Being able to write like that is amazing. 🤩

Thank you for sharing your journal collection! There is nothing sad about loving beautiful journals - every writer I know (including me) geeks out over stationery. I adore the journals with the hot air balloons; I've been using the peacock journals by Rifle Paper Co. lately, and they are kind of the same style as your journals with the hot air balloons.

I like your wall with all the pages hanging up🤍

Writer’s block, creative blocks in general have been a common theme lately I’ve noticed

I am so glad I found your channel, you give incredible advice! Very inspiring <3

Mam do you first write it on paper then on laptop or directly on laptop

Oyinda, do you outline your books? By the way, your name is so beautiful. ☺

Are you based in London. I will be there for literature work in September 2024. ☕️

Wow as a writer and multi award winning poet of more than two decades, I am so glad that I just found your channel and I agree wholeheartedly with content. In order for me to write well, I have to read well ie literature diet and watching my genre intake. Imposter Syndrome for me is a constant shadow, the carriage of internal mayhem allowed to grow organically from vine to vine or as it is chapter to chapter. I discovered quite intensely that in order for me to think well, overall I walk up to 40 kilometres plus per week. Walking clears the mental cobwebs and for the most part solidifies some mind bending creative narrative. So much so I have to jot thoughts down as soon as I am back home in the front door. As well I find your writing room very inspiring. I live for walking, reading, writing. I don’t smoke or vape, detest the thought of gambling my hard earned dosh and found alcohol once upon a time to be a total thief of creativity and bore. Work on what you believe in. Believe in your work. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yvette, 😊

Hey I'm just curious are your books that we can find on Amazon... self-published? Or which publisher are you with? I'm so glad I found your channel!

Quick question, I love to write in cursive too since I was trained in it in school. But then... do you really convert all of this to typing? I guess you have to right? In today's day and age? Or is the cursive stuff just for your ownself or private projects after your paid work (which I'm assuming in 2024... has to be typed)? Thank you! Glad I came across this video!

your videos always seem to cheer me up

Sorry. I see what paper you use. I'm a new subscriber.

I loved this video. May I ask what kind of paper you use with your pens? hugs

How lovely! Your voice and thoughts are amazing!

I am halfway through this book and it has been a lovely ride so far.

Where is the rest of this video? Is there more? I REALLY want to hear all of it. Man... I'm feeling this way. I need help out of this dungeon. You are such an inspiration ❤

I love your videos. So inspiring. May I ask you a question? Why do you write by hand? I know that a lot of writers write by hand and then they type in the words. Writers have different reasons for doing this. What is your reason? Would love to know. Or do you have a video on your channel talking about this?❤🙂

❤❤

This doesn't have anything to do with the video, but I'll say it anyway. I'm soooo happy to see a person of color with a writing channel on KZbin. I don't see that much. As a young biracial girl who wants to be a published author, it's just really inspiring. I hope you have a good day/night! ❤

😍

I really resonate with the message of the beginning of this video. I hit the wall often, but it’s all about persevering and pushing yourself to write even if you feel like you don’t have the words.

Gosh I relate to this so much especially right now. Sometimes there's a very fine line... it's like... (potentially) profitable maladaptive daydreaming. xD

Thanks for sharing this. I needed to see this. Writing is my passion and I'm currently working on a novel. <3

Very inspiring ❤

spread positivity like wildfire! 🔥

im so glad this randomly showed up on my youtube! great video

woah

Your handwriting looks stunning! Do you have any tips for people who experience hand pain when writing a lot by hand? Thanks a lot and keep up the great work 🌸

What time do you usually come on live uk time ?

I felt this - it is so true! Glad you listened to your intuition and did what comes naturally.

Hi how's going

If i don't see oyinda video and gives me inspirational and enthousiasm my struggling of writing wouldn't stop and she encourages to write but i am really struggling finding the time.

Reminds me of one of the Tom Clancy books. Where the character Jack Ryan's wife would do that. She would say if you don't write it down when you think of it it's like it never happened.

3:39 reminded me of an author i studied in university who was seen by everyone as rude because they would talk to him or even go out to lunch and, if he got an idea, he would just open his little notebook and write it down, it didn't matter if someone was talking or not hahaha maybe not the best way to handle it socially but hey, it clearly works!

Thank you for the tips

I love the ink and pen!

I have a question, wht are your thoughts on AI threats? is it possible for AI to replace novelist creativity?

Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to step out of my comfort zone to pursue my passion for writing and this confirmed that money does not matter to me because I absolutely love it so I should just go ahead and do it :)

I discovered this channel, particularly this video, by pure chance; and im so, **so** grateful i did. I struggle with depression and borderline debilitating anxiety, and it was starting to make me doubt my writing. This felt like a warm hand pulling me up out of that pit, a reminder on why what i'm doing is important. Thank you for making this.

You are on a path that is very difficult for others to follow. you are forced to write, expecting no benefits , if not, you will fall sick. Nature is pushing you hard coz it trust you more and finds you as the medium to speak about things that are subtle and deep. Trust your spirit and hold the pen. There are more characters waiting in the dark to find expressions through you.

Just recently found your channel, Thank you for teaching us your ways sensei 🥸

❤❤

Thank you for your amazing insight. What I got from this video is that a negative change arc can be just as effective as a positive one, especially if the characters' experiences, background and emotions are fully explored. It's true that people don't always overcome their wounds. Sometimes, they get worst instead of getting better. It's worth keeping in mind if I ever go back to writing again.

❤❤

Thank you. This is what I've been looking for!

I'll write a book one day :) I have a goal of just giving thanks to those that inspired me. Giving them a quote or some type of appreciation in the beginning.
