I Almost Quit Writing (an honest conversation)

Why I Almost Quit Writing //I recently had what I'll call a mini-crisis because I was struggling to make things work as a full-time mom and business owner. I needed to take care of my daughter, make YouTube videos, write books, and promote books online, but I couldn't do it all. No matter how hard I tried, something was always slipping through the cracks, so I thought to myself, what if I just chose to stop one of the things. What if I stopped writing my fiction books and just focused on non-fiction which felt easier and sold better because of my YouTube channel? The possibility of quitting my fiction writing sent me down into a long spiral, and in today's video I'm talking you through that thought spiral and why, at the end of it all, I chose not to quit. →Book Cover Design Courses: https://bit.ly/coverdesignbundle →Book Formatting Course (print & ebook formatting): https://bit.ly/formattingcourse →Writing Stickers: https://stoneridgestickers.com →Newsletter: http://bit.ly/2ozIoRx →Hiking YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3gX1PvN PLANNERS - - - - - - - - - - →My Writing Planner: https://amzn.to/3EIi0tS →My Novel Outline Planner: https://amzn.to/3DQMtVJ →My Book Launch Planner: https://amzn.to/3HMrbuj →2025 Writing Planner (paperback): https://amzn.to/4fCCPXd →2025 Writing Planner (printable): https://stoneridgebooks.com/products/printable-2025-planner NON-FICTION BOOKS - - - - - - - - - - →How Your Book Sells Itself: https://amzn.to/2NRwufz →Grow Your Author Platform: https://amzn.to/38vELxB →Book Sales That Multiply: https://amzn.to/2sNdqb1 →Secrets to Selling Books on Social Media: https://amzn.to/38GMYBs →Plan a Profitable Book Launch: https://amzn.to/3jFaHYO FICTION BOOKS - - - - - - - - - - →Meet Me at the Summit: https://amzn.to/3zJfdLJ →Let the Rubble Fall: https://amzn.to/3UgMxDx →The Trail to You & Me: https://amzn.to/3X8vEiX →Essence: https://amzn.to/2Rmv6CS →I am Mercy: https://amzn.to/36bg73J →She's Not Here: https://amzn.to/30RDy0W →Mr. Moon's Big Move: https://amzn.to/3n8JZtE FIND ME ONLINE- - - - - - - - - - Content for writers: @mandilynnwrites Content for readers: @authormandilynnbell MY FAVORITE TOOLS- - - - - - - - - - →Find KDP keywords and categories, PublisherRocket: https://mandilynnwrites--rocket.thrivecart.com/publisher-rocket/ →eBook Formatting, Kotobee Author: https://bit.ly/3ZzR4GR →Social media graphics, Canva: http://partner.canva.com/XxNvK5 →Music in videos, Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/fpblic/ →Email software, Kit: https://partners.kit.com/8nvsos0bd95z Mandi Lynn published her first novel when she was seventeen.
