AAAAH! The Sekie Story got published!!! I suppose we should start calling it 'The Mercy of Sea Foam', bc that is its name. You might remember me writing this story in this vlog, way back in January: th-cam.com/video/N8TWRxboYLo/w-d-xo.html I'm so happy it got published. I'm really proud of it 😭 If you'd like to pick up a copy of the magazine it was published in, there's a link in my description. Take care, guys 💛
Congratulations for getting your short story published 🥳 you’re so inspiring Christy~~ I love you very much! thank you for sharing your life with us 💞 you truly makes the world a better place (at least for me) ☀️ you inspired me to create peaceful content and I think it’s the best decision I’ve ever made~ a decision that I made for myself, NOT for my parents or anyone else
I think for the problem of losing time you should get a beautiful loud old-fashioned clock (a small mantel clock or a big cuckoo clock) that strikes every hour, or half-hour. You can look up from your work, move around, drink water, and not lose track of time. The rule is you can't turn it off before bedtime no matter how annoying it gets. Mine is especially annoying when it strikes 11 times at 11 o'clock so I try to remember to turn it off earlier at 9 or 10, and immediately start getting ready for bed where I read a bit before sleeping. And it's okay to start working late even if you do manage to get up early every morning (as long as you're getting enough sleep). Lastly, congrats for the story! And I loved that little painting vlog!❤️
I totally get the part where you're talking about learning not to feel guilty about not starting early in the morning. I found when I went on my own working for myself, journey that my circadian rhythm just wasn't the same naturally, as I had to force it to be when I worked on other people's time. It does take time to learn that it's ok not to start first thing in the morning. I personally have learned I function best when I allow myself to sleep during the day and work at night instead. Congrats on being published!
Hi Christy, I realize this video is almost 1.5 years old, but I wanted to say congrats on getting published! As a fellow aspiring author, I understand the frustrations of rejection and can't imagine the immense joy and sense of accomplishment you felt at learning you were going to be published. Wishing you tons more success! And your videos are really wonderful and inspirational. Thank for you them.
I've been struggling with the same thing schedule/circadian rhythm-wise! I end up getting up around 10 or 11am and feeling slow and sluggish most of the day, not able to get a ton done productively, until the evening when I suddenly feel like I'm actually waking up for the first time and then I can power out hours of productive work until 2am before crashing. Not sure how to fix it, but glad to know I'm not alone in this!
Congrats on your short story getting published. I’ve read the two fiction stories on your website a few times and I absolutely adore them. You’re a wonderful writer.😺😍
Congratulations on your story being published. Oh my gosh rent inspections were really the main motivator that made me save up and buy my house, but on the other hand they do teach you to keep your house clean :) don't be too harsh on yourself regarding balancing your time, it really just shows how degrading to the mind and body 40 hour work weeks are.
Tolkien's "On Fairy Stories" can be found in a book called Tree & Leaf that combines his essay with a poem and a couple other pieces. One of my favorite books! :)
Congrats on getting your story published!!! Also I totally feel you about getting paint everywhere. One time I went to get a sandwich after my painting class and the guy at the counter was like, "Are you ok? Do you need me to call someone?" and I was like, What are you talking about? Turns out I had red paint on my forehead and in my hair.
Voiceworks is great, I tried applying for an internship there but didn't get in due to me turning 25 like the week it starts. Congratulations! It feels so good to have your work published (I'm still proud of my recent work, even if it's not widely findable).
You are the most talented, inspiring human bean! Thank you so much for always sharing all the wonderful life updates. We love you so so much! You make our lives better by existing. Go celebrate the heck out of yourself today and every day, Christy! All the love and joy in the world.
Thank you for the peaceful vlog. Would love to see more of your vlogs which incorporate your painting from sketching at the beginning. If you like the taste of ginger, you can try to boil thin ginger slices with brown sugar. It will be a perfect warm drink for winter.
Congratulations on getting your story published!!!!! I love how it started, and want to see where it goes. I’m going to get the digital version as I’m not sure what it would cost to ship from Australia to the US.
I'm so happy for you Christy, congratulations on getting your short story published I love watching your vlogs because they inspire and motivate me in such a good way thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
This might be an odd thing to comment on, but I enjoy the tone of your voice when you spoke about Squarespace better than when you've done so previously. It just felt a little more "lighthearted" and fun, if that makes any sense! :) Also, congratulations on the short story!
Ooh, had to pause the video and comment when I saw that you're reading Fifty Sounds! I recently read it and loved it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it :)
Hi Christy, I love your channel so much, and I thank you , because of your books video, you got me out of a reading block. I haven't seen all your videos, but have you read Lisa See's novels ? She seems to be underrated although she is quite a good writer. Snow flower and the secret fan, and Peony in love are amazing. Take care.
In Australia, if you're renting, every 3-4 months your real estate agent will come and inspect your apartment/house on behalf of the landlord to make sure there are no scratches on the walls or neglect in cleanliness or damage of any kind. They give you a generic list of things to clean prior to them coming (you have to clean out the exhaust fans and aircon, scrub the oven, etc.) We didn't have to do inspections when we lived in Japan so I wondered if they don't have them in other countries....... apparently not hahaahah

This video is super helpful 😊💛 th-cam.com/video/blehVIDyuXk/w-d-xo.html
What is a house inspection?! Why do you have that?
In Australia, if you're renting, every 3-4 months your real estate agent will come and inspect your apartment/house on behalf of the landlord to make sure there are no scratches on the walls or neglect in cleanliness or damage of any kind. They give you a generic list of things to clean prior to them coming (you have to clean out the exhaust fans and aircon, scrub the oven, etc.) We didn't have to do inspections when we lived in Japan so I wondered if they don't have them in other countries....... apparently not hahaahah
@@christy-anne-jones
Well, here in Israel we definitely don't have it.... I wish we had some rent control laws....
Winter????
I live in the Southern Hemisphere! 😊
@@christy-anne-jones Oh!!! Thankyou for replying...
