I've never really been one to show my face online, being perfectly content being behind some text or a microphone.
So considering I'm running the #TrySomethingNew Challenge right now, it only seemed fitting to push myself slightly outside my own comfort zone. Just like I was asking others to do.
If you've not already gotten your submissions in for this, there are still a couple more days to enter with a change to win some of the 50 SBD prize pool! You can read the full contest rules here:
https://steemit.com/trysomethingnew/@sykochica/challenge-i-want-everybody-to-do-something-new-this-week-50-steem-dollars-in-prizes
It really pretty lax, merely calling for just what it says...push yourself to try something you've never tried. Write a post on it, and toss the link into the challenge's comments so I can find it. That's it!!
To me, this embodies the Steemit Spirit to share parts of yourself, learn from others and experience things you'd never even thought of doing. Some you like..some you won't...but I guaranty you one thing:
YOU WILL GROW!!

I'm way more skilled podcasting and writing, but that's ok. It's my turn to be a noob!

You are awesome @sykochica, you got this. I was a newb blogger three weeks ago, I think I'm getting good now haha

Thank you! :D
We'll see how it goes...how much I enjoy it. But at least it's all working now (thank god, lol). So next time I feel like pushing myself...it's only a couple button clicks away!
I remember when you first started up here...happening to catch your intro post! You definitely seem WAAAY more comfortable now. :)

Yeah I'm one of those people as well. But there's nothing to worry about really, most people hate their voices :D

Hehe..I can rather relate there! Though when I switch into podcast mode, my voice seems to get more confident.
I definitely hope you enter the challenge! Even if not being on video (that was just my thing), I look forward to what you do find. :)

Always a voice of inspiration. I look forward to meeting you in person one day.
*On a side note - I understand the not getting too personal with faces attached to online things, especially with "big brother and facial recognition Ai" all up in our business.

While I can't argue the big brother points...it really doesn't bother me. I've never been one to shy away from whatever I feel like doing (obviously I keep myself within subjective moral and ethical grounds).
I've just been the type to not even think about faces, remembering people more for their core concepts, vibes/energies, etc. So things like this rarely even come to mind for me to do. But I'd thought about streaming some games a while back, hence why I had the camera. Lol

I hear ya. That's cool about the game streaming, I wish they had this tech years back was I was an avid gamer. I was a StarCraft junkie. - When you get a chance let me know about the steem cards stuff from your other post. I'm going to turn in now. I'll catch up with you in the morning.

Way to lead by example and excellent initiative @sykochica! I'm actually thinking of doing more vlogs since I'm so comfortable blogging and writing fiction. Time to step it up a notch and grow even more in the process!

Nice! I fully support this initiative! :D I agree with all your sentiments about growth, my friend. I remember a few years ago, there was a certain period in my life when I decided to just say yes to everything. Suffice to say, I got into quite a bit of antics, but in the end, I broke out of my shell and grew as a person. It's always nice to loosen up sometimes :D

I've been thinking about this contest, and I haven't come up with anything to submit that I could actually manage to put together for a submission.
I agree with you about skydiving, why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
