I just realized you're not using your Kanken!?!🎒🧡

Happy Birthday Ruby x

Right now I am reading Agatha Christie. I have grown a huge interest in british literature after watching your vlogs. Those books remind me of you and you remind me of the necessity of reading. I like your vlogs a lot.

Ruby, you are such a delight 💕 Ty for this video! I hope you film more videos like this one :))

I'm not a writer but an artist so I can totally get sth out of this ❤

Hello

Same Types Of Content repeated in different manner from beginning to till date which are not so much inspirational and motivational and nothing to learn who do want to learn something better in order to improve themselves but this type of Videos are for those who want to pass the Time freely ..I do not understand what types of Knowledge has intended to be spread but in that regards I do want to quote a Speech Of Swami Vivekananda "Life is for ever Expanding , Contradiction Causes death ".

Please make more copies of your "Michaelmas at Oxford" booklet available. Pleazzze!

Ruby, how many chapters do you have to write for your dissertation? Does your Master's program end next month?

If you're interested about world building, there's a great podcast dedicated to it called Your Rivers Are Wrong. You might like it!

This is so helpful for any creative person

This vid' is very inspiring! Ruby you are so good to us and you are so pretty I jst can't hardly even believe it

09:51 Woah! It's an American football field. It seemed unusual and somewhat random until I found there are two Oxford American football clubs. I wonder if they use the filed for practice.

its the end of the semester and its getting so hard for me to be productive and do my assignments. watching your videos helps me so much <3

Thanks you Ruby, for sharing those precious tips (walking a lot...)and telling us the importance of cultivating writing ability. I hop you have a lovely and productive week as well!!

Hi Ruby, do you (or anyone!) have any tips for education and learning as a neurodivergent person? I essentially left mainstream education just before covid as a result of my mental health and the kind of toxicity of the system I was trapped in. I’ve attempted so many times to get back into education as I do genuinely adore learning, I’ve taught myself in quite an eclectic mix of topics from poetry and philosophical writing to physics and the beautiful illusion we call time. I’ve just never found a way to make accommodations for myself and it can be rather lonely not being able to expand my thoughts as being autistic I don’t really have friends or anyone to bounce ideas around with and I feel like that’s such a key part of learning.

The thumbnail of this video is soo pretty ruby! It really captures your beauty ❤

A productive student spreading the joy of literature and no sign of a Palestinian flag , now that’s progress

Have you ever felt paralised because of perfeccionism? I'd love to see you talk about that. When I watch your videos it's like you have the words to express something I've thought about, but didn't know how to say it 😅 you seem so productive 🥺 how do you stay so calm and find purpose in each day that you do what you have to do?

What is your dissertation about and what are you going to do with your degree after graduation? What field are you looking for a job in? Have you applied for any yet?

Inspiration that I needed at this time. Thank you. You mentioned your dissertation due. Please consider continuing for a doctorate. You are gifted.

Can anyone share how to draft a plot for writing? I feel I can never set myself on a thing because when I plan the longterm story, i feel pressured and overwhelmed by the fact that anything is possible

Is high school teacher and the majority of my lessons are pre planned because I teach the exact same course year after year. This means I’m mostly free during my planning periods, which I can then use for “honing my professional skills” aka secretly writing my novels. JRR Tolkien wrote most of lord of the rings on the backs of his students essays so I feel I’m in good company!

Kind of off topic, but you're really glowing in this video. It's nice to see you so happy. ❤

Allocating that time for writting is brilliant as, eventually, your mind will begin to expect the time and begin preparing itself for creative writing. I have seen this phenomena work with regards to scheduled meditation, sleep, studying, and exercise.

Ruby try reading 'Emma'! I think its the most fun, most gossipy, most joyful Austen.

Please do a journaling video at some point if you’d like to - I’d love to watch that, love all your videos!

Graduate school years are precious. Cherish every moment.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Ruby, thanks for sharing some of your thoughts and practices on this topic! I agree with you on the importance of getting away from this habit of justifying enjoyment/pressuring ourselves to be good at everything we do. I'm a 34 year old dude in the US who has structured much of my adult life around daily learning and trying new things. I started attending beginner ballet classes last year. The first few classes I literally could not do the majority of the movements that were being done - and I haven't improved much since! My lack of skill as a ballet dancer is fairly limited, but the growth potential that the learning process has offered me is limitless. It feels good to be great at something, but sometimes it feels even better to be terrible at something and going for it anyway. All the best!

This is genuinely confusing me and I don't intend it as an attack but why does her pitch fluctuate so much? At the start of the video she has a lower pitch than in her voiceover and past videos. I'm kinda new so I feel lost haha

Ruby, this video couldn't have come at a better time! I am currently swamped with assignments for college and I haven't had as much time for creative writing as I normally would. I think you are definitely correct about being proactive in setting aside that time each and every day--I really need to do the same!

The most adorable blue stocking…..pure Vita or Vera….

not into creative writing, never going to be an author, but hey, i’m still here watching this because i love ruby’s videos 😂 it was interesting seeing how someone goes about writing books!

Going to chime in here (watching the section about walking around the reservoir) - IIRC there was a study a while ago that showed that the act of walking helps with idea generation, especially walking outside, so it's a really productive way to brainstorm! ... Looked it up to make sure I'm not talking from my nethers... Yes! It was a study by researchers at Stanford in 2014 called "Give your Ideas some Legs": abstract below if anyone is interested.... "RESEARCH REPORT Give Your Ideas Some Legs: The Positive Effect of Walking on Creative Thinking Marily Oppezzo and Daniel L. Schwartz Stanford University Four experiments demonstrate that walking boosts creative ideation in real time and shortly after. In Experiment 1, while seated and then when walking on a treadmill, adults completed Guilford’s alternate uses (GAU) test of creative divergent thinking and the compound remote associates (CRA) test of convergent thinking. Walking increased 81% of participants’ creativity on the GAU, but only increased 23% of participants’ scores for the CRA. In Experiment 2, participants completed the GAU when seated and then walking, when walking and then seated, or when seated twice. Again, walking led to higher GAU scores. Moreover, when seated after walking, participants exhibited a residual creative boost. Experiment 3 generalized the prior effects to outdoor walking. Experiment 4 tested the effect of walking on creative analogy generation. Participants sat inside, walked on a treadmill inside, walked outside, or were rolled outside in a wheelchair. Walking outside produced the most novel and highest quality analogies. The effects of outdoor stimulation and walking were separable. Walking opens up the free flow of ideas, and it is a simple and robust solution to the goals of increasing creativity and increasing physical activity."

I love a intelligent girl.

Don't burn your books. 😊 You could say that when you die then your books are burned automatically. But we're alive, so preserve, share, and enjoy the connections. So, the corrections for my book are "live", I invite you to purchase: my pen name is Evi Kammer, the book is The Art of Finding Witness. No expectations, just connecting: one writer to another! And I swear I'll not repeat the invitation. Congrats in advance on finishing your dissertation/semester (degree?)! Take care, Dan.

Thanks Ruby.

Thanks for sharing this! Totally agree - we are always so quick to criticise our own work and we shouldn’t! It’s ours and it’s special, no one else can feel or think or write what we do, we’re all so unique and our work is also! The point is to enjoy it and work on self improvement, but be proud of what we produce 🙂 x

Im an aspring writer too, and this motivated me to grab my laptop and keep going! Im currently doing my GCSE modules so needless to say, everything but school has been neglected! I also struggle with perfectionism with writing, and I beat myself up about poor poetry and storytelling, but your views on writing for the process of writing really changed my mind ❤

As someone also at Oxford who loves writing, seeing you make time for it around workload has inspired me to try harder to make time for it! Thank you <3

Olá, Ruby! Obrigado pelo vídeo e informações. Certamente serão muito úteis!

Hello Ruby, I have a certain amount of time to look at UA-cam every day and I use it by watching you, you give me hope and inspiration, always be happy.❤

Namaste Ruby🙏Where is your watch from? Link please Love love your videos

I am a mother of a book obsessed baby. I have been dreaming of writing a children's book, everyday I read all sorts of baby books, and I always think "why can't I sit and write one?" I have been frozen by my perfectionism. This video has inspired me to just sit and write again(I have lost this hobby after becoming a mum). Maybe it will be geared towards children, maybe not, but I am just going to create. Thank you for your content.

Who else agrees that ruby is the best person to get study tips from

Why does everything have an ad

How do you manage your creative writing with your dissertation? Is it difficult to research and plan to a deadline when you want to work on your hobby? Asking for a friend, I'm about to do an undergrad diss and I know it's way harder at Masters level!! :((

I love your passion for writing Ruby! You go girl!

❤
