A Year of YouTube

When Erin Howard and Heather Greer and I started talking about doing a YouTube channel a year ago, I wondered what on earth we'd find to talk about. Since then, we've posted almost every Saturday. And grown closer to each other. And had so much fun.
Who knew? YouTube wasn't something I'd ever considered being on. I mean, I'm not a star or anyone, so why make videos that no one would watch? But you guys! At least a few people have watched our videos. And by doing this together, we've all grown and stretched outside the comfort zones we had set for ourselves.
So, what has a year of YouTube taught me?It's a good thing Heather figured out how to edit these videos, because we end up with tons of ridiculous footage of us being silly before we actually get started doing what we sat down to do.It's harder than you'd think to remember to say all the things in each video--you know, things like "welcome to Once Upon a Page."When you can't be with the ones who make the videos with you, Zoom works in a pinch, but it's not near as much fun.It's worth it to drive several hours to spend a day laughing and filming with these two girls.Just because I wasn't sure about it doesn't mean it wasn't worth it. It's been totally worth it.In a pinch, we can always find something to talk about.So, have you ever accomplished a year of doing something you'd never considered and weren't sure about when you started? What did you learn?
