My writing has been slow. I get maybe a couple hundred words in a day on break at work. But I'm writing. It may take me five times as long to write it as I hoped, but I'm going to finish this dang book. The idea has certainly stuck with me long enough that I'm not letting it go til it's on paper.
Thank you for making this video!! Its kind of funny how today I was really down, thinking that my stories are not going anywhere and overall feeling really low. Your video was a smack in the face (in a good way). You made me remember that this is a journey and I shouldn't judge my self worth on the amount of or lack of success. I'm going try to enjoy the ride of my writing journey because I know I have a lot to be thankful for and mostly importantly, I'm not alone.
Mmm... You are right, but are not right. Its true all about that we all have something that others don't, and that a bless. But, but... Its not about mi blessing but about my ambitions. Love to hear you ladies.
I find I need to fill the creative vessel often. We don’t have unlimited amounts. Like Julie Cameron teaches to go on artist dates in her book The Artist Way. When I feel like I want to quit I know that it is time for a break and get away.
everything you said about being present and enjoying your "future success" in the now was beautiful! I say the same thing all the time, it's so important
Life is an adventure. My daughter and I used to travel everywhere looking for sites to dig. We Los rye Happy2B in 2017 during Irma and our lives changed. She married her sweetheart and I began writing again. My stories keep evolving and I have to write them down to clear my slate. My stories come from somewhere and like a twenty foot wave you have to ride it out wherever it takes you.
I have to tune down my Prologue as it has too much detail to quick. I have twelve prologue that guide the stories on an outside track tying in the cliff hanging sine wave to keep the rhythm oratory beat constant.
When I'm editing, I save after EVERY sentence change. Mainly because if something went wrong, I wouldn't remember the changes I made. And then I back that file up when I've finished my editing session.
I've been moving, repairing and replacing things for months and finally today had the time to copy files to Scrivener from my old Linux laptop and spent three hours on Fadein adding to my Prologue. Tomorrow I setup Scrivener with my Manuscript and organize my story structure so I can migrate the other stories... cliffhangers.
If you need a group of supporting moms who write. That is the name of a facebook group that is probably the best community I've joined. Again, you HAVE to be a mom. But for those of you who are, this is a great, supportive group.
May I echo what you just said."The time and attention that effects you!" I am in the middle of editing my 2nd novella and sometimes I take a break to go on a bike ride or a hike. (I didn't before) Take a breath and enjoy the now - the surroundings of now! #staystoked #rockon #selfbelief #emmonssisters #encouragement #innercircle #freedom
Hello again Ms. Abbie and Ms. Kate!😊 Thank you for another amazing podcast. This is really inspiring! I can really relate to this. I only have either Sun., Mon., Tues. and Weds. afternoon or evening to write. Today, after an argument with someone I thought I won't be able to write. Ironically, I finished my draft about origins of Magic Wielders. Writing helps me calm myself and pretend to be in another reality. It is true, it's building something brick by brick. I make sure I write even one sentence in my draft if I have spare time. You two are my inspiration everyday. Thank you for sharing your insights and wisdom...😊
Another great episode. Kate - finished the Blood Race trilogy last week (Audible version). Excellent, really enjoyed the series. Abbie - finished 100 Days today (Audible). Loved the writing and really nice job on the narration.
Thank you for all the great stuff and work you both are doing here on TH-cam for free. I imagine it's not easy to see immediate results for you, but you are changing a lot of lives giving us so much energy, info and inspiring us. I can definitely say that from almost September 2021, when I discovered Abbie's channel, one of the 5 people I frequent the most during the day is Abbie 😆. She has so many incredible videos that I love whatching or just listening daily (almost 1,5 per day) and it really makes my day, so thank you very much girls for all this amazing work and the love you put there. I've seen you both seem tired and burnout, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll see great tangible results before you expect. Until that, THANKS 💕
Yeah it's hard for me right now because I'm easily distracted, and my mind's all over the place... Not to mention I get held back especially by whatever my parents ask me to do around the house, especially when they ask me to be there for other family members. 😩
When it comes to burn out, I recently started thinking of it like the spring turrets in Portal that use 100% of the bullet because it’s 65% more bullet. It’s hard for me to articulate but it makes enough sense to me to help me not push myself too hard.
Same. I've been working on my first novel for a long time, and what holds me back so far is anxiety, being distracted easily, and anything going on in my family.
Been trudging through chapter nine for a week now. After crawling through chapter eight for weeks. Have slim outlines prepared for ten and eleven. Twelve through fourteen are finished. Fifteen is the unfinished end to my children’s chapter book. Staying patient and positive as this is my first attempt outside rhyming picture books. But it makes me look at my barely begun novel with fear. Also have a fairy tale started that is equally (maybe less so) intimidating. I wouldn’t call it stress though, which is good I guess. Looking forward to getting better at this. Thanks, ladies!
Lately I have been stuck in a rut with editing and editing. It feels all I do is edit. My stories need so much work as I had always written in the wrong "format" apparently. Say with show vs tell and much more. So I have to rework all my writings. I've been trying for years and my dream is to be published and more I learn of writing and how I have been writing the wrong way all these years seems like my dream is slipping away. I've tried Beta readers and they never come through. I'm stuck and not sure how to fix all my writings without taking months of redoing them all.
Do you guys have any control over which companies use the advertising space at the beginning of your videos? Because I just happily clicked on your video and was greeted with the sound of a captive owl SCREAMING it’s heart out in pain and I legitimately started crying holy shit. It’s a PETA ad and there was zero warning about what I was about to hear.
unfortunately we have no control over the ads that play...you might be able to taylor what kind of ads you want to see in your youtube account settings, but I am not sure!
Abbie and Kate are definitely my virtual mentor people (even though I’ve never met them! 😂🤣) thank you guys for that!!! 😄🤩🤗
this truly made our day and warmed our hearts!💛🙏🌻 we are humbled and blessed to be a part of your writing journey!!

Wow! I just discovered you two and immediately subscribed. Total awesome sauce!!

So correct, Sandi. Couldn't agree more, mental self regulation is important

Writing and spirituality combined- I'm in heaven!

Love this! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! Keep writing, and keep looking after yourself!🌻
I’m afraid of losing a manuscript so I keep multiple copies in different apps backed up to the cloud

Thank you so much for this video! I loved it! I wish I had a supportive community of writer friends💛
Someone once said that we underestimate what we can accomplish in a year and overestimate what we can do in a day.
Another great episode. Kate - finished the Blood Race trilogy last week (Audible version). Excellent, really enjoyed the series. Abbie - finished 100 Days today (Audible). Loved the writing and really nice job on the narration.
This was so encouraging!!
Thank you both for your words and encouragement in this video. Much appreciated!

Thank you for your insights. They are a good reminder to enjoy the journey. Love you girls. 👧 ❤️
This has been a great viewing (and listening) experience. It's been helpful. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for the positivity!

Thank you so for the video! 🌸🌸
This is a great episode. Lots to consider. Thanks!

Yay! This was so nice. I am working on my first novel and needed to hear this today, thank you!
YES, Angelica!

I’m glad I watched this video today. Really needed it. Thank you ❤️
Been trudging through chapter nine for a week now. After crawling through chapter eight for weeks. Have slim outlines prepared for ten and eleven. Twelve through fourteen are finished. Fifteen is the unfinished end to my children’s chapter book.

I wouldn’t call it stress though, which is good I guess.

Thanks, ladies!
YAAAAY thank you!
Thanks for the great video. Also, can you tell me what microphone you are using in this podcast? Thanks.
We use RØDE microphones! Thanks for being here!
