I can't believe it made you get up at 3am then gave you nothing but coffee and a handful of chocolate chips to fuel 4 hours of sprints. That's downright sadistic.
This was utter madness. 😂 But getting up at an early (not THAT early) hour and then work for 3 hours, then 2 and finally 1 hour in pomodoros with some breaks in between sounds actually like a good idea.
Yeah agreed!! I think doing away with that large 4-hour chunk, early wake-up, and chocolate chips might result in a pretty great writing routine bahahah. I might have to try it out sometime!!! Let me know if you test it. :)
Watching Kate get ready to write and then realize the /computer/ was missing is a perfect depiction of waking up at 3 AM. Way to take one for the team, Kate! Worth noting, I tried to generate an AI routine myself, for funsies, and Chat GPT was waaaaay nicer to me lol! No matter what prompts I fed it it kept reminding me to take breaks and prioritize my well being and celebrate my small wins 😂
As someone who frequently goes to bed at 3am, this routine would destroy me. I think even if I flipped it 12 hours and started at 3pm, that handful of chocolate chips would do me in lol.
I've been really into Harry Potter this year, so I've been using AI as a tool to help me develop a fanfic on Sirius Black. The reason I used AI was because I'm new to the Harry Potter fandom. I've gone through a few revisions and so far I've gotten a good solid plot.
Goosebumps: in cold sweat, raised skin bumps, shivers, creeps, heebie-jeebies, horripilation, hair stand on end. Your description is certainly provocative.
I'm a huge fan of weird interpretations for common things. So your weird description of goosebumps was phenomenal. I'd have pivoted the whole book to adopt that peculiar style 😂
LOOOOL! It was definitely evocative!!! I honestly had goosebumps rereading it just because I personally hated it so much lolol, so maybe effective too. 😂 I did have a strange dream I remembered upon waking that really messes with words and phrases, so maybe I can rework that to fit this completely separate story now. You're making me think!!!
So happy for another Kate video :) I also used ChatGPT before, mostly for creating character goals, flaws and so on. The chatbot really helped to get things clear and straight!
@@KateCavanaugh I started by telling ChatGPT what my story is about and what the backstory of each character was. Then I asked ChatGPT to create a short summary of the hero’s journey of each character with the hint to add the internal and external goal and their inner conflict (if I didn’t know it already). When I received the answer, I moved the content into the direction I wanted by saying what needed to be changed. For the character development, I asked ChatGPT to divide it into three main stages: the beginning, the middle and the end. It really helped me to get a clear picture of my characters. Most of the time, I already knew what they were like, but ChatGPT summarized it so well and also mentioned things that I somehow had in mind but just hadn’t put on paper yet. Definitely give it a try, it helps when you’re stuck or unmotivated :)
I've been toying around with AI for help with writing stuff for a few weeks now (though I've mostly used Bing's AI). My favorite use by far was when I prompted it to write a book review based on a brief description of my project. It got some details wrong (which was to be expected), but it was super motivational to think that someday people might actually like my story enough to say such nice things about it.
I'm actually crying laughing and you haven't even started the challenge yet. Hello, I am new to your channel today. This isn't the first video I came to - I was looking for advice on zero drafts - but oh my goodness, I feel nothing short of BLESSED that this just happens to be one of your most recent videos when I checked out the whole channel. You have a new subscriber, this is hilarious.
I have used ChatGPT to help me create a song to put in my novel, since I cannot include any real music. I had totally picked out 6 awesome songs that fit perfectly. The idea of writing a whole novel, as well as SIX songs to include in the novel was overwhelming. A friend suggested I ask AI for help. I do have to tweak the lyrics, but I'm starting with something.
Oh my gosh, I knew this was going to be off the wall bonkers the moment I read ChatGPT lol! 1) As for whether I'd ever try it....they lost me at 3AM. I don't even sleep until 3AM some nights! This does seem like a solid routine for "edits are due by tomorrow and I'm 10k words short" type scenario though lol. 2) Getting into the zone for me can be a challenge, so I've made many attempts to train myself, Pavlov-style--very few of which have been successful. The only thing that reliably works is following the urge to write whenever it arises (if possible), like a few weeks ago when I wrote a flash fiction about zombies on my phone while riding in a taxi through the Korean countryside lol. If the mood strikes, I just follow it! 3/4) I work in content writing and marketing, so I have used ChatGPT in that capacity...however, I don't find myself turning to it for anything but idea generation. It can spit out some great jumping points for social media posts or blog titles, but when it comes to the actual content, I've yet to feel like it's up to scruff with something written by a real person. Every time I THINK to use it for convenience, I end up forgoing at least 80% of the suggested content in favor of writing the content myself. I do think it's going to have huge impacts on the artistic space, but at the moment I can't imagine an AI writing something that wouldn't be better done by a real life author who can play with language, theme, and style.
Utter madness 😊 as is to be expected when you ask an AI for a crazy routine 😂 loved watching you, though. Yes, I use AI to jumpstart my creativity, come up with story ideas, and such. Sometimes, I play solo journaling RPG, and for writing about "a sphinx tells you a riddle" I will ask ChatGPT to come up with the riddle. Is very fun.
This is now one of my fave videos of yours absolute madness yes but fun and motivational to watch. Would love to see something else with Chat gpt but of course probably something less wild hahaha.
Omg Kate! 3Am! 3Am! 😲😲 Now in all fairness, that is the time that I go to bed most nights but I can’t imagine waking up at that time (mostly because I would have to go to bed super early to make that happen and I can’t got bed early either lol). I almost fell out laughing at you zoning out and not knowing whether or not you fell asleep 🤣🤣 I totally feel you on when you said after a certain period of time your brain creatively taps out because I am the same. I think that it might be why I am still on the hunt for the perfect writing routine (perhaps because there is no such thing) and I am dreading when I try out Brandon Sanderson’s routine, not because of the time frames per say (because his routine is wake up at noon go to bed at 4am) but because his routine has two 4 hour chunks of writing time in it (with a four hour downtime in between and 2 hour downtime at the end) and I just don’t know if I can be creative for two long stretches of time. But I guess I’m going to find out lol. As for me, I am not a fan of using AI in any capacity but I loved this video Kate, as usual. Take care! ❤❤
I haven't used ChatGPT, but I have used Dungeon AI which allows you to sprt of roleplay with the AI. It was fun to play around with for a while and one of the stories I created with it gave me ideas and inspiration of my own to use and I plotted a book with those ideas (with a lot of heavy edited because the AI is often unfocused and unhinged). I didn't use everything it gave me and I added a lot myself, but I think it's an interesting tool to draw inspiration from, although i don't think it can or should replace human creativity.
Props to you Kate for sticking with that crazy routine! I don't think I could have done it lol. Love your writing routine videos, always so fun to watch and see how individual the writing process is. Early this year I used ChatGPT to write a novella as a sort of experiment for how AI could change writing, and while it is fascinating, it's not quite replacing the author just yet in my opinion, as the output needs LOTS of human guidance and editing. (Though GPT4, the newest version, has made some improvements!) I ended up publishing it through KDP just for fun, and did a couple videos about the process and my thoughts on the whole thing. 😊
This was such a fun, creative, original idea! And such a fun video. I laughed at "gross" at 3 am (totally understand) and when buffy (I get the dogs' names confused haha but the german shephard?) tried to lie down on the tiny dog bed hahaha also miss your cooking with classics! maybe you can do a "try to solve an agatha christie" reading vlog! haha or cozy vibes vlogs! looking forward to more videos as always :)
This is the best thing ever. You deserve a full night of sleep and a full day of relaxation after this, my friend. You gave me inspiration, so I told AI, "Make me a crazy writing routine." Its reply started off, "As an AI, I don't encourage unhealthy writing habits or routines that can detrimental to your physical or mental health." Here is the full schedule: Morning: 1. Wake up at 4:00 a.m. 2. Drink a strong cup of coffee or other caffeinated beverage to jump-start your brain. 3. Spend 30 minutes meditating or doing light exercise to clear your mind and get your blood flowing. 4. Write for a focused block of time, such as 3 hours, without any breaks. Mid-Morning: 5. Take a 5-minute break to stretch and hydrate. 6. Write for another 3-hour block without any breaks. Lunchtime: 7. eat a light and healthy lunch, such as a salad or smoothie, to keep your energy levels up. 8. Take a 15-minute power nap to recharge your brain. Afternoon: 9. Spend 1 responding to emails or other necessary tasks. 10. Write for another 3-hour block without any breaks. Evening: 11. Take a 30-minute break to exercise or do something else that gets you moving. 12. Write for another 2-hour block without any breaks 13. Take a break to eat dinner and spend time with loved ones Night: 14. Spend 30 minutes reviewing your work from the day and making any necessary edits. 15. Take a relaxing bath or shower to down before bed. 16. Sleep for at least 7 hours to allow your brain and body to rest and recover. You needed my AI to give you a crazy writing routine lol. Though, there is no mention of breakfast. And I know that I will feel like crap for the rest of the day if I don't eat breakfast.
Does anyone know, what she is making at around Time: 20:34? Looks kinda good. Also: getting up at 3 sounds horrible... but until 7 one can write like 4 hours already and thats kinda awesome?
*gasp* How did I almost miss this video. What the heck? Hahaha "I don't think fun is what I'm going to be having" Your cheese bread looks so good every time like damn it makes me so hungry every time. This has inspired me to do a video where I use ChatGPT to generate a routine based around prolific authors writing routines.
I'm in the middle of trying to write 9-5 Monday through Friday and this routine definitely sounds more fun 😂 Next week, I'm writing like Brandon Sanderson again for 7 days because I love his routine (although adjusted to fit my normal hours so 6am-10am and then 3pm-7pm). I'll definitely have to try pomodoros for a day or two. I think a whole week of them would get boring tbh
I'm pretty uncomfortable with AI and it's been making me feel like a dinosaur lol. This is the first time I've ever been tempted to check it out though. It gave some nice advice when you asked it for a healthy routine so I kindof wonder if it could spit out a healthy and ADHD-friendly routine (and an insane challenge or two to try out)
Hi I finshed my screenplay. I also did a round of editing it. It is ready for read if you want to read it. Just let me know where I can share it. I am pretty happy about it. Though I feel like I could have done some things better though, but I am not going to bother spending too much on this screenplay. I’ll focus on making things better in the next screenplay. The things I want to fix with this screenplay is to make the action tags a bit more fun. I have read certain screenplays like Only Murders In the Building and a couple of Doctor Who where things are a bit more fun and they are a bit more dramatic, and I want to emanate that.
Dude I just tried this and I have to stand on one leg while writing for 2 hours straight with my non dominant hand. For another hour I have to write with my EYES CLOSED?!? YOU GOT IT EASY, KATE
Lololol! I definitely skipped over some options. Google Bard had some interesting suggestions that sound similar to what you might be going through. 👀 GOOD LUCK! HOPE YOU SURVIVED!!!!
Woah im really giving you congratulations on even truing that wacky writing routine chat GPT suggested 😮 Hope you are better from that challenge and that you dont wanna vomit. Yikes 😬 I wanna try a new routine for writing so maybe AI can help lol😅
MILES NOOOOO! HOW?!?! Bahaha. I need you to explain!! That's so wild. I'm simultaneously impressed and horrified lolol. But if it works for you, it works for you!! (Most importantly: do you eat a handful of chocolate chips with your coffee each morning? Bahaha.)
@@KateCavanaugh I turn in very early, usually around 6:00-8:00. In lieu of coffee, I drink an energy shot, which sees my through to the end of the day. I don't typically snack before or during the writing, though I believe I've had a handful of chocolate chips at least once. Where my routine differs from this one is that I focus on one project and get as much down as possible. Hope this was helpful.
Can I just detail the topic and devout my undying love for chat GPT as a research tool? The way it lays out info and so quickly is so useful for when you want to draft fast and not interrupt your flow. Also in my less motivated days I’ve asked if for feedback on a scene and it’s had some interesting insights 😂
Since I have to start waking at 3 AM for my job as soon as I have a second vehicle, this experiment doesn't have the effect on me as I think it had on you. Maybe? I don't know. I imagine it would at first, but this, to me, seems like the perfect routine if I were trying to attempt 10K in a day, but I'm also constantly eating chocolate at all parts of the day and I don't drink coffee, so as long as I could have my one energy drink in place of the coffee, this might actually be a good routine for me to try. Hmmm... I might have to attempt this the next time I'm planning a 10K day...
I have bottles of water in my house on a constant basis, so that's not a worry, and I already meal prep for work, so that wouldn't be hard to plan for as well. The only thing I'd need to account for is bathroom breaks, and I think I'd work those in during sprints because I do that normally anyway when live streaming.
It's been a month since you released this video, so i don't know if you're still responding to comments, but I'm curious how your partner handles these crazy writing routines you try out? Is he a super deep sleeper? Is he out of town when you take these on?
Wow. With all that chocolate you won't need to create a brail version, people will be able to read the spots on your face. 😄I have a sunlight and birdsong alarm which wakes me up feeling great. Perfect for people like me who feel like hibernating all through the UK winter. The funniest writing video I have seen in ages. New sub.
I'm sorry for your suffering Kate, but this was extremely entertaining to watch. The collective regret across your face and the ones that were crazy enough to do this with you made me laugh so hard and cemented that I will NOT be trying this routine as I'm not insane enough to do it LMAO! Thanks for taking one for the team though! As for the use of AI in creative endeavors. As an artist who is heavily a part of the art community, AI for creativity is collectively hated by a good majority as a lot of community famous artists have had their work collectively fed into these machines (i.e stolen) without permission or compensation (that's not even the worst of what's happening right now), and many of these companies are currently facing lawsuits for theft. I can leave some links to videos that better comprehensively talk about the issue of AI art if you like. Also within the fanfiction community...it's very, VERY much despised. Mostly because so many people spend their free time writing thousands of words worth of content for FREE that AI stuff that only takes a few minutes feels like a slap in the face. Here's a link from a post on Tumblr that talks about fic writers' experiences more in-depth. www.tumblr.com/catholicorprotestant/713630681684721664 My thoughts on AI content are...complicated. I think for stuff like this it's fine. But ultimately, knowing the icky legal loopholes regarding theft that are prevalent and the lack of legal protection for both writers and artist, I don't care for it as it stands right now. But I'm curious if anyone has a different opinion on it! Anyway, love the video as always Kate!
this is kind of my routine. I mean I don't usually alternate projects or wake at 3am but yeah this is sounding very me. Yes I am an unhealthy writer. But I get it done okay.
HERO!!!! That's just so wild to me. I'm even more in awe that you're maintaining this without switching projects too! I'm not sure how I could've possibly done this without alternating. I will say, as I'm still reading through and encoding The Perfectionist's Guide to Letting Go, if you just deeply enjoy those long hours and aren't experiencing any negative side effects, then who cares?? Do you!!
@@KateCavanaugh so I thought I would do a breakdown of what an average day looks like for me. 745am Wake up and spend an half hour to hour getting ready to leave my bed (I have fibromiagia and this is honestly the hardest part of my day.) 830am Watch TH-cam/scroll on instagram 9am coffee (depending if I have to do anything with my mom makes sure she has taken her meds this might also become breakfast and by the time all of that is done its usually 930-10am) 930am start writing taking breaks every hour or so to catch up with writing friends or post on instagram/TH-cam. Make sure to drink lots of water. (Depending on the day this might happen before the TH-cam/instagram wake up and if my fibromialgia is not bothering me I might actually get to writing as soon as I wake up. I also like yo spend an hour or two reading) 1230pm lunch time, stretch, take a break, walk around the house to get some exercise (if it's warm out I might go outside for my walk but avoid it in the depths of winter when it's -30°c ) 130-330pm another bit to get some writing done (depending on the day this might be at the library or I might skip this bit to have a nap instead) 3:30pm walking around trying to find things to do around the house cleaning, crafting, reading, make more coffee, play with the pets ect 5:00pm start on super or try to find something to eat depending if I am cooking for my household or if I am just eating something myself.) Usually spend some time with family do stretches and watch some TH-cam videos. 7pm final writing session of the day (sometimes live on instagram) 11pm finish up writing grab a drink settle into bed to watch TH-cam (critical role on Thursday at 9pm) 1230-1am finally go to bed. But honestly like I said there are a lot of small variations of this like if I wake up at 5am randomly then I will just start writing right away have breakfast at 8am, and then get everything else delt with for the day before going back to writing at 1-3 (this is my standard writing time unless the day has gotten away from me) and I like to spend about 1-2 hours reading in the morning (not always manageable) but if I wake up early I'm usually in bed by 10pm.
Just don’t put your actual writing in there, to critique/edit etc. It can steal your writing and give your words to other people. I’m sure you know this but a lot of people on tiktok are falling for this and who knows how that will effect future copyright/plagiarism issues.
I'm disappointed in Chat GPSs interpretation of the word CRAZY! No long breaks for Snipe-hunting, no writing backwards while upside down, no singing at the page and willing the words to appear. AI has no sense of adventure.
I can't believe it made you get up at 3am then gave you nothing but coffee and a handful of chocolate chips to fuel 4 hours of sprints. That's downright sadistic.
This was utter madness. 😂 But getting up at an early (not THAT early) hour and then work for 3 hours, then 2 and finally 1 hour in pomodoros with some breaks in between sounds actually like a good idea.

As a long time viewer, I cannot possibly convey how excited I was when I saw the cheese bread being made
HEHEHEHE YAY!!! Seriously the best comfort food. I NEEDED IT.
I’m going to try this but put in my work time and other commitments and see what comes out
*gasp* How did I almost miss this video. What the heck?
Hahaha "I don't think fun is what I'm going to be having"
Your cheese bread looks so good every time like damn it makes me so hungry every time.
This has inspired me to do a video where I use ChatGPT to generate a routine based around prolific authors writing routines.
I'm currently doing an experiment with this so program and one of my CP's I'm excited to see what happens.
I haven't used AI to help with my fiction, but I did ask ChatGTP to write a tourists' review of Nashville, TN in the voice of Raymond Chandler.
Love this idea! 😂 the schedule was horror tbh!
Minus the 3 am wake up and no proper breakfast, this system actually sounds good.
I'm in the middle of trying to write 9-5 Monday through Friday and this routine definitely sounds more fun 😂 Next week, I'm writing like Brandon Sanderson again for 7 days because I love his routine (although adjusted to fit my normal hours so 6am-10am and then 3pm-7pm). I'll definitely have to try pomodoros for a day or two. I think a whole week of them would get boring tbh
Haha how fun! Thanks for such a great video 😂 Give Sudowrite a go - it was primed with writers in mind.
At least it didn't say, "Take ten minutes to craft the perfect prompt to guide ChatGPT to write your novel for you."
Okay. This keyboard loooks comfortable to write with. I have to .... I NEED TO know what it is and where to find it.
Ah yes, coffee and chocolate! The breakfast of champions! 😆
I HAD SO MUCH HOPE KELLY bahahaha
@@KateCavanaugh The worst line I ever wrote was "'Whooo?' The owl chirped questioningly."
Bahahahah! I appreciate you sharing (and making me feel better about mine)! Bad lines always make me giggle.
that is a LOOONG writing day!! your stamina is amazing. I think by hour three my brain would be fried 🤣
Bahaha I definitely felt fried by the end of it!! I think changing projects helped a ton, but at the end of the day, I was drraaaaaaaggging.
No point going to bed if it says, wake up at 3am. HAHA Must of confused the dogs too.
I'm pretty uncomfortable with AI and it's been making me feel like a dinosaur lol. This is the first time I've ever been tempted to check it out though. It gave some nice advice when you asked it for a healthy routine so I kindof wonder if it could spit out a healthy and ADHD-friendly routine (and an insane challenge or two to try out)
Can we get the recipe for those little muffins you make?? I’m dying to try them
Hi I finshed my screenplay. I also did a round of editing it. It is ready for read if you want to read it. Just let me know where I can share it.
I am pretty happy about it. Though I feel like I could have done some things better though, but I am not going to bother spending too much on this screenplay. I’ll focus on making things better in the next screenplay. The things I want to fix with this screenplay is to make the action tags a bit more fun. I have read certain screenplays like Only Murders In the Building and a couple of Doctor Who where things are a bit more fun and they are a bit more dramatic, and I want to emanate that.
Dude I just tried this and I have to stand on one leg while writing for 2 hours straight with my non dominant hand. For another hour I have to write with my EYES CLOSED?!? YOU GOT IT EASY, KATE
Lololol! I definitely skipped over some options. Google Bard had some interesting suggestions that sound similar to what you might be going through. 👀 GOOD LUCK! HOPE YOU SURVIVED!!!!
@@KateCavanaugh Barely XD I didn't see the "regenerate" button which was my fault lol
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
That is proper crazy!
Woah im really giving you congratulations on even truing that wacky writing routine chat GPT suggested 😮
Hope you are better from that challenge and that you dont wanna vomit. Yikes 😬
I wanna try a new routine for writing so maybe AI can help lol😅
great video
Well, you did say ‘crazy’. Lol. 😂
Oh my goodness! This is literally MY writing process.
MILES NOOOOO! HOW?!?! Bahaha. I need you to explain!! That's so wild. I'm simultaneously impressed and horrified lolol. But if it works for you, it works for you!! (Most importantly: do you eat a handful of chocolate chips with your coffee each morning? Bahaha.)
@@KateCavanaugh I turn in very early, usually around 6:00-8:00. In lieu of coffee, I drink an energy shot, which sees my through to the end of the day. I don't typically snack before or during the writing, though I believe I've had a handful of chocolate chips at least once. Where my routine differs from this one is that I focus on one project and get as much down as possible. Hope this was helpful.
Thank you for sharing!! It's awesome that you've fine-tuned a routine that works so well for you!
Lol😂 chocolate chips for breakfast!
I used to have to wake up at 3am to go to work. I don’t miss it, lol
Make a video about that Adam Savage book you have read.
Can I just detail the topic and devout my undying love for chat GPT as a research tool? The way it lays out info and so quickly is so useful for when you want to draft fast and not interrupt your flow. Also in my less motivated days I’ve asked if for feedback on a scene and it’s had some interesting insights 😂
Since I have to start waking at 3 AM for my job as soon as I have a second vehicle, this experiment doesn't have the effect on me as I think it had on you. Maybe? I don't know. I imagine it would at first, but this, to me, seems like the perfect routine if I were trying to attempt 10K in a day, but I'm also constantly eating chocolate at all parts of the day and I don't drink coffee, so as long as I could have my one energy drink in place of the coffee, this might actually be a good routine for me to try. Hmmm... I might have to attempt this the next time I'm planning a 10K day...
I have bottles of water in my house on a constant basis, so that's not a worry, and I already meal prep for work, so that wouldn't be hard to plan for as well. The only thing I'd need to account for is bathroom breaks, and I think I'd work those in during sprints because I do that normally anyway when live streaming.
Chaos reins in this one lol
this should be fix for a health class
It's been a month since you released this video, so i don't know if you're still responding to comments, but I'm curious how your partner handles these crazy writing routines you try out? Is he a super deep sleeper? Is he out of town when you take these on?
Wow. With all that chocolate you won't need to create a brail version, people will be able to read the spots on your face. 😄I have a sunlight and birdsong alarm which wakes me up feeling great. Perfect for people like me who feel like hibernating all through the UK winter. The funniest writing video I have seen in ages. New sub.
Kate I'm not sure eating chocolate chips for breakfast is worth waking up at 3am lmao
I'm sorry for your suffering Kate, but this was extremely entertaining to watch. The collective regret across your face and the ones that were crazy enough to do this with you made me laugh so hard and cemented that I will NOT be trying this routine as I'm not insane enough to do it LMAO! Thanks for taking one for the team though!
As for the use of AI in creative endeavors. As an artist who is heavily a part of the art community, AI for creativity is collectively hated by a good majority as a lot of community famous artists have had their work collectively fed into these machines (i.e stolen) without permission or compensation (that's not even the worst of what's happening right now), and many of these companies are currently facing lawsuits for theft. I can leave some links to videos that better comprehensively talk about the issue of AI art if you like. Also within the fanfiction community...it's very, VERY much despised. Mostly because so many people spend their free time writing thousands of words worth of content for FREE that AI stuff that only takes a few minutes feels like a slap in the face. Here's a link from a post on Tumblr that talks about fic writers' experiences more in-depth. www.tumblr.com/catholicorprotestant/713630681684721664
My thoughts on AI content are...complicated. I think for stuff like this it's fine. But ultimately, knowing the icky legal loopholes regarding theft that are prevalent and the lack of legal protection for both writers and artist, I don't care for it as it stands right now. But I'm curious if anyone has a different opinion on it!
Anyway, love the video as always Kate!
this is kind of my routine. I mean I don't usually alternate projects or wake at 3am but yeah this is sounding very me. Yes I am an unhealthy writer. But I get it done okay.
HERO!!!! That's just so wild to me. I'm even more in awe that you're maintaining this without switching projects too! I'm not sure how I could've possibly done this without alternating.
I will say, as I'm still reading through and encoding The Perfectionist's Guide to Letting Go, if you just deeply enjoy those long hours and aren't experiencing any negative side effects, then who cares?? Do you!!
@@KateCavanaugh so I thought I would do a breakdown of what an average day looks like for me.
745am Wake up and spend an half hour to hour getting ready to leave my bed (I have fibromiagia and this is honestly the hardest part of my day.)
830am Watch TH-cam/scroll on instagram
9am coffee (depending if I have to do anything with my mom makes sure she has taken her meds this might also become breakfast and by the time all of that is done its usually 930-10am)
930am start writing taking breaks every hour or so to catch up with writing friends or post on instagram/TH-cam. Make sure to drink lots of water. (Depending on the day this might happen before the TH-cam/instagram wake up and if my fibromialgia is not bothering me I might actually get to writing as soon as I wake up. I also like yo spend an hour or two reading)
1230pm lunch time, stretch, take a break, walk around the house to get some exercise (if it's warm out I might go outside for my walk but avoid it in the depths of winter when it's -30°c )
130-330pm another bit to get some writing done (depending on the day this might be at the library or I might skip this bit to have a nap instead)
3:30pm walking around trying to find things to do around the house cleaning, crafting, reading, make more coffee, play with the pets ect
5:00pm start on super or try to find something to eat depending if I am cooking for my household or if I am just eating something myself.) Usually spend some time with family do stretches and watch some TH-cam videos.
7pm final writing session of the day (sometimes live on instagram)
11pm finish up writing grab a drink settle into bed to watch TH-cam (critical role on Thursday at 9pm)
1230-1am finally go to bed.
But honestly like I said there are a lot of small variations of this like if I wake up at 5am randomly then I will just start writing right away have breakfast at 8am, and then get everything else delt with for the day before going back to writing at 1-3 (this is my standard writing time unless the day has gotten away from me) and I like to spend about 1-2 hours reading in the morning (not always manageable) but if I wake up early I'm usually in bed by 10pm.
first two steps are already my life lmao
"gross" 😂
you type so fast 😊
i hope we can be neighbors one day 😊
Just don’t put your actual writing in there, to critique/edit etc. It can steal your writing and give your words to other people. I’m sure you know this but a lot of people on tiktok are falling for this and who knows how that will effect future copyright/plagiarism issues.
I'm disappointed in Chat GPSs interpretation of the word CRAZY! No long breaks for Snipe-hunting, no writing backwards while upside down, no singing at the page and willing the words to appear. AI has no sense of adventure.
Ask why are aliens still using same model transportation from Jesus time???
