my cozy, productive writing (& morning) routine ☕🖋️

[@christy-anne-jones]

The paper back for my book 'A Year in Tokyo: an Illustrated Guide and Memoir' is on sale AS OF TODAY 😭😭 If you'd like to grab a copy, it's available here: bit.ly/3Ct4EPi 💛💛

[@RegienneZamora]

It's out of stock on Amazon AU! 😢

[@christy-anne-jones]

@@RegienneZamora noooo the US Amazon did the same thing 😞 It should resolve itself in about two days (hopefully!) 💛💛

Christy seems like she’s the type of person who enjoys the quiet surroundings for her to have a peaceful mind and soul. I can tell she has lot to say in terms of what she genuinely enjoys doing in her personal life. I wish her all the best in her writing career. God bless her.

[@janedoe7330]

Isn't she a joy!?

[@circleofleaves2676]

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years. I was watching a Carolyn Marie Reads vid the other day and in that vid, she mentions you, and describes your videos as "cinematic masterpieces" and spoke very highly of you as a person. It was lovely to see. It's good to see people in the community building each other up.

[@thursoberwick1948]

She's picked up some of the Japanese aesthetic and that's not a bad thing.

I am struggling with my book these days. I'm not motivated and I doubt every single word I type. You've been my motivation for so long so I came to your channel as always and I scrolled to find a video I've missed and I found this. Christy... would you believe if I say I cried? I don't know what about this video was so emotional for me but I'm thankful for knowing you and watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey and thank you for being a light for me. I always wish you the best. 🤍

[@katelynbaker6832]

I am a PhD student studying biochemistry so I do a lot of writing in the mornings - I always put on one of your writing videos to feel inspired! I have a writing deadline tomorrow so this posting was PERFECT :)

[@sandramathews24]

Thankyou Christy for lightening our Sunday brighter. You are such an comforting person everyone should ask for. Grateful for you and your vlogs. ❤️❤️❤️

[@christy-anne-jones]

I'm so grateful that you're here 💛💛💛

I was 11 years old when I saw Haley's comet with my dad. I thought it was cool for a few seconds and then quickly moved on to whatever other things go thru the mind of 11-year-old boys. I'll never be able to have that experience again with my dad since he'll be long gone by the time Haley's comet returns. But I hope I'm still around to share that meh/incredible moment with my boys and maybe even a grandkid or two when the time comes. I love your vlogs, Christy. Thank your for taking the time to make them.

[@sparkymularkey6970]

This is lovely! I also wake up around 7:30 and study kanji. 😁 This is very motivating. Thank you!

[@bwee1207]

"summarising the plot by hand helps me to simplify it" I'm a fanfic writer and I agree with this! ☺️

[@devidocs]

I just wanna say that you are truly an inspiration!! I started writing my own book because I got inspired by your lifestyle! Love this video btw ♥

[@everausten]

So peaceful! The cinematography is gorgeous and cosy 💛🌙🌟✨

[@whimsichloe]

there’s such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere to your videos☺️ i can’t wait to see the characters you are creating in this book

[@adithonger7838]

Just love the ambient

[@GlowWithStorm]

These are my favorite type of videos ❤

[@christy-anne-jones]

💛💛😊

[@DrawingsFromAnna]

I love to watch these videos as they always add a little bit more inspiration and motivation to my day 💛

[@hafsaali4207]

It was cozy and calm as always. Very Very congratulations on your travel memoir.

[@Rileyw239]

Your writing blogs inspire me a lot to get back into my own writing. Although I don’t dedicate myself to it as much as I should I’m grateful I’ve found your channel and that I’ve been reminded why I enjoy writing.

[@hannahcrews5137]

Watched this while folding my laundry. The most peaceful laundry folding experience ever lol

[@Ktsquare2008]

Miss.. your combination of the music and the movie clip is just about right. A feel of nostalgia, soothing and smooth progress to the future.

[@armystayatiny2607]

For the past 6 months I've been coming back and forth with ideas, possible plots for stories but none of them seemed good enough to start writing. Lately I've been having a hard time committing myself to writing, it is something I've always loved but sometimes it is hard to actually sit down and write (idk if this makes sense). This week I've been brainstorming some new ideas and i think i finally feel ready to start writing again, and a huge part of that motivation came from your videos, so i want to say a big thank you for being here and sharing part of your journey with us 🦋❤

[@normamccafferty3053]

Lovely. As always. Thank you. ❤

[@RaisingAnanya]

Love the fact that how calm this video is😍

[@stellamarierobinson]

I stumbled across your videos the other day and have been watching them every morning since. Today is a particularly stressful day for me and to have spent the past few minutes watching this has brought me a serene amount of peace - thankyou for sharing such calmness 🤍

[@redfishies]

writing is very lonely... thank you for sharing your day witih us! Very grateful for slow days like these for writing

[@rohit_id]

I really liked the video. You edited it really well. Loved how you included an audio bit of John Green's book.

[@lucyar3121]

I loved this video, especially the concept.

[@haanimely981]

these vlogs are my favourite, quiet and instrumental music in the backround or a poem

[@tejaswinisureshkrishnan4228]

I've been trying to create my own routine recently and this is the perfect inspiration for that!

[@dulcepires]

How lovely quiet moment, thank you!

[@shinewithanu4836]

Your videos are so peaceful n rejuvenating

[@user-um7cf8nt1q]

Дякую за таке приємне та позитивне відео!

Depend on my local time, I'm starting every week with these videos, mmm

[@Purzius]

Feeling of peace

[@StudywithFiona]

I love writing videos I have lots of writing tasks all the time and these videos inspire me to work on them :)

[@Francesca-xm7hf]

this was so sweet Christy! ❤ i love your writing vlogs and the gentle energy you carry through them. sending hugs!

[@cephinisemodestin3348]

Great video. I like how low and relaxing it was. I also enjoy the aesthetic of your apartment and the overall vibe of these videos. Great work. 👍

[@afriendofsammy]

Thank you for these videos I find great comfort in them

[@eleart4951]

I love hearing you write, could you make a video perhaps with pieces of your videos where you write on the keyboard?

[@gloomhavenmusic]

So. Heckin. Cozy. 😌😌

[@wherethesunsets]

The Anthropocene Reviewed !!!!!!!!! I also love listening to the podcast/book in the background or with my full attention, just wonderful how he expresses himself about ordinary simple things (joke: he should be a writer hahaha). It makes completely sense that you also listen to it too.

[@digvijay3302]

So calming ❤️ ! I like to watch this kind of content !

[@christy-anne-jones]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it 💛💛

[@Nikki-ec1zb]

Thank you for sharing your morning and inspiring me to write today 😊

[@AdrianasWonderland]

I truly love your art and craft so much. Your videos are full of soul and spirit, I love to watch you. The way you talk and record your videos make so so nice. I cannot wait to read your novel and your book about Japan, I would love to have a copy of it one day. I hope you are having an amazing day

[@ReadingNymph]

This was so perfectly relaxing 😌

[@Ashley-ew7dp]

I didn't pay attention to what book you were listening to and few moments later I just thought "gee that sounds like John Green during a 'Thoughts from Places' video" lol. Thank you for sharing little bits of your life. My goal is to be able to quit my day job and be a full time writer one day - these videos help me visualize what that would look like. Plus they're very calming 😌

[@joychalaby]

A beautiful, calming and inspiring video, Christy! So inspiring in making me want to write too ❤️❤️

[@carolinesottovia]

Christy só tenho a dizer que você é extremamente fofinha! E todos seus vídeos que assisto me deixam muito feliz ❤

[@GeorgieCora]

I love your morning videos, they are always so cozy. How do you manage loneliness at work since being self-employed?

[@pen_journal]

Feel so inspired by the video. Simple. Therapeutic. Inspiring. Now I do feel like putting in a day’s hard work!😅

[@Verityrowley]

This was incredibly calming. Love this style of video in addition to your others! :)

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

Lovely vlog.

[@seriouslywhatever1031]

I could watch this kind of content forever. Super relaxing. Have you read any Terry Pratchett? I'd love to know which books are your favourites.

That toast looked amazing. What's the sauce that you used, or could you give the recipe or what that kind of toast is called?

Am I the only one wondering…Could you write out the instructions for that toast?! 😅

Hi. What monitors do you use? Thanks

Amazing 🤩😍😻 but I think it would be better if it was voiceover instead of background music and typing subtitle 🤗❤️😘😚

There's no point in hiding what you write, because nothing can be read anyway.
