a cozy week in my life as a writer & content creator ☁️☕

[@Bee.ya1412]

Dear Christy, you have probably no idea how much these videos mean to me. I always wait for Sundays just because of your cozy videos. Although my life is totally different from yours but you somehow make me feel less lonely ❤ you are my favourite KZbinr❤ thank you for your hardwork that you put into your work to bring these videos for us❤ 🫂

[@christy-anne-jones]

Awh, thank you so so much for being here! 💛💛

[@FranMeneses]

your writing vlogs are the best Christyyy

[@christy-anne-jones]

FRAN!!!!!!! You've been one of my favourite creatives since 2016 😭😭😭 Your channel was so (and still is) so influential to me xx 😭😭

[@FranMeneses]

@@christy-anne-jones omgggg Christyyyy feeling super honored : ... )

[@shannon7027]

I think one of the hardest things we have to do as people with (any) chronic health conditions is resist the urge to apologize for how much it affects our day to day ❤️ Please don’t apologize!! 😊 Lovely video as always!!

[@Ameeta.theinkystitcher]

I love these longer vlogs! For the pen: sometimes they leak if something isn’t in place properly. I would recommend disassembling it, cleaning the nib, feed, converter, and then when it’s dry, reassembling. Make sure the nib is on properly (and pushed in all the way) and do the same with the converter. If it still leaks, then I’d look for a crack somewhere, but most of my leaks have been fixed by doing these things.

[@JeanetHenning]

8:19 the commitment of discomfort just to get the perfect shot.

[@christy-anne-jones]

you would not believe the odd things I've done over the years for the sake of composition/a good shot. Mostly climbing over or under things 😅

[@IckleRonnikens]

You can totally tell the effort you put into these videos, like you said spending hours on them, they are always so cosy and pretty. And now, after this one, I've come away wanting brownies...

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you! 😭😭

[@KrisMF]

I finished reading The Secret History just recently for the first time!! something about autumn made me commit to finally reading it. I really enjoyed it - definitely lives up to its reputation!

[@christy-anne-jones]

It's such a beautiful one!! The writing is insanely masterful 💛

[@incaseofasteroid13]

22:00 to add to that thought, I'm from brasil and I always watch you on sunday afternoons! today tho I woke up early and I'm watching this 11am!

[@Idd1eforTaylorSwift4256]

Same lol

[@christy-anne-jones]

Yay, fellow Southern Hemisphere-er 💛💛💛 thank you for being here!

[@MarcelaAgraf]

Same here! Another one from Brazil. And Christy you’re my absolute favorite KZbinr, just wanted to let you know how much you’re appreciated ❤️

[@christy-anne-jones]

@@MarcelaAgraf thank you 😭💛

[@Kitkate77]

I do really appreciate the amount of work you put into these videos, the whole aesthetic is so cozy and special. My favorite thing to do is watch your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee. It’s such a small moment in my week I look forward to.

[@Mandyxien]

Oh you really don't have to feel like you're whinging Christy! You are so hardworking and your attitude is the opposite of spoiled. You are certainly not being whiny when you are sharing about your struggles with a chronic health issue. Don't feel bad about that! 💛 Actually, for me it has the opposite effect. I truly appreciate the honesty in your videos. That you also share your struggles or when something does not work out, to whatever extent is comfortable for you. I hope you have gotten the iron infusion and feel better by now! And that you keep sharing both ups and down with us, whenever you want and feel comfortable to 💛

[@margaretwhittaker7519]

My mother goes through these iron deficiencies also and I am so glad to know you've got your infusion. I've seen the effects the infusions have on her and that is why I'm glad for you. I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon.

[@delinawejdeby2043]

I love your videos. As someone who writes for herself and hasn't put it out more or managed to dedicate more time to it, your process and what you share is very inspiring, and I hope that in the new year, it will become a more consistent part of my life :) But like you, I've also had ups and downs with iron levels, so I can completely resonate with the tiredness and lack of energy that comes with low iron levels. I've also mentioned to my doctor that while I eat meat, etc., I can't eat more than I do, so iron infusions have been my only solution. Thank you for all your videos!!

[@AbiofPellinor]

These videos feel so much like a friend chatting with you, I love it!

[@heyyitssj]

Love all the cozy vibes on these video! Really enjoy your videos 😊

[@Nicki13Lover]

When I coworked during the pandemic, we would schedule a time to actually work and then time after to actually catch up and chat, highly recommend!

[@김수진-y7n5r]

Hi! Christy! I am learning English by re-watching your videos several times! Always enjoying listening to them, it doesn't feel like studying! Thank you for your videos!

[@jordanseifert4640]

Keep the cozy vibes coming! Hope your health issues get better. Best of luck with your manuscripts. And wishing you safe travels abroad. God bless. Keep calm and read on.

[@tonydeluna8095]

I really enjoy your videos because I can see all the hard work you put into making them. You are an exceptional writer! Keep at it!

[@Johanna_reads]

Stoner by John Williams is one of my favorite books of all time! 💜 I hope you love it! I do love watching your videos on Sunday mornings. 🍵

[@byelizaeun]

Love the cozy vibes of this vlog!

[@Parlezkate]

I love that you like to write in purple ink - like your beloved jacarandas! Magical.

[@AngelaKHarrell]

Glad I'm not the only one who has iron/anemia issues; I'm also waiting for blood work to come back to see if I have to get an infusion treatment. I already have a disability that gives me astronomical fatigue and to combine it with anemia (iron AND Vitamin B6 deficiency) is ridiculous. I literally have to take a nap during the day even with my "stay awake" medicine (non-addictive). Fatigue and brain fog can really make your day crappy. I understand and hope you (AND I) feel better soon. Really enjoying your "week in the life" videos. Helps to see what other writers do as well.

[@thewriterssoundtrack]

soooo ready for this cozy video 🥰 I just sat down with my morning coffee and saw this!

[@paxcattus]

I hope Narcissus's shroud gets published!! I'm so curiose to know what it's about. Question: do you know how payment works for publishing through magazines? Also ARCANE!!! Such an amazing show. I always thought the storytelling is phenomenal, each character is so deeply written. It would be really cool if you film a review video about it one day...

[@WheresMyTea]

Ah! Purple ink 💜 it's my favorite too. Just the best.

[@emmamccann902]

If you love the Kaweco Sport and are looking for another, I highly recommend the brass one! It's a little weighty but it is incredibly reliable and cozy feeling!

[@MissCapturedSoul]

I needed this before a writing sprint tonight! ❤✍

[@SirenaxMoon]

Hi Christy!

[@LoverDebs]

I am watching this at 11:06pm on Sunday🤭. Watching your videos have now become a part of my routine. Thank you for sharing ❤️.

[@iguanasseebetter4824]

Every second week, a post on IG then a new video drops at 2pm over here in Scotland. Love the routine.

[@Avlicc]

I ADORE your channel. It really gets me going💕 Continue to thrive and so will I 🩷

[@everausten]

Chronic iron deficiency - same! It definitely affects everything, so no worries at all about talking about it! Yes, isn't jacaranda season wonderful atm 💜

[@VictoriaPichel]

in Argentina I also enjoy jacaranda season, which is currently very strong. In Spanish we say it stressing the last A: jacarandá. And I'm also enjoying weird strange cold weather days, all cosied up with cups of tea and a blanket and i am not complaning, no, sir! wiiiiiii

[@shereen91]

I had the same issue with my Lamy Safari pen, but then figured out it needed to be cleaned and flushed out by using a converter and two glasses , one with water and one empty. Draw water into the converter, empty it out into the other cup until water in converter is clean. Had zero leakage with pen after that

[@hellokbsherman]

Those jacarandas really are stunning!

[@starklingspars8956]

Those trees are beautiful. We have only cherry blossoms areound here, for spring flowering trees...apart from rhododendrons etc.i hope you're feeling better. I want a brownie now. I' ll allow myself one next time I'm at the shops 😅

[@aspatzle827]

I do really enjoy watching your videos on Sundays but I would also enjoy them on other days: Starting my Saturday with your video could be special, coming home from work on Friday and kicking off the weekend with your video could be cool ... Other creators I like upload on Monday and Wednesday and I like that because it makes the start/middle of the work week nicer. I'm trying to say pick a schedule so that you have acceptable working conditions and I'll get used to it.

[@jadeitor_png]

yayy, cozy video right at the moment when I'm writing!

[@martinelanglois3158]

Hope you feel better soon. ❤

[@ellie2285]

Really enjoyed the video, as always! Good luck with the story and take care of yourself🧡🧡

[@lesliewells-ig5dl]

You look so pretty with your hair up like that!! ,But you always look pretty. I love your videos!!! We have Jacaranda trees here in Florida in the US too. We say it the way you said it. Thank you!!!

[@nadiahverse]

Best part of my sundays!!

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great cozy vlog. Cant believe Autumn is almost over. 🎃🍷👻🦇📚☕🍁🍂

[@alexandrakrop]

never been this early! i love your videos! 💖💖💖

[@JuliaPepperwood]

Sunday afternoon in Spain. Good luck with your story!

[@MsGloomyLamp]

It was so fun to see you watch Arcane :) I hope you'll talk about it sometime in the future :)

[@leilaismissing]

I love your videos omg, I'm from Argentina so we have a lot of Jacarandas (we pronounce it like hakarandas putting emphasis on the last "a")

[@jenniferchen5351]

I adore kaweco pens, I have 5 different fountain pens of theirs. I have one pen for each different projects / purposes. I also rotate between different coloured inks. Coloured inks also fire up my brain.

[@AmandaGainsborough]

Christy, you can upload your videos and schedule them to be posted at the time you want. By the way, congratulations for your work ☺️💕

[@LPP_05]

So inspiring, as always ❤

[@abbottdowns]

Oooh what is that keyboard? Such a lovely clickiness!! 😍

[@walpolekidscomics879]

I forgot adverts exist so I thought you just got massively distracted during your day when you started talking about fable

[@mauralima5357]

What about the photos of the photoshoot? I bet they turned out amazing! Wishing you the best of luck with your health issues :) Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[@saram5659]

My fountain pens always leaked after a while, until I bought a Waterman. Same pen for 10 years, no leaking ever!

[@ReadingNymph]

I hope your iron infusion went well!

[@christy-anne-jones]

It did, thank you!! I feel loads better 💛💛

[@megreads9]

I am launching my new planners and stickers soon, and the most problem that I have I film with my phone but obviously I need a tripod and a good camera to film my hands working and filming, really filming is very hard work to do.

[@michaelmarino9249]

I had a Lamy fountain pen that leaked all over my hands too, then one day I was looking at it and noticed there was a hairline crack on the thread that screws into the body of the pen above where my hand went. And that barely noticeable crack is how the ink kept slowly leaking out

[@brandyange1753]

A note on the iron subject. I have had low iron since I was a teen. Turned out I had Celiac disease, and that was the only symptom that I really had, it took forever to get diagnosed because no one thought to test me for it, I had to request the test. Just thought I'd share my experience just in case. I was having to get iron infusions because I wasn't absorbing it- and I was also losing it really fast. If you've been struggling to find a cause and haven't already, might be worth testing for celiac.

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so much for the suggestion and I'm so sorry it took such a long time for them to test you! How incredibly frustrating, although I'm glad you now have an answer. I have, however, been tested for coeliac three times 😭 so, it's not that. The consus from the specialists seems to be that I'm totally healthy and I'm doing everything right; i just have weird blood 😅

[@panteafarsijani9518]

Your friend is so qute❤

[@algumasobservacoes]

I see you on Sunday mornings, but I live in Brazil, so we have such different time zone. hehehe

[@hananebouslahi1433]

Great video, please share with us more videos and take care.

[@tamara0909]

I can relate to that iron deficiency feeling so much! But I usually take iron pills (prescribed) for a couple of months 🧐

[@juliae.8237]

Thank you 🙏

[@epu8021]

Hi Christy, I know making videos are hard but it must have been physically difficult for you to crawl under the tripod for that video! I love your videos and appreciate all the hard work you do. I wait for your videos on Sunday evenings too (I'm in India) but would not mind if you change the upload timings for your health. always here to support you ❤ take care

[@Dogjitsu]

You can set videos to upload at a certain time, so you don't have to be awake when it's published

[@Amaiguri]

Wait re:Uploading -- can't you schedule them? You don't have to stay up late on our account 😢 Please take care of yourself! That being said, yes, I do love watching these at the time you said. The vibes are always so inspiring!

[@christy-anne-jones]

I do schedule them! And then I anxiously wait up to make sure it actually posted and that I haven't accidently uploaded the wrong video or otherwise made some other mistake i need to rectify 😅😅😅 It's okay-- it's a nice problem to have hahah. Thank you 💛💛

[@rachelmcdonald6092]

🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@AstrotrekSam]

more frequent vlog videos please

[@vanessamccarthy8224]

Would love to know what fountain pen you got and if you would recommend it?

[@giuliaidiometri186]

Hi Christy. Could you do some ASMR while you write? And, if you can, make more videos and writing vlogs? I'm blind and your voice is beautiful. I love hearing it.

[@hyleore]

oh no, Fable looks cool but I've already gone for Storygraph and I don't want to change again :')

[@misssnowfoxx]

Is there a reason you can’t use the scheduling feature to upload your videos? Does scheduling a video as opposed to uploading it live affect its performance?

[@christy-anne-jones]

Nah, it doesn't affect it. But once or twice I've uploaded a video that's had a mistake that people have started pointing out right after it's gone live or I've set the wrong date/time before, so the video actually hasn't posted. I literally always schedule my videos, but I also wait for them becuase the anxiety would stop me from sleeping anyway 😅 So, schedulling is neither here nor there; I'd want to make sure the video posted, no mater what time of day it's supposed to be :)

[@african_chris]

❤

[@BárbaraBianchiRolim]

which lipstick are you wearing in the beginning of the video? kind of a orange red terracota

[@sonickay]

Can you not schedule post times on KZbin? I thought once it was uploaded, you could schedule the time a video goes live but I may be mistaken.

[@Damnonii]

I think i have the same pen as you and mine doesn't leak, so yours might just be faulty. Maybe just get a new one if you are able to, and have a pen you really like that doesn't leak

[@jadeitor_png]

You may have thalassemia, a type of anemia, it took my medics a decade to find out

[@christy-anne-jones]

Ah, my ferritin is the problem not my haemoglobin . I've been to loads of specialists, and they've said I'm totally healthy but probably just a little abnormal. I'm so sorry it took such a long time for your doctors to catch your condition, though! Hope you're feeling better 💛💛
