Hi friends! Well, with a lucky day off of my full time job, I got to play pretend for a day. And what did I want to pretend to be? A full time writer of course! I hope you guys enjoy this vlog, it's got my reflections on running the Chicago Marathon, a full mental break down over my manuscript, and just about everything in between. Love you all!

Full-time author here! I pretty much always write at home, but I've been thinking more about going out to libraries/cafes recently just because it looks fun... I usually don't have problems focusing at home, especially if I have a playlist to get me in the vibes of the story, but it can be a lot more difficult if my partner is here *not* working because I want to hang out instead of write. 😂Congratulations on the marathon!!

8:39 I cosplayed as a full time writer this summer (aka I was unemployed 😍) and I set up a desk in my room as my writing area which I LOVED. On the days I felt restless/unfocused, I went to a local library that didn’t have WiFi so I was forced to just draft 😅

@CodyTheWriter 3 дня назад

Ande! I relate SO much to your feelings surrounding revisions. I hit this exact moment before starting draft three of GWC where I was worried that all the changes I planned to make wouldn't improve the story and, in the end, it would all be a waste of time. I had to scrap and redraft over 2/3 of my book, and, while it was BRUTAL, the story has improved exponentially! You DO have the skills and the tools to do this. And the more you work on this story, the better a writer you will become. I have all the faith in the world in you, and as someone on the other side of a large redraft, I am here to tell you to trust your gut! The fact that you continue to show up for yourself and your story on the hard days... THAT is what makes a true writer. You got this, friend! :)

Why is running so popular in the writing community?! (Asking as a writer and runner.) I LOVE IT!

@andesears 2 дня назад

I have no idea!! I got into it last year, and it kinda just floated into this year too! I like getting all my steps in after sitting down all day haha that’s for sure! Thanks for watching!!🫶🏼

@authorpoppyleanne 2 дня назад

@@andesears Yes!!! That makes sense. I find if I’m struggling to write, it’s nice to just leave the desk and run. Helps to clear the mind, and then I don’t feel bad for not writing because I’m running instead. Most times it helps me to write later that same day. It’s so helpful 😭

@jaswriting 2 дня назад

Love this vlog sm! And dang congrats on finishing a marathon!? That’s huge accomplishment! Also, love your transparency on the revision- as a baby writer myself I can honestly relate to the, I guess, lack of skill and I hate that I see that inexperience now that I am in the revision process as well. Talking to a trusted friend seems to help so I’m glad that helped you get out of a rut! 🌲

Hey, Ande! 🌲 I'm not a full-time author (maybe part-timeish 🤷‍♀) but I loved watching your process and hearing you speak so transparently about your difficulties with your draft. I have definitely been there. I also love distance running. I have done a few half-marathons, but midway into training for a marathon I found out I was pregnant and life was already crazy enough 🤣. I think we might have a lot in common and I would love to collab with you in the future. I can't wait to see more of this WIP.

You know, you might also have just been too physically drained to have a clear mind for being creative. Whatever it was, I can relate to the swirling, existential dread of just not being good at writing. Thanks for sharing your struggles. Don't feel too bad about rewriting drafts! I 100% rewrote my first book twice! The first time wasn't so painful, but the second time made me want to give up because it was all because I made one change to the story. It ended up being worth it though. 🌲

Congrats on completing the marathon! I'd literally die, so I'm always impressed by those that are athletically blessed, lol! In regards to having a difficult writing session, do you think any of it had to do with how hard your body had been pushed the day before? I just wonder if it created a domino effect that then made your emotions/mental health harder to maintain? Anyway, just find that interesting! ☺ I super enjoyed the writing sprint, hope you guys do another one soon! 🌲

@andesears 3 дня назад

@@lendralit1174 Thank you!!! It was actually so fun and went so well, so I’m not sure if the tough writing day had anything to do with the marathon or not, but it’s possible! Thank you for watching!♥️♥️

@AdamFishkin 3 дня назад

In making my own hours, and having my own office in the apartment, I suppose I do "lock in" the way you're describing. But circumstances shift from day to day. Burnouts will happen more often than non-writers will realize. It's very abstract to them because they'll think it's "writer's block" ... which is mysticism. We have a job, same as everyone else, and everyone has the moment at work when they question what they're doing.

@andesears 2 дня назад

I can totally relate that taking a few days away from your work, especially as a pantser. It can be difficult to dive back in once you’ve lost your flow, even if diving back in is all you want to do! You can do it though! Take all the time you need and it will come back to you. Thanks for watching, I’ll be sure to update soon!
