It's really useful and encouraging to watch someone else's process. I write so much more when using a notebook and pen as opposed to laptop because I can carry it everywhere and write a paragraph here and there in the "in between" moments. Then do the first edits as I type up later. All the best with your novel and love love love the idea of a writing livestream!

It's harder for me to be distracted on it since my headphones are usually connected to my phone already and thats an extra step.

Finding SO much comfort in hearing someone else call out their needs (sensory etc) that are mine as well!

The curls are looking AMAZING! I am very much a pen-to-paper girly. I always have a notebook with me because the idea of sitting on my phone while typing out a story idea gives me an excuse to get distracted haha. My outline is done on paper and then transferred to my scrivener once it is finished and I have found it really helps when I do it that way. Big dinosaur lover here too, I will have to add seeing her to my bucket list! I completely understand the no motivation, I struggle a lot with motivation for home chores when I am trying to achieve other things. Still trying to find a way to boost it up so I can get everything done that needs to be done. I am at the stage where I have to remind myself that any progress is good progress 💚 I want to say a big thank you for talking so openly about your mental health and your struggles with it. You got this! YES! Jurassic Park is always my go-to dopamine movie 🤩 If I can feel a low depressy day coming on, I book a 'me, myself and I couch date', watching Jurassic Park/World marathon with yummy snacks and drinks (I usually have one of my notebooks with me too so I can do any idea jotting while I watch, so I still feel a little productive haha). I haven't read any of the Percy Jackson books yet. They are on my TBR and I do look forward to eventually getting to them. Another awesome effort on your word count! I really enjoyed the longer video and look forward to the next one 💚

I really enjoyed the longer video and look forward to the next one 💚
seeing Sue is such a great experience. i love her lol when it comes to chores, it's just about balance and i struggled with that so deeply lmao. I try to be super transparent about my mental health (and sometimes i wonder if i divulge too much) but i feel like it's really helpful to see that i'm a normal person with a TON of ups and downs. it's important to normalize it so i'm so glad that you found that helpful (: and the percy jackson books are so so so fun! i need to pick them up again asap! i'm so glad you enjoyed the video!💌
“girlies, gays, theys” 💅💅💅
Literally the most relatable writing process I’ve come across. 🙏 Thank you for speaking your truth. (I don’t use such technical terms, but VERY similar processes (first time in forever))
This was such a sweet and cozy video. I agree, the dreary days are perfect for writing! Your hair looks fantastic! Thank you for showing the dishes clip, reminded me to do mine haha fantastic effort with your writing, I'm so happy you hit and surpasses your goal for the day 💚
Thank you so much for posting this video. As a fellow female ADHD writer, it is awesome to be able to actually see a channel that I can connect with. Congrats on finishing your degree! That's amazing! I really look forward to seeing all the upcoming content from you. For now, I am going to curl up (it is winter here in NZ) and binge-watch your videos
New Zealand!? That’s incredible! Hi 👋🏼👋🏼 omg that’s the sweetest thing 🥹 I hope you enjoy my other videos. So happy to have you here !
My writing process varies from project to project. My current WIP is a pantsed zero draft and the one I plan on writing after this is already outlined scene by scene lol 😅 BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME, your workspace is gorgeous omg 😍 It's so minimalist and aesthetic!
OMG STOP! thank you (: also, that's so valid. i feel like trying to narrow down every project to follow the exact same steps is really restrictive. writing is a really intuitive process. there's so much trial and error. good luck on your project!! i hope it's going smoothly 🤍
We love the girls, gays, and theys! love your desk set up! It's so clean and minimal! I am the same way as far as my outlining goes. I literally just have a bullet point list of all the plot points I want to hit and as I wrote my first draft, I just broke the chapters where it felt the most natural. I did my first read through this past weekend, and I plan to start implementing those edits this week! Best of luck to you in your next draft! :)
ahh! i hope your editing is going well!! i'm going to try and join your editing livestream to say hello (:
@@beccatobar Yay! I actually forgot that I have a social commitment (gross) on the day of the stream, which would mean I could only stream for an hour. So it has now been moved to Friday! Hope you can still make it!
amazing, even better. i'll be there <3
