    I love this, Kristen. Thank you so much for doing these types of videos. I've been following you through these last months, and seeing you having faith in yourself and keep pushing out the content YOU want to create and YOU know that will help for the RIGHT people is amazing. There will always be people who are not on the same vibe as you - and thats okay - and you perfectly show that in your videos and podcasts. Its refreshing to see someone standing so strong in their own beliefs and worth. I admire you so much for also welcoming your "haters" and still loving them, showing respect to them after how they've been treating you online.. I hope you continue on with the variety of content you now have on your channel - both writing advice, self help, day in the life vlogs and let us continue to follow your lifejourney, with all involved. We are, after all, all of us only humans and having different perspectives and beliefs are part of that human experience. You inspire a lot of people, Kristen, in many different ways - and know that you've helped me so much with ALL of your content this past year. Keep going, I'm rooting for you and praying for your continued success and health. Love from Norway

Also, While even thirty days may seem like a short time I am currently at 33k words and I am sure that during my edit process I will add to the book. In fact, I have already been placing extras in the cork-board of Scrivener to add these in as part of the 2nd edit. Scrivener totally changed my writing habits and has opened a whole new world. So don't be impressed with anything I do I simply ask that you all be forgiving instead....lol.
