Just a few things that have been on my mind lately! Somewhat prompted by discussions with fellow authortubers (!!!) and also somewhat by my own struggles as of late. Questions for you & timestamps BELOOOWWW. 0:00 I have so many things to chat about today and also am drinking hotel coffee so I AM READY. 0:35 Creativity & the issue of limited time. 0:53 And if you're like me, your creativity is focused in one area, which means my brain can only take so much! 1:30 Once you DO decide on using your limited creative time on a task, how do you know if it's something you should STICK to?? (ie dedication) 1:47 My personal struggle with this recently and having too many projects! 2:32 One way I see a lot of writers struggle with this (though I don't personally anymore) and a liiiiittle bit of advice if this is you. How do you know if a story is worthwhile or worth pursuing with your limited time? 3:30 Why I don't struggle with that, and an actual example: NaNoWriMo 2017! 4:17 BUT AGAIN, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?!?! 4:41 A list of all my "open" creative projects. SIX Y'ALL! SIX PROJECTS. And what this doesn't count. 5:59 My unique qualifier in terms of timeline and being realistic. 6:15 But here's some advice if your issues are in the short-term. 6:58 Questions for youuuu. 7:12 Bloopers/There's So Many People Freak Out Time. D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S : What do you do when you have too many projects going on at once? How do you decide? Is this an unanswerable question?? What are all of your current "open" creative projects??? So many questions! F I L M E D I N : Santa Maria, California on Day 35 of my 8-month long SuperMegaSolo Road Trip of the U.S. and Canada!
