I have a bunch of character ideas, scenes, and random blurbs of stuff that I don't know how to incorporate into a coherent story. I hate the feeling of being stuck before even beginning. Also, the last tip about not killing the darlings reminded me of how everyone loves ghibli movies because of these random quiet moments between all the beautiful storytelling. So I agree. Don't cut off these small moments, especially if the pacing isn't being hindered that hard

my own version of the last tip is "embrace the cringe". Some may find my dnd-ish fantasy romance novel cringe, but I WANT to write the characters to be overly emotional fanfiction-style, I want to employ my favorite tropes and so on. I'm not even going to publish this novel, I'm writing it purely for my own enjoyment, as a hobby, like I used to do as a kid. (Though fanfiction readers or tumblr users could very well like this style and story, it's not like I'm not doing my best). However as I'm writing I notice stuff I wanna word better, or add, to better convey what I meant. I write my notes in a separate document (I write the novel by hand actually) and I am going to incorporate them when I edit and type the novel into a digital document.

Write your book and then don't just go editing it a day or week later... give it and yourself a break... I wrote my first draft in January and now I'm going to edit it next month... it'll help me pick out my childish mistakes... some things that I wasn't able to explain like I wanted... it's not that to stop writing or something... start your other project or an idea that pops into your mind... [honestly, my father wants to see it in a book more than I do hehehe] LOVE YOU ANA~ ❤♾

The last tip is interesting. On the one hand, I really don't like the normalization of hiring a professional editor because it's basically gatekeeping who's allowed to be an author based on class (I cannot afford an editor, for example). But on the other hand, if I published the slop I spit out in a first draft I'd die of embarrassment. I also find a lot of my best story decisions come from editing and second drafts. There's definitely something to be said about a healthy middle-ground where you edit it yourself, but edit it the same way you wrote it, which is to say: for yourself, not an audience.
@ananeu
@ananeu 4 ай бұрын
yes! u worded this so well. finding a ‘middle ground’ is important. you should edit your story so it becomes more of the book YOU want to tell. the idea about class is so interesting too. how things are so unaccessible for people, especially younger aspiring authors or single mothers for example.

To be frank with you, contributing to the arts is a mark of social class since antiquity. If the artist cannot fund his/her own art, then he/she must be sponsored by a benefactor. Someone must pay for the production of the art. Reading and writing were historically a mark of social class because the activities distinguished the aristocrats from the commoners who just had to work the fields all day. On a personal level, creative writing takes a lot of time and effort and diligence to produce one work of fiction that may quickly get rejected. So, a lot of creative writers have a day job that pays the bills or a supportive family member that pays the bills. In the world of publishing, the traditional publisher takes a risk, a gamble, on the first-time author, and if the business flops, the publisher may be unwilling to invest again. If you really really really want to see your little book in print, then you may have to go into self-publishing. Then all costs are on you to produce a commercial product. And if you do not want to hire an external editor, then you have to self-edit and take the risk. There are a lot of self-edited and unedited stories on the Internet, and they do get readers. Whether the stories are commercially viable... that's another story.

Hello Ana Neu, I am a young teenager looking to write a book and you have been a big inspiration for me. Whenever I get an idea for a book, I don't know how to word it or explain it. I am a visual writer as well so whenever I watch your videos it always helps me, whether I'm in the draft, or not. I really want to be a writer and if I ever become successful ill always tell them who inspired me and helped me write my books ❤

I love the last tip. I like the idea of getting back to writing as an artform, not as something that needs to sell and appeal to everyone. I'm new to writing and I struggled a lot with sensoring myself or editing as I write, because of the pressure I put on myself, so the last tip and the concept behind it, really helps with that. Thank you ana!
@dukeofdenver
@dukeofdenver 4 ай бұрын
Ana, I think you should look at editing less as "making the story objectively better" and more of "what effect do i intend the story to have on my reader?" There are helpful tools for achieving an intended emotional effect on the readers mind, and that is what we call writing craft. If i intended my book to be a fast paced action thriller, and a 100 readers are falling asleep in chapter one, i have clearly failed at some or all of my intended effect. There are ways to alter that emotional effect by doing certain things. Doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad book, its just not latching unto the commonly used tools to create the "fast-paced thrill" effect that i wanted. Same as if you intended your book to have a great love triangle, or for the reader to have sympathy for one side character, or a compelling villan etc. 😂 There are common tools available to achieve that effect on your readers. That is the editing process. I think, fundamentally, if a writer makes it harder to get through reading their book, less people are going to finish that book. If a chef makes it harder to enjoy his meal, less people are going to enjoy his meal. No one owes an artist their time. If they're going to spend time on my art, i owe it to them to trim as much fat as possible.

Knowing the message is SO important. You don't need to have something 100% concrete or 100% perfect when you start out, or even after you finish the first draft, but having something to act as a lighthouse through the chaos of creation is incredibly helpful. Like my current main project The King of Leaves (not for April since I'm working on camp-not-camp) was a bit of a mess before I figured out the theme- why people put pressure on themselves for other's sake and the consequences of doing so- but now that I know it I can let it guide me through plotting. And about the quotes- I'm actually doing that this month, sorta lmao A mix of that, poetry, and various in-world story excerpts to stick in the beginning for a different project of mine. As well as three short stories I've yet to touch. I may have bitten off more than I can chew! Awesome advice as always, Ana! I disagree with the editing portion, but we all have different ways of doing things and that's totally okay!

In the past few years I left the music industry and started my writing degree. The last tip you suggested makes me think of the bands I worked with, I was told that some weren’t marketable but if I enjoyed the band and thought they had potential, I would ignore the haters and help the band. Turns out my instincts were correct. You have made me realise it’s not so different when it come to writing, if you enjoy reading a section of your writing (that you think may have to be cut to make everyone else happy), find the potential in that section and draw it out using a different perspective or technique. I hope this makes sense 😂

Thank you so much ana. I've been watching your videos often to help me look over what mistakes I've made and what I need to improve. I'm very new at writing and I want to try it out for the best. I was stuck at an obstacle which made it hard for me to have time with writing, adding onto that I also have been trying to improve my mental health. Depression and emotional suppression have got to me in so many ways, but I still push on to complete my book for everyone to see :) I am very grateful for your videos, and I wish you great success with your book!

No like Ana I completely understand. My book is so long like it's going to be almost 1000 pages but when people ask why I TELL THEM STRAIGHT UP, it's hugely character driven in the previous era of their lives and up to when they meet and actually are around each other to a certain pivotal point that changes their entire relationship. MEANING THERE'S A LOT OF CONTENT AND IT IS NOT BORING, TRUST ME, THE GENRE IS DRAMA ROMANCE. This book has been my baby for 7 years, since I was 12. It's part of my soul, and to have to cut scenes out or change the story for the PUBLIC. No. I'm writing this story how it's meant to be, for me, and whoever reads it and likes it or doesn't that's their opinion. I don't care if it's long, if it's short it isn't my story. ❤

The tip about having a theme or reason for your book is so real. I had a book before that, although I had slaved away at worldbuilding and characters and all the things that are supposed to make a book, it just felt so empty or like a shell of a book.

I wrote my first book (novella) 10 yrs ago. I wrote it intuitively and the characters were in my head for a long time. I did have it edited for grammar/ typos but did not want anyone changing my lines etc. Right or wrong I feel the same way as this is my art and I threw it at the world. If people responded fine if not ok. So now I have been working (in my head) on something else and I have been watching tons of writers videos, doing master classes etc to hope to get techniques to improve, but at the end of the day when I finally write this it will, again, be my art. So while I would very much love to be financially successful via my writing- it is what it is. I switched to visual arts the past five years doing mixed media collages. And while I do investigate different materials/supplies etc at the end of the day what I create I create. I work on until I intuitively know that it is done and I me myself and I love it❤

I don't know how you thought about editing before but editing is ALWAYS about making your book better. And to make it better some things will have to change. Editing is a very important process that is part of your writing and should NOT be skipped over! I'm trying to imagine how it would be if all the novels out there would be first drafts or even rough drafts. I would probably loose my faith in reading Oo! Hope you are having a great time in the Netherlands. Sending you much love and good vibes

Hi Ana! I was hoping I could request a video from you! I would love to see a video made about "Authors story bible," I love the concept of that but need a bit more of direction! Also, if we could get more videos of plotting from scratch without softwares, (more paper like, google slides, google docs.)

That’s so devastating that you lost 40k words 😭 I use google docs so I think I’ll have to be cautious lol Thank you so much for the tips! I’ve recently started using Pinterest as inspiration for scenes and not just the aesthetic. Scene cards are a game changer for me!

its so funny to me when plotting out my book because it seems so short; like only 14 chapters. and then you realize how much you can build on it and it becomes like 25+. writing is so enjoyable

I agree with you. The idea that you shouldn’t include details that don’t serve your plot is bull. It takes away personality from the story. There’s more to a story than the plot, having that extra fluff and little moments can help soften up the story.. if that makes sense. If you don’t have any of this extra fluff, it’d pretty much just be, “this is what happened, and this is what happened next.” It’s quite straightforward and right to the point. Which is good in a certain context, but lacks realism or life in your story. Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense.. I’m terrible at getting my point across. Wording my thoughts is not my strong suit.

When I create fake scenarios in my head I'll imagine myself as a published author and like...people interviewing me on live TV 😭😭And the questions my brain come up with is 'why did you write this book?' My made up answer: I like...sort of saw an image on Pintrest. And then an entire world and characters came to me... Question: Why do your characters do what they do? Why do they look like they do? My made up answer: Because...when I imagined their face it just...looked like that. When I wondered what their personality is it just came to me. Like I hardly think about anything when I write my books. Ideas come to me without me doing anything. Whenever I get asked why I wrote the book I always hear people saying super deep themes and messages. I'm over here in the corner sipping on my drink, like...idk man. It just...happened. Like are there messages? I guess. But it didn't start like that. I wrote it because I liked the random idea that came to be with literally one picture. Side rant: the amount of 'likes' in this comment is unholy. I would fix it but I'm currently in a lazy mood 😃

I have a character who I know will fail on his mission, and I kinda want the story to be dark/chaotic academia. I literally have nothing else and my brain just goes blank every time I think about it. :’)

I would say that approach of not editing only works for people who know what they are doing. The painter will have to learn their craft too before they can paint a picture that works on the first try. So, unless you are Stephen King or Brandon Sanderson who simply can write down their story and have no need for much editing, I would highly recommend against the arrogance to think the work is that good on the first try.
