Book Diary - How I Started - Part 1

[@DuffyLONER64]

I can't wait for the book, I'm definitely purchasing a copy once it comes out!

[@greygust3936]

I kind of want to get it but I don't know if I could

[@davidatkinson1852]

Same

[@villan7h]

Me too!!

[@heavybrainrot]

totally

[@nighpaw4651]

Same. Definitely

[@thevoidherself]

I'll buy it! After I get more money from chores....and after it actually comes out...ANYWAY! Dear Stampy, You were the first KZbinr I ever watched, when I was about 5 or 6. I'm going into my teenage years soon, and I haven't watched you since after a few...traumatic experiences ended. You and many other KZbinrs were my coping mechanism after a death in my family, and you all inspired me and many of my friends to start KZbin. I decided to come back and watch a few videos, after hearing about the PopularMMOS and GamingWithJen divorce, and a few other things. I just wanted to say that you were one of the first inspirations in my life. I'll never forget KZbinrs like you. ~Sadie Tube

[@1st1anarkissed]

I think this is great. It's rare you get a look into an author's process. Authors are usually solitary folk and until recently, vlogging and such was a challenging and expensive endeavour. I will be tuned in.

[@juliettebravosprteam4072]

Excited for the book!! You’ll be a great author.

[@jocicorn]

Yay! I love reading and Writing! I am writing a few books at the moment, and I also love drawing! I do 30 minutes of reading time before I go to bed, too! You're awesome!! Have an amazing day, -Joci

[@MdHossain-ve5kb]

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

I’m definitely going to get your book, as I know it will be funny and really good because your videos are hilarious! I’m glad you aren’t telling us about any of the characters and settings because it makes it more exciting and I can’t wait! Thanks for sharing all of your tips and how you plan it etc. You’ve really inspired me, just from this video, to write a book but I know by tomorrow I’ll hate it and want to start again! Was this series title purposefully meant to be a bit ironic? *Book Diary* when a diary is a book... anyway, I do hope you add a map as it helps me understand where the are etc. and so do pictures, like in Stacy’s where it shows the characters and inside their house to get a feel of what it’s like so you can imagine them there. Once again, thanks for sharing this, even if you think this was boring, it was really interesting and I can’t wait for more. You deserve a cup of tea for all that talking!

[@mathiasjk7118]

You make me so happy

[@TheMalikVideos]

Stampy is the best youtuber and its not up for debate

[@dylanreid7186]

I've also been trying to write a book... but im 14, so school is really in the way. Been thinking about the plot for more than a year. Good Luck Stampy. and im relating so much to everything you say

[@Kenoboi_42]

Great job stampy I started watching you 3 years ago. Never stopped

[@NovaSoBored]

It was so cool to see you passionately talk about the ideas, maps, drawings, story plots, etc for the novel. I seriously cannot wait to read it

[@_madelinepearson]

I absolutely love following along with someone in their writing process. I’ve had a few ideas here and there, but I get so distracted and burnt out easily that it will probably be a long time before I go through with any of them. I admire your determination and I look forward to bonding with my little brother over these books.

[@freddiefulton1968]

So excited for this book!

[@tomg1plays664]

Yes

[@hunterkraft5043]

I have written several books. Or at least short stories. I have a lot of fun writing them but they all seem to be really childish since my main subject across all of them is magic and abnormal things

[@thelastshotyt9074]

I make Short Stories too. There super fun and get me something to do, it's basically my version of the October Expansion on Splatoon 2... If you know what that is

[@quillquail]

Yhea I write stories on splatoon and sonic basically explaining and fixing things those series don’t. And I love magic! One of my original stories is based a lot around magical things. And I don’t consider it childish. As long as you have fun it’s amazing!

[@nerdnerd5327]

I don't think writing about magical things is childish I don't know if you like harry potter or not but there all about magic and there for many ages if you enjoy making magical books then keep going you could even upload videos where you talk about your books that you create

[@dogski2822]

Same here!

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

Did you know you can publish your books on Amazon! It prints when someone orders it so you don’t have tons spare if it doesn’t sell

[@elderflower2133]

I'm very excited to hear your process of writing this novel, my guy. I fancy myself a writer/illustrator even though I'm only fifteen, and am currently working on the first instalment of a trilogy of books. And you were basically my childhood, so it's awesome to relate to you on this topic.

[@CrispyTeabag]

It's really interesting to see the process of another novelist trying to write their book. I'm writing one right now and I'll keep watching these to see how you're doing.

[@hoonibeatz9542]

Keep up the good work! I write a lot of lyrics so ik how hard it can be to write sometimes. I use to watch you sm when I was younger, I don’t that much anymore but I still enjoy rewatching your old videos and coming back every once in a while to see how things are going.

[@random_user12345]

Hello Stampy! I love ur Zelda vids!

[@kingdre1371]

Hello Mr. Stampy Cat! I love your videos. I also can't wait for the new book to come out (I got your first book at a Book Fair). Keep up the great work! Much luck from the U.S.

[@maiad4855]

Alyx has upgraded from being bae in the corner to being bae on the couch! I still had my eyes on her most of the time, but.. I think it is incredibly brave for you to leave your comfort zone and try something new. Writing a novel takes extreme dedication and patience, and I for one would be afraid to tackle learning a new skill when there are other things I am good at that keep me satisfied. You have always managed to make me smile, and I have no doubt that you'll make us all smile even wider once this book comes out. Thank you for teaching us to follow our dreams and everything else you've done for your viewers. Good luck!

[@elisecyan]

I'm so excited for this. The series came at the perfect time for me xD I have been recently straying away from gaming content and have been watching writing and reading related channels. I'm so happy to have something stampy related that I'm more interested in :) I'm so excited to read the book if it's published.

[@iluvphillip13]

I wonder if you can use this series to recommend books that you have enjoyed? I love that you talk about your own reading experiences, and I hope you inspire more people to read by doing this. Maybe with each new video, share one or two books that you are either reading now or loved when you were growing up? This will also give your excited fans material to read while they (we) are waiting in anticipation for your books to be published!

[@waltzingaranel]

iluvphillip13 I’d love even one video about this topic; maybe a joint video with Stampy and Sqaishey taking about their nostalgic favorite stories and which authors or books influenced their lives would be easiest to make. Books/stories are powerful. They have changed me, for better or worse, throughout my life. I’d love to hear their experience.

[@flyingscotsman7778]

oooooooooooo definitely show us the kid stampy books pls, also super exciting, you definitely come across as being a great writer!

[@christied.9587]

Thank you for sharing! It's great to still hear from you as you go down this new road.

[@carecahill8234]

started watching your stuff years ago when i was in third or fourth grade and loved them. it was like watching a tv show but i liked your videos more than anything on major networks. you had almost a mr. rogers way of connecting to kids but in a more adapted, modern way. i've recently just started freshman year of highschool and have moved on from a lot of the things i loved when i was younger. i used to watch your videos religiously, and now i don't really at all. but sometimes, i'll look you up and just watch a recent episode or just see how things are going. you've got a talent. a talent that can make an angsty teenager (haha) feel like they're going home for twenty minutes. moving on isn't moving away, and i know that if it ever gets to be too much, this little piece of innocence and wonder is still there. if i'm ever stressed about something, i read the first few chapters of the first harry potter book. same goes for your videos. so thanks for being there, even if you'll never see this :)

[@Lol-sg6sx]

Can't wait for your book. I am definitely getting it once it comes out

[@quillquail]

I’m sooo exited for this book!!! Definitely gonna buy it!

[@nonongvelasco8418]

This is so exciting! Can't wait to know more :) . You have my full support! -Fiana

[@jamieukonline]

I can't wait ! I hope it comes to our library

[@captianobvious2319]

Stampy I can’t wait to get ur book you have been a big part of my life I have been watching you since I was 7.i am no 11. You have inspired me to start to make my own videos. If it weren’t for u I would not be the same. You were the first ever you tuber I ever watched and I love ur videos

[@lulcy789]

Stampy, once I show my parents this video, they will start respecting you, and then I can watch your videos more. Seriously, you are EXTREMELY inspirational to me, and I think you're a really smart person! :) :) :)

[@mezzyb295]

I'm definitely purchasing a copy once it comes out! I cannot miss it! 💜

Good luck on your book mate! Love your videos. The Acknowledgements better be called the love garden.

[@LukePrice173]

[@CLMarshal57]

Hi Stampy, first off I know that I am very late on commenting. I just wanted to say this now. And also, I know that you get so many comments from people like this, but I need to add my voice. Stampy, you have quite literally been my childhood. I recently watched the Mr. Rogers documentary, and I was struck by how similar you and him are. The biggest thing that I found similar is how much dedication you and him put in your work with children. Especially by how much time and money you have invested into helping children. I remember your Wonder Quest series came out when I was in six grade. In six grade, I had to learn the order of the planets and had much difficulty remembering. I always screwed up the inner planets. Well, I watched Wonder Quest. And, much to my amazement, there you were with the order of the planets. You helped so immensely, I can’t explain how many times you have brought me away from my demons and into your world. When my family was quite literally falling apart, I came to you. When my dog of 11 years died, I came to you for help. And you did. Oh boy did you help. Lately - ok no - always I have struggled with panic attack’s and anxiety attacks and many mental health issues. But you have been there to guide me from when I was 9. Now, I’m in high school and I still come to you for help. And now look at the both of us. One of us is engaged to a wonderful young lady. Another is continuing to make her mark. Both of us have grown older in the time spent on KZbin. To sum this all up, I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for never stopping in doing what you love. Thank you for helping me learn. Just...thank you.

[@charonrose3306]

Sounds great! Can't wait ! I love when you do the voices for you videos- so you'll make a great audio book! Good luck :) love you stamps

[@baybaythefazbeargirl]

I'll be looking forward to reading it Stampy! You'll do great making it!

[@sweetlemonadartanimations369]

I know you will become the best author EVER!!! 😸

[@dianepoulin5079]

At the beginning right now! I'm really looking forward to watching this series, since I am a teen novelist myself! Have fun.

Hi stampy i have been watching u sence 1st grade and now im going to 5th u have been a big part of my life thank u

[@emeruthbiengot4185]

Oh wow, definetely getting it on amazon! 😍😘

[@BlissAnimations]

I want to help you make this so bad Xp I can't wait! Whatever the story is it is going to be awesome. I myself am working on a big story project so I think I'm going to find these videos really fascinating.

[@nerysstuart4210]

Stampy, what you were saying about imagination when reading a book is something I've been trying to get along to my classmates. It was the main point of my persuasive essay (books vs movies) last year, and I'm just happy you think the same way :)

[@brycetonkin672]

Love the idea of building the sets so that we can get a feel for your vision!

[@ryanfieldhouse5090]

Love the vid make more of these!

[@HAVgiraffe]

Totally cool that you want to keep some stuff about the book secret and will definitely read it despite my "advanced" age. Lol. I'm just super excited about it!

[@Faxcts]

Woooowww

[@josh2407]

I'm actually really excited for this! You're giving me more motivation to keep writing

[@utherteasdale933]

This was super interesting looking forward to the book release and the series

[@theroyalsubject9755]

Hi Stampy, I'm glad that your writing a series and even though I'm still not an author it's an aspiration of mine. I write a lot in my spare time and I found a tip that might help. I warn you it is an annoying tip. Instead of editing completely re-write the story. I don't know it will help you as everyone is different but I use it and it really does help me. Hope you have fun writing your book.

[@Spyderrock]

I Really hope this gets published!!! Good luck stampy!!!!

[@rue5657]

Definitely going to get this book stampy. You’ve worked so hard :)

[@waltzingaranel]

Thanks for the writing update! Queries: will you share the name of the book series that hooked you when you started reading for an hour at night? I understand why you might not share that information in the video; Doesn’t have to be an endorsement. Just curious. Also, you’re writing a juvenile fiction adventure novel, do you enjoy reading any particular author or series in that 8 to 12 age range? You’ve already mentioned how much you enjoyed Stacy’s first book, Wild Rescuers: Guardians of the Taiga, in a previous video. ❤️ Is there any illustrator’s style that you enjoy? I’d love a hint about how you imagine your characters will look. Illustration and maps have always been one of my favorite parts of a book whether they’re drawn by Tolkien or DiTerlizzi or Selznick, to name a few of my favorite authors/illustrators. Please answer any or all questions, as you please. Thank you. I work in a library; I’ve always enjoyed reading all genres of books but never tried to write. Too intimidated. I think it’s admirable that you’ve made a habit of reading every day. Kudos on all that you’ve achieved so far. So much work, but it’s good for your fans to see that anything worth doing is worth a lot of effort. I’m looking forward to hearing about your writing process and someday reading your series and seeing them here on our shelves.

[@iluvphillip13]

I always loved the maps in the Hobbit series, and also the Narnia series. If I remember correctly, wasn't there also a great map or two in Watership Down? That's another book I need to read again. :) Wonderful comment, waltzingaranel!

[@waltzingaranel]

iluvphillip13 I ❤️ The Chronicles of Narnia! There is a map in my copy of Watership Downs. It really helps picture the journey. Who goes anywhere on foot nowadays? It’s inspiring to imagine. Goodreads has a list of Fantasy Books with Maps; a quick google search found it.

Afternoon 📚 Great video, and always interesting to hear the thoughts, process, and backstory from another author 😄 Let me give you a tip, piece of advice, call it what you will. Right now, your enthusiasm is through the roof, and rightly so. It’s always exciting to start scribbling,or typing, on the blank page with something new. There will be times when you will stare at the screen for ages, annoyed because it isn’t working as you expect it to. From what I know of you, through your videos etc, you don’t strike me as the type of person who will let the slower moments get to them too much. Don’t be afraid to walk away for a bit. You’ll know when it’s correct, for you and your story, because the words will flow easily. Saying that, though, hard writing makes great reading 😂😂 Yes, inspirational messages for authors, because I know you love them so much 🤣🤣😉

[@sumsup2002]

great job on creating this book so far, sadly I don't have a lot of patience but my creativity flows a lot.

You are the best stampy you made my childhood

[@dathankinser6]

Stampy, Here are some quick fire questions 1: Is there going to be several youtubers in it? You don’t have to announce there names though. 2: will it be based in the world of Minecraft? 3: If it is will it only have stuff that’s already in Minecraft or will it have more stuff in it? 4: I know you said you wouldn’t make it a picture book, but will you have tiny little pictures such as a little picture of you fighting a spider in the bottom corner? 5: will the book be based in your lovely world? 6: when do you think it will be published?

I’m so glad that u might make a audiobook of it I love audiobooks and it would be way better if you read it :)

[@iluvphillip13]

Stampy I'm so excited for you! I have 2 thoughts: (1) Make sure you find a good editor ASAP that will be a huge help to you during your process - don't wait until the whole thing is done. (2) JK Rowling started much the way you are now, hadn't written a book before Harry Potter and had trouble for a while getting a publisher... she was at more disadvantage too because she was completely unknown and began long before the internet. Her struggles may be inspirational and educational for you as you do this. Often the best books are ones that "write themselves" -- don't be too surprised if a character does something you don't expect while you're writing! :)

[@DerrickDraws]

okay so I know you already addressed that you'll try not to but please don't get kiddy don't be afraid to take risks it'll make the book so much better! good luck i'm really hyped

[@readingwithelizabeth993]

I have written many short stories since the time I was 6. I am now trying my hand at a novel, like you! I am 59 pages in, and I have NO idea what should happen next. Also, Stampy, I find reading lots of novels helps me figure out what the format should be.

Hey just watching this series now and I reckon your much farther in by now but I think it's cool your writing a book and I bet it'll do well.

[@catdemoness]

I have written one book when I was in 6th grade then as i got older i rewrote it after my son was born when I was 18 it started as a child book now it's a teenager adult one but I still love how it turned out I don't plan on publishing anytime soon myself but I am also working on a second book too lol good luck to you stamp keep going :)

[@galleryg998]

Stampy, be aware, your book will probably have inspiration from the video games you play, especially story wise, and that’s really good! So be aware of whether your inspiration comes from the books you read, real life, or games, and it’ll be cool when you read the final copy and see where the inspiration came from!!
