Welcome to this cozy, laid back writing vlog! This vlog is probably a little less polished than my other writing vlogs; I wanted to have a candid chat about imposter syndrome, writing and rejection, and some of the difficulties of writing. I hope you like this format! It was a good, cozy, productive day at home and I managed to get a lot of writing done despite the issues I've been having with concentration and getting distracted ~
Take care everyone and enormous love 😊

As much as I love writing, it can be a very lonely process. That’s why I enjoy watching other people’s writing progress and routines. It makes me feel like we’re all in this together, and it keeps me motivated when I’m stuck on something I’m dreading to write. I always love your writing vlogs, so don’t worry about us not reading your finished projects. There’s something really magical about the journey. Thank you for these vlogs!! ❤️
I just realised that you are writing for the love of writing and not publishing, and you are saying out loud! Thanks for this Christy, i have been procrastinating and overthinking that I am not "there" yet to write.. Thank you thank you for being honest and thoroughly open, it gives me a breakthrough that, I dont have to be a published writer to write a book... ! Im gonna start digging into writing.
I have been diagnosed with acute anxiety recently, and it’s been really difficult. Your vlogs really help me feel grounded. Thank you for helping without even realising.
Her videos are definitely soothing and help in reducing the overwhelm, you can also check out Liziqi's channel to soothe and relax. 👍
I am interested in seeing other people's writing routines too and watching writing vlogs is the best kind of break for me between writing sprints 🥰🥰🥰
Always love listening to you talk about writing. These cosy vlogs are always relaxing. Imposter syndrome is real and it feels as if it becomes more prevalent with the more we achieve. Anxiety definitely doesn't help those feelings. We're all here to support you and be a sounding board if you need. You know we are always on the Christy train!
I actually quite enjoy the vlogs where you're not out and about, where you just either read or write at home. It's quite cosy to just be in your own bubble sometimes and hunker down on a project, or just disappear into another world. So, more of both kinds of vlogs!
Having a physically icky day, it is always motivating to get my client's content written intersperced with peering in on your writing videos. The clip of the clouds rolling by to the sound of your typing is epic! LOL
Thank you for your writing vlogs, they are very inspiring! I love the pretty cinematic pictures, but I do find this format more relatable and, hence, more inspiring. As someone, who cannot go to a coffee shop to get some writing done, I appreciate seeing other people carving out some room in their busy schedules and homes to write. I also love listening to you talking about your writing experience! It demystifies the act of writing and makes it more approachable.
This was a really delightful, calming and eye opening vlog about your writing process. Also, I think it’s cool that you love writing imagery. As a reader, I belong to the possibly smaller percentage who genuinely enjoys reading imagery - I’m actually less into the plot itself. As a reader, I like believable character development, an interesting writing style and beautiful imagery.
I love how soothing your writing vlogs are. I'm reading the House on the Cerulean Sea now on your recommendation. I love that your vlogs are about writing because you love writing, even if you know that the end results might not be shared with the viewers. I used to love writing and stopped after graduating because I felt like there was no point if I wasn't going to pursue it as a career. We never look at people playing instruments or drawing or painting that way- you can enjoy the process and create without expectations. Anyway this was just a really long winded way of saying thank you for sharing this vlog
Revisiting this after you finished the project and got a literary agent. It’s so wonderful to see your growth and your journey as a writer. I’m so glad you chose to share it with us! 🖤
This is then mindset I need to get into about my writing. I keep thinking I want to leave something behind so that when I'm gone I'm not forgotten, but the truth is no one has control over that. I want to enjoy writing and enjoy my life while I'm alive. If I get to publish a book (even through self publishing), that's just an added bonus.
I need to stop letting my thought of, "My writing is cliché and no one will ever read it, so why bother?" keep me from doing what I love. Thank you for posting this video, it's definitely given me something to think about.
More videos like this one would be excellent.
I have to compliment you on that thumbnail! It's so striking and well composed
i love you and your videos so much
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like my videos! 💛💛
I loved this format! Both kinds of writing vlogs work for me tbh, I´m jus inspired no matter what.
Also, as someone who likes writng but doesnt have the chance to write in aesthetic coffee shops very often (more like ever), its very nice to see you thriving and overcoming obstacles in your pjs at your house. It reinforces the idea that sometimes you can make things work no matter where you are (although having a space that works for you is very important!).
It is so interesting to see how you plot and organise your ideas. I started a project with various characters with an important back story and I decided to try a new way of building the characters and let them all tell their own life story. I‘m creating a lot of writing that I won‘t use (i guess I will write about 5000 words for each of them) but it is interesting to see what details come up when you don‘t yet restrict yourself.
I love finding out about other people's writing routines. It's nice to watch passionate people like you. It really reminds me how in love I am with writing myself.
I loved the format of this blog Christy! I’d love to see more simple writing days at home!
Dear Christy, finally I managed it to watch your video in time and comment on it!
As a fellow writer I can relate so much - I love imagery to pieces as well! Whereas dialogue or proper world building are a bit harder for me. I prefer short stories, because you can use them to present one certain atmosphere, one certain situation. Big stories on the other hand are so scary! I started writing my first novel during the NaNoWriMo in 2020, but I didn't continue until around a month ago. The thought of all the chapters I've written before and the amount that need to follow scare and motivate me at the same time. But once I managed to start again, I felt all the love and admiration I have for my characters and the plot coming back.
From one amateur writer with imposter syndrome to the other - we do our best and discover our works and characters step by step and that's it. Rejection fxcking hurts at first, but we continue traveling with our words. We should be proud of ourselves! ❤
Thank you for the vlog, it helped me unwind after work! And I might write a little bit later tonight as well! 😊
I loved these types of vlogs, more chatty and more of you typing, because it inspires me and motivates me to continue writing too😊
Christy your videos are such a treat. You are such a wholesome person! Its so great to watch your magnificent videos!!🌸🎐😊
Thank you!! I'm so glad you like them 💛
Thanks for sharing your writing journey.
This popped up in my recommended and I'm absolutely in love with everything in this video. I'm also a writer and artist and I related to basically everything you talked about! Beautiful work :D
Yay! Another writing vlog!
😀💛💛💛
I love how honest you are about even the littlest of things. 😊😊 Please keep making videos, your videos are really therapeutic!❤️
I am supposed to be studying but I took some time to upload a video and I saw my FAVOURITE TH-camr posted a video too!!! Then I have to watch it first before I start studying again 😆💖 I just finished the whole video, I think I have more motivation and inspiration to study now!! Yay 🌷 hope you have a wonderful week Christy 🌱 you’re the sweetest person in the world ☁️ love you so much 🥰
Self Publish. You have a you tube following and people who will want to read your work😊. Take the back door into getting recognised rather than following the mainstream route regarding publishing.
I second this! I’d love to read your writing and I’m sure there are many others of us here that follow you who would as well, look at Texan in Tokyo she self published 2/3 books. I forget how many! But she used Kickstarter to fund hers and I could definitely see you doing the same and being successful at it!
Of course, the disadvantage of self-publishing is that you take on all of the financial burden yourself, whereas traditional publishers do everything for you and pay, too.
Thank you for this vlog. I loved this format! Have you ever considered self-publishing? I know some writers choose that route. I love that you're so real about your insecurities about writing too. That's very authentic.
I make notes out of order, have pages of character and chapter ideas in my book bible, but I always write my books in order.
I loved this format! Please do more.
Amazing personality and inspiration!
Please more videos like this 🙏🤍 love your vlogs so much 💖
I love your writing videos, I would love to see more and more of your other types of content. I hope your project is going well xx
I love love love your vlogs! They always give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. You are such an inspiration ♡
I was waiting when you'll post. My serotonin boost!!
Your edit and colour palette are always the best! Your lipstick is so pretty, what brad is it?
Thank you for share your process.✨ Sometime I feel the same about my artworks that nobody see or probably nobody gonna see ever!
Have you ever consider publish yourself ?? I don't know the process or copywriting stuff, but you have us to support you. ❤️
I actually love hearing from an unpublished author!! I write a lot of stories that may never see the light of day, but I still go through the writing process. It makes me feel really good to relate to someone who is writing but isn't necessarily a famous published author.
Really enjoyed this vlog, more videos like this please! ♥
Wish you the best with your writing 💗 and even if your stories don't get published on a big scale, hope you still share them or self publish them some day 💗 still I think they will get published 😊
I 💓 the video!! Keep writing, Christy 😍😍
💛💛
Very nice format
A bit random but I've been wondering about it for a while. What kind of keyboard do you use? It seems really good for long stretches of writing.
how interesting, I'm trying this.
Best of luck with it! 😀💛
Love your videos, calming and inspiring. I notice you put on earbuds when you start writing, if you feel comfortable letting us know, what do you listen to? Thanks!
This is so relaxing 😍😍😍
Where is your tea infuser from? I love the little charm at the end of it, I’m obsessed
It's from T2! :)
Hello! I was looking forward to ☺, but it looks good on round glasses!
😊💛
What song do you use throughout the vlog? I love it!
"I could spend 20,000 words describing a tree ... but people reading aren't necessarily going to enjoy it very much." People who read Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time) or Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, Stormlight Archive) might ...
With me reading a book, everything in the book has to be detailed especially where the location if you know what I mean. Reader and writer here. New subscriber ❤️
Do you have a video on how to properly format a book in Word? 🤍
"I can write 20,000 words on imagery." I feel like that's something tolkien would've said
Just found your channel - I'm also a freelance writer (more so on the game design and narrative design side of the pool), but I love your no-nonsense, enthusiastic perspective, makes it difficult not to want to just sit down and write :D Also, do you tend to use Windows most of the time for your writing work?
Oh that's cool! I've always been super interested in narrative design for games :D and yesss I am not an apple person hahah I use almost exclusively ms word on windows (or google docs if I have to) 😊
To those who reading this - all the best in your life 💌💕
Smile today and you'll have a great day 🦋✨

Thank you 💛💛
Hi Christy, thank you for sharing your process. What do you listen to while you write? 💕💕🌼
I've been *published* through zines, and little books made from my old tafe's publishing house, and in a magazine's off-shoot book that was edited and created by the post-graduate students who are some of my friends from when I did uni with. So like, /technically/ I'm a published writer, but I can't say "you can buy it from here" so it's really tough.
What is the app you were using for the writing sprints?
I love your music. It would be nice to know who the artist is.
What if you plotted out both ways the story could turn out and decide then how you want it to go?
I really wish you books get publish one day
What is your soup recipe? Do tell 😍
I love your videos and i would love to read your stories. Just an idea tho, have you ever considered Wattpad to publish your stories? Some writters got famous from Wattpad and they got published into books. 😅
I wonder if you'd ever chose to go the indie route with any of your unpublished works ... you could always have a hybrid career as a trad and indie author.
candy box of Setsuko :")
Where is your minnie mouse red mug? I love that one
hahah it's safely resting in the cupboard! I love that mug too 😊

Hi, as someone who uses gluten free flour, it can be drier than regular flour and may need extra liquid. Cocoa also is quite dry so you may have created a perfect storm of dryness. I know scones take more liquid to turn out right. And something's just never work right. Making biscuits that use Almond flour, like macaroons is a really good gluten free alternative. Shortbread also works very well, because there is no gluten to activate and so they stay really 'short'. Good luck with your baking.
