Mistakes I made when shooting my first vlog:
- Pronouncing ‘vlog’ like ‘vee-log’ instead of ‘vlog’
- Thinking I could shoot at 10pm and be done before midnight
- Believing I could wing the script
- Shooting in a green painted room, which makes everything look a bit sickly
Hope you enjoy it anyway 
Comments always appreciated, especially as its my first one!

Love your honesty, Amy, and agree with what you say. As long as I’m moving forward with my writing I never get angry or upset that I’m not doing enough. There are times when we all feel swamped – every day – but if you can just wrestle out a page or even notes on a concept or some editing and keep that momentum going, that is the key. Social networking is so important because of blogs/vlogs like these that make you feel like you’re not alone. My attitude has changed since I’ve been on Twitter. I no longer see other writers as my competition, I see them as a massive support network to help me on my journey and hopefully I can give back as much as I’m getting from all the cool writers out there. All the best with the juggling

Sounds like a great attitude, Tom! I agree, the support that I’ve had from other writers going through this process has been amazing. Writing can definitely feel isolating, but the community is so warm.
