I honestly can’t wait until I hear you found and closed on your house!!! It will happen!! And I so with you on the elections. It is sad and we shouldn’t let it happen. And thanks for the chronic illness support!!! ♥️ 💋
Very happy to hear you are feeling better! Thank you for reminding me to check the date for my local school board election. I agree that we have to do what we can to prevent censorship. Congratulations on your Camp NaNo progress! I’ve been doing pretty good with mine. Health issues have kept me in bed a lot so I’m aiming for 10k this month and I think I’ll make it :) Good luck house hunting!
Thank you for raising awareness about the impact of the small local elections so many folks don’t even realize are happening. And congrats on your progress and better health! Good luck with the house hunting. I don’t know what it’s like in your area, but around here realtors are going door-to-door trying to find people who are willing to sell, because there’s nothing on the market.
Great to hear you're doing better with the infusions, we have the same issue but different with our government here in the UK and just need to vote and make sure our voices are heard!
I'm so glad that your Camp Nano is going so well! And you're so sweet to mention the stream and I was also very happy to be able to spend some time with you as well. You make some really good points about knowing those possibly going for school board positions. It is sad that we have to worry about books being banned at all and especially by diverse voices. I want my children to know about all the diversity we have in us as human beings and that none of it is inherently evil. I'm so sorry that you get such comments. I'm here to support you!
Not much since there was a nationwide power outage in Puerto Rico so I was focus on the phones being charged, food not going to waste, etc that not much writing has been done. Hopefully now that I have power it stays and I can get back to normal. I hope more people vote like you did. Municipal elections are as important as the other big, more well covered by media, ones.
Totally agree Esther. I’m so sorry about the power outage in PR. I’m hoping the power stays up for you too. Sending you good vibes for NaNo, for power cooperating and your stories. 💜
Glad you're feeling better, and good luck with the house hunting. I'm not doing Camp Nano; I participate in National Poetry Month in April. Getting my poem a day in though.
Thank you for your insight into a range of topics in this Vlog. And I’ve also done the silly thing of trying to tackle two different projects for cat nano so I’m struggling with both of them.
The teaser! We can't wait to see what's going on in your world. Local elections are SO important. School boards, commissioners, county officials, etc. are inroads where these non-progressive ideals are getting into our communities. I've donated to the work of Run For Something which supports progressive, diverse candidates in local elections. Worth looking into. You seem to be tolerating the treatment pretty well this round. I hope you're not just being brave for the camera. :) Anyway, have a restful weekend!
Interesting about your surprise... I think I may know what that is! :) That was a good reminder to ask for help if you need it... some are better at that than others. I absolutely detest book banning... I went to a PTA meeting with my mother about book banning when I was a kid, and when my mother told me what they were talking about and why, I was so mad! For one, that kids can't understand the subject matter and can't figure things out for themselves?! And for two, that they were going to ban the book just because they wanted to, and had no good reason to. I remember my mother was one of the few adults talking about stopping the ban, but this was in a small town in the Deep South, so... Books should not be banned for any reason whatsoever. There's that thing called the freedom of the press...
Agree completely. 💜 And I figured a few might figure out our little surprise. Definitely anyone on my Instagram will get a sneak peak or two… I hope all is well with your lovely family. 💜
*heartfelt hugs* Poopheads randomly throwing around words like "groomer" hurts my heart. 'cause not only does it hurt folks who don't meet that description, it reroutes badly needed attention from a genuine child-centered threat to an imaginary one. I believe you are behaving as graciously and pragmatically as one can under the circumstances. Hang in there, Friend.
Calling the LGBTQIA community “groomers” is so old hat. We’ve just circled back because those people are still alive and supported in their trying to take away the human rights of non-cis and non-heterosexual people of the country.
Camp Nanowrimo hasn’t been that great this time around. I wrote 2200 the first day but nothing since. I’m hoping this weekend I can get my butt moving. I’m just feeling super drained lately, so got to plan my spoons accordingly. We’re getting closer to house touring, but still waiting on some things.
I am serious underwriter and it is hard to grow words. I am starting to consider different rages of middle grade, do you think you are writing upper end or lower end of MG?
Upper, my MC is 13, but I may age him down to 12 on revisions. Lower MG is what I read to become a life long reader. So I will go back to that one day. 💜

Heart you! 💜❤️💜
SURPRIIIIIIIIIISE!!!!!! 🎉💖⚡️🙌🏼🔮 AND a word count??? Crushing it!!!
Woot, a surprise I already told ya about. 😂🤣
@@BarrettLaurie I know but I want to contribute to the AnTiciPaTiON!!! ☄️💖⚡️

Hang in there Joey! If we keep plugging along (and vote) it will all work out.

That’s so lovely. I love this challenge and may try it next year.
Happy for all that you’ve accomplished this week. Tuesday will be me & nicoles birthday hope you find a house soon.
Thank Lauren!

Two at once is tough! I’m so proud of you! I’ll be popping over to support you this month and cheer you on!

I appreciate you more than you know. And as for that teaser on the surprise. I’m DMing you now so you’re clued in early!
This was so fun! So glad to see you doing all the things and setting a realistic goal! Very excited to see you succeed!
Still no accountability sprints!!
@@BarrettLaurie … Yet!

Ick about the language hack for the algorithm. Noted. Thanks for flagging!
So is Mom no longer int he mix for Karaoke Cameo after our schedule shift?? :(
Lol, nope. She has a board meeting which sounds significantly less fun.
Good luck finding a house, the market is crazy.

I have bee posting writing prompts on my channel hoping to inspire some creativity
I will go and check them out this weekend!
Love it!
