Getting off your phone is likely the best advice I've heard all year.

[KandiWethers]

I really appreciate how much you genuinely want to help.

When they're cute as h*ck /and/ successful? Iconic.

Been thinking about quiting my day job for a while so that I can freelance as a video editor, maybe build a youtube platform, and even teach part-time. But of course, I've been too scared to do it. This was insanely helpful and inspiring. Thanks!

I’m working on transitioning to being self employed because I’m overrun with graphic design work on the side of my boring, low paying office job! Thanks for sharing info about being a creative and self employed!

[carsonallen]

Congrats. I remember the 10-15K days. I personally let every add roll all the way through, which is not something I do for most other channels.

You have been an example to my 20 year old neice, proving she can make a go at full-time self-employment with her writing and editing skills.

Plus, we love "Little Birds" and can't wait for the novel

I honestly want to say this is very very motivational! I’m about to go into a creative writing degree and being an author is my dream so this kind of makes me feel better about my chances? Specially seeing the ways you make income :)))

[kaitlinnfruechte]

[leiskuvaaelamaa]

Thank you for sharing all of this! Super inspirational <3

I was looking for ways to enhance my lackluster writing description and found your page. I appreciate that you use your channel to critique writing and teach at the same time. Thank you.

[dennischanay]

Super happy I have found your channel.

Woah! I think you might be onto something with the week thing. I've been trying to integrate writing in with everything else I am doing but it hasn't been going well at all. A mere hour or two a day isn't enough time for me to get into my writing and when I devote a day out of the week to it the universe almost always finds a way to steal that day from me.

I remember a time when I was able to write a whole draft of a novel vs struggling to finish a short story and that was when I divided my time between weeks

[marietta]

This is super informative! Thanks for all the work you do trying to support the writing community. I've learned a lot from your channel and it's always so fun to watch :)

[jeng]

Do you use a social media suite to keep track of everything? And if so which one?

[ecyinka]

you are all sorts of awesome to be able to pull this off as well as you do
also could you link the skillshare InDesign class you took 🥺

[anna_and_ink]

I know this an old video but I really enjoyed this. I’m new to your channel and I’m so so glad I found you. I really want to get back into writing. Thank you for your tips and motivation. I hope you smashed the goals you had in this video ♥️

[christianvchacon]

Your workshop service has been super helpful! I look forward to turning in the next draft! (It's been a minute, but I haven't ghosted, I swear.)

Edit: It's partly because I've been busy with the group workshop, which has also been super helpful!

[jennifermoss]

I'm really enjoying your channel, thank you :)

[WHATRadioNickSembrat]

I agree with you that the whole hustle culture dynamic is super unhealthy. Leisure is very important.

Here is my question: What would you recommend posting on a newsletter and a website when starting out and still working on your craft?
