BrandonBits

I'm beginning to feel like my old self again. Focusing on the Jesse Boomer trilogy took a lot out of me. Pouring so much into the trilogy left me feeling burnt out on writing. I had to take a break from everything for a while, then slowly get back into being creative by working on something completely different. That something turned out to be my web series, BrandonBits. While I originally figured I'd use the series to just talk about my writing or share footage of places I've visited, keeping things rather sedate and professional in an effort to boost sales by presenting a refined image, I decided to instead tap back into my more unhinged side and add some flavor to the series by simply doing what I want, heh, just like old times. Not putting restrictions on myself has really helped me unlock my creativity again and embrace my eccentricities.

Plenty of times I regretted not going to college for writing instead of digital media. Just recently I've come to terms with my choices. Having been told I possess what cannot be taught in any writing classes, and using the digital media skills I had to learn, I feel it's all coming together to ensure a successful future. Of course, that future might be a long way off, but I refuse to settle. Roadblocks may discourage me for a time, but I always bounce back with a new scheme or project to immerse myself in and aid in reaching more readers.

Also, thank you very much to the readers and friends I have that encourage me to keep at it—especially one friend in particular, whose support of all my creative endeavors over the past six months has been incomparable (you know who you are). In this visual world of creatives, memes, pictures of food and material things, many writers tend to get lost in the shuffle (I often feel like one of them); however, every fan and friend counts in making me feel like less of a complete unknown.
Anyway, now that I have four episodes of the series done, and footage already shot for episodes five and six, it's about time I refocused my attention on finishing the next book, Snapshot Existence.
