This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A self-imposed deadline of making a new video by the end of every day. And rushing through videos absolutely is good practice for a handful of things. Especially if you've never edited video at all. It gives you practice just in opening the programs needed and navigating them. Even a hastily edited video is still an edited video that the person needed to learn many aspects of the software to edit. Also, seeing a project through from start to finish you quickly learn that there's a lot to do at the end of a project after the creative part.
Some of the most consistent advice from famous creative people is to start out like this. It's well known that starting with a massive ambitious project is a recipe for failure. IDK if you've ever tried to do something like this but it can be very intimidating just to begin if you feel like the first project you work on is personally important to you. Making mediocre videos every day gives you a stress free way to make something creative from start to finish.
