  • Sometimes we just have to recalibrate and reset our plans just a little bit in order to keep moving forward in the best way for our mental health! Today’s vlog is all about my switch-up from working on The Witch’s Key to working on Book 11 of my Shadow Demons Saga. I hope you enjoy it!

      I enjoyed watching this video blog. I'm seriously thinking about taking your HB90 course so I can set my goals for writing and also fit it in my life. Do I need to do HB90 first before Publish and Thrive. Because I wanted to take them at the same kinda time. If you understand what I mean. Lol. Thank you again Sarra. 😊

      @@kristyl6201 it's up to you! If you take HB90 first you'll be ready to implement and plan for all the author tasks you learn about in p&t right away. If you take p&t first you'll have a list of goals and tasks you want to start planning for after. Whatever feels right to you! P&T will run again in August! HB90 will be March, June, September and December.

I'm finishing my first quarter with your HB90 planner, and I have never been so productive in my life! Bravo for a job well done creating this planning system. It is holding my hand through goals I have wanted to make progress on for a long time, and now I see I was basically running in circles in many ways. For the first time, I am making real traction. Thanks much and God bless!!

    Have you ever thought of using OneNote as a KanBan and setting up a screen instead of a board? :) I'm too obsessed with electronic stuff, lol. It's quite a bit less expensive than buying all the extra stuff, and less bulky...AND you can take it with you anywhere you go if you have access to the internet.
    I have a 30" or 32" Huion I hooked up to an older laptop I barely use anymore, and I just open up OneNote and Trello on it. The Huion is up on a wall, and I just use the mouse to drag my digital "stickynotes" around from one spot to another. When I don't want to see the stickynotes, I sometimes change it to a "window to nature" by opening up an 8-hour nature video where it's moonlight and rain, or forests and snow, or whatever fits the mood. Lets me feel transported to wherever I am writing if I pass it or look over. :)

    I love your channel so much! It helped me a lot , words flow easier now and I feel more condifent! Also as much as I love writing on paper I hate to do it with things which change a lot like my todo list (I keep it on my phone) and now I have simular struggles with my outlining. I never wrote such a big novell before so plotting right in the same place as there clean text is was enough.
    So I have a question: do you know any writers on youtube who plot/out lining digitally?

  • @itskrayh

I've been binge watching every single one of your videos and I'm amazed by your energy and positivity. You are truly, honestly, an inspiration to me. (And your writing is fantastic) If I may ask one question about marketing strategies, I'm wondering if they are absolutely necessary for success. I'm a shy gal and am hoping there may be some unique way to promote for introverted people like myself. Thanks again. xo

      Thank you for your sweet comment! And yes, there are definitely ways to get around having to do social media marketing. You still need a publishing strategy, though, and marketing on the backend, but there are definitely ways to boost your books without having to really put yourself out there personally!

My YA book will have to be published in 2022, so I am right there with you. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had to change plans. :)

I'm in the process of finding what works for me and COVID really killed my schedule because I have to homeschool all four of my children. It's ok though, I'm loving having them home. Thank you for sharing this video. Girl, I always wonder how you do it all and when you mentioned the heaviness of 'doing it all' I was like, OMG! She's human!! Hahaha! Jk! Until recently, I was feeling the same way, just that heaviness and pressure in the chest at wanting to do everything and not having the time I need. I finally caved and dropped a few things from my schedule. Anyway! Sorry about the long comment. I wanted to just reach out and tell you that you are an amazing person and I'm grateful to you for sharing your life and personality with us.

  • @nimedhel09
    @nimedhel09 Před 3 lety

    Haha! I was just going in my subs space to see if something interesting was in there, and when I saw your video, my first reaction was: "Yes! Please, teach me senpai!".
    I totally get having more passions than time/energy that you can spare for them. Not going into detail, but life has been chaotic, with things happening one after the other since the end of last year, and it's taken its toll mentally, plus endometriosis is acting up, and thus I've been unable to write for a month and it's driving me crazy (because writing is therapeutic for me and I want to follow my monthly goals too!). Thus I've decided not to be too hard on myself and work on organizing new projects (writing and non-writing related) that I'll start in April.
    And since my plans haven't gone well this quarter, I've barely used the kanban board, and I was trying it out for the first time too, so I'm just goind to try again in Q2 and see what happens.
    Aaaaaw, your little one is so precious (also, such a big girl! She's already grown so much! OMG)!!!
    I must say that I am jealous of all the stationery you have, hehe. I feel like my collection is quite small compared to yours, and my companion has stated several times that I have way too much, but I use them all, so it's not like I'm hoarding or anything, hehe. Also yes to the Oxford notes! I love those so much! Used them to bits during my Uni days to help memorize some classes, hehehe.
    Oh I forgot about the plotting wall!
    Please, I really would love a video about how you reset your plan etc.! That'd be so cool!

I'm working with a Professional Coach who has to continuously remind me of how tired i am when i don't moderate what i think i can get done.
    As an aside - it seems like Bright Line Eating has been working for you! I'm not at all trying to come off as rude or vain but your cheekbones seem more pronounced; how has your weightloss journey been going?
