Outlining as a Pantser, Trying a New Gym, and Talks about Book Marketing

Hi! It's been a minute since I've uploaded anything, and this video has been sitting in my drafts for a while now.

Working on this prequel has been so difficult, but I finally think I'm getting the hang of things now that I have an outline. Outlines are almost foreign subjects to me. I've never been good at making one and even worse at sticking to it. I often feel too lazy to write the story if I have an outline because a part of me feels like the story is already written. But I guess it's different when I'm outlining one part at a time because it's a lot shorter!

Keeping up with a full-time job, my book series, this channel, and now a bookstagram account while still trying to have a life outside of everything is driving me insane. I don't like the notion that authors have to market their own books nowadays because the market is so saturated, but we can't change the market, unfortunately. And besides, I'm making content about things I like: writing and reading. I can't complain too much.
