Book Diary - The Concept - Part 2

Welcome to a video diary of my process of writing a novel. In these videos I will talk about the challenge for becoming a first time author.

[@joeycarrot]

I am not talking about characters in the book or where it is set yet.

[@doomsday3659]

Can you please tell us what the novel is gonna be called? Do you know?

[@eoghandeasy5249]

It'll be magic

[@maiad4855]

I don't think he's decided what to call the book yet but I'd like to know to once he does

[@rockstar3k406]

can you name the characters?

[@sumsup2002]

How do you get inspiration?

[@lazuligamez3513]

I remember Saving the World. I enjoyed the episode, don't get me wrong, but it brought out one of the things that I feel most could be improved with the Lovely World series: making the Hit The Target episodes feel more connected to the let's play. It's probably hard to balance roleplay with Let's play, but I feel it would improve Lovely World if you added a bit more roleplay. HitTheTarget videos kind of just happen, then nobody thinks about it afterword. Nobody even really thinks about when the next HitTheTarget attack will happen. I'd think after years, Stampy Cat (the character, not the youtuber XD) would finally get the clue that strange occurrences mean that he should start investigating before it has the time to become a problem. Nowadays, I just wanna grab him by the scruff of his neck and say, "seriously, ya dumb cat, get in your head that there is an evil guy constantly setting up traps for you." It's not a huge problem, I very much enjoy Lovely World, but it's something that would be able to make the roleplay and let's play mesh better. Honestly, just having them mention some of these incidents in passing conversation would probably be a huge step in the right direction. Sorry that I wrote so much. It's just a bit of criticism I've had on my mind for a little while. I think though that your doing great! Honestly, take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm still a novice at writing stories XD.

[@joeycarrot]

I understand what you are saying. The issue is that in a "standard" episode I am really just being me. There are small parts when I am being a character but really it is just me being me, talking to you (the viewer). If the Hit The Target stories were throughout then I would have to sustain being a character throughout. I wouldn't like to do that. I like having special one off episode that people don't know are coming. Then Stampy all but forgets about it.

[@lazuligamez3513]

I understand. My favorite parts have just always been the HitTheTarget episodes, so I guess it's just strange to see them dissolve into nothing afterwords.

[@Short-story-long-yt]

Omg I’m early so let me say stampy I’ve watched you when Gregory was alive so I feel old. I am a teenager and I still watch you every time you upload. Keep up the good work. Your good fan, Lauren

[@TheWhovianWizard]

Same! Accept i first watched number 42 unexpected drama, Gregory died by then :(

[@gregkaltenborn3323]

Same for me I was a little kid when I first watched Stampy now im this 16 year old teen who still watches him

[@isabellajgz]

I'm so happy to see the progress of your book. You constantly inspire me so much and to see you pursuing this helps encourage me. I'm not going to watch the entire video becuase I want to know nothing about the book when I read it, but hearing that you're almost halfway through is amazing!!

[@eoghandeasy5249]

Stampy is a rare KZbinr who can spark some wonder and beauty in your soul. Thank you so much.

[@SteveHanky]

12 chapters is 2 weeks. That's fast

[@mittenspaw5956]

This book sounds good. From the comparison with Micky mouse driving a car and then goes into a tree, the first theme I would watch that I would think "okay, that was odd" and then later on in the day I would be like "wait a minute... Why was he driving into a tree? Did he not see it? Why did he have a car? Is he okay now?" And I love things like that! Also, don't lose motivation. I love writing stories but more often than not I lose interest in writing it. Try playing, watching or drawing things to do about the book, it helps me.

[@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 know I posted this comment last episode but I wanna know XD

[@joeycarrot]

I am not talking about characters or the world yet. The book will be illustrated but is not a "picture book". I don't have a publisher but I am hoping to have finished the book by early next year.

[@dathankinser6]

stampylongnose, okay thanks! 😁

[@mittenspaw5956]

That Gaming Fox I'm 100% sure that there will not be minecraft in it. From what Stamps has said, it sounds like an original piece, no minecraft or youtubers.

[@mystixii5811]

Making your story more realistic is a really good idea. That's what'll make you stand out from most authors. Instead of leaving the important details out, you will elaborate on them. I never really thought about that before, but now that you mention it, I like it. I wish more authors would add more information like that. I really wish you luck with this story. I really do hope it goes very far once it comes out! :D

[@charonrose3306]

Congrats on your progress! Sounds cool. Can't wait :) love you stamps

[@maevee3846]

That saving the world video is my favourite video of yours. I think it’s really clever and it genuinely made me shiver.

[@Ignorethis12345]

I'm just thinking about characters jumping out of holes in books now....

[@mustachemiss1983]

I’m really excited to see the finished product of this book. And I’m also glad to see Stampy expand out of what he usually does. GO STAMPS GO!!

[@onesixsixidktm2969]

That's actually an interesting concept. Look forward to see how the book turns out.

[@demi-godjediathogwartsrapp9938]

i'm so excited about this book!! like stampy is just so creative and ahh i know it's going to be amazing.

[@sarinagrace5403]

I love the idea you are going for with the book. It is an amazing and unique perception on things that I am sure will not only entertain readers but also get them to think. I have always loved the creativity in your videos and I cannot wait to see more of it in your book

[@somebodysomewhere78]

Hi Stampy! You were literally my whole childhood and I talked about you non-stop! And I still do! You are seriously awesome. I watched you since elementary and now I'm in high school! Stampy 🐱 u r amazing!!!

[@boosheerin]

This honestly sounds very interesting, and I can't wait to learn more about it. Your creativity in videos is outstanding, so I'd love to see what your written work is like!

[@BlissAnimations]

Yes! Stampy talks about my favorite Hit The Target episode!

[@hoos8855]

Dear Stampy You have been in my childhood for more than 6 years you and dantdm are my idles

[@idolmage4649]

I really love your mentality when making a story. You put a lot of thought into it, and after a while the story will write itself (not really, but you know what I mean).

[@sammalkie1707]

It's very good to present the idea of a moral grey area to your younger views, it teaches them how to think for themselves and not follow someone blindly. It seems like the story is going to follow the classic Hero's Journey formula while also having that goofy and creative Stampy style, but with some mature themes sprinkled in. Sounds amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@scottscherr171]

Sounds like your plot is going to be very interesting! Can't wait to hear all about it.

[@greygust3936]

You're making me want to write a book

[@Nyxiality]

Stampy your my fav youtuber. I love you as a individual you think so positive and you always follow your dreams and help others. It would be a honar to meet you but ik i wont bc i live in texas. But you keep being you follow your dreams live life to the fullest

[@LinWarai]

I can’t wait to read it! This concept is so interesting!!

[@Lol-sg6sx]

Excited for your book definitely looking out for it once it comes out :-)

[@_madelinepearson]

Ugh this is gonna be so good. I can’t wait.

[@ChiPandaAndKeegan]

I Once Created A Story When I Was 7 About A Group Of Dogs That Were Vigilantes And Brought Justice To Criminals. I Really Enjoyed Writing It When I Was Young Because I Could Make It An Adventure Story With The Comedy Of A Bunch Of Talking Dogs. When I'm Older, I Want To Go Back To It, And Really Make A Fleshed Out Version Of That. I've Writen Other Things Since I Was 7 But I've Never Loved A Writing As Much As That Concept.

[@sheezusx2]

I really don't read much at all, mainly because I can't focus. However, this sounds really interesting, and I can't wait to hopefully read it. 😊 I write as well, so I do relate to these book diaries. I love how much work you're putting into this, though, and it says a lot. I love your ideas, and I'm constantly amazed by your creativity. Keep up the great work! 💛

Its really how many people think they’re first. Btw really pumped for this book, cant wait to read it some day!

[@JenniferAveryDJ]

I'm super excited for the book! I'm actually writing one myself (And failing) and it's a lot of fun. I just do a little bit at a time, or really, whenever i get an idea of what should happen next xD

[@Chloe-nl5tw]

[@AweEmperorofChickenKilling]

Cool concept and I think I'm going to have to watch "saving the world" too.

[@Flizz8]

Amazing stampy it would be a success 🎉

[@JustAlfiee]

Good Video Stampy

[@sarahzaritsky1629]

What do you mean we? Is it just squaishey or have you gotten some sort of editor? I am very excited about the book 😀

[@whitezen3453]

your the best!

[@aj-a729]

Stampy's book already sounds interesting!!!

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

But how would you start a story like that? It sounds really interesting and I really want to do one of those stories but where do you start? And, how do you explain what happened like, the Mickey Mouse example, how would you tell the reader how he does human things or why he has a car etc? And, how does that create a story if it’s answering questions? How do you make these questions into a story long enough to be a book or do you answer multiple? If anyone has any help or tips then they will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@joeycarrot]

If it was that example you would start it by telling the story of Mickey Mouse driving the car into a tree. That was a very basic example. The idea is basically putting logic behind parts of a story that don't normally have logic. Another example could be a musical. Why does everyone start singing? How do they all know the words? Where does the music come from? It is still just the premise though. You need to build the rest of the story around it. Toys come to life when you are not in the room. That is the premise for Toy Story but it's not the story.

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

stampylongnose - Thank you so much! This really helps! (Hope Alyx and her wasp sting are better!)

[@mena5090]

@@thedayaftertomorrow5950 huh? Alyx got a wasp sting?! Oh no. Hope she's ok.🙂

[@thedayaftertomorrow5950]

Mena Marie - Either a wasp or a bee sting while recording a Stardew Valley video. Stampy heroically caught it under a cup. They said on Sqaishey’s latest video!

When is the book coming out? Ps cannot wait for its release!!!

[@GavinsBazaar313]

Sounds like a really interesting take on a normal standard book. You said it can be enjoyed by everyone, does this mean there will be stuff that even an adult can enjoy?

[@joeycarrot]

That is the plan. It will be suitable for all ages but not purely aimed for children.

[@GavinsBazaar313]

@@joeycarrot That is such a relief. I was worried it would just be purely for children, which is also why I stopped watching Lovely World and moved onto your other series such as the Quest and Splatoon videos etc. I'm very looking forward to seeing what you come up with, as the idea of explaining the little things is very good for a story, gives the world more life and the characters less like characters and more like real people/animals you can see. I also love writing stories so to see someone else put details in their books is very good to see! Also you would not believe the biggest smile on my face right now that you've commented, this is the first time!

[@GavinsBazaar313]

I cant wait untill it comes out!

[@x_shadowslayer_x]

It’s nice that Stampy is being more responsive to his comment section. It’s funny how I’m starting enjoy the Behind the Scenes more than Lovely World. I still of course like to watch his Lovely World, but you know nothing lasts forever. I do have to agree that Saving the World is the best Hit the Target episode and maybe even the best episode in the Lovely World to some extent. I’m just happy as long as Stampy is enjoying what he’s doing. On a speperate note, the book sounds like it’s coming along nicely. I really can’t wait to buy it eventually and read it. I do have question though. What is the age demographic? Like, how difficult would it be to read for a certain age? Anyways, it sounds like the novel is going to be going to be breaking a few common stereotypical tropes with stereotypical tropes which is definitely might be funny and break a fee 4th walls.

[@joeycarrot]

The book is 8+.

[@clipsmasterproductions7479]

Sounds cool!

[@Abrewt]

Stampy I always used to watch your videos when I was younger and I just want to say you are a good person and I always wanted to say what’s up and see if you responded!!! Edit- stampy can you make fortnite videos I would love if you did!

[@imong.mama777]

Please let there be cress in the book. Also, when it's released, will it be released internationally? Or can we get it online or something? Cuz im in asia and I really want to be able to read it when it comes out.

[@joeycarrot]

I will try and ensure it's available as an E-book. I don't have a publisher yet.

[@imong.mama777]

Mickey is an average worker. He gets minimum wage and is lonely. It took him years for him to get his small little van. One day he was so tired from work he fell asleep in the car and woke up in a second. The person in front stopped as he fell asleep and Mickey crashed into him. There was so much force that Mickey flew out of the windshield. Mickey ended up dead on the road. AKA The 5 second Mickey episode. Like if you enjoyed.
