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 ☺️

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)!

Thanks for sharing the realness! I think everyone goes through periods similar to this and it’s helpful to know you’re not alone.

I hope you get well soon. I get ill too, like a moth ago. I understood that my body needs to rest. Good luck !

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 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!

How is your dissertation going ?

I have a folder with my first and only completed novel in it, too! 100-something handwritten pages of stained looseleaf paper. lol.

We missed you on you tube!! Your videos are so motivating 🤍

Miss your videos !

congrats！！

So you wrote a novel while working on your PhD and while having a RUclips channel? And I am here telling myself that I will continue with writing once I finish my master's thesis while the RUclips channel is a wish I plan to work on one day. I mean the second one. I have given up on my first a year and a half ago. OK, I can do it. I can finish my thesis by the end of the summer and defend it before the classes start in the next school year. Then I will be free of guilt for following up with my passions because there will be no "I need to study instead." demon following me around. Just... There is so much resistance. It is making my life much harder than it needs to be.

I love how simple you made the outline look. Would love to see a video on how that actually looks in practice and how you you go about creating it. I’ve just finished outlining my first book and have really struggled with organising my ideas, so that would be really helpful 😊. Thanks, Adele

Ive only just discovered you & I love your vlogs! I find them so centering and inspiring, I love the way you discuss your work & process. Would you be open to share where you bought your hourglass? I cant seem to find any online

Wohoo

thanks for your videos, they make me feel less lonely navigating my bachelor's thesis

even though i'm not pursuing a Ph.D yet, this is SO relatable. Love your vibe.

Your meals look delicious! Could you do a vlog on the challenges you experienced while in your final year ?

New subscriber!!! ❤ love this vlog

Finally, a proper overview of this book. Eloquently spoken and I'm so jealous you got it for free. I've been so close to pulling the trigger many times, but (and don't laugh)...can you actually read it? Her handwriting looks illegible!

Yay congratulations!

This is soo funny, thank you for sharing your journey. It is soo inspiring❤❤

Looooove it❤😂😂

Is this Andorra? It’s so beautiful and peaceful ❤

Congratulations! Finishing a book is such a big deal and I'm so happy for you!

Thank you for incorporating our track! 🎻

One strategy that I have is trying to just write 500 words, they can be terrible but having them out of my body helps along with writing a "zero draft", it feels like intimidating than a first draft and on one sees it but me.

Thank you for sharing (found you here via tiktok)! I'm also working on my dissertation and this video felt so grounding for me, love it!

Can you do a tour of your computer setup or list what you have?? I love it and would love to have something comparable for a WFH setup! ❤

You are doing amazing! Keep going❤

First of all, HORSE! 💙💙💙💙 Second, I know the feeling of bad habits. The only way for me to really rest is when the universe forces me to. At first, I don't like the feeling of resting. But after a few hours into it, I'm always more than thankful for it. You're doing a great job! The sceneries are beautiful ^^ don't forget your breaks 💙💙💙💙

I'm a U of I alum and I've never seen some of the topography you have apparently discovered 😂

Your videos are always so honest and as a fellow PhD student I appreciate that so much! Thank you for sharing your journey and being such an inspiration!

what’s the bookstand you are using at your computer desk ? it looks so sturdy 😮

Great video! I have two quick questions. First, where did you get the see-through cup? It's beautiful. Second, what is the probability that in the future I share a short story, maximum 15 pages, and you provide minor feedback whenever you have the time? Thanks!

11k a month sounds totally doable! I'm glad the mystical algorithm suggested your channel; I write romance, too. Looking forward to following your journey with both the creative and academic writing projects 🥰

Yes! How do you bind your dissertation? I tried to look for similar materials but didn't find any.

where can we read it

You give me a wonderful idea. I'm writing three fics and i have a good idea for a novel. But i don't know how start so if a writing by hand can help. Tipping give me lazziness.

I think you should give yourself more credit for the NaNoWriMo novel. It's not that you didn't finish it - you finished a first draft of it, and this next stage is the continuation of that creative process that you wouldn't be at had you not done it. You learn a lot by finishing a draft and there's good in realizing what worked and what didn't. In that respect it sounds like a very successful endeavor

you got this carson!!! i just put aside a project i was drafting to focus on another one, so your optimism to stick to it is very inspirational for me right now lol

are you studying in Europe? that looks like the Alps!

You are great!

Excellent

How did you spiral bond your diss??

this is probably one of my favourite PhD journey blog. i am in the humanities as well and this helpful

I'm so envious of your copy of Paradise Lost!! This poem is what led me down my path of study as well, though I took a slightly different route. I am now studying the intellectual history of medieval Christian mythology. Milton was a gateway drug to Dante. 🤣 I'm so glad you made it over to RUclips! I'm really enjoying your content!

The natural is incredibly mentally pleasant, and I appreciate you sharing your PhD journey. I just finished my PhD at the end of last year, and focusing on writing and revising was always a difficult task.

How do you organize your PhD notes from readings you’ve done? I saw synopses? Was that just in word?
