Process

I’m doing my best to create the creative life that I want for myself, but it’s been tough while moving. I’m trying to give myself some grace but also not remain complacent. Also tough because I’m not pushing myself to my limits the way I may have before I had a baby. I have to be so aware of burnout now because I need to be able to be there for my son. He needs me so much so my priorities are not what they were per-babe and I’ve gotta give myself permission to be okay with that. It is okay.

So I have to have some goals for myself that are attainable that will keep me motivated. This past week I’ve filmed a few videos to just try and get in the groove of filming because not only do I want to document my process here, but I want a video diary of sorts. But I’m so proud of myself for doing that! Small steps, but steps nonetheless!

I watch so much YouTube and recently I’ve added watching writers on YT and their processes and I love it so, so much. Samantha Shannon (author of The Bone Season) has a blog where she was pretty much documenting the process of her editing and publishing some of The Bone Season and I LOVED it sooo much and so here I am.

I hope this is helpful to someone. I think it will be extremely helpful for me and I hope that… well, I hope all the things happen for all of us! Sending love.
