Getting Over Your Fear of Doing Something THE FIRST TIME: The most ELABORATE microphone test you've ever heard of

<p>The point of this episode is to show the thought and decisions that go into doing something you know you're going to do a lot; but, you have to do it the first time, or you won't actually do it. Even I am disappointed with how long that first sentence took to get to the point. That's the point of this episode: IT'S A TEST! It's really me sitting down to see what using my studio microphone (here in my studio) is like before I go and do a bunch of tutorials - that while helpful - are going to be an absolute prison-sentence for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>But, as I sit here and type this at about 1 a.m. here in Atlantic Canada, I already did the thing that I'm describing to you now; and, that thing was a first for me. I now have "one" under my belt, so to speak. A whole new world of possibilities just opened in front of me, and I captured it in the recording that you're either already listening to; skipped-over (so this writing would be nothing to you); or, you don't typically look at this stuff (again, it doesn't matter, and that's fine).&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyways, pulling out of persona here just for a sec... this one was fun. I got over my fear of doing something that I've been excited to do, but I've been having trouble finding a strategy for sitting down and getting into it. "tired-persona-me" means it when he said that he needed to get one under his belt (argh!, I'm really tired because I did a lot of work for a friend today, so I'm starting to see the result in my writing - I had better cap this). Having "one under your belt" - an expression that I'm not entirely sure what it means - is another way of saying that I needed a victory. Throwing down this solo podcast episode was low hanging fruit. I could pick it easily, and I did it. I'm just realizing right this second that... I won. I got over all the stuff, and I got it done.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now... onto the next one.
