It must be so frustrating not to be able to do the things you want to do.x Love the blurb.

If you look at the numbers for most authors who are not writing to trends, it takes 5 to 10 published books, in a single series to get steady sales. Authors who write stand-alone only, have a lot harder of a hill to climb to build up a reader base. I haven't seen any specific numbers for how long stand-alone on avg take. :-) Have you seen any research on sales for stand-alones?

Love your blurb for book 5!

Girl no i like your vlogs I think there better then mine

The spines bones are labeled L 1-5 (plus some more letters and numbers) and tell us where the problem is specifically. Yes they are different arthritis but they can overlap Always feel free to ask me questions you have my number I don't mind i don't know everything but sometimes it helps to understand

Also whats the name of her second web series? First was Dorm dairies

Thanks so much I finally watched this Do you still have masterclass ? Iam interesting in singer’s songwriters on there Alica keys ,usher & Christina Aguilera

Just so you know I watch your vlog and think the same thing. wow your life is more interesting than mine, you go out of your home, and you do all these things I can't do. :-) You get more done in a week than I do. It's all perspective. You got lots of words! Congrats!

Omg the debate about when to eat was so relatable 😂

I also love vlogging and wish I was better at it. Le sigh...

I felt all the "I just need the money to pay my team". I have 4 cover artists I would love to keep on retainer, at least one editor, and possibly a couple other people. I'd love someone else to take over the social media for me.

You’re amazing! I’m so happy for you and love watching your content. So congenial! Sure your ideas are phenomenal queen!

awww i'm so honoured to have a vlog appearance <3

You did awesome this week. 💙

I love the name Edgar, but i don't think Poe. I think the friend from The Aristocats. 😂

Where did you find those scripts

Awesome have you finished it or submitted anywhere yet ?this is a related topic i started one last year on it. Also have you watched this is us ? Its a good show the lady talks about her weight loss issue’s in show and in real life how weights effected her shes an awesome actress

Awesome Iam replanning my writing goals want to listen to my intuition

Wishing you lots of luck - it's going to be an awesome month!

Awesome 😎 goals! I plan to rewrite an old draft. 😬

You always have lots of goals, and I'm here for it!!! Working on multiple projects too!!! Woo hoo! Good luck! I'm "participating" in various writing challenges. I use that term loosely as I've not made an official announcement and am not really worried about whether I accomplish them or not. One of which I'm doing is the 100KQ4 challenge. I finally signed up for TrackBear this morning and now understand why everyone loves it. It's great so far. Good luck! 💙

Hola lovely! I'm a reader, not a writer, but I did make a pile sky high to get through this month. I always tell myself I'm going to pull back and then do the opposite.

Thanks alot have you written any screenplay yet? Have you submitted anything yet?

👻

Wow! Awesomeness!

Getting you car sorted is huge! How exciting! Some days of low pain and high productivity? Sounds like a great week. Congrats!

I had to force myself not to have a meltdown this past weekend. I was at the laundry mat on my iPad and couldn't find a Scrivener document I thought I had. Because I've moved all my Scrivener documents to it. Turns out the document I thought was a Word doc and those are on my laptop, not my tablet. I had to keep telling myself I had to check the laptop before I freaked out. So proud of myself for doing that becuase I found the document.

Yay for getting the good stuff!!! Woo hoo! I'm so happy for you for that.

😂Okay. I like the planner binder.

I haven't finished the vide, so you may have figured this out already. But if you can comment from your phone, it's not your account that's blocked, it's an update or incomplete update on your computer. Try clearing the cache and closing all windows and tabs, and restarting the browser. Sounds dumb usually, but if something was cached broken, it could interfere with multiple youtube streams in your browser specifically.

You did so good this week!! And yes, I would maam you because you keep focusing on the negative (what you didn’t get done). You had a 4k day and multiple 1k days. Plus you worked on multiple projects. Did you edited the same video I watched? Cause you got so much done.

I need to get back into journaling. Ive got 2 kinds of journaling: personal and publishing. I've gotten back into the habit of journaling about publishing. Thats basically me writing out my thoughts and plans for writing and personal journaling is everything else. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with someone like that. My mother is similar (though yours sounds so much worse) as she's a narcissist who gaslights you, saying things that show her in a bad light didn't happen... Even if you have pictures or video to prove it did... I hope you're able to escape from that situation as soon as possible. You definitely don't deserve to be in that kind of environment. 💙

I really like your new opening. Nice refreah!

I'm sorry, JC. Keeping you and your daughter in my thoughts! I'm glad you're still here! I haven't been meditating. I need to at least get into some habit of doing it once a week to build back up to every other day. I did get back into writing last week. Slow progress but at least progress continued into this week. (Joining your sprint last night for a short bit helped).

Friend you need to focus more on the good things no ifs or buts. You got your car paperwork done. You got over 3k words in your revision in a single day and you got your prescription for the medicine that actually lowers your pain levels. Those are huge things. Things that don't leave space for any ifs or buts. You rocked this week and I hope you see the huge achievements you got this week.

This was a good week, be proud of yourself. Every step you take to ease your pairn and ease your stress is an important step to writing productivity. Don't put yourself down because of words, be proud of yourself . Suffering for your art is a distructive myth!

So nice to have your car paperwork done! You never think you're productive enough, but you seem pretty productive to me. With chronic pain too.

I know you'll have a new home soon.x

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. As a sensitive person myself I can imagine why you said it is like being in hell every day. I hope and pray that one day this time will be a distant memory. And when that day comes, maybe you will write a book about it. Journaling helps me too, as well as alone time and taking walks. Wishing you strength and abundant blessings.

I just want to reach through the computer and give you a hug 💛

✒️📝I always watch to the end. 😅

❤❤❤

I really do hope things turn around in a positive way. While I understand taking on the energy around you, I feel like you might be giving her words and negative personality power. And, yes, do find a therapist cause releasing all that trauma would help a lot.

I really hope things improve for you x

😢I’m getting back to consistently journaling. I’m adjusting to retiring and losing, Kobe. Don’t you believe what anyone says. Things will get better.❤ Blessings

Great video you covered so much, and I'm so thankful you even included chapters for youtube. I just listened as I got on with messing around with my art on the computer. Thank you :D

it's a shame when you can't rely on your own mother for love, kindness, and support. Sounds like getting out was the right thing at the moment, I'm sorry you're going through these struggles. Please keep posting your mental health ramblings here if it helps you through the process ❤ In your area you can dial 988 for the crisis hotline and they can get you immediate help, like a therapist. They can also send you to the free resources in your town. Also, (hear me out), if you need to talk things out locally any 12-step meetings can help - they are free and full of people who have been through the worst stages in their life and sometimes they have the best solutions. 12-steps aren't just for addictions, it's for mental health too. Poor mental health is why people get addicted to something in the first place. Just a thought for immediate relief for you. I am forever awed by your perseverance and I'm rooting you 🥰

First I hope things get better for you, but I have been doing alright. My uncle passed away last week and it hits a little different this time... it might have to do with the fact that this is the second death after my mom passed away, and this one just makes ne feel different about death and life.

Relationships between mothers and daughters can vary widely, even within the same family. So sorry you are still suffering from her cruelty, whether she is aware of it or not. My mother never appeared to realize that she treated me differently. Like with your friend's affirmation, having my brother and his wife recognize the fact saved my sanity. Sending love and hugs.
