Unscripted Content Creation

While I write my daily blog posts and create my weekly vlogs, I hardly plan anything. I just sit down and write whatever comes to mind and shape a story from scratch. The same happens when I record my vlogs — I go out, film what draws my attention, and talk about what I’m doing and where I am.

There’s something freeing about this way of creating. It feels honest and spontaneous, as if I’m discovering what I want to say while saying it. Sometimes it’s chaotic, but often it captures a truth that no script could plan for.

Still, I’m aware that this isn’t the most efficient way to create content. From what I’ve learned from professional creators, having a storyboard or script makes the process smoother and more structured. I find that part challenging, but I’m making small steps toward that workflow. The more I create, the more I see how structure doesn’t limit creativity — it supports it. It’s like giving freedom a framework to dance in.

As I continue this journey, it’s becoming harder to find new ideas to write and talk about. In the beginning, everything felt fresh and novel, so stories came easily. But as the days pass and familiarity settles in, I have to look deeper — not just at what’s new, but at what’s meaningful.

I also notice that much of what I create still comes from what I want to explore, not necessarily what my audience might find most valuable. Maybe that’s natural at first. We start by expressing ourselves, by following what excites us. But perhaps part of the creative journey is shifting — from creating selfishly, to creating with others in mind.

Maybe that’s when creativity matures: when self-expression becomes connection.
