This week’s vlog is another wild ride. Would this motivate you or make you hyperventilate? I’m sharing exactly how I managed a big writing sprint, what went wrong on launch day, and how I’m setting my next aggressive goal to finally finish my romcomantasy trilogy before Christmas.
👋 If you’re new here I’m Kelsey—rom-com author, former stand-up comic, mom of six. I make cozy, real-life writing vlogs, a podcast, writing tips videos, funny bits. I'm a lot. Subscribe for weekly humor, heart, inspo, motivation and zero perfectionism.
