July Writing Vlog 📖 Navigating Writing Projects Amid Setbacks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- It’s been a while since I’ve posted a writing vlog of any kind - so here’s a short and somewhat fragmented update on what this past month of work has looked like for me.
I like to talk about the highs and lows of the writing process with you all, and unfortunately, lately the highs have been infrequent and the lows have involved last-minute international travel, grief, and sickness… I always find value in narrating my writing process and hope that others find value in watching me navigate it, so I decided to still share this vlog despite it being something of a departure from my usual content!
I’ll be back soon with more discussions of dissertation writing and creative writing - I’m looking forward to sharing about the novel-writing course I’m taking through Reedsy as an affiliate partner, and what are hopefully the final months of my dissertation-writing journey!
Remember to put your health and happiness before your work, and to take breaks before your body decides to take one for you.
Here’s hoping your July was better than mine 🤍
I'm looking forward to making more videos soon - let me know what kind of content you'd be interested in watching!
Straightforward academic writing process vlogs? Details of the novel-writing class I'm taking? Sharing my work-from home lunches and routines? Let me know what kinds of videos you find interesting, or what questions you have, below!
Everything! 💫
just found your channel and im also a phd student (albeit in a completely different topic) so all things PhD would be super interesting to me!
I love your posts so I'll just be happy to see more from you! I appreciate that you shared some of the struggles in this vlog because I've definitely had personal stuff intruding into my work life. It's nice to be reminded that everything comes in seasons and this too shall pass. Hope you're feeling better!
Sending so much love!! Would love dissertation writing tips/advice in general
Thanks for sharing the real stuff. It helps us feel like we are not alone. My grandmother passed a few weeks ago and I've been having a hard time getting back into my routine since then. I was doing so well balancing everything (work, PhD, research, family, exercise, etc.) and now I feel like I'm just barely treading water.
I'm so sorry you're going through this too, it's so destabilizing... I hope you're able to take some time for yourself and make your way back to a sense of balance
@@GlutenbergBible Same to you!!
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost someone recently. This last semester, I lost my grandmother, too. And I felt so alone in not being able to balance everything (similar to you - work, PhD, manuscripts, etc.), like I was failing her. But take time for yourself. And know that the work will be there. Jumping right back into work without more than a 3 day breather finally caught up to me. grieving takes time (and though it doesn’t ever fully go away, you’ll have moments of balance again 🫶🏽)
@@Sierra_teacher Thank you. That means a lot. It really does help knowing I'm not alone in my struggle. And I'm glad you found your footing.
Thanks for sharing the realness! I think everyone goes through periods similar to this and it’s helpful to know you’re not alone.
Sorry for your loss. Hope August will be an incredibly good month for you. Thanks for coming back to UA-cam
Your video really supported and comforted me as a person going through a difficult period and also finalising a thesis at the same time. Hope you feel better now (in all possible senses)!
I'm sorry you're going through something similar - good luck working through that thesis, I hope things stabilize for you as well!
It’s important to show the struggles I think. Life isn’t always perfect and it ok.
It’s just a cycle, the ebbs and flows, just know it will be good again ☺️. Hope you feel better soon ☺️
I hope you get well soon. I get ill too, like a moth ago. I understood that my body needs to rest. Good luck !
