@@SDHegyes The pep talks one is really good. I really like the workbook too. The kids are loving this adventure. They get so excited and I think it's because there are "no rules" just write. Create characters, create villains...they get to enjoy the creative process.

I tend to go to sleep between 9-10 and wake between 3-4, so I understand that schedule! I'm excited to hear you're still writing and doing things. I can understand writing not being a priority while working and school. I absolutely love Starlink. You didn't have to pay for the equipment?!? Jealous! They made me pay 500 for the equipment before they sent it my way. Worth it though! I love it so much! It's slowed down since I first got it. They put a cap on speeds now that more people are using it, but still better than anything I've had in the past and even better than anything available in my area, which isn't much.
@shannonreadsandwrites
@shannonreadsandwrites 10 месяцев назад
We wanted Starlink but just couldn't put out the upfront cost for the equipment. We actually got a really great deal from AT&T which is what we've had since we moved out here but this new isn't a hardwire like the old...it's an "air" - I don't know but it is screaming fast!

Welcome to Big Book Summer, Shannon! I'm so glad you decided to join the fun :) And I've been meaning to check out your channel, so this was perfect! You've got some great Big Books picked out. My son LOVED the Eragon series when he was a teen. And the author's story is so intriguing - Christopher Paolini wrote it when he was only 16! My son also loved the City of Bones series and he LOVES the Mistborn series and Brandon Sanderson. He's the big fantasy reader in the family. Sounds like some excellent reading plans for the summer - enjoy! And if you decide to do any extra Big Book videos - updates or reviews of Big Books - you can also add that link to the second list on the blog. Hopefully, you'll see some new visitors from this! Nice to "meet" you :)

If you were writing this on Kindle Vella, that cliffhanger would be a great place to end the episode (chapter). A hand reaches up and grabs her. You could even do a choose your own adventure utilizing what they call a poll - 4 choices after every episode. Vella pays. You could put up a chapter a week. :)

I love to buy journals and notebooks, but when I'm doing a first draft of something, I like to use cheap Walmart stitched books. Using ink and crossing out a lot gives me a messy copy, a work space. I'm not keeping these forever.
@shannonreadsandwrites
@shannonreadsandwrites Год назад
I love that messy look and feel! I think that's why I'm going to go back to the Stology notebook because I can add watercolor to the pages and make them crinkly and messy.

Getting back into the routine after #NotYouToo2022 will do your joy in writing a lot of good. Non-writerly creativity always helps (and makes a mess). Have you considered doing a Hybrid Cozy mystery/ Cozy romance? Stay as warm as you can. Happy Holidays.

I think it's great that you're going to have integrated products and do so many different things, writing, gardening, bath products. It could be overwhelming if you try to have unrealistic expectations, but it doesn't sound like that is the case, and if it did happen, you could scale back. :)
