Thank you for reading! I usually just write these for myself after a jam, as a way of writing diary, so to speak. But I’m glad other people enjoy reading them too.
I agree with your sentiments too. When I wrote about being fearful, I was afraid of being on either side of the coin, either being much less or much more knowledgeable than other people. It’s just really hard to work with others, let alone strangers, when your relative skill levels don’t match.
But I think that’s where solo experience comes in handy. It helps show both your skill levels and your commitment to these events, so it becomes a portfolio and a bargaining chip when recruiting teammates. I now enjoy working with my team but I wouldn’t be able to find them without doing things by myself first.
Anyway, thanks again for reading and hopefully see you around if you’re also jamming!
