Contest! Name my SWTOR Smuggler's Ship!

I've been working on a little side project for a while.  I've been writing fan fiction for my Star Wars: The Old Republic smuggler, Odette Lise (more information about this project will be forthcoming soon).  As I was working on the part where she is getting ready to leave Ord Mantell, it occurred to me that her ship has no name.  Considering this is her baby, it seems wrong for her not to have given it a name worthy of something so important to her.  Sooooo . . .

I'm having a contest. Starting today, Sunday February 25th until Thursday, March 1st, I am giving my viewers a chance to score at $10 Steam Gift Card by suggesting the best name for Odette's ship.

Here's a few rules:

1. Original names only - please don't reference in-game or Star Wars movie characters.
2. You may submit more than one suggestion.
3. Names can be submitted in stream on Monday, or on Thursday, but my preferred method is if you send me a Twitch message.
4. You must be willing to become friends with me in Steam in order to receive gift card.  Per Steam's rules, we have to be friends for at least 48 hours before I can send you the gift card so please be patient if you and I are new buddies!

Winner will be chosen at the end of stream on Thursday!

So join me tomorrow Monday, February 26th at 8pm MST for my continuation of the Literary Smuggler stream and possibly score a Steam Gift card!

Returning, with an Un-Schedule

I had to take a break.  Its been a very weird and hard winter this year and rather than give crappy streams, I just walked away for a bit.  I re-evaluated my strategy and my schedule.  See, I'm going to admit something that I may have joked about in the past but its really something I struggle with.  I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).  What that means for me is that novelty is key when I do anything.  As in, if its not new and interesting to me, I usually don't stick with it.  The fact that I've been streaming steadily, for the most part, since May 2017 is really quite miraculous.  The fact that I've been streaming Star Wars: The Old Republic almost exclusively since that time is a testament to how much I like that game.

But like a lot of people with ADD, burn-out is quite common.  So going back to the re-evaluation of the way I run my stream, I have come up with two solutions.  

First, I'm going to cut back on my hours even further to three days a week.  My goal is to make each stream a solid four hour block so that having less days during the week makes it worth it for you to have time to watch and enjoy yourselves!  

Second, I'm going hard core, folks.  Hard core variety!  With one exception I'll mention later, I'll basically be playing and streaming what I want!  I'll be the veritable box of chocolates - you'll never know if you're gonna get SWTOR, Hearthstone, Elder Scrolls Online, or Warframe, just to name a few.  I promise it will never be boring.  I love gaming and I'm still my dorky self.

Here's a few of games I plan on playing (though suggestions are always welcome!):

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Hearthstone

Elder Scrolls Online

Warframe

World of Warcraft

TERA

Everquest II

Creative

I have a few other fun things planned for the future, including parties (see below for information on St. Patrick's Day!) and concurrent gaming/writing project that some of you may find intriguing.

Right now the new weekly schedule will be Saturdays at 2pm MST, Sundays streaming for GirlStreamers playing Star Wars: The Old Republic exclusively at 8pm - 10pm MST, and Mondays at 8pm MST.  I reserve the right to surprise everyone with an extra stream or two besides these set points but these times/dates seem to fit the best with my family's schedule.  So watch out for my return this Saturday, Feb. 24 at 2pm MST.  Always check my Twitter for the most update to date streaming information! I hope to see you there!

The future is bright.  Even though one foot of snow was dumped on us in less than 72 hours, spring is on its way and my one year anniversary of streaming looms closer!

Also join me on March 16th at 8pm MST for my Day Before St. Patty's Day party!  As always,there will be prizes, games, song requests, and much fun to be had.  Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day so join me for some orange and green fun!

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!
