I’m a queer writer with ADHD. I have a desk, but my brain doesn’t always like sitting there. I like to travel to various places; cafes and parks being my favorites. As I say in my YouTube videos: Let’s explore!
Having ADHD is often times synonymous with having a short attention span. While that is definitely true for me, it may not be true for everyone. All that to say, I speak for myself and my self alone when it comes to short attention spans; and honestly neurodivergence in general.

I’m starting this blog as a supplement to my videos. I’m just starting out in that vlog-o-sphere and will make mistakes or gloss over things. This here is where I can cover the rest. This is where I feel like I can cover anything that wasn’t mentioned or forgotten in the videos. And this blog will grow alongside the videos.
It’s also important to note that if there’s anything I say that’s incorrect or needs a correction in a particular video, or needs expanding upon, I can do that here and have that reflect in the video description.
What’s been great about this YouTube channel is that I can focus on something besides my writing. My brain seems to melt whenever my books are the sole focus of my day. I have experience in videography, so I figured out what else I could do pretty quickly.
That being said, I went a couple of months making videos before disaster struck. I was the lucky winner, not once but twice, of food poisoning in October. So I had to slow down and focus on writing when I felt better. And that had me rethinking ways I could improve on filming and editing. Some way that wouldn’t be so laborious and tedious. And I’m actually still figuring that out right now.

Ok, so here’s the plan at the moment: I’m going to blog about what I wanted to make happen at the start of this channel, versus what’s actually happening. Because the plan was to find as many places as possible where I feel comfortable writing. That hasn’t really happened yet, to be honest. My mind seems to tunnel vision very quickly and I forget to do one thing or another. Like I said, I’m easily distracted.
Until next time, happy writing!
