I don't know how many times I repeat this video every morning... It is inspiring somehow.. It helped me to write (even it is morning pages only) but for me it is an achievement.. I watched other writing vlogs but this is the most comforting inspiring.. Thank you
Thank you for speaking about this!! I have adhd but want to live a simpler, slower life. I can’t figure out how to since the “want of dopamine” screams out all the time. All good points you made.
As an older person, I have had to twice diagnose and treat my own illnesses myself. Unless your symptoms exactly fit those in a medical book, and there is not a pill that will fix the problem, you must be your own doctor. RU-vid commenters will describe their symptoms and can be very helpful.
An innocent little- stupid crybaby of a kid who didn’t know what she did wrong, who wasn't deserving of anything that happened, who was a doormat for her earlier life, who now died and became an annoying and rude teen who doesn't know any better or how to accept people being nice to accept for their parents. That's who I am.. and y'know what? I may be mean, but I'm also somewhat respectful, I'm not a walking carpet, I'm shown respect, I may have a voice that is unheard, but sometimes that's okay. People don't mess with me that much, and, I think that's worth it. Maybe it's worth it, I don't know, maybe I'll never know, but hey, I'm having some fun, so, theres that i guess?
Julia I find your videos so very comforting! 😊 Thank you for this - I've used Forest before but none of the others - will definitely have to check some out as a fellow neurodivergent balancing 9-5/novel writing!
I really enjoyed this video! I found your channel originally because of your writing ideas, but I love that you can have a channel that's not just solely about writing. I like to see what authors like to do outside of their writing projects as well, what hobbies they have, etc. :)
I'm so glad! I actually originally made this channel for video essays, so it's changed A LOT 😂 Sometimes I'm a little nervous covering multiple topics will hurt the channels growth, but I think it's worth it
Such a fun video! Love it! I'm itching to try an author's writing routine now too. I have two author's in mind at the moment, but I'm also working on several content creations, such as a collaboration video. Speaking of which, would you be up for a collaboration video in the future?
Thank you!! You should definitely try it out. It's been a fun break from my routine. Right now with work, my health and the channel, I'm not able to do much more than film these impromptu videos on the random days I feel up to it, but hopefully things balance out and I can do collabs in the future
200 words a day for 365 days is 73,000 words which is a novel. Consistency is the name of the game, not impressive numbers. Keep at the 200 words and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
Oh this is so great!! I've been looking into morning routines of famous authors but they've mostly all been men, haha. And I LOVE TJR so this is absolutely perfect. Setting a goal, a set amount of words to write a day, is a really good idea. I'll try it out! And ahhh you just unearthed forgotten memories of eating uncrustables, haha.
Im so glad you liked it! Almost all my favorite authors are women, so hopefully I can make more like it in the future and thank you for making me feel less ashamed of my uncrustables breakfast 😂
Absolutely adored this! Love watching your channel grow and all the fun things you’re trying out! It makes me wanna do the same! I really liked your idea of picking tropes I hate to subvert them. I’ll definitely be trying that.
I've considered trying writing routines myself, but I know I struggle with strict routines and structures because I also have (undiagnosed) ADHD. I need room for flexibility and a to-do list hahaha Greta's routine sounds doable for me though. Thanks for sharing!
That's what I really loved about this routine in particular! It wasn't so much a solid structure as much as it is a process for tapping into our inherent creativity. I definitely learned a lot !
I have adhd and your right. The writing advice on here doesn’t work or stick for me. I handwriting but my handwriting is terrible i can read it. So i just write when im in the mood, i have scenes i like or it just sometimes randomly. Its hard for me to stay focus. I achaully wrote 1,309 words today. 😊
Thank you so much and I absolutely do! That said, just because it's possible doesn't mean it's easy. I can be a jealous person, but reflecting and going to therapy has helped me realize that that's something for me to work on, not a flaw in my friendships. It isn't that female friendships are inherently full of jealousy, it's that we're often so used to comparing ourselves, so working on my own self esteem has helped a ton!
@@Thecozychaotic Wonderful! Thank you for your detailed reply, I am willing to work on my self esteem, I just have to meet someone who is also willing. Sending you much love <3
Lately it's been super cold days where I get so brain chilled I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about but it's okay. Greta Gerwig, who's been one of my heroes since 2017 (the year she brought Lady Bird to TIFF), has made initial drafts that are 300+ pages and this is uncouth for a comedy. But the really good part of this process is her limit as a writer saying "any more of this and I'll rip my hair out". And that's where she creates the work as a whole. If that makes sense. And Gerwig makes you think about what tropes annoy you, but for me, MANY MANY tropes annoy me and it's a matter of the context heightening the irritants of some of them. Good storytelling will push past all this, whether you're getting it from Greta Gerwig or Olivia Wilde or Emerald Fennell. They've found the gold, then we find the gold. We are writers.
@@Thecozychaotic My writing plans lately have been totally derailed, but finallly back to it this morning and this was the perfect way to ease back in. Thank you - restarting now to get another couple of sprints in! :)
Very late to the party here. 3:45 is an especially homey-looking ramen. I would've *loved* a dish like that to end 2023 with. Strategic spontaneity is a powerful tool in theatre, which until last year was my main profession. Writing or directing a play, you're doing it for an audience and for their sake you want to try things. To be spontaneous is to make what's on the stage a living, breathing collection of ideas they can absorb. Usually you're telling a story, but sometimes it's good to lead them off on a tangent and explore the emotion between scenes. It's comparable to how a painter uses composition, except in this case you're using actors, sets, lights. Public transit is very, very dependent on the city that surrounds it. So it doesn't surprise me living in Austin TX supplied you with a good experience in that regard.
I just discovered your channel and hello quality?! Hello charisma?! As a fellow writer with adhd, I felt sooo seen with everything you said. You just got a new fan and friend 🥹✨🌷
i'm glad i found your channel! love the vibes and im in austin as well! :) i was wondering if you had a video about how you landed your job at google, and just career talk in general? i walked by the office the other day and instantly daydreamed about working in the city lol i WFH! thanks for making content, i look forward to watching other videos of yours :)
Hi there!! I don't actually. Tbh since I work for RU-vid now I'll probably try to keep the two as separate as possible, but the short story is that I was an intern during college who converted to full time☺️
Your wax seal reminded me of the Ladd Company logo, which assumedly is on the more obscure side of brand recognition. (They produced Blade Runner.) It also reminded me of the house sigil seals in Game of Thrones, when they'd send documents by raven. Have you ever thought about buying a pet raven and having it memorize a carrier route? Thinking smaller and leaving things unsaid tends to fly in the face of literary ambition ... in other words, subtlety causes pain. But I've been working on that in my own writing, and curiously enough, a very spare-of-the-moment side project last weekend freed my subtler side. Less purple prose this time. Happy February to you.
This is so calm and cozy! I'm a very busy part time worker and freelancer so my work days are spent running around my huge city, haha, so I've been drawn to cozy work from home vlogs for the nice chill vibes~ Also loved seeing the chi since I have one too! Love how they just wander around looking for cozy spots all the time bahah
The topic of your novel sounds super interesting, I'd be super curious to read it! Best of luck with the rewrite. Also, your comment about writing THE story vs A story really resonated. (And the pasta looked delicious)
Beautiful video! Your apartment is so nice and clean. I attempted a "take a break" video after a day of cleaning for better footage, but then my kids woke up from their nap🤦♀The video is still going to go up in the future. And I'm going to learn from how you film. Again, beautiful! Thanks for sharing!😊
Thank you so much! I definitely clean/move things around for shots and I film almost exclusively on days when I'm home alone, so the videos don't tell the full story. I just subscribed and am excited to see more of your videos in the future :)
@@Thecozychaotic as long as you like it that’s what matters lol! For the most part, Poetry is poetry to me and I enjoy it lol unless it’s like “I smile. I haven’t done that in a while. Oh, the joy.” Lmaooo
