So, omitting milk because you’re making them for your vegan friend….. (Pssst, hey audience, who’s going to tell her where butter comes from?)🤭

Thery are so nice making them 2nd time

Nice vid! 🤙👍

Don't usually write comments but this was a well educational video that quite literally solved my problem. Very quirky but fun to watch and listen to. You have my thanks. More writers should definitely watch

Been there. You’re doing great! Really, doing much more than I did while my children were little. Babies are wonderful and bring those emotions! I enjoy your videos and honesty.

This would be even better with brown sugar

Great vid. I'm anxious to get back to writing so any tips are greatly appreciated. : )

i always love writing a good tragic character. fear really should be used more than it is tbh

good video pog

Festive stories CAN be good, but a lot of them tend to be the Hallmark-y cliche...crap... A christmas movie Christmas Movie on Hulu takes the cake, though. It is the ULTIMATE...Hallmark movie.

My boyfriend ACTED like a toddler when I told him I'm making him help me put it up this year. The man ACTUALLY thought I'd let him skip christmas this year (tsk, tsk, tsk)

The terrible thing about anxiety is that it's usually accompanied by depression...eventually...the two do not mix very well. My trick is to try to do meditation every now and then. I get into bouts of mental tangles and it's very frustrating, but somehow writing makes me sort it out, as convoluted as my stories can be. Oh! and exercise. It doesn't sound fun, but it never does. It is WONDERS for depression. Even just going for a walk, fresh air is VERY important.

Nanowrimo with 2 jobs is HARD. The only way I was able to get writing done was (thankfully) working at a slow cafe where I was allowed to bring my computer, otherwise I would've been too tired to get any work done. Note to self: If you're LITERALLY falling asleep on the job...work fewer hours.

these are awesome and realistic goals! I also love your shirt!

I loved the Knife of Never letting Go... I hate that I finished it :(

It's normal to have doubts, especially during preptober. Keep at it, though, and don't feel like you can't just take a break when you need to during November. Burnout is harder to come back from than writer's block.

4:47 I thought you were ending the video 😂

Nice content keep up the good work :))

I love this!! And yes. Terrifying and unprepared.

Hopes for 2020 was well thought out. And then 2020 happened...

Don’t be annoyed with yourself!! Way to listen to your body and creativity.

I love tags!! “Cheeky crappy” haha that’s cute.

Oh, I didn't know the origins and evolution of the definition of Mary Sue. That was very interesting! I actively try to avoid Mary Sues, but I think I have a few Mentor characters that have fallen into this type. Your advice is very indepth and well thought out! It really made me think. So, thank you! Great video!

“High on hope” I love it 😂

Hey progress is progress!

These look really good!

youve got this!! I admire how well you seem to be taking all this uncertainty and way to keep your project goals in mind!

I agree with Harry Potter, that was in my opinion the best adaptation as well. Book four is the worst in my opinion. I have never continued watching A series of unfortunate events, I had a hard time sitting through the first two episodes. But I am going to give it another try. Great video, subscribed!

I love this! I'm definitely using this recipe!

That ice cream van just as you started was gold! I feel you, this has been really hard. Hope you feel better soon xx

You’ve got this! You’re allowed to feel down about this :(

"This is just what my life turned out to be" haha I FELT THAT!

How are you feeling with that nano hangover!

Hey knowing the ending is one of the biggest challenges! So having the end is such a great motivator to get through the middle because there is an end in sight!

Story idea??? Dream job but have to reflect and confront old bullies in the process in order to keep said job? Sorry you have to deal with that though!

I totally get the motivation issues. I am soooo there with you, but the whole idea of needing to get words down and then not can feel like a downward spiral...

This weird time in life where we feel energy just out of grasp but keep doing you! It’ll get better

Hi Amy. thanks for this video, its really great. you think you can do a video explaining how to separate a set of short stories into one manuscript using scrivener? also, one video explaining how to separate a story into scenes and chapters in scrivener?

How many does it make

Can u do it without heat

Bahaha “the world went to hell and I wanted to be atmospheric for it”. Im dying 😂

Love this!

Too cute!

YAY another comper! Feel free to add me as a buddy! Bethany Votaw is the name!

Adventure. Chaos. I love it. MISTBORN HECK YES!

Wow this is so exciting, Amy!!! I'm so happy that you can say goodbye to retail and that you got your draft done! :D I'm mostly excited because it's one step closer to being in my hands, while I'm in a cafe reading it with some lovely coffee by the side. Good to see the future is bright! <3

Yay congrats! How exciting!!

The editing process is eating me alive. Love the story so much, but when I write I just let the words fly. Now I'm just...so much words. Know it needs to be cut down to become a more structured story, but why does it have to be so hard?

You can do it! This year is long, just work slow and steady and you'll have something published :)

Got here first! Awesome! I wouldn't worry so much about the natural flow of events. STory telling requires non-stop progressive complications. Life is literally NEVER like that. For instance, my wife watched Gray's Anatomy for years. That hospital never had a good day, ever. The only thing I would say about sequels is that you can never deescalate, things have to get worse, challenges bigger, and the stakes higher. It's exhausted just thinking about it.
