I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, joy! that kind of loss, especially at such a young age, is so significant. you are so strong! grief is so complicated and very much non-linear and writing can sometimes really help make sense of that which defies reason or explanation 🫶🏻 really loved watching your process unfold here and so impressed with how much you've already accomplished! 📚
@writeymaile
you describing your messy process makes me feel so seen. "this is me trying to he structured, believe it or not" ME

Going through an entire rewrite of a draft one myself! It is interesting to see the drastic changes between a draft one and a draft two. How you can spit out a whole book, love it, take time away and come back and read it then renew it and end up only keeping part of it, sometimes none of it and create a whole new story from it, lol. But it is funny how you have to write that first draft in order to get to the true story behind it! 😂 i def relate with losing a parent and not being able to close some open ends but learning to cope with it and accepting that it is what it is but also influencing my writing. Great vlog!
@AriBPK
i'm so sorry about your dad, joy 💕all of that grief and love will come out in your writing and i'm sure will be so beautiful! i loved this vlog, you're not alone in wanting to do five million things all at once - you got this!

I’m so sorry about your dad Joy ♥️ I hate that you had to go through a loss like that at such a young age. I’m sure channeling that experience into your writing will result in a very moving story. Also, I love that you likened writing to assembling a puzzle as you’re designing it. That analogy is so spot on! Great vlog once again!
@JadeJuniiper
I completely relate to needing to just talk it out and tell someone. Not necessarily getting a response back, just saying the insanity (or lack of) out loud knowing someone will hear it. ✨
@C.F.Claire
So sorry about your dad. I think there is something so cathartic about incorporating personal grief and struggles into the writing and I hope you get to experience that ❤ I super relate to basically everything you're talking about, especially that feeling of over-committing when you're a tired mom. 😅 loved hearing how you're writing process is evolving! Both your projects sound so interesting. Love me some fantasy flavored with religion 👀 📝Last book I read was Stars Die by Jenny Schwartz.
@alystew
I'm so sorry about your dad ❤ A loss like that so young must be so hard. As someone who doesn't outline and drafts out of order, that puzzle analogy hits HARD lol 📚 The last book I read was Deep End !
@JadeJuniiper
I’m sorry to hear about your dad ♥️ and understand grappling with death. You explained this so eloquent and succinctly. It was really nice actually. Which I’m sure will come through in your writing. Ok! Settling into the vlog now. I’m barely 10 min in and that’s not a great comment ratio 😂
@jaswriting
Sameee!! Something about the sun and summer that makes me wanna do it all 😂 I want to start streaming again, I want to go hiking every week, get pumped at rewriting! But alas, I have one body and this body is not getting any younger and gets tired easily 🫠 but I just embrace the chaos and go with the flow lol
@AshDaniWrites
I'm so sorry about your dad ❤ I loved the puzzle analogy! 📚 The last book I read was Morbidly Yours!!
@charleeraewrites
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I haven't had to experience that kind of loss, but I have close friends who have and the way it can creep back up on you even years later seems like it can be a lot. Loved the vlog. Last book I read (I listened on Audible) was A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. 📚
@AliOnAuthortube

@Grace-g5_3
One day late!watching your videos have given me the inspriation to write.I hope your book is a seccess!
@WheresMyTea
I have no help in the "I want to do all the things" department, I have the same problem 😅 📚 The last book I finished was the 3rd Mistborn book (I forget the title).
@christinawhisler
