The weather today is absolutely perfect. The kind of warm winter’s day where you can wear shorts and a long sleeve shirt or light sweater. In other words, ideal. As I type this, the little dog is in her fluffy bed under my desk panting because it is so ‘warm.’

It is a day not to be wasted. It is not the kind of day to spend indoors. It is the kind of day that MUST be spent in a park—which is where this week’s video was filmed.

Lately, I’ve been admiring various YouTube creators who are openly/knowingly/intentionally sharing imperfect video content. Honestly, it is just so endearing and often hilarious.

The filming and audio of this week’s video are not perfect, but I kinda of love that. Part of me feels real resistance towards YouTube videos that look like they were created in studios and edited by someone with, you know, skills and talent.

The quality of this week’s video is, well, look, just a little bit shit. HOWEVER, I stand behind what I say in the video 110%. 🙂

This week’s video is a pep talk that focusses on two specific challenges most writers encounter. Firstly, a lack of time. Secondly, our hesitancy to call ourselves writers.

Personally, I think you can solve the latter by dealing with the former, but you’ll have to watch the video to learn more about that!

So, if you’re needing a little pep talk and some sunshine, watch the video above!
