Thanks for being so transparent about the reality of your hectic writing life!! It is very grounding.
15k is still such an accomplishment! i wrote a grand total of 500 words this entire week, and while i'm not participating in nano, it's easy to feel like you're not doing enough. sometimes you've just got to give yourself the grace to fall behind when life gets complicated. i hope you have an easier time with dictation once you get your microphone :)
im proud of you... you have your daughter to take care of, here I am living alone and already behind on week 1 🙂😂💖
Sorry about your joint pain. Hope you get better soon. :) I'm behind too by 5k and seem to be stuck there no matter what I lock in, but at least I was able to start
writing back in order again. I kind of skipped around a lot of scenes for week 2 until the weekend.
Isla has gotten so big🥰
I can understand your issues about writing via dictation. I think the reason it works better for me is because of my ADHD I have and that fact that I'm already making typos and such and have decided I'll edit after I complete the first draft.
I've been down this transcription journey! Here's my dictation/transcription workflow. Might be helpful:
Dictate via basic iPhone voice memo app.
Save/Share to Dropbox (via voice memo app)
That syncs the file to my computer.
Upload that synced file to MS Word online for AI transcription (online only for now via Office 365 subscription).
Then I take that text and paste it into a new Scrivener page. Now I have an archive of that session.
I've been very satisfied with my results!
My kids are grown, now I write.
I have no idea what I was doing back then. It did take 100% of my time. My kids are great! They have no memory that time either. hihi
It's cool that you can write with your crazy life 😊
You are doing great! Keep it up, keep trying new things! I love how REAL your videos are.
Try fish oil and a B-complex. Does wonders for joint and nerve pain.
I feel like I wrote SO MUCH this past week... for school, not for NaNo
Isla is such a sweetheart. I love seeing her and how she is growing. Love her to bits. Vivien could you give us some information on James Scott Bell's "Mirror Moment" and if you think it's valid? I've been debating whether to start the book at my male character's 'mirror moment' as it might dictate how I write the beginning. Please take care and be safe. Hugs to all of you.
I just started to dabble with dictation, it helps to turn it on while I'm driving alone so I can get words in and it's just like talking to my partner if he was in the car. I just hit 26k yesterday!
How are things going with the dictation? I recently broke my wrist and was amazed to find out that the iPhone has really good built-in dictation. I have actually been blogging nonstop with the built-in iPhone dictation. It’s amazing.
I’ve been less able to work on the novel that I was working on before I broke my wrist, but that’s mostly because I can carry my phone anywhere, but with an injured arm it’s quite hard to carry your computer everywhere and I didn’t have my novel well enough organized to put it on my phone and make sense of it there.
Your baby is so cute
I do have a new Mac, the dictation program is not that great. I use it in Scrivener. Even simple words are not transcribed correctly. I don’t know if I have to articulate better and speak faster. I know that it shuts off when I delay in speaking even for 10 seconds.
I hope you figure out your joint pain. It’s not fun.
Thank you for your vlog. ❤️ from Miami
Vivien, try 400mg (2) of Ibuprofen with 1000mg (2)Tylenol at the same time and your hands will work like brand new. :)
Have you tried taking Moringa for your joints? Try it, please.
Try easy voice record app. It’s a blue speaker icon on the iPhone. Still not perfect but it records you then you can have it transcribe it
hiiiiiii!
Just found your videos, and this is random, but have you ever heard of Palindromic Rheumatism? Maybe in more recent videos you have revealed what may be going on, but if no answer yet, talk to a rheumatologist about this. I had never heard of it until my own diagnosis, and you sound like you have the same issues as me, so check it out!
11:07 Lmao! Who uses their microwave as a clock?
So thanks for your your 🎁 Nano raimo writing for your writing matter, I am looking your 🎁 site from Last three four days, but no change in your 🎁 video title therefore I specifically visit your 🎁 site, I think I have given you a little bit some hints about writing that you follow or not I don't know but anyway there are many reasons for that.I just listen from you 🎁 that you are able to write your dectaction from the next week that is good for your opinion
In my case I take long time per day therefore I can think about next steps and also doing little bit practical work, but it will take time but I can do it freely without any tension.So you have little kids and your 🎁 mind is always care of your 🎁 kids therefore you could not do as you want. but don't worry about it, it takes long time but more relaxe your 🎁 mind it will easily get a way for your writing speed.
thanks again for your interest and information for your personal problems how you handle so I said that simple way for you.
You might need to do some hand stretches before you start typing.
Being married with a kid and being an author. Sounds almost impossible. LOL It will get easier after she is three. Maybe not much easier but some. LOL
