Writing Distractions, A Book Cover Reveal, and Getting Vaccinated | BTS Writing Vlog 021
Hello, Booklovers!
On Tuesday, I started the writing vlog off strong by setting a goal to reach the midpoint of the novella by the end of the week. Well, as you know this is me setting a goal and I got distracted by a few other important bright, shiny and new distractions. However, despite all of the distractions, I did make some progress, and as you’re aware some progress is better than no progress. On the 14th of May, I started to feel anxious about my upcoming vaccination appointment that I had scheduled through my GP in London. And, I discuss whether my anxieties were well-founded plus my experience in attending the vaccine clinic.
So, stay tuned for all of that and much more.
