- Hi there and welcome back! I hope you enjoy this screen time writing challenge and fantasy writing vlog! This week I really needed an extra boost if I was going to make my deadline for finishing draft one of my wip elf ears! I decided to let my screen time choose my word count in this very productive writing vlog/writing challenge video! This was super fun and I ended up getting a lot done but also I had one of the best writing days that I've had since starting to work on this manuscript. I am also now 100% confident that I'll be able to get past that murky middle section that was giving me trouble the last time I took a pass at writing this book. Anyway I hope you enjoy today's video and I appreciate you checking it out and hopefully rooting for me! :D
As always I appreciate you!
Q&A:

What does your screentime say about you? Do you spend less or more time on your screens than I do?
What writing challenge should I do next?

Hi y’all! Thanks for watching! What did you think of the video? Have you ever tried anything like this before? Also sorry about the weird audio with the wood chippers I did my best 😅 if you want more videos like this please like, comment and subscribe!!!! I appreciate you! ❤
Leaving the emoji you requested 😂 my rule of writing is when I'm tired I stop. Because when my energy is on I can vomit words fast. But when I'm tired, I write like 🐌
Great challenge idea!
Thank you! 😊
😂. Keep your head up. You did well words on a page is worth it. I am currently rewriting my book Mynabarda and it's at a slow pace. I want to get to 50,000 words. From the last time I checked I was at 43,000. But its been like a month and a half since I started the rewrite.
Yes! Even a little progress is progress
The only challenges I do now is trying to write every day - sometimes it's just 5 min and a paragraph, sometimes it's hours and 5K words. Since it's just for fun, I don't stress. But good try!
Thank you! I keep hitting that wall. Seems like I get there so fast! That’s awesome that you challenge yourself to write everyday!
@@charleeraewrites I find consistency is key for me but we all have to find our own routines as creatives. 😃
Yeah that’s true! I used to be able to write an insane amount of words everyday but I somehow lost track of my routine! I think I’m going to do a “living my dream writing routine” vlog in the near future so maybe I’ll be able to get back on track 😅
