    Yes these videos are motivational Kristen! Absolutely loved the self care tips at the beginning since I tend to always forget to take care of myself whenever I’m on a deadline whether that be NaNo, school work, etc. Definitely will be trying to get better at that with these tips. Thanks again so much for all your positivity, for inspiring us, and for just being there when we need you the most. In turn we’re always here for you, cheering you and your books on! 💙

    I love how you did this nano series. Writing is tough and can bring so much to the surface and it was really helpful seeing how you tackling everything as it came up.
    I love your tip about making your writing goals for the next day. I actually am applying this to the way I plan my days and to-do lists. I usually plan my weeks on Sundays when I'm relaxed and ambitious, but usually fall off by Wednesday. By checking in w/ myself at night and planning just the next day allows me to be more realistic and also makes me more psyched for the next day.
    Thanks for all the videos and congrats on your win!

    Congratulations on winning Nano! I have watched every single video and want to say thank you for sharing your life with us and keeping us motivated! I have serious office envy by the way! I won Nano with just over 52k words! My first Nano and my first novel! My emotions were all over the place in November but when I saw that that an experienced author like you had some of the same issues, it helped me not to get discouraged. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I look forward to following more of your journey!

    I am really tempted to try the scents, but in the last years I just couldn't get myself to switch my winter and summer perfume. For winter I have got the Gaultier² (sweet and heavy and soooo cozy) and for the summer Miss Dior (fresh and light).
    It is great to hear that there are others who switch perfumes for the different seasons.

    Congratulations!! Last year I didn't win NaNoWriMo, but I accomplished my goal to get as much written before I ran into a research block, so I felt I won in that sense. I'm hoping to do Camp NaNo next year to bust out the rest of the book. Thanks for your inspiration and all your beauty hacks!

    I will have to try the coconut oil for hair now that we have a water softener. I have done it twice but it was SO hard to get out of my hair. We have extremely hard water and I think that may have been why.

  • @KatSperlingBooks
    @KatSperlingBooks 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video idea! It's easy to forget about self care because there's always more work to do... A self care tip if you want to embrace your natural curls: Try an Olaplex treatment! I heard it works wonders to restore the natural curl pattern (I wouldn't know because my hair is pin straight, but it helped a lot with damage from bleach and removing frizz for me).

    Congratulations! I'm so glad you finiahed on the positive message about progress. I only managed 15k myself in November, but I've been telling people all month that I'm happy with whatever word count means I'm moving forward.
    I would love to see similar vlogs in months where you do revisions too. To see if you still work on a word count or an hourly or page count, and how you keep momentum in a different headspace. Because drafting and revising are so different.
    I also have to ask... I was looking at where you sit compared to where your keyboard is and wondering, fo you ever get sore wrists/arms from that angle? I've been struggling with it myself. I find that if I pull my keyboard closer my wrists hury from the dropped angle, but if I push it back my arms are raised and my shoulders and neck hurt more. Do you have any experience with this, and if so, any tips?

    Congratulations on winning. I didn't participate this year, unfortunately. Between work and a full time class schedule with a professor from hell, there wasn't enough time in the day to dedicate to the process. Which I have mixed feelings about, but I know I made the right decision for me to sit this one out this year.
