thanks for keeping me company on a long walk, love the lengthy videos! i'm sorry about jade's extreme challenges, thank you for taking her seriously and doing what you can for her. i dont know if i would have the fortitude. happy for the bunny love and the advances in your story! glad to see you trying different things (voice notes, writing in notebooks) to break through that wall
Scrivener tip! Highly recommend using the Snapshot function to save an earlier version of a scene or chapter. Apparently the shortcut on Mac is command-5 but I normally just use the little camera icon in the inspector tab where you can add notes. You can also compare versions, restore etc, it’s fantastic!
Thanks! Teddy is a super chill bun, but this Mossy gal is HYPER haha! She's already chewed a hole in the mat, so I need to get her more toys to dig at instead.
Love the long video! My last book’s chapters are all in between 2.5-4k, and I totally relate with procrastinating this week! Definitely get some irrigation installed, it will be a life saver for plants here in texas (gardener here 👩🌾) but if they are charging you crazy amount to add a zone, you can install one from a hose connector with a timer.
The bunnies are so cute. I love their pen. Sorry to hear about the probs with Jade. In one video you mentioned she was special needs but didn’t know what her issues are.
Yeah, she just has all the issues. A lot of them could be lived with if they can’t be fixed, but the aggression is super concerning (obviously). Wish us luck!!
Love the video! I think there is just something in the air, because procrastination has been plaguing my house BAD for the past couple weeks. I have been scheduling live writing sprints to literally force myself to open my scrivener file and write lol.
Not me maxing out a chapter length at 11K words. 👀 Though that's more an issue of not ending and starting a new chapter 😄than the material supporting it.
Haha, my longest chapter is 8,347 words! I guess I could arbitrarily break it up, but the chapter following would be a continuation of the same event anyway. I've seen that in books, though, so maybe that's a possible revision to throw in there, just to give the reader a psychological "rest." Having a poopie day, not much motivation to edit anything. I realized that maybe some of the events in Part 3 and Part 4 could work better if MIXED, or interspersed. I might devise a "working" doc that merges the two and see what it looks like. Otherwise, it's all one kind of event in Part 3, and then all of another kind of event in Part 4. Blaaah! Plus Dad could not recall what Parts 1 and 2 were about (he only finished them last week), and felt at sea beginning to read over Part 3. I think I need to find someone else to give me feedback (no, not you, you are too busy!).
WOW that's a doozy of a chapter, haha! I think the longest one I've ever done across any project was around 6k? Dad is really the best beta reader out there, huh? 😂

This was such a nice video to chill to while I'm kinda all over the place. Hope the bunnies settle in great! ❤

Thanks! Yeah, we gotta get that procrastination sensation outta here. Ain't nobody got time for that!!

He hands it back to me with spelling stuff & sections outlined in red as "wordy." Not exactly what I was hoping for. 🙄
not me calling the local police department and asking them about hostage negotiation practices for research purposes. . .
This is totally reasonable. Straight to the source 😂
Where did you get your mouse/ keyboard stand?
It was from Amazon, just a cheap one. I don't see this particular one any more, but it's one like this: amzn.to/3zg8Sfp
@@MeredithPhillipsWrites fantastic! Got it saved. Going to get it soon. Thank you for your suggestion.
I'm pretty sure the FBI has a file on me based on some of the stuff I've researched. :D
Oh, I'm FOR SURE on some list somewhere 😂
