This vlog was so fun to watch! I absolutely love the idea of speaking to authors about THEMSELVES, what makes them unique - I completely agree with the importance of that! Also love the idea of book cover as cards. So glad you were able to get your infusion - hope you’re having a happy healthy week!

That sponsorship sounds so interesting, I didn't even know there were sponsorships like that. I'm so happy for you and I'm glad you were able to get back on your infusion treatments. That gift was nice and I definitely learn more and more about author branding every time I watch a video of yours. You and Rocky are a hoot! You are so amazing at balancing your health with content creation. Always in awe of you and supporting you! 💕

I love watching these vlogs, and loving all the updates. The starfish greeting card is an amazing idea! I'm so pinching that one. I so agree about talking to authors about themselves, what struggles they have faced in their life and what that brings to their writing. Love a good nap, you totally deserve them!

Getting caught up! I am so behind with AuthorTube right now. I'm trying to get all the words in my current project right now and it's just like pulling teeth. I think it's because the last book went so well and I also am dealing with the new job, but we'll get there! I love the idea of talking to authors about their experiences and how it's come to shape not only them as a person but their stories as well. Some of my experiences have definitely done this in a major way. That snow we had was nasty! Ice all over the place. Stay safe!

Rachel that’s way more important than AuthorTube! You never worry about missing videos here or there. I end up producing two a week. Come hang when you can and no worries when you can’t. I’m so sending you good energy for your current project. I had a short story that felt like pulling teeth. On paper it was easy but the execution proved more difficult than I anticipated. You stay safe and warm out there and I hope the new job is going well!

Sympathies. We have similar dastardly weather where I am. I can't presume to know what meds you've tried in the past, but has your doc ever murmured to you about Cymbalta or Lyrica in conjunction with your maintenance meds for pain control / functionality? I as because the trend away from heavy-duty narcotics a few years back was a nice surprise, and while my sincere hope is that your insurance folks quit being buttfaces on ya, Cymbalta in particular has helped multiple chronic pain sufferers I know feel so good it scares'm, and having as many options as possible sometime helps me

Hey Martha. Thoughts and prayers on the weather. We’re ready for the thaw! I will ask my doc about them. I have heard of them, but have not tried them. I am lucky enough to have the rarest of the 5 types of Crohn’s disease. When I was feeling special for most of my life, this isn’t what I had in mind. As far as I know Remicade is the only FDA approved drug for my type of Crohn’s, but believe me I’m open to all the things. I heart you friend. Once I get off of the bed rest thing I’m so ready for our collab!
