So much has happened since the last time I posted and I am excited to bear it all. So as far as content creation I am still keeping up on that after going on hiatus for about a month. But with the anniversary of one of my all time favorite games Kingdom Hearts this year, and the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts IV, I am setting my sights on beating a few records. I am going to do my research and see what the records are as well as brush up on my skills. With that said come join and watch me on twitch as I play along with the my comfort game and play all the way through. You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer is proposing a challenge to Google Stadia to put all of the Kingdom Hearts games onto their servers to bring the joy across multiple screens and for others to enjoy wherever they are. I have a special soft spot in my heart for these games as I used to play them with someone dear to me and have very fond memories. Being a Disney fan as well as a gamer myself whose first games were Final Fanstasy VII and VIII, I became very fond of the game itself when I recieved it as a Christmas present as a child. Well anyway I am sure some of you may be wondering how my other endeavors may be coming along, and well I am still gaining traction on social media, which as we all know isn't very easy to do just overnight. But I do appreciate those that take the time to read these little sections about me as just by reading I am receiving support, as well if you are reading this than I suggest you take a look at my other social media accounts, you can find me across most of social media by my moniker of You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer or my gamer tag of Yfns96. I will also being taking any suggestions of content to write for anyone that would like a step by step guide of what I am doing online to work on my forms of passive income. I do still have my website up with not only my links but also a store with a few items up for gamers and non a like. I will be posting up the books I have been reading that have been helping as well up there. I will soon be recording audiobooks for ACX, and I will also be posting the links on there. I do have a piece up on how to become an Amazon associate and promote amazon products to sell online and make a commission. I will be posting another one about becoming an ACX agent as well as how to set up an account on here for those of you who are writers as well. There are plenty of option out there and I want to help show you that you don't have to stick to the daily nine to five grind. You can just check out the Nine to Five on my YouTube channel and leave that grind to You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer! I do wish to remind you that I am working on trying to break away from the regular job and show that no matter who you are, what you do that you can still do what you want. Again if anyone is interested in doing anything similar and would like to get a hold of me than you are more than welcome to get in touch with me on my website, I will get back to you personally by email or you can also hit any of my direct lines on social media. Until next time my friends stay safe and have fun!

Looking to be a Creator?
So you are looking at becoming a streamer or content creator yourself? Than you have the right article or at least a good one to start. See everyone has to start somewhere and don't worry about not knowing what to do. Alright now the first thing that you want to do is find something that you enjoy, whether that is cooking, playing video games, painting, creating things and yes even that thing that you think no one out there is going to watch or to like. Trust me there will always be an audience out there that is going to watch you and be excited to see what you do next. Next just start, yes it's that simple, just start doing what you enjoy and record it, share it, edit your work and don't be afraid. I know that can be easy to hear, read and even easier to say it out loud, but it's the getting over that part. I can't and won't beat the dead horse that most of society will tell you to do. I honestly find those words very repetitive and not very helpful at all. I can say though that once you just take that first big step, the next one is smaller, that third step gets even smaller and so on. What I am here to say is if you don't feel that anyone will watch your niche, you can reach out to me on my socials and I will drop a like, follow, share. Now a days it has become easier to help support one another even across long distances. Tracking back to becoming a content creator, and streamer yourself you don't need any fancy equipment or have to have the biggest following or even to be following the latest trends on social media to begin. I am sure as you find across other articles as well that all the biggest streamers, content creators, celebrities, and anyone that has been doing their craft for while that they started somewhere. After you start, all you have to do is keep consistent and even keep doing research on what you are doing. In other words, keep on keeping on. Bruce Lee once said, "I do not fear the man that has mastered 100 kicks, but the man who has mastered one kick 100 times", basically get really good at what you do and keep sharpening your sword of knowledge on it. I do most if not all of my videos and editing just off my phone with free apps, as well as screen recording. If you are looking to go the twitch route and even if you are not into gaming you will have an audience. Whether that is cooking, playing card games, doing magic, heck just even talking about something you are passionate about. There are even a lot of places that you are able to stream live or mobile. A few of these include the ever popular Twitch, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, now you don't need any fancy software to even start or a state of the art phone. All that I would recommend is that you get a device that has a large storage capacity. As often I have found that video files while editing take up a lot of space on any device. If you are a gamer, I do recommend that you look into Stadia or even using mobile games you already play, most devices have the screen share option and I would recommend using Twitch as you are able to stream right from your device, whether you are sharing your screen or you can stream right from your camera. With most of these apps, there is the option when you go to post or upload a video of going live. Some social media sites require you to meet a certain number of followers before going live. I did run across this with TikTok, and with one of their recent updates to their app, they added the option to share your screen but they have a requirement of having eighteen thousand followers. Which if you stay consistent with your posts on TikTok, than you can amass a following fairly fast. But there is no guarantee on making it viral, and there is no absolute to be all end all way to make it viral or else we all would be viral. The biggest hurtle that you are going to have is your mindset. As simple as that sounds it's very true, whether you think you can or you think you can't you will be right. What all your teachers, mentors, adults, TV shows, random posters in schools and what seemed to be repeated everywhere growing up is actually true. You are what you think, so once you start to believe in yourself than no matter how many followers or views you are getting online you will be reaching out to your true audience. And that brings me to my next point, as it does help to have a lot of followers more often than not it does take some time to amass such a following, but you will find that you will have some followers that will support and share your content no matter what. You're quality followers will help you bring in a quantity of followers. Let me say that again but differently. You're true fans will want to show your content to their own people who are like minded, who in turn will show their people. Much like the ripples of a wave, you may not start off as a big wave from just standing on the shore, but as it reaches across the water that small ripple gains momentum. Now there are hit and miss days, which comes with everything you do. Now making content every day can be quite tiresome and in no way am I ever going to tell you that you need to be making something every day. That is another perk to being a content creator, if you need to take a bit of a break from creating do so! I cannot stress how important it is to rest while being a content creator. Creative burnout is a real thing and will also have you start to resent your own passions and hobbies for which you so wanted to share with the world. As you continue on your journey you will find your own way, with your own path. In a short recap, find what you love, share it, believe in yourself, master it, and make sure to get rest. I won't take up too much of your time anymore, so I will be wrapping it up with this. Go forth and prosper friends!

Just Sixty Seconds
Oliver sat at a cold, grey steel-covered table. He knew he was next. The longer he sat here, the more confident he knew he wouldn’t make it. His hands were tied to the chair he was sitting on, pushed up against the steel table. A small camera in the corner of the ceiling with a tiny red flashing light was the only thing he was focused on. He felt sick to the stomach. He knew he didn’t have long.
