Not a healthy recipe, but simple since you've already made sweet potato fries. If you ever want a little dessert, melting marshmallows and chocolate on sweet potato fries is delicious. Not too sweet imo if you're not a fan of super sweet stuff. Always love your writing vlogs also 🥰🥰
oh that sounds SO YUMMY
okay, hear me out. part peach cider, part orange poppi drink, part water, and tons of ice. it's DELICIOUS.
i NEED to try this
Yay !! So thankful you started writing vlogs again! I love your writing content 💛

Girl I love your vibes and your videos I just started watching yesterday❤️
WELCOME BESTIE!!❤️❤️
@@sincerelyvee THANK YOU🤭❤️
My grocery list each time for the past 3 weeks has been: bread, mayo, cheese, chicken strips (or chicken burgers) and whatever beverages are on sale. Someone gifted me green onion so now the sandwiches have a bit of variety, and I do technically have a bag of antioxidant berries in the freezer which I constantly forget is there.
A recipe I hoped to have the budget for, and maybe you can try it and let me know how it tastes: a really big fish (the kind that would feed 2 people) and you slice a bunch of tomatoes, you dice a bunch of cauliflower, you pan-fry the tomato and cauliflower with some olive oil, add mango-ginger (or maybe paprika or cayenne if you want more kick), you layer that veggie fry onto the fish once it's cooked, if it still needs some twang you sprinkle green olive slices on top, and have a sour cream dip ready on the side. There are ways we could get crazier with the recipe, but let's start small.
Listeria is a bad way to go. So thank you for not drinking the other 10% of that milk. We want you to stay alive.
"Silence the editor in me" is, in the context of a NaNo, one of the most ambitious goals I've ever seen. Writing brain and editing brain are such disparate forces, aren't they?
Hard drives are indeed the salvation of post-production, and I all but begged my colleague Jeremy to invest in one when we had a film company. But he assumed his Windows 10 could hold all our footage without the post process moving like molasses. He assumed wrong. (LOL. Live and learn.)
I remember that sprint stream with Lynn and Kris. :) That was fun.
Sounds like your process is moving right along.
I'll try not to be 5 days late the next time catching up with you.
that recipe sounds SO yummy i’ll have to give it a try! thank you for watching☺️
ahh i love your vlogs sm! i’ve been on a binge lowkey LOL your videos are so inspiring & your writing journey is rly motivating me to write as well! i wish for your success in the future! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
this means so much to me, thank you🥰🥰
Just subscribed to your channel, I also started writing my first book and your videos really help me a lot. Idk If I want to join camp nanowrimo since this is the first book I'm writing and I'm just doing this for fun. Good luck on your writing journey !!!!
welcome!!!☺️ tyyy and good luck on writing your first book as well, that’s so exciting!
Omg I can’t wait to watch this!! ❤❤
ly bestie❤
I will not be participating in camp nano this year, but I will hopefully keep writing. I haven't written in a few weeks, unfortunately because I'm in the editing stage of my most complete novel idea (even though I haven’t edited either, lol), but I hope to change that today by watching writing vlogs to get me inspired!

I really do believe in what you said about the first draft, that it’s telling yourself a story. And then you edit to tell others the story. I believe I saw it put that way by some famous writer, but it just encapsulated what I already believed.
I'm glad you've worked through your writer’s block! When I write new words, I normally put the last sentence in brackets so that I don't delete them but can go in a different direction by pretending that doesn't exist, and that normally works for me (sorry for the unsolicited advice, lol).
My last draft I had to rearrange chapters but I never re-numbered them, so now the chapters are normal for like the first 17, then it jumps to like 31 or something, it's so funny to look at honestly.
I also use romancing the beat! I'm not using it for this one because it's more mystery/thriller than romance (even though there is a romance in it), but I'm using it for my (you guessed it) romance novel I haven't finished yet. I like what you said about romance characters not hating each other for crossing some line, but for misunderstandings and false impressions of personalities, I feel like that requires not as much suspension of disbelief to read than full-on hating each other.
I'm honestly terrible at outlining, but there are some stories that just need it, like a far in the future project. This one needs more of one, because it's a mystery and needs like, a lot of structure and clues to keep track of.
I personally vote for the scrivener set up video! I'm brand new to the software and I feel like I'm not using it to its full potential.
I like that you end writing sessions when you're happy with the work, I really should do that. I've been experimenting lately, seeing what point I start to lose interest- be it time or word count- and trying to stop before that so I don't see it as a chore.
Thanks for the vlog!
putting an alternate segment in brackets is so smart! very similar to the capture feature on scrivener that i use, a full video will definitely be in the works soon!! also i LOVE mystery/thrillers that’s so exciting! best of luck on your writing projects🤗
You pronounce 'Groceries' just fine. Everyone I know (from California at least) pronounces it the same way. I say it the same way as you. XO
i didn’t know until reading all these comments that i’m not the only one who says it this way, that’s so comforting ahahah😭🫶
ahaha, so true I am still rocking my 2015 Macbook Pro but I hope to update it soon. I'm waiting to see if they are coming out with a new during their roll out in september/october. I'm so happy that everything is going awesome with writing. I love when characters have their own misconceptions of the other character. Its always fascinating when you get to the other person's POV. Keep it up.
Are you going to show the mood board on the next writing vlog?
that’s awesome!! and tysm :)) i can absolutely show the mood board in my next vlog💗
I’m working on a childhood friends to lovers spring break bxb book! There is a slight love triangle, but only just a slight because it’s obvious who my MC ends up with
oh this sounds so good!🫶
I have this one too! So much faster!
the hard drive?
@@sincerelyvee yes!
@@paytonjletko oh awesome, good to know!! also so glad to have found ur channel, just subscribed!!
@@sincerelyvee oh my gosh! Thank you 🥹💘
my july campnanowrimo goals are to finish predrafting, and to start my first draft
those are great goals!! you’ve got this!
@@sincerelyvee tyyyyyyy😭😭😭😭❤❤
Your videos are so motivating and cozy. If you haven’t, you have to try udon noodles with garlic shrimp so good. I found the recipe on Marion’s Kitchen channel. She had such good recipes.
omg i’ll check it out that sounds so yummy! thank you!!
Loved This New sub! xx 🦋And I was wondering if you could do video on how to write a book as I'm new And I don't where to start thanks! x
🦋
🥰🥰🥰
I pronounce groceries the same way! Maybe it's a Canadian thing?
okay that makes me feel so much better!
Yeah, I didn't hear anything weird when you said "groceries". How else would you say it? I'm in Vancouver and we sound pretty much like the rest of the PNW.
4k words for a chapter seems so long.. I'm trying to get like you 😅
my chapters usually average around 2k words so 4k is on the high end for me honestly😭
Just wondering how many books are works in progress we have heard about the two/three of them but do you have any others
just the three :)
What is the name of the hard drive that you are using?
it’s the sandisk 1tb extreme pro portable ssd! i got it from amazon :)
@@sincerelyvee thanks
0:34 wait how else are you supposed to pronounce groceries 😭
my friends pronounce it grow-ser-ees but i say grow-shr-ies just by habit from growing up saying it that way😭
@@sincerelyveeohhh perhaps that’s the canadian pronunciation? because in the US it’s def growsheries so maybe you picked it up from us 😭
@@sincerelyvee I don't think I know anyone who says "grow-ser-ees". So weird. East Coast/West Coast thing maybe? I'm West Coast.
do you have a spotify account?
i do! it’s very haphazard though so i don’t share it😭
