    I've started a planner for my book, and I've also started using the hero's journey story structure. Been writing this book since I was 11. Now I'm 14. So what I wanna do before 2022,is finish my book and get it published.

    Isla's little laughs and noises in the background are so cute lol. Congrats on your progress! I did a bit of planning for my project and it boiled down to like a few hours worth of work altogether. Yay for short stories!

    • @VivienReis

      I have been so tempted to write some short stories but I've never done it so of course it makes me nervous haha
      Also, I didn't notice all the Isla noises until editing 😂

      @@VivienReis I used to not really do short stories when I was younger. I’d only do long form type of stories and things that took up so much time and effort. But I really wanted to get together a bunch of things I can submit to anthologies or literary journals while I work on my main series. I also wanted to improve my writing super fast. So decided this year that I would do a collection that I can publish for next Halloween, and any of the stories that don’t make the cut for that I can use elsewhere!

    I'm doing Nano but only expected to reach 20k if I was lucky with having three little ones and a crazy life. Well I've almost got to 20k already and I'm so happy.

    Congratulations on your progress!
    I had neck issues when I had kids. Try laying flat on your back on the floor with a towel rolled under your neck for five minutes every day! Bayer back & body works amazing in a pinch.

    Hi, I have a question. I was wondering if it is possible for me to use a a fake name to publish my book? I don't wanna use my real name and i don't want people to know my name. I've heard that some authors has done that but i'm not sure

    • @VivienReis
      @VivienReis  3 года назад

      Thank you! It's a 2016 LaCrosse Luxury Lite 329BHT. It was really important to us that the bunkhouse be separated from the bathroom (because the shower/toilet woke Isla in our last rig) and that there be the double slides in the living space so there's an island with tons of room. We spent a couple months painting it up but I'm in love with it!! So happy we took the time to find the perfect rig. (We also bought it off FB marketplace, and it had been in a covered garage since the people had bought it. We lucked out finding a great one that wasn't at a dealer!)
