Hello Molly, thanks so much for this video! I would definitely love more videos about writing and content creating as it's something that I've been wanting to do myself. I've felt so inspired by your KZfaq channel and Substack to start laying the groundwork for a career change that would allow me to live a slower life on my own terms, so any advice you can give I would welcome! Have a great week ☺

I never go outside to walk when its raining - I need to venture out in all weather - just dress appropriately ☔️

Hi Molly, It was fascinating to get an insight into your writing regime & how you schedule writing habits into daily life with purpose. Hope you have enjoyed the mini heatwave, & have a lovely week ahead.🙂

Another fantastic vlog with rainy weather Molly. It's been sunny since the beginning of September in my area with the exception of Wednesday 6th September so we are probably due rain. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💕Molly.

More on writing please Can you give the recipe for your stew please as it looked so yummy

@hippyhighlandliving 10 ай бұрын

Its just one I make up - I cook one red onion, some garlic & a courgette. Then add a tin of chopped toms & a tin of coconut milk for 10 mins. Then a tin of rinsed butters beans (any white bean will do) for 5 mins and its done :)

Hi. I enjoy your videos. As a fellow vegan I really enjoy seeing other people’s recipes….your bean and courgette soup looked wonderful. I look forward to more cookery lessons, and walks in nature with you

Hi Molly, I would be very interested in hearing more about writing. I was in my small woodland during the summer and took my notebook so I could write down all the trees, wild flowers and birds etc I noticed. I am writing about what I see there each season. However I do find that days do tend to go by without me writing even a few lines which is not good. I would like to have more of a routine in order to write more. Thank you and have a lovely week!

@hippyhighlandliving 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing! Yes, having a sense of a routine really does help me :)

I need to buy a portable notebook to write my thoughts. I do have an online diary I post on fairly regularly but there's something more personal and connecting by writing by hand.

@hippyhighlandliving 10 ай бұрын

I love to do a mix of both :)

@katrina3407 10 ай бұрын

Just a warning. I know it is nicer to write in a notebook but many of my notebooks have been destroyed because I carry them everywhere with me in my bag and usually a flask with a drink in, in my bag too. More than one time now I have been devastated because my drink has spilled in my bag, destroying everything and many memories. 😫

Inspiring as-always, Molly... :) I am subscribed to Skillshare and love-it; have been watching the watercolor classes and practicing. I also got your Notion PDF via Etsy and have really been enjoying that as well! This last-weekend, I got organized with all my books; & I set-up the other areas of Notion as well; excellent stuff!! I've always enjoyed writing, but alas, time is never with me... In the Notion habit tracker I've added the things I aim to do each day/week/month; instead of the things I have to do: work/chores, etc. I have: piano, Italian, journal, read, yoga/pilates, cardio, art/creative endevours, geography... anyway, it's been an excellent organizational tool!! 😊

@hippyhighlandliving 10 ай бұрын

Ah Notion really is fantastic! I don't know how I organised my life without it! :)

@nancyhollingworth7729 10 ай бұрын

Another lovely vlog. I'm craving some cooler weather now! Just a couple of things though. Notion is not end to end encrypted and do you think you could do book links to say Waterstone's or another independent book store? Amazon is an awful company.

You make it sound simple with regards to having this as a job on Substack but is it really? More videos may be on your experience? Been writing for years yet the whole driving subscribers in is near impossible.

It is authentic to be honest that you have to earn money to live and you can't work at anything including content creation for free
