Ana, you're a much braver girl than me. I could never wake up at 5am to do anything, much less write (and film?! iconic). 7am is my limit and even that's early for me. having said that I'm still a morning writer lol. just an 8am morning writer!

[@RhysWrites]

Ana you should definitely publish your books and I love your commitment to waking up at 5am , I started writing chapter 12 of my book at 3:00 am I have been up since 7 😅

[@sincerelyvee]

ahhh ana i LOVE!!🥰 this was so fun to watch omgg and you did so well!!

[@ananeu]

ahahah i knowww😭I feel like i would like to try this again but at 6am instead and without filming…maybe if i build up my immunity - who knows😂 tysm vee xx

[@y-m-x]

I used to wake up at 5am everyday during university. It was a very relaxing productive routine since I'm an introvert, and dorms are not very introvert-friendly, so it gave me a lot of me-time to write and do other things. That being said, now I could not imagine writing as soon as I wake up, even at 10am. I sometimes want to return to the 5am routine, but it's... it's _a lot._

[@ananeu]

wow. this honestly is so inspiring. i totally get what u mean having time to urself🤞💭

[@inspiredby-sx7wy]

How could you sleep with the noise in dorms? (I desperately need advice!)

[@delilahnovak6688]

Ana at 5:47 is literally me when I've been sitting staring at my Chromebook for twenty minutes trying to come up with what to write next and then ending up having two words. 'She nodded.' Poor girl. Ana your commitment to these videos is incredible!

[@anyapotgieter7792]

Wow I love your commitment to waking up at 5am each day to write your book. It shows me how passionate you are about your projects! What an inspiration you are!

[@zaakira0546]

I totally agree with you. ❤👍🏾✨

[@samanthabresaw3269]

I'm definitely an evening/night writer. I'm pretty sure my record is like 3am but it's only because I knew I was nearing the end of my draft so it was worth it!

[@sarah_marie16]

I’m editing my WIP I’m on my second draft I did my zero draft during nano and my first in march and I have it printed out as I go through and edit it’s kinda cringe but there are some really poetic and like good moments. Last line of chap 6: “Death has finally come to greet me.” Entirety of chap 7: “I have never been afraid of the dark, but I have always feared what I would have to come to terms with when I turned in the light.” Last lines in book: “I hope death comes for me soon. Because when I meet her I will not be fighting, I will be starting a war. And I do not care if the world has to burn. That’s it it’s not perfect but is it ever love u Ana💕

[@Jeanietalks]

OMG! You and vee are some of my favorite KZbinrs! I’m so happy to see you guys both doing something together! I hope you guys do more collaborations!

[@yongbokkaee]

ANA YOU WOULD L.O.V.E THE ARTFUL DODGER!! (It’s a show on Hulu) AND THEY EVEN SHOT IT IN AUSTRALIA. I SWEAR YOUD LOVE IT 😭🤍

[@RedGingham]

I just finished my book yesterday and I’m sooooo grateful for you for helping me get through it!! 💕💕

[@veronikabuglyo5456]

Ohh my god, I wanna try it!! I'm just the kind of person who likes to get up early. And it seems logical that in the morning, when you're still tired, you think less about everything while writing, you don't worry and you can't worry about anything, and that's exactly what I need right now. When I write, I always think about whether the readers will like it, whether what is happening here is understandable, etc... But when I completely immerse myself in a chapter or scene and these thoughts disappear, somehow what I write is always much better. So I'm going to try this challenge, maybe it'll even help me write. :3 I love your videos, they help me a lot. I really liked this video, and if you write better in the evening, maybe you should do the same challenge, but in the evening. For example, when you usually lie down to sleep, you don't lie down, but you have to write for an hour. Well, that probably wouldn't work for me xdd.

[@FragrantPigeon]

Definitely gonna try this. One thing I really need to work on is not being so stressed and picky over the first draft. 😮‍💨 Love your content by the way!

[@ananeu]

aww def give it a try!🤍u can do thisss

[@colourpencill6371]

you inspire me so much!! I am a morning person so I definitely need to try this haha

[@marie-clementinemercier2853]

You're so brave! I definitely never be able to wake up at 5! But the idea of wake up earlier to write is interesting. Because I'm a night writer, and I think it's the best and hardest moment fo writhing, cause you have all the problems of the day in your head and the tiredness of the day. So I'll try your challenge but later than 5 am! I love your content by the way, it's so refreshing! I say hi from France!

[@queer_faery]

Honestly can't wait for ur books, Ana

[@TheAuthorNook]

I feel exhausted watching this but also motivated at the same time! Keep up the good work!

[@_Ka1y0_]

you should totally drop your Spotify playlists! they seem so cool, and from what i heard you have amazing music taste!!

[@Personwhosings]

Loved this videooo

[@alannaklainTV]

i usually wake up early (around 6:30) but i’ve never been productive like that lmao, ana bestie keep it going you’re doing amazing 🩷

[@xoxo-28lou]

Love your vlogs

[@tam1770]

this video was so chaotic and i loved every second of it 😄

[@samsbookishlife]

I definitely want to try this myself!

[@Summerstrider]

hey! i don’t comment much, but i just wanted to tell you that i appreciate you and the work you do on this channel. you’re literally my favorite writing youtuber and so aesthetic and your videos feel so cozy and warm, like a hug from a close friend! so ty for the videos

[@ananeu]

AW BESTIE! this comment is giving me such warmth! tysm for commenting and for supporting me and the effort i put into all my videos

[@catycats100]

omg this is literally what I've been trying to persuade myself to do for the past week! looks so tough though!!

[@ashleyswritingcorner]

aotd: i am most definitely a night writer !! but i'm wanting to start trying to write in the morning -- since i feel like my writing has been robbed from me and replaced with school work TT

[@lidhj]

8:30 omg conannn

[@frostyhannah]

I could never wake up at 5 am. I hate the world if I wake up before 8:30 lol. You're so much braver and stronger than me lol

[@MoveoCreativedesings]

I would love to try that, but I just can't no. Soo brave you tried that!!

[@anastasia35816]

Oh no seeing Lightlark on your nightstand gave me a jumpscare. That book is the worst thing I've ever tried to read.🤣 But, love seeing your videos! You always motivate me to keep writing!

[@kiddwentcrazy]

NO WAY I LOVE VEE I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THISSSSSS NOT THAT I DONT LOVE YOU ANNA IM JUST EXCITED THAT YOURE COLLABING AGAIN IFK WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IM A WRITER I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TALK BUT NEVERMIND THAT

[@kiddwentcrazy]

ANA* GEEZE AUTOCORRECT HATES ME IM SO SORRY

[@morphoanddunce]

your sloth slippers are so cute

[@asmrjournals6600]

I am such a slow writer. It's rare for me to get to 1000 words in a day, though a few weeks ago I got to 1000 in an hour (10 minute sprints) and on the first day of Nano, I got 1012 in the whole day, so...pretty happy with that.

[@ananeu]

wow! its sooo insane when we writing speed fluctuates lmaooo. but damn! u go bestie xx

[@phae8815]

i am definitely a night writer i usually write from like 10pm-12pm

[@danibae238]

I could stay UP until 5am and write...but waking up at 5am? Staying in bed is just so much more comfy 😹

[@wizard956]

Im definitely a night writer I just don't have the motivation to get up this early and write 😅

[@morphoanddunce]

i wanna do this

[@peachyeechy]

Ana!!! The amount of time you put in your videos make me feel useless 😂! I love your editing so much! Please tell me you’re publishing soon ❤!

[@ananeu]

awww friend!! this comment has single handedly made my day. thank u sm😭

[@culurien3331]

OMG you're collaborating with sincerely vee?? that's so cool!! I just saw her channel too and subbed to her. You get my sub too!! Best wishes on your project! I'm considering starting a writing YT to help keep me motivated. I don't know though if I can do it or not.

[@seaweedbrain123]

I’m not really either, I usually write around noon or when I’m tired. Also when are you going to publish your books? I need to read them.

[@RhysWrites]

Also what is your new book about, I can relate to you waking up at five am , you looked adorable

[@lilbearblue]

ok imma try this i'm tryna finish my novella by the end of this week

[@ananeu]

OMGGG

[@SeasonwithGrace]

Hey girl, awesome vlog! Going to head over to Vee now and watch hers🤍🤎🤍 By the way, did you move? It looks different😘

[@KhronicallyNostalgic]

I wake up to pray at around 5:00 am everyday(I'm muslim) so I might be able to do this challenge!

[@crowsguard]

hey ana nice vlog it was very calming. do you edit/review your writing? could you possibly post a video detailing your process (prepping, drafting, developmental editing, line editing, proofreading/beta reading, etc.)? Thought it would make a good video but feel free to ignore as you wish :)

[@ananeu]

sounds like an amazing video! i have one already about the drafting process and i have only now considered getting an editor 👀

[@hannahheart1254]

I get up at 5 am in the morning only to get ready for work because I have to catch a bus to get downtown and then catch another bus to get to work that’s on the Air Force base here in Spokane Washington

[@maryamfaiz8787]

Please publish your books i would love to buy and read em! -One of your oldest fans ❤

[@sarajak]

Can you do the “writing for 24 hours” challenge?

[@theykeeptalkingikeepwalkin1330]

On which online platform do u guys publish ur work?

[@tenamesaric8742]

It's ok, I think writers should just lean into their own process! We all have these ideas like: morning writing is better than the evening lne, plotters are better than those who don't outline... Just do you bestie!

[@jadeemily7046]

I can’t wait to read your books one day 😄

[@ananeu]

my heart🥲

[@jadeemily7046]

ahaha, looking forward to ghostcide!!

[@denisemorrison529]

I’m a night writer

[@huntercoleman460]

Think you can do more guitar videos Ana?

[@GunLookism]

For me I can wake up at any time tbh, but there should be a reason... And, to addition of that if there is someone who can call me or make me awake 😭

[@Itsisabella_toca_life]

Pls publish your books when there done girl I would buy the whole Waterstones 😂

[@ananeu]

[@ArtsyNerd4]

50th like can u rate my first sentence of my draft day 3 of asking lol I wake up and I'm breathing hard. This isn't my room. My stare goes straight to the door when someone opens it and yeah the people that walk in have tails suddenly one of them speaks ¨how did you get here ̈ ¨I woke up here¨ and if they think I'm lying I don't give a shit one of the guys whispers to someone but I can't make out what they said

[@ArtsyNerd4]

what do u think ana!!! tysm Ur my idol

[@Rhiannon_C23]

omg! your channel is so motivational! you inspired me to start writing again after putting my idea down for two+ years and basically giving up on it. i actually got the initial inspiration for my first project (project.a.a) from a dream, then built it from there! it can be so interesting yet frustrating too lol.

[@ananeu]

ooo a dream story! how cool😫🤍im so glad i have inspired uu! i hope ur writing is going well🤍I wish u soooo much luck😽and plz keep me updated xx

[@Rhiannon_C23]

tysm!
