I am currently at a low point in my life, struggling doing even basic things such as studying in university let alone other stuff, but your videos always makes me feel better and gives me strength to complete another task. I am so happy that I have found your channel. Happy belated birthday❤

[@usagi1ify]

I hope the pain eases soon ❤

[@ProfessorRyder]

Yay more Tyler x Christy content 🎉

[@larahwithanh]

Happy belated birthday, Christy! I'm a March birthday girl myself (I'm actually a week older than you!) and used to feel quite a bit of birthday blues. Your birthday vlogs have helped me so much though! Now I put a lot more intention on my birthday week and try to do things that bring me joy. This year I made a playlist of all my favorite songs and it listened to it while taking a long walk by the beach. It was wonderful! Sending you loads of love and best wishes for your new year!

[@17caria]

Happy belated birthday and congrats to Tyler for branching out on his own.

[@Kitbb77]

This is my happy Sunday time. I make a cup of coffee, have my book, journal and cat nearby and watch a Christy video (and it’s raining! 😊)

[@nerd26373]

We appreciate your effort and hard work. God bless you

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you 💛

[@catherinelapointe8024]

As always, a super cozy way to start my Sunday morning! ❤ Happy late birthday, that week looked really fun! I think it’s so cool that you and Tyler are both working for yourselves in fields you’re both passionate about. That takes courage and it’s really inspiring to see. 💛

[@Sayantika_Sarkar]

Happy Belated Birthday to one of my favorite KZbinrs! I absolutely loved watching your vlog - it was filled with so much positivity, laughter, and great energy. Your creativity, authenticity, and passion for creating content truly shine through in everything you do. Thank you for always inspiring me to be my best self and for bringing so much joy into my life. Keep shining bright and keep up the incredible work 🌻❤️🌟🥰😍

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so so much 😭💛

[@tonydeluna8095]

Hi there Christy, you never cease to amaze me with your incredible work and talent! You have a gift, dont lose it! Keep reading and writing! Have a great day!

[@isobels_literary_life]

Omgosh I love that you call them rice bubbles - in the UK we just call them by a brand name, even the off brand ones XD - 'Rice Crispies'

[@autumnsartstudio]

I've always wanted to know how it's like going back to your normal sleep schedule after those author routines because I feel changing it up that much would wreck my sleep schedule so much. And hey my birthday is this much too! (29 on the 29th)

[@iremaydn9616]

Happy Birthday Christy! Being able to write daily and shaping your life like you want inspire me so much 😍

[@jillchin7636]

your channel is beautiful, I love your book reviews, which are always so authentic and relatable ☺. Oh and totally unrelated - love your fresh no-makeup look !☺❤

Happy birthday, Christy! I'm so happy to share a birthday with such a wonderful, bubbly, cheerful person 🌸

[@faithodyssey8699]

Hey Christy, happy birthday! As a long time viewer and first time commenter, I find your videos to be a wonderful source of writing inspiration. Your spirit is so uplifting and kind :) Kind greetings from Melbourne P.S. Rice Bubbles are a worthy breakfast as long as you do that thing where you get your ears up really close to the bowl to listen to them crackle!

[@tiarailic4086]

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉❤ I want to thank you SO much for your content. Last summer, I developed insomnia and started having extreme dizziness and panics in the day. Your videos were So calming, they helped me relax so I could actually get a decent night's sleep. I'm a writer too and you always keep me inspired to keep marching on. Blessings for the next year and keep on creating ❤💕💕

[@Ktsquare2008]

Happy belated birthday 🎉🎉🎉. Comforting video as usual. To provide some contents, I like your aesthetic use the coffee cup 🍵 for green tea and other drinks. That is calming, subtly enthusiastic and tactile. Audience - feeling touchy with their cups of warm drinks - engage the video's contents.

First thing first, Happy Birthday and I hope you had a great one! I'm glad that project Teacup is going good, I hope you got past Chapter 14 okay! May I ask you, what writing app are you using? I use google doc and word doc (depends if I'm at the library) but mainly google doc. Have a great week! I'll be reading Lee Child's books soon! and I forgot to say it in the last video, but happy women's history month! I'm on chapter 8 and I have 25842 word count and 59 pages so far at the moment.

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so much! 😊 I did manage to get past that chapter, thankfully!! And I use Word~ Hope you have a wonderful week as well and good luck on your writing 💛💛

@@christy-anne-jones thank you 💛

[@ProfessorRyder]

What writing software do you use and how do you edit your writing?

[@christy-anne-jones]

I use Word. And for edits, I just copy+paste the document and go over it line by line. I might do a Q&A in a few weeks for some more in depth writing/editing questions 😊💛

[@ProfessorRyder]

@@christy-anne-jones ❤thank you, I use Google Docs, but it definitely gets a little slower when you open the document everyday once you get above like 200 pages

Can you please share the earrings from Friday? 👉👈

[@andreibontas8736]

Are there moments when you choose writing instead of reading? I’ve got a big obsession with reading and validating myself through it and I’m also a writer, but when I get some free time, instead of writing, I read. Does anyone feel that?
