Hello lovely humans!!
It is Molly from Molly Reads and Writes and I'm sorry for slacking last week and not
doing a writing vlog.
[Music]
All of last week I was in my hometown because my hometown church had asked me to
volunteer as the photographer slash videographer for their VBS.
Vacation Bible School.
Running around with children all day.
All day.
The short version of this is: I don't like spending oodles of time with people, and last
week was spent surrounded by 100 people ish with at least 50 of those being screaming
children.
That was Monday to Friday.
Saturday 9am to 1pm was a garage sale.
And then Sunday.
Sunday we had church.
That was seven days in a row of so many people.
I wrote nothing.
I did nothing.
I took off of my writing stuff and I intended to write
[sigh]
and I didn't.
So there was no writing vlog.
And this week has been booktubeathon and I have just been so tired from last week, and
just anxious in general, like my anxiety is not doing so hot right now so…
I just.
It's hard.
It's really hard to write.
But I thought we could chat.
We could have a little…
Molly could give excuses for why she didn't do anything last week.
And the first half of this week.
It's Wednesday by the way.
Technically it's Thursday now.
Technically it's Thursday July 27th.
I don't have much more to say on that topic.
But.
But!
I need to go to bed.
What's that?
Kill me now.
I'm feeling the peer pressure!
It's loading.
When you're stressed about things it takes so much longer.
Last week I ended up finishing the highlights video on Friday at eleven and the final program
started at 11:30 so I had to start rendering into a playable file, then I had to transfer
to a USB, which then had to be transferred to a computer that could play the file on
the projector screen.
I have never seen a rendering bar move so slow.
Oh my god it's loaded.
There's no writing going on in this writing vlog, is there?
Have an account already?
No.
I don't.
I do not.
Definitely not.
See what's happening in the world right now?
So I should follow…
Does Trudeau have a twitter?
I don't know.
Hi what's your name?
Molly.
This is happening!
Uh, I can feel my anxiety!
Let's drink some water.
Let's not think about it.
What should we call you?
We're going to call me Molly Beatrice…
Ooh kay, we're going to do MollyBeatrice 3, why not?
Because 3 is a good number.
We could do 13…
We'll do 13.
I like 13.
This is so complicated.
I need…
I need bed.
Bed would be good.
Let's just go now.
Synch contacts?
Fuck no.
Finding people for you to follow.
[Thud]
Why am I doing this to myself?
Oh my god I'm so stressed.
Why you make me do this?
Who are all these people?
No that's a lie.
I know some of them.
Not that I watch them.
Cuz I have no life.
You can't even see me I don't care look at my bookshelves.
Shit.
Shouldn't have done that.
Shouldn't have done that!
So I commented on Ben's video hours ago saying I would get twitter now.
Hours ago.
You now have a 15 minute video, I'm not going to post the whole thing, of me attempting
to get this.
I make a face in almost every photo I have ever.
[Thud]
Can I go to bed now?
I must go.
I must go.
Say goodnight.
Okay goodnight.
Good day lovely humans!
I still haven't written anything.
It's July 29th now.
I forgot that that's really limey now.
[Exhale] Okay.
I am currently waiting for one of my videos to upload and I decided that while I am waiting,
I will go to the grocery store and get some ingredients to try to make the cool lime refresher
at home and not spend and whole bunch of money on it all the time.
So that's what we're going to do right now.
We're going to go get some ingredients and then we're going to make it.
And I have about 40 minutes before we leave for the fun run.
I am all ready for it.
I'm all dressed up in the spirit of the fun run.
So I'm just killing some time.
And I don't exactly feel like reading right now.
Or writing.
I'm going to write later tonight.
Or plan.
My story needs a middle.
My story seriously need a middle.
So here we are loading.
Where's my mouse?
Here's my mouse.
And then, oh yeah, ignore the nerd part of me.
Anyway.
So this is the recipe that we're going to go with, excluding the green bean powder cuz
I don't know where to find it and I don't feel like finding it.
I'll find everything else.
[Music]
R: Should I be nervous?
M: I made it all by my self-ish…
R: It's a little too sweet but other than that it's quite good.
And it could use more mint.
M: I'll make a note.
Not so bad!
I'm talking to my humans!
Not you.
You're not important.
Just kidding!
[Laughs] Put that away.
I should probably write something.
I should also read something.
So Richard and I just did a fun run that a friend of mine hosted.
We got t-shirts and everything.
Oh you can come, you're wearing your shirt!
R: I'm wearing mine still.
Let's actually look at the glory that is this shirt.
It's says 10th km.
Fun and run.
Pace yourself!
It was 100 meter walk to a bar, It was awesome.
They had a water station and everything.
M: No.
It was 0.1 kilometers specifically.
With a water station half way.
And you win when you reached the doors of the pub.
I won.
I was the first one.
R: And being Canadian she had to hold the door for every single person to walk in.
M: Yeah so I won and I was the first one but I was one of the last people to go in and
sit down.
R: You're so polite.
M: Yeah, so then I posted something on my Instagram, I'll put the pictures here where
there's space.
I posted this and I also shared it to my Facebook, and my cousin took to commenting and has decided
she's holding me to the BMO half marathon in Vancouver next May.
She said she's serious and you know what, she's one of those people that I wouldn't
doubt the seriousness of that statement.
What am I going to do Richard?
I can work on my map.
I can work on research.
I can work on my outline.
Or I can do world building.
R: Map.
M: Map it is.
[Music]
My map is so close to done.
Ish.
Eh it's close enough.
I'll finish my map tomorrow morning I think.
So I'm gonna go read and purge the ending of this one book from my mind.
Cuz I just finished reading Midnight Sun and I have feelings.
They're not good feelings.
So I'm going to go read something else.
What am I going to read though?
I have a classic on the go, but I don't think that's… that's not…
That's not where my mind is right now.
I need something good.
This one?
I'm just so put off by what I just read.
What do I know is going to be good?
I have other books that I'm in the process of reading.
I should let you go so you don't have to watch the struggle.
I mean I should probably get sleep is what I should do, but uh… who sleeps?
Not me.
Tomorrow I'm going to book an eye appointment so that maybe one of these days I'll actually
have contacts again.
Anyway.
This is not at all related to writing.
I should just…
I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go to bed.
No I'm going to read.
I'm going to have a bath?
Should I?
It's midnight.
Is midnight too late for a bath?
I don't know.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
I'll tell you tomorrow morning what I decide to do with my tonight.
Goodnight.
[Music]
Good evening lovely humans!
I have not done nearly as much today as I hoped to do.
I'm not going to beat myself up about it cuz it's the last day of the readathon and
it was just busy.
I had to search for a bridesmaids dress today.
Which I found, thank goodness, I do not have to think of that anymore.
Tomorrow I have to go out of town to see said bride and help her out with some planning
stuff so I will not be able to write.
But Tuesday will be the start of my next writing vlog.
Yeah.
That's enough.
I am exhausted.
It is quarter after 12 now, so the readathon is over.
And tonight, and tonight I read two books
and I'm so tired.
I've just about finished editing my writing vlog and there's no way it's going up
tonight cuz I still have to put this clip in and a clip from earlier.
I'm just not…
I'm not doing very well with videos right now.
Good job Molly.
Pat yourself on the back.
So I'm going to go to bed and we will pick up with writing vlogs again on Tuesday, where
I should actually get stuff done.
Except I won't get a lot done because I have to pack for vacation.
We'll…
I don't know.
We'll work this out.
We'll work this out, there will be a writing vlog next week.
I cannot promise how much will go on in it though.
So.
I'm going to go to bed.
Thank you for watching and sticking with me in this very non-writing vlog.
Sorry.
And do I have a question tonight?
You know what.
My question is, what is your least favourite genre to write or to read.
Let me know in the comments below and if you like these, you should subscribe so you can

I hope that you have an awesome morning, afternoon, or evening, whichever it is, wherever you are.
See ya!
