been talking for a very long time about finishing that collection of horror short stories. I keep saying I'm stuck on finishing two of the stories which is true but just to prove to you that I have done quite a lot of work on it I want to show you something. This is the folder with all of the drafts for the stories that I've finished in there. These are all short stories for the collection that I've actually finished writing. They're just drafts so I do need to go over them again and these aren't the actual titles they're just like placeholders I've put in there but yeah look that's quite a few. How many is that? So that's 10 of them and I have about two more I want to finish so in total it's looking like there's going to be about you know 12 or 13 stories total which I think is a pretty good number of short stories for an end not an anthology sorry a short story collection I used to call it an anthology before I found out that apparently anthologies are only if there are different authors involved. I figured I would go to the shops and grab some snacks because I'm doing a live stream over on twitch tonight and like doing some writing sprints that kind of stuff I'm actually really excited because I plan on doing a lot more like streams in future I've been saying for a long time that I want to do like a lot more streams on twitch like I have a weekly live stream with writing sprints on youtube which I also stream the twitch but I want to have like three to four streams a week exclusively on twitch as well you know doing writing sprints just chatting about writing or pretty much anything actually just just like hanging out with other people I've got a lot of really really fun stuff planned for that so I'm pretty excited but in the meantime I want to make sure I have something to stack on so I'm going to mask up go to the shops get the goods let's do it pencils down everyone that is the end of the end of the writing session pencils down please tightest laugh how good is it though ah it's like really late I probably shouldn't do that just finished my second live stream for the week over on twitch such a blast so much fun that was technically the first ever live stream I've done exclusively on twitch all of the other live streams I've done have been on both youtube and twitch at the same time but that was my first like official twitch live stream I'm a twitch I'm a twitcher in our guys no it was it was really really fun I had a blast um I had a lot more people than I was expecting I used to have like an average of like two to three people on the stream at any one time now it's averaging around 25 people it's just it's crazy and um it's a lot of fun everyone in the stream that's chatting in the chat gets their own little like avatar that they can dress however they want with coins and like all this cool stuff like that like we do the writing sprints and we still try to get stuff done but there's a whole lot of other social social stuff that we do as well so I don't know I'm just I'm just having such a good time with it I'm really excited for my next stream over on twitch which is in a couple of days which isn't writing sprint so it's it's literally just chatting I'm calling it the writers coffee club because I'm going to be doing it every week and there aren't really a whole lot of writers on twitch that I found like people doing writing sprints on twitch there's not a lot of them but that's the plan I'm looking forward to it with tonight's stream after it ended I did a raid on this guy called timber anew well the channel the twitch channel is called timber anew it's this really really like nice guy called Clint over in east england and he does like wood carvings which is one of my just favorite things to watch when i'm winding down I like watching people carve things from wood there's Clint from timber anew that I like watching I also like watching Brock's from New Zealand he does big wood carvings as well but we did a raid on Clint and that was a lot of fun as well we chatted with him for a while but I should probably try and make an actual youtube youtube video now I guess I think that'll do it for today guys thanks for watching let me know how your writing's going let me know what you're working on I hope this was it I hope this was like at least mildly entertaining as far as writing vlogs go keep in mind this is like this is my first one um but yeah I hope it was fun at least seeing a little bit more of me outside of that room follow me over on twitch so I can talk to you soon I think actually tomorrow for me and thank you for watching the video's over now so go get some writing done catch ya
