    Dein Deutsch ist wirklich SOOOO gut!!!! I’m from Germany and worked as a German teacher in the UK and let me tell you German is really hard and the fact you’re still speaking it so fluently considering you haven’t studied it since college is incredible, du kannst stolz auf dich sein.
    PS Maus is mouse in German, however, we use it as an affectionate nickname so it’s kinda like darling or honey

    Indie books becoming trad-published would be fine if publishers were actually putting the effort into editing and redesigning the books before releasing them. This year a lot of indie books have just been bought and immediately published traditionally (When the moon hatched, dungeon crawler carl, quicksilver) with zero edits and almost no new or an even worse cover.

    The reason I found your channel in 2017 was your journal videos. And it was the reason I started journaling like that in 2017 amd still to this day. It's been such an incredible outlet for me. I won't lie, I do miss your journaling content but I understand that it's personal. But thank you for talking about it a little bit here. And thank you for inspiring me so much to journal back in 2017. I appreciate it ❤️
    Ps the flip through made me really happy 😊

    As someone whos been watching for years and also has ADHD, there's no shame in getting tested! I didn't get diagnosed until after college and all my life I just thought i was "lazy, forgetful, messy" etc etc since it didnt show as hyperactive like it does for people diagnosed younger (usually boys). Something someone told me is that if you know you need to do something but everything in you struggles to get it done, and then you feel horrible for not getting it done, thats not laziness its executive dysfunction. No pressure whatsoever but youre not an imposter or a fake for wanting to get answers for why your brain works the way it does ❤
    Edit: as i was typing this i forgot i was making breakfast and almost burnt my eggs so, lol.

      Yes, please don't worry about being 'one of those TikTok people'!
      I was one of the people who commented asking about it on another video, and am also late diagnosed (27).
      I was SO worried that I was making it all up and that social media had just convinced me I had it. Turns out every single diagnosed ADHD'er I've ever spoken to about it also thought they were making it up - that's literally one of the symptoms of ADHD 😂
      And there are more people being diagnosed since it got 'big' on social media, but that's because it meant more people became aware of the 'hidden' symptoms. Not because people are making it up (that's literally what diagnosis is for, lol).
      If you believe you may have ADHD, then you completely deserve to seek an assessment. It was truly a life changer for me.❤

    I absolutely love your Vlogmas. I watched every video on the last one you did before the break and it got me through then and it’s getting me through the last few weeks working now. This needs to be a Christmas tradition until you decide you don’t want to do it anymore. Thanks for making the dark nights of December a little less dark in the UK 🩵

The Oregon coast is a vacation I take every year and seriously I cry every time I leave. It’s really something special. Washington is gorgeous, too. I’ll help plan your itinerary😂😂

    When I started taking medications, my mom gave me the advice to (if you can) always take your medicine at night because you will always have something in your stomach so it won’t make you sick. That way you don’t have to worry about eating something in the morning to take medicine. And I’ve always stuck by that! Also with booktok - I agree with you on that. I don’t love most of booktok books that blow up but it has created a lot of new readers which I think is always a good thing to see.

    omg gal I’ve been watching you for years and literally it’s because my book bestie found you, sent me the video, and said “b*tch it’s YOU” lmao I promise it’s a compliment!!
    I am a late diagnosed AuDHD-er and was so hesitant to go on meds/get tested but holy sh*t gal, it has changed my life. Seriously. I often describe my pre-stimmy brain as a pile of ropes that aren’t necessarily knotted but definitely tangled and I have to spend so much time untangling those ropes just to make my brain work. NOW when I take my medicine, my brain feels like I can just spread out that pile of rope (like smoothing out a sheet) and go through my day without having to untangle those ropes every time I need to do something.
    I know you didn’t ask for advice and please feel free to tell me to stfu but bébé it changed my life.

    How did you train your cats? Like spin and sit

    • @WhittyNovels
      @WhittyNovels  4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      repetition and positive reinforcement! sit is the easiest but for high five was i would put the treat in my hand and give it to them if they touched my hand then we slowly built up to do it without the treat. spin was just walking them through the movement and saying the word- they got it in a few days! but they do have to be food motivated otherwise they wont care lol

    I’ve been to Iceland (last year). If you are down for group tours seriously the best is Collette (they are based out of Rhode Island and they specialize in European tours. It’s kind of fast paced but you can cover the country in 10 days - 2 weeks to where if funds/time are limited you will feel like you covered it all and can move on to another country. Yes it’s filled with mostly retired folks but they are from a sampling of all across American and they have great stories because of the long life they have had. Yes it’s expensive but you are given the full tour of each country (often by local professors). My husband and I are in our 50’s and they are mostly in their 60’s but many single folks go and build friendships along the way. We still have a close friendship with this couple we met from Northlake Texas but we’ve met while touring with Collette in Ireland. At least look into it because Iceland was amazing.

    If you want to travel closer (if you think you can't make it to Oxford soon) may I recommend visiting the Marion and Wade Center at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL? They have certain furniture owned by C.S. Lewis and sometimes have people give presentations on him and his work. I believe they even have the wardrobe that inspired the books.

    I've recently been diagnosed ADHD and when I went in for the assessment, I was so worried that I was just going to come off as "tiktok told me I have this". I think the most important thing for me was preparing to be okay with either outcome, and journalling about symptoms in real time so I had concrete examples.

    Super impressive German. It’s so impressive because we (Americans) are in such a huge country and we don’t benefit from being small and having many neighbors where we have opportunity to learn/practice other languages. Seriously the most polyglots live in Switzerland. It’s so small and surrounded by 5 countries given them ample opportunity to practice and when I visited lots of people knew at least three languages. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

    I recommend you watch Lauren Curtis video about her journey with ADHD (is movie length, but worth it), I related so much with everything she was saying, I’m going to talk with my therapist next session about getting tested. It just explains so much about my life and struggles, I just never knew that ADHD was related to “lack of energy”, the incapacity to do simple things, overthinking, I thought it was all about having too much energy and not being able to concentrate (problems that I definitely don’t have). You seem to struggle with the same things, and the girls say that taking medication for it is life changing, so even if you (or I) don’t have it, is worth investigating and making sure.
    Loving vlogmas, btw 💜

    I don't know if you're aware but the Bone season by Samantha Shannon is set in Oxford, and she herself studied there! Thought I'd mention it since you said you were interested in it :) I cannot wait for you to watch the movie adaptation of Little women, you're going to absolutely love it and I really hope you'll vlog it and share your thoughts with us!! Also, seeing you tab your copy of Little women made me wonder what your thoughts on annotating are? like actually writing in books besides tabbing? since you like journaling it occurred to me it would be the type of thing maybe you would be into, but I don't think I've seen you write in your books before except maybe Shatter me....

    I have a ? I’m sure you’ve answered this before but I haven’t seen that video lol where you have so I’m gonna ask it and maybe others are wondering can you explain your process as you’re reading - what makes you put a flag on it and what are the different flag colors for and do you make actual notes marginalia (I think that’s a word)? I guess simply put I’m just interested in your reading process and processing. I’m sure part of it is quotations that you find meaningful but but this is something I’ve always wondered. Thank you in advance. Love your Vlogmas and I am hoping for continued daily Vlogs they are great they make my day so much better! p.s. (who doesn’t love a p.s.) love it when you surprise us with playing your ukulele and I enjoyed the journal content! Give your sweet kitties. Hugs for me. See you tomorrow. : )

    As someone who was diagnosed late with ADHD. There is no shame in being “another person from tik tok” bcs so many women aren’t diagnosed when they are younger. Even if you don’t have it, it’s never a waste to check.
    EDIT- omg I’ve watched you for years and surprisingly never noticed the adhd traits you have BUT wow. (I def see it now lol)
