The Honest Struggles of Writing as a Stay at Home Mom // This writing vlog was meant to be a super productive mom day-in-the-life as I write a new story vlog! It did not in fact turn out to be that type of writing vlog. I still wrote a new story. It's been a goal of mine to write a novella that I could give out for free, and while I did write the novella, it took way longer than I intended it to. Mainly because motivation was low and when I finally did get motivated to write I got sick, so of course, my daughter also got sick...while she was also teething. Basically, I've been in survival mode. So here is a very honest writing vlog of my struggles to write as a full-time stay-at-home mom.
