You’re a busy bee! I edit as I go because I can’t imagine coping with a mess. All that cut and pasting is doomed to be a disaster.
7:06 I would like that vlog!
I’m in a similar boat, working on my miniseries teleplay. 😅
Oh, but I don’t have a baby / child & am single. But yeah, I’d recently outlined my story with just the main plot, pretty much. And I’m on my 4th draft. 😛
Loved this vlog ❤ it was so peaceful and the music made it so comforting.
You’re your own boss. Do what makes you happy and if you feel overwhelmed, step away and feel good that you can. Enjoy your little one as much as you can as they grow so fast. Life is precious. Like you said, it’s a balancing act and it constantly changes. ❤❤❤
Ok you do AMAZING TUTORIALS. Do you think you’ll do one for how to set up and do a TikTok shop?? Congrats on all you accomplished!
I’ll be honest, when it comes to TikTok, I still have no idea what I’m doing 😂 It’s been one of the most confusing commerce platforms I’ve encountered. If I figure it out more confidently, I’ll make a tutorial.
I really enjoy your writing vlogs. Do what makes you happy! I’m learning that myself. Enjoy your little one, from one mom to another, they don’t stay little long. Mine just turned 20 this month. Enjoy that time together.
Kudos to you. 🦋 Writing a book series takes time, patience, and strategy, but I enjoy it and think it’s a good move for fiction writers. Can’t wait to focus solely on mine after launching my latest novel, and especially my other standalone series God-willing later, which I’ve written notes, created a logo, and started a mind map about but haven’t written any of the books for yet.
I’m here for ALL the vlogs. Let’s do it!!
Your work and content on YouTube are enormously appreciated, encouraging, and relatable! Thank you!
I would love to hear some tips from you about show vs. tell when writing a story.
