Yesterday, I had no time to do what I’d planned, so I’m gonna do it now. I mean, looking for subs in chats. But before to get there, I wanna say a few words about a new video. I’ve decided to record a video about how to be real in front of the camera. My point is that nobody on youtube is real and the whole internet is a stage. I’m gonna use Shakespeare’s lines to make an intro.

It took me three hours to convince only one person to subscribe to my channel. However, I’ve learned how to do it, and I guess it’s not gonna take too long to do it next time. I even think about writing a strategy, a linguistic algorithm which will turn an average internet user into my subscriber.

I’m thinking about a contradiction between the two modes of writing. I call them slow writing and fast writing. Since I use this diary to support my activity, without carrying, for the last couple of months, about aesthetic value or anything of that sort, I have to admit that fast writing mode dominated this period. I wouldn’t say that I like it. To some extent, I like to write fast without thinking about grammar or precise words, but when it comes down to reading these notes, I suffer as if it were a kind of torture. It is also harmful for my style, to put down whatever first comes to mind. I’m sure that 10 or 20 extra minutes may significantly change the quality of these notes and make future reading more enjoyable. Often I have problems with the beginning and get on any available train of thought just to start. I remember I had a good habit of waiting for a while before writing the first sentence; I need to bring this habit back. I see that my writing needs huge improvement if I want to add value to my videos. There may be many people on youtube who talk like Demosthenes, but very few of them are able to show the grand style in writing. Most of them abuse their language and have very little understanding of what grand style in writing actually is and what it can do. I’m an expert in both writing and reading, but it seems that currently my level has dropped to the lowest point. Hustle, hustle, hustle! Where do I rush? There is always time for slow, mindful thinking. Maybe this all has happened because I extended the daily writing space to more than one page? I thought it would be useful, but in fact, it made me superficial, thoughtless, careless, etc.
