Listen to the interview itself on BBC Sounds (Part 1 of me is at 13:22. Part 2 is at 1:11:16): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j9rmxt
“I’ve decided to just not worry about it.”
Gotta needlepoint that one on a pillow because the analysis paralysis around here is NO JOKE.
Thank you for sharing your journey! ✍️
Hahaha for real though you're right :S Thanks for watching!
I lived in England as a kid and one of my favorite things was to take "side quests" to see old buildings and monuments!
Love a side quest! It's so interesting learning about the history of places that you walk past every day
So happy to see you getting back into the swing of things! As someone who is a frequent streamer here on RUclips, I promise it is not as scary as it seems! Not sure what time zone you are in, but if you ever want to be a guest on one of my live writing streams to dip a toe in water, we have a fun time! I have enjoyed watching your content, and I have loved the opportunity to make new writing friends here on RUclips :)
Thank you so much for the invite! I’ll definitely keep it in mind! 😊
Hey Oli! Perfect timing- a loved one of mine is currently writing a book... I will check if they would be interested in watching and listening to this video, and if so I will forward the link!
Confession- I am not a writer, but I love all sorts of bookish things- reading, thrifting books, book bags, book art, reviews, typewriters, keyboards, stationary, hot drinks, etc.
I'm also enjoying following your story here on youtube! I will check out your radio interview as soon as I get a chance, as well as any content pertaining to that interview that you post here in the near future.
Thanks for sharing your journey publicly, and you have my support from Canada! 🍁
Fawn 😊
Hey Fawn! Thank you so much! I hope my videos can be useful :)
@@OliverFergusonAuthor My loved one said yes, so I forwarded the link to this video! 🙂
Great! :)
Excited to follow you on this renewed journey! Streams are really fun 💃🏽 Found they can be really helpful. Want to finish the first draft of my first novel by year’s end. A sci fi romance. I feel you on getting stuck on the specifics of world building. My world has aliens living on Earth with us in the 21st century so I’m trying to find that balance where it’s believable without going too deep into things.
Thanks! Good luck on your first draft! The concept sounds super interesting
@@OliverFergusonAuthor Thank you!
Great to have you back Oli! Would love to see some streams from you. I know we don't know each other, but if you ever need a streaming buddy, let me know!
Thanks so much, I'll keep it in mind! :)
Streaming on RUclips is a lot of fun, as long as you have decent wifi!
Yeah that's a good point ha!
Love the honest theme: Get your sh$t together 😂 I'm the same. Currently going through a life change and I've fallen behind schedule.... Keep going! You got this!
Haha I just had to say it like it is! Thanks, you too! Good luck with it all :)
