Of course, the first comment out of my mouth was, "Have you seen me in front of a video camera... I am sure it is safer for society if I remain away from vlogging!"
Naturally the response by fellow blogger/vlogger Julie from Life According to Julie was, "NOW YOU HAVE TO VLOG. You can't say that and not produce!"
Now, I took that as a challenge. And what it comes down to is I have a hard time backing down from a challenge. So, I sat there and I did a lot of thinking. And while I originally thought, "There is no way in HELL I can do a Vlog!" my mind suddenly switched gears and I thought, "With that being said, there is no way in HELL I can not do a Vlog!"
Did you ever get an idea stuck in your head and suddenly that is all you could think about. Well, that is what happened. So suddenly I thought it would be a great idea to do a Vlog about all the reasons why I shouldn't do a Vlog. I even woke up at 3 a.m. this morning tossing around the excuses in my head.
The solution: If I didn't get this Vlog finished, there was a good chance I would not sleep again tonight. So here we have it... my very first VLOG! Hope you enjoy!
I have to admit, the Vlog was actually pretty fun to do! Who knows, maybe it is something that I will continue with. But for this time, I even dressed up for the occasion. After all, it is important to make a good first impression!
lol! I loved this, Stacy! great job! You are a natural. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks - I was pretty nervous and the really really strong coffee I had this morning didn't help any! :)
Deletewhat do you wear that is funny.... Bloggiong like this is a heck of a lot different than putting yourself out there for people to see. You vlog,, and i bet you (being a attractive female) are going to get quite of odd requests.. but i dont want to be negative..I wish you best of luck..
DeleteLook at you! First saying you'd never do it...and then you make it to over 11 minutes! I love the pop-up comments that jump out while you're talking. Loved this..look forward to watching more vlogs from you ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started I was like... oh this will be short. I guess I blarf at the mouth just like I blarf in almost every comment I make as well. I can't help it. I am a writer and words just shoot out of my mouth. Glad you enjoyed this. I just needed someone to say I had to do it. Now if only that technique would work for writing my book! :)
DeleteThis was awesome Stacy and agree with Melanie and love the pop-up comments; I would know how to do that if I tried. Totally enjoyed!!
ReplyDeleteI am still messing around with Windows Movie Maker. I wish I had a better program but for the time being, that will have to work. Maybe at the beginning of the year I will invest (so I can write it off on taxes) in video editing software if I keep up with this. I also want to invest in a new laptop!
DeleteReally great job, Stacy! You are a braver woman than me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh... now we need to get you jumping on the bandwagon! ;)
Deletehaha...you rocked it girl.
ReplyDeleteyou look awesome in RED with good hairstyle and a good rich voice and you sure nailed it :)
i liked the captions on your video...how did ya do it?
Thank you. I have always been told Red was my color so I wear it a lot. As for the captions... It is a part of the movie maker program I currently use. It came with my computer!

ReplyDeleteLet's try that again---apparently for a writer, I have trouble typing--Loved this! Loved the dress and your speaking voice is really great by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you. My speaking voice was the hardest part about the whole thing. I hate the way I sound recorded. And I have a tendency to trip on my own tongue. Maybe I just need to do more of these. Practice makes perfect!
DeleteSooo good! But I'm still not getting in front of the camera -- I'll leave that to all you much younger gals! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Who knows - maybe with enough of a push we will get everybody on board... even you! :)
DeleteYes - yes you are going to have to do that VLOG - maybe if you get that Vlog done I will finally have the push I need to sign up for NaNoWriMo! Come on -- do it for the kids! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood job Stacy! You sound great, look great, and I think there are more of these in your future.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I am definitely going to keep dabbling in them. It was fun to do something a little different! :)
DeleteYou did a great job. I have the same problem in talking too fast, or, maybe people in the South simply have a problem listening too slow. When I did stand-up, I had to be very careful in front of alcohol dulled audiences, especially in the South. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it... why should I have to slow down my speaking... they just listen to slow! LOL
DeleteBrilliant. Bloody awesome! I could never do that, you look and sound really great.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I ain't gonna lie... I was really nervous to post it! :)
