2025 Vlogs

Currently Playing: Not enough time! Balancing writing with a 9-5 | writing vlog | Vlog 75 2025

OPEN ME!: Join me for a busy day wrapping up work for the week and then trying to write. Balancing writing and being an author with a full time 9-5 day job is not always easy and this week I felt like I had failed a bit at that balance. But I got back on track and ended the week with some positive progress. I also talk about my unofficial writing challenge that's not a challenge for October at the end of the vlog. I hope you enjoy! :) xx #writerslife #cozyvlog #indieauthor #lifeinmy40s In today’s vlog - 00:00 It’s been a stressful week (but I have fresh hair) - 00:27 Getting work done for the week - 07:06 I’m so tired - 07:34 Quick trip to Whole Foods - 09:03 Writing update (it’s been a rough week) - 09:20 First writing sprint - 19:43 Working on the midpoint of my novel - 20:49 Balancing writing with a 9-5 job - 22:51 Second writing sprint - 36:37 October writing plans - 37:22 Get your copy of the Farm Shop of Second Chances!: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMFW44JY Join me on Patreon!: patreon.com/AndreaJSeverson Sign up for my newsletter!: https://www.andreajseverson.com/email-sign-up Check out the Independent Hearts Series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DZMG8Q9 Check out the Across the Pond series! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NB3Q7W7 Buy More Than Fate! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094CWJMLX (This link is the US store but you can search in your country's Amazon store to find it as well!)
