2:29 Me, eating Funyuns while watching this video "getting ideas" for my book: 😶

1:57 hilarious but so true at the same time 😂😂❤❤

that feeling when you’ve been working on a story for over a year and a half but most of the work is dedicated to planning and doing character development and obsessing over characters in your brain and rewriting things you already wrote because now there’s continuity issues and everyone tells you “oakly just fix them in the second draft” but you Can’t Just Move On and your revisions doc now has 2000 more words than your actual story

3:53 This is actually super helpful for me cuz I spend half my pre-writing time picking what to listen to 😅 So, thank you, random citizen!

I’m a young reader/writer. I struggle finishing books so I can’t read bigger books but to me the bigger ones are better. I could read my work as fast as lightning but what if I can’t write it?

1:57 yea….like so many are not straight or are straight and not in a relationship

1:09 This is what the mc in my book has!

1:20 THIS BRO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

0:50 no fr i get a little over possessive of my babycakes aaron warner Anderson💚💚💚

3:32 THIS IS ME HELPP IM 7K WORDS IN WITH NO DESCRIPTION ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE LOOL😭

2:38 This is literally me. I had the greatest idea for a book, but couldn't put it into words, so every day for 5 days I would get on the google doc, and just stare.

6:55 OH MY GOD YESSSSSS

enemies to lovers is good only if it is queer and i stand by that. I'm not gonna read a straight enemies to romance where the entire time the girl "hates" him, she is also saying how good looking he is. What i love to read it rivalry and the *confusion* of i hate them but no??? I love it when both of them actually hate each other and have a good reason to; literal fights break out bruised knuckles and split lips or slamming against a wall to punch you then chapters later, slamming you against a wall to kiss you. wow that was a rant

2:55 "an average person reads 12 books-" Me:" A week?" "no, an YEAR" oh well

2:45 THAT'S NOT A THING NORMAL PEOPLE DO??? shite

Oakridge

. . . did not expect to get called out 28 seconds into the video, but im gonna do the characters waking up to start off my chapter one anyways cause i aint rewriting a whole chapter

I have an amazing idea for a sci fi- time travel novel. I’m up to the part making all the planets and species because I’m too lazy to do research on existing things. I’m procrastinating.

finally something i can relate to

the second one is my biggest delay sometimes lmao

I'm writing about the leader of a crime group, which doesn't even do crime and honestly just helps people, having to adopt a child and meeting this librarian guy that he instantly falls for. MC is trans btw ^_^!!!

K SO TIP FOR GETTING RID OF WRITERS BLOCk write smthn about vampires. idgaf if its stupid like twilight, or if it's the most gut-wrenching, heart twisting, eye-watering thing you've ever written. js write abt vampires. it works. or the alternative, pirates. again, it can be stupid or it can be intense idk if this works for anyone other than me, but try it out

4:21 tis what the sequel's abt <3

1:32 type 2: Skyhunter by marie lu (pure unbridled angst)

honestly when your a writer you start asking yourself questions you never thought you would ask

2:48 I use this EXACT trope! And then he kidnaps the other protagonists, enslaves her family, forces her to marry him, and takes her back to his alien palace 😃

THE MALITDAPTIVE DAYDREAM THING-OH MY FRICKIN GOD MOST RELATABLE THING EVERRRRR

Me after hitting page 100 and now I am addicted to my draft and it’s all I talk about all day

ADDED TO MY TBR 👍

2:20 I'm sorry, I have to disagree. I actually don't like the sympathetic villain epidemic. Characters are allowed to have no light, just darkness, simply because that can be very fun to read. In fact, in the project I'm working on now, I've made the deliberate choice to reject the easy "oh their parents died and now they're evil" shtick and just write a woman who is utterly psychotic. I think a villain can be both irredeemably evil and three dimensional at the same time. My go-to example is always Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame; we see the nuances of how his mind works, so he's by no means two dimensional, but good luck trying to tell me there is any light to him.

3:22 that... I feel very called out😂

KITCHEN SINKKKKK

guys help i just watched these videos instead of writing :`(

Guess who just finished their 1 chapter in their book called "The Girl who Loved and Burned" ?!!!!!

Writertoks to watch instead of writing 😭😭😭. Omg why is this sooo true. Lately I’ve been binge watching your channel instead of actually writing 😶

2:12. This is so real omg I edit my friend’s essays all the time 😭

guys… i actually wrote last night 😁

1:32 YES. Chilling here because my writing motivation decided to get a vacation. Hopefully not a permanent one. :)

6:13 Hah! Screw that. I wrote a childhood friends but character A loses their memories so now they're basically strangers. They meet again and they're enemies while character B quietly pining and character A is slowly starting to fall in love with them. Oh, and it's a mafia AU, so they're forced to be partners and learn to trust each other. >:) So, technically its: Childhood friends -> strangers -> enemies -> partners but still enemies -> lovers

2:40 is so real!!!!

Y'all, I hate to admit this, given how much I love writing and aspire to be an author, but I'm writing my second novel, and I feel like I'm not getting the same angsty thrill as before. I love nothing more than to keep talking about how much I love the plot and all of the plot twists, however, actually writing it feels like a chore at times. I can't tell if it's because I've been so busy with school and sports, but even when I'm free, I'm never in the headspace to write. Am I losing my spark? Has this happened to y'all? What's going on?

I was always a book girlie. I was reading since I can remember and I’ve been writing since 7 but those were like 5 page books that I never published. Now I’m in the process of writing a fantasy book, kudos to those of you that have already wrote one and to the ones trying to write a book, you have my full support and best wishes <3

Lolz, I’m writing a fantasy book currently of a seamstress that has a job as a vet for magical creatures in the rival kingdom, does anyone have any title ideas? The MC’s name is Aurielle, idk I just loved the name and wanted to tell someone :)

6:34 It's 40! That's how many it takes of od on caffeine! I tried to look up how many that is in energy drinks and got the suicide hotline! Literally just curious, I don't even drink caffeine regularly

12 cups of coffee a day because she made my google go off 😂

I got an ad to help kamala said by Obama and it made me smile because he’s one of my fav president <3

the amount of unfinished docs I have saved of shiny new book ideas I never finish should be made into a horror movie.
