Bethany, my heart broke for you a little because you have to squeeze writing in between baby and dishes! So a reminder that creative thinking/dreaming also happens when doing the dishes, and hanging out the wash, the book is always forming. Also setting the timer for 10 minutes and writing fast is a good use of snatched time. Glad I found your vlogs. You are a hero (heroine) to many already.

My books are epic fantasy and tend to run 100k or so words, so take some time to draft. I like that you're setting "realistic" goals. I'm trying that for my current work and giving myself this quarter. Having a strong outline and dividing scenes up by weeks, I think I can draft book 3 this quarter. So far, I've stayed on track! Hoping I've been realistic, too. Good luck with tackling your book 3 :)

having accountability to actually have discipline and follow through on writing goals is precisely what I love about my writing group.

Figuring out a schedule for your current life is so hard! I've found that different seasons affect my motivation and creativity and that I have to approach each book differently. Good job setting reasonable goals!

Way to go!! You're staying dedicated to writing while juggling a baby and all the things!! I have no excuses.

You gotta do what works for you! And vlogging is super working for you!! Having a completed book by May 31st sounds like such a crazy goal but you've set it up so that you've done all the legwork, all you gotta do is write it out. You're gonna kill it! I can't wait for more vlogs on this journey!

I loved watching this! It can be so hard as a parent to set realistic goals, but also so important. You're doing AMAZING. And you've inspired me to actually try and map out my May - I've always wanted to, but my life is so changeable that I always worry I'll just throw it out the window. My kids are all older, but I home school so there is always a lot going on. Good luck for May!

Hi - I just stumbled across this video and you have inspired this mama SO MUCH! Such amazing hints and tips for writing with a baby; my boy is 5 months old and I MISS writing. Thank you so much for sharing and for giving me the kick I need to take responsibility for making time for my own creativity and schedule.

I run a farm and I am a real estate agent. My schedule gets completely wrecked on a daily basis (no consistency). I can't write effectively in the evening. And I don't do well with interruptions and it takes a solid 30 minutes to settle into a writing groove. So working on getting some sort of process going. At the moment I think the only way I can do it is to get up at 4am.

I wish you the best of luck on getting that book started! I really like how you track your writing time. I feel like I'm always just trying to find the time to write that when I have the time, I plunge into it without tracking anything, but your method could be useful for me to see how long it actually takes to write a book. Thanks so much for sharing!

@jaimecole4656 2 жыл бұрын

I'll be honest, at first I thought tracking my word count, especially with stickers, wasn't something I was interested in, but I started doing it, and it's been very encouraging to watch it mount up. :)

Please know that many famous authors, living and dead, count/counted words written every day. Graham Greene would write exactly five hundred words every day of his life. Not 499, not 501, but exactly 500. He'd stop in the middle of sentences.
