YouTube: And We Won't Do It For You.

"I was trying to solve a confidence problem with information."

This is seriously one of the best D&D YouTube videos this year. Watch this, and avoid falling into this trap. No amount of watching "how to make a better game" videos will replace getting better by running an actual game. No amount of buying game books will ever give you greater enjoyment of it.

No amount of buying programming books will make you a programmer, 3d books for a 3d artist, writing books a writer, art books an artist, or anything else where you are fooled into the trap of "having something" then "means something."

You have them.

If you do nothing with them, you are still where you started. 

You will only digging that hole deeper for yourself and wasting time, thinking if you have a huge library, or keep watching these videos ever day, that you can somehow "magically" buy experience and "learn by having" or "be an expert by watching."

It will never happen.

The only way you get better is to actually do it.

To go out there, get your hands dirty, force yourself to work through it, and do it for real.

So, today, I want you to go do whatever it is you dream of, and get a start. And do a little more each day. This is the only way you get there. And stop watching videos and buying books thinking that they will make you who you dream of being.

Stop watching or buying the dream, and just go do it.
