a realistic week in my life as an author and editor

[@anartisttravels9279]

Hey Kate, could you make a video on how your output has changed since Jan 2020? Like since narrowing your focus (not nannying, etc), do you feel you've been able to put out more books, etc? And in general, a talk about balancing jobs? Thanks! x

[@Katesbookdate]

Absolutely!

[@anartisttravels9279]

@@Katesbookdate amazing, thank you!

[@folklauratales]

I started reading Forgotten Scars just because. Then I realized it takes place in a. City where I’m from and I was like “hey my friend went to that college the main character goes to” 🤣 thanks for the recommendation Katie!!

[@thebookbujo]

It’s been ages since I’ve watched a video of yours and I missed you so much 😭😭 started watching your content when I was in college and I’m currently studying for my Master’s degree which is insane! Proud of how far we both came !! ❤️

[@EmilyMcCosh]

Yay another vlog!! I would definitely cry if I lost half the editing work, wow. At least you liked the book!

[@caoimhe1427]

The starbucks clip gave me such college vlog nostalgia!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Same😭

[@xiomysbooktales6279]

Oh, I've had that issue with Microsoft so feel your pain, I cried and contemplate life! Lol! Also, I have to admit you are an inspiration to me with all the hardwork you put in and all the released books! Congrats on that as well!

[@craftblend]

Hey Kate! Great video. You inspire me so much and I love how you share your process. I would have thrown a fit if my editing just disappeared, so power to you for just pushing through that lol. Btw, your little apartment is so cute! Any tips on organizing/interior design?

[@jeremyfee]

Nice reflection video. Congrats on getting so much published this year!

Hi again. I really don't like it when the laptop/computer does that. Well, I know that you will sort things out. And I am also trying to do that, with 500 sprint words within 30 minutes, but I end forgetting to colour the circle. And today was a good day of writing process for me, managed to write 2000 odd words as rough draft in 2 hours. I would have done it quickly but couldn't because I kept on forgetting how to spell curtain words. I think it is because this week wasn't good for me because I ended up getting and infected left eye on Tuesday, but luckily I was off the rest of the week. Did help out today, being Saturday but tomorrow got off to give more rest to my eye. But it was hell, just trying to use 1 eye to read or write something down. Even though half the time, I ended up sleeping.

Kate!! Tell me why Reginalds name changed to Reid at the end of the book!!! Lol. Loved it though.

[@SophiaAlexisBooks]

If I’m remembering correctly I think he said his nickname was Reid but Valerie didn’t call him that until their relationship developed more.

[@BuffBillsFan83]

@@SophiaAlexisBooks I guess I missed that lol...I searched through half the book looking for any reference to Reid because I was confused and tried googling if Reid was a common nickname for Reginald and came up empty. Thanks!

[@Katesbookdate]

@@BuffBillsFan83 chapter 5, I believe :)

[@BuffBillsFan83]

@@Katesbookdate it's a good development lol Reid is way better name than Reginald.

[@abbeyg5339]

I’ve just got from a stressful night shift so thanks for video for helping me wind down! :)

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

The part in the car reminded me of your college vlogs, it feels like such a long time ago :- ) Yeah sometimes I need to stop working in the evening and leave it for the next day because I literally can't read the text anymore 😂

[@tara3827]

uuu new vlog how did I only see this now 💕💕💕

[@EmmaGillers]

I’m only halfway through the vlog but I had to stop and pause to say, the same thing happened to me with Microsoft word mid editing client (this week too!) So frustrating!!

[@Katesbookdate]

That’s so odd! Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, and I’ve been using Word for like 14 years lol

[@megankirrmann6624]

Still a rough draft.....what author has NOT done that??? Yet.....you still ROCK as a writer....

[@abbeyg5339]

I love long vlogs!

[@coollittleme]

Could you make a video discussing how you get audio narrators and how much that costs?

[@Katesbookdate]

I actually do have a video all about how I make my audiobooks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqvYkHxjj9Z3eLM

[@lucia5280]

What are your thoughts on other booktubers reviewing your book? Just random question that popped into my head. 😅

[@Katesbookdate]

No opinion either way! Just want my books to be treated/viewed the same as any other author’s instead of a “booktuber book” ya know

[@ammalyrical5646]

I'd love to try The Marionettes, but my copy still hasn't come in even though I preordered. And I can't get the Kobo version of the ebook (if you published that)

[@Katesbookdate]

Oh that’s odd! Where did you preorder from?

[@antekpiekutosky818]

Beautiful ! ❤️ Very nice Vlog, great clip...you can learn and see a lot from it.. Can You make clip.. Organisation, cleaning office desk - Declutter Paperwork in home or your office?

[@justynajosha4118]

Hi! Did you have to read Natalie's book 1 and 2 in order to edit book 3 and 4? Really interested if it works like that 😂

[@Katesbookdate]

Since I’m doing copy edits, no. If we’d been doing something more developmental, then yes!

[@chelsea2591]

I want to become a freelance editor. However, I'm wondering if it's a smart career move in terms of financial stability. Do you have any advice? It's much appreciated.

[@Katesbookdate]

I'd recommend this video if you haven't seen it yet :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJCqlH-upqmApa8
