I don't do this often but I audibly went "awww" at the digging into the Bible with your husband at breakfast, I love that and I'm glad I found this channel! God Bless
Absolutely Loovvveee that you've intentionally scheduled time for Ben and walking with Amy. Such a reminder for me that making time for valuable relationships is important even as you I build myself. Thank you so much for sharing this. I found it realistic, relatable and encouraging.
Loved this!!! So cool to see how you manage your time. My biggest fear when I eventually work for myself is getting distracted and not getting anything done throughout the day because of lack of structure, but I love how much structure you've put into your day.
I'm so glad it was helpful Mandi!! It's taken me a while to figure out how to stay on task and really make substantial progress, really qualifying where my time is going, but these things have helped me so much! And I TOTALLY think you could do it! When you get to that point, let me know! I can help you set some things up! :D
This is one of best day in the life author vlogs I have ever seen!!!! Thank you for filming this!!! It feels like an organizing author course!!! I could watch this over and over again and each time learn something new! Seriously the detailed footage of organizing your day is incredible!!!!
This is so inspiring! Thank you for walking us through your day. It was eye-opening to see how you run your business/write full-time. Currently, I'm a full-time copywriter, but I want to publish my first fiction book by June of next year and take the plunge into writing fiction full-time! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Awwww thanks so much Leilani!! Doing this full time is definitely A LOT so I'm glad I could share with you all! Do you do vlogs on your channel as well??
You do?? Yay!! I thought I was so weird for doing it haha And yay!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Amanda!! Definitely thinking I'll do some more vlogs in the future. Just gotta figure out what things I'd focus on so if you have any ideas of what you'd like to see more of in my vlogs, totally let me know!
@@AuthorBrittanyWang I've always thought I was weird for doing it too hahahaha. So funny. I'll think on what vlogs I'd love to see from you. Maybe something during Camp Nano! :)
Please do more vlogs! I love when authors do DITL vlogs. Also enjoyed seeing how organized and on top of things you are. Definitely helps with structure and organization. I don’t know if you already follow this TH-camr but seeing the calendar blocking reminded me of Amy Landino of AmyTV on YT. I think you would like her channel and organization tips. 😄
This was excellent. I am by no means a planner type and my anxiety would go into overdrive if I tried. But I do have a decent system going right now that is flexible and works around me raising my five girls which includes a set of triplets. I focus on one platform a day and then weave writing on my novel into those days. So far so good. But I did learn some good things to think of and try with this video so thanks!
Loved this vlog! I feel like I need to set up my b-roll game while watching this. I love how organized you are while hustling like a boss. Would love to see more :0)
I think I'll look into this Google Calendar option! I do keep a bullet journal and have several other planners on the side because I like to work things out by hand, but when plans change, it gets so messy to move things around 😅 This way looks so clean! And I love the ability to color code! Wonderful video 💞
I had a feeling you are a Christian even though I've only watched a few of your vids. It was great to see you starting your day in the Word! Your clean and supportive content really shines your light! Thank you :)
I love how you've used the checklist option on the google calendar. I'm completely nerding out over the organization. It's my love language. Hahaahahah And its reminding me that I need to get some time to organize and update my own calendar
I usually try to stretch every 1 to 2 hours while I write. TH-cam has tons of 5 minute workouts that have helped me not get stiff muscles during those long hours
This was great. I am so encouraged by this as you mention taking time at the beginning of the day to honor God and how you track your day but life can happen. I would like to connect with you on how you manage to write fantasy and still keep it God honoring. My novel has some stuff in it that are definitely against the Bible and need to take that out since I want to start working on it again after years of it sitting untouched. I am encouraged to add more to my google calendar and try to get a set schedule set for myself for working on my books. I already keep a color coded calendar for my appointments, I just have to add more to schedule out my life. Thank you. I really enjoyed this video.
YAY! I'm so glad seeing my process could help you and give you some ideas, Martin!! We can definitely talk more about fantasy and incorporating faith! I'll message you on Patreon!
hi im sam from Malaysia,im a write my novel in home but still in coming to end but don't still at English version because I not in writer group and scare to all know im witer book. I just see you vlog make me know how to be witer like you..so happy to see you video..
Aw thank you, Lucy!! Glad to meet another sister-in-Christ & You are totally NOT alone! ❤️ i think a lot of us kind of live in “hiding”, sometimes it’s intimidating to be open about because so many people have wrong ideas about what a Christian really is. But Jesus is unashamed of me and the reason I am who I am, so I gotta unashamed for him! 🙌
I always WANT to be this organized. The idea of it has such appeal to me. I fail. Every time. Seeing all this organization makes me happy and sad at the same time, lol
I think I just had an epiphany. I do a lot of planning, but dont consider what I need to set up and do, so I can accomplish my goals. Like food prep so I dont spend hours cooking when I could pop it into oven and go. Etc.
What do you do when something interrupts your day? Like a painful burn from cooking that needs to be iced for hours or a major sad? Do you work through the pain to stay on track or do you give yourself a sick day? And how does that impact the rest or your week's work load?
Great questions! During and at the end of the vlog I talk a bit about this but it really depends I think. Sometimes I push through but other times I need to give myself grace and just switch some things around to do another time. Either way, i'm sure to keep track of my time so I can make sure to get to what I need to. I hope that helps!
So glad that I have found you. I have an Instagram poetry page with 8,764 followers and I would like to expand my reach. I also intend to start writing short stories and eventually full length novels. Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated.

I'm so late in responding to videos, sorry Brooke!! XD But thank you!!! This vlog was a lot of fun to put together!
Absolutely loved this video! You’re a great vlogger. And it definitely makes me appreciate the creative entrepreneur life so much more.
Awwww thanks so much Leilani!! Doing this full time is definitely A LOT so I'm glad I could share with you all! Do you do vlogs on your channel as well??
I love day in the life/scheduling videos like this!
Yay! I hope to do more in the future for sure!!
I love these kind of in-depth vlogs. So relaxing and motivating.
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed it Lainey!!!
Thanks, this is just the kind of bts author life video I was looking for!
I enjoyed this vlog so much! I think it really helps show just how much authorpreneurs do in a day!!
So glad you liked it Emma!! It's definitely a "full time" gig, but so fun!!
I LOVE to read and listen to the audio at the same time. :) This vlog was so fun to watch! Hope you'll record and share more vlogs in the future.

I listen to audio while reading too haha! Helps me so much with concentration! And it's SO fun to feel like someone is reading the book for you!

Yes!! Amy's videos were the first to help me understand time/calendar blocking! Sooooo good!

Really enjoyed this. Would love to see more
I loved this 2-days in the life vlog! Ha ha. Thanks for being so transparent!
So sorry for the late response Holly but thank you!!! I'd love to see more vlogs from you too!

Thanks so much Zar!! Let me know how your google cal and bullet journal stuff goes!!
That hack for alphabetical notes in Evernote is pretty genius
Haha thanks Rebecca!! I can't believe they don't let you organize the notes any other way but it works for me for now! :D

ooooh! I have to look up these videos now!!! :D
Loved this vid! You deserve way more subscribers
awwwww, thank you Wilma!!
wow you're so organised!
Haha, thank you! It definitely helps :)
This was so cool. And yes Author Website Bootcamp is taking sooo much time. But I love it. -sondae
Awww thanks so much for saying that Sondae!! Love having you a part of the boot camp and so glad you liked this vlog!!
Hi and thanks for sharing. Why do you need trello if you are using google calendar to schedule your week?
Loved this vlog 😍
Thanks so much Alison!!

Thank you for being open about your relationship with God. It's encouraging to know I'm not the only Christian left on the internet. 😂🥰

Not snark. An honest question. How do you reconcile your religious beliefs with NaNoWriMo's promotion of extremist politics?
