Kat: I have such a hard time doing things in chronological order Also Kat: I CANT TAKE THE POST-IT DOWN BECAUSE ITS NOT IN ORDER

[@BrittanyandBooks]

"Thats enough of feelings. Lets go write a book" iconic

[@Piggeroo]

i want "what's the point of feeling emotions if you can't monetize it" on my Gravestone

[@ohsoabby4689]

“what’s the point of feeling emotions if you can’t monetize it” 😂😂😂😂

[@FlexibleTangent]

Daaaa!

[@byteme9514]

spoken like a true slytherin xDDD

[@ender4344]

Lmaooo brilliant!

[@avapaull3814]

Kat: “Holy s*** I might make a deadline?!” When it comes to my writing, I relate to this too much.🤣

[@ender4344]

For me it's not only writing...lol

[@summerbellino]

“Not to be emo on main” is a full-time mood

[@asiah8965]

"what's the point of feeling emotions if you cant monetize them" should be the slogan of slytherin house

[@Nayukuo]

Your enthusiasm for Book is so contagious on so many different levels. I'm excited about Book!! I'm excited that you're excited!!! I'm excited about my own writing!!! Ahh!! Writing is good!! We're in the end game!! Maybe the real end game was the Book that enthused us all along the way!

[@goodkillermusic]

These writing vlogs are so inspiring. I haven't written in almost 3 years, and this is making me want to get back into it.

[@rachael3880]

Jaret Martens I get that My brain went can I do nanowrimo without a laptop?

[@Piggeroo]

honestly i am so impressed with both you and those strong ass post its (also what lipstick were you wearing on thursday because it's 10/10 autumnal)

[@meganhorton6638]

I like how she took a whole minute to address the post it notes.

[@AbiSaad]

omg I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! :D sending tons of good vibes your way

[@briwanderz]

i woke up a grumpy bear today, lacking even the motivation to go make some food... but seeing kat has a new video started to turn that around... then actually seeing the video and i'm all smiles now. thank you Kat.

[@interludegreywaren]

it’s half past midnight and i have school tmrw but there’s nothing id rather be doing more than watching kat’s writing vlog

[@ender4344]

Same. About the school thing. And my finals are in a couple days. Nah, this is good though lol

[@KaiInMotion]

"I don't know if I can finish this week but I can definitely make some progress" this is the right mindset but damn 25 seconds in and the struggle already hits too close to home

[@rainyhammer9235]

I love that these videos have come back. It's inspiring me to really go and finish my book.

[@laurensantos3093]

You rethinking that the kitchen is your favorite room because it has food is SUCH a mood. I'm also going to steal this post-it idea cuz I've got a novel to edit either next month or in December and I want to see the progresssssssss

[@izzy4927]

omg i missed these writing vlogs they were my life force, i used to watch them RELIGIOUSLY! good luck on Book (and Sequel how exciting!) ❤️

[@queendsheena1]

Awww. Look at Katy playing Thanos by snapping those chapters post-its away. So cute!

[@aracelimontoya9511]

"IT'S POST-IT REMOVING O'CLOCK!" YOU GO GIRL!! I'm so happy for you

[@liz-art]

Kat I absolutely love your writing vlogs! and I can't believe you're almost done with book! ahhhhh I really can't wait!!! I've been watching book grow from nothing last year and I can't believe it's almost done

[@amy-suewisniewski6451]

First, congrats on a great week! Second, If you want to see numerical progress without word counts, one thing I do is percentage progress. Since you know how many chapters are in your manuscript, it's easy to turn that into how far along you ate to finishing the book. My current WIP is at 78%.

[@lyricalcanoe]

“wait no there’s food downstairs” -Kat 2019 😂

[@MichaelaWagner]

The fact that your wall is textured and those post its still held onto it for a YEAR... wow. Everyday, simple magic. I love.

[@xzonia1]

Congrats, Kat! You're so close now! We believe in you; just keep writing! I'm very excited to read your completed book, so I'm thrilled to hear you're so close to finishing this part of the process! :) :) :)

[@sarahfickling9699]

I love these vlogs so much! I am so happy that they are back! I’m not a writer but I find that you are so wonderful to watch. I relate to the way you work through things even though we are in different fields. Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your process!!! I can’t wait for more videos!!!

[@victoriamallon7244]

I am hyped! I'm so happy the writing vlogs are back!

[@laurenstobb7453]

I love these videos! I am so happy for you and I'm loving going along with your journey. Kat fighting!!

[@ninanatascha]

So happy that the writing vlogs are back! I missed it so much! You help me to stay motivated🙌

[@scallahan5123]

[@LaHormiguitaLectora]

This vlog has made me so happy. I am excited to see you so excited. Go, Kat! You're almost there!

[@TheBooktubeGirl]

This is so exciting I'm super happy for all your progress! I'm participating in Nanowrimo for the first time this year, so I'll definitely be tuning into all your reading vlogs!

[@MeganTrimble]

I'm so glad you're back to writing vlogs, yours are some of the most inspiring on this whole hellsite!!

[@InkPhoenix13]

I love all your writing vlogs, and they inspire me for my own writing. So thank you so much!

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

I'm already crying I'm so proud of you

[@isabellekaelin3512]

Go Kat! I’ve missed the weekly writing vlogs!

[@jayshannonmiller5052]

Thank you so much for posting these vlogs Kat!!!! They inspire me so much to create and write the story that’s been marinating in my head for a year now. 💜💜💜💜

[@paperback_cat]

OMG I am so hyped for the next writing vlog!!! I love seeing your process. It is just the inspiration I need pre-nano :) :)

[@sofiainez7684]

[@brucedavis191]

[@Monkeyzforever]

Woooo!!! You go Kat! As I'm currently stuck on book revisions myself, it's really cool to see you making such progress, and it's making me want to power through my own book. Thank you for the inspiration! ^_^

[@TheThreeBookshelves]

You have the absolute best writing vlogs. Can't wait for the next one to see you finish Book!

[@melanieniemann4160]

Your excitement in these videos is absolutely contagious. I really need to remember to come back to your writing vlogs when I'm low on motivation.

[@unfortuNate99]

Why have I never seen Kat in glasses before??? I love this relatable queen,

[@goodkillermusic]

I was wondering this too!

[@elliejordan3233]

I'm so proud of you Kat! You have done so much in just this short week. 5 chapters in a few days. YOU GO GIRL!

[@ohsoabby4689]

so SO excited abt your writing and also love the two computer method I think I’ll try that when I’m revising!!

[@jeffblimisinahurry]

AAAHHHH KAT I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU YAY WRITING!!!!!!!

[@VCannDreams]

[@authorgkray]

You are so much more focused and driven than I am lately. Truly inspiring. Go, Kat, go!

[@CamWolfeAuthor]

You’re killing it with the determination Katy 💪🏻 You’re going to nail this book

[@WeAreTheTwintails]

We really missed your writing vlogs, Katy! I'm glad you're back.

[@jadynd.c.8708]

It's 11:55 pm and last night I stayed up till 5 so I'm exhausted but that's how you can tell I'm committed to this channel😍😪

[@palestblue]

I love your writing vlogs so much 💙💜 And wtf you are so fricking beautiful! I am cheering four youuuuuuu, you can do it! Kat 화이팅 💜💙!

[@carolynfagerholm2939]

I have already mentally Pre-ordered Book and Sequel in my head! You can do it Kat! I'm so excited for you!

[@ChelseyFuredi]

I love your personality! This vlog was so much fun

[@AnotsoAwesomeReview]

These videos really do get me in the mood to get back to writing and editing

[@esthermarieandujar]

Love your writing vlogs!! It gives me so much energy to write!

[@booksandbrushes4868]

Love that the reading vlogs are back 😄 I love them and it reminds me how lack I've gotten with writing... Whoopie x

[@avsambart]

You will always have our support and I love these vlogs and I love seeing your face!!

[@EvieReddingWrites]

Yay another writing vlog! I loved your lipstick/glasses combo on the 8th, let me first say... :D NaNo can put me in a weird mindset too of output=progress. I did a whole pep talk on how I hope I don't fall into thinking like that again this year. I really enjoyed those hanging lights too...I'm all here for those chill vibes. For your two computer revision methods, I do something similar, but I do everything in Scrivener by using the "snapshot" function in Scrivener to save my latest chapter on the right side, delete the main chapter in the scrivener file on the right and re-type/revise everything there. Great job with the writing!

[@pianobooks42]

WRITING VLOGS FROM KATYTASTIC?! Legit, your writing vlogs were the soundtrack to my first draft of 2 novels. I've been trying to get back into writing lately, and I'm so excited to see you post about writing again!

[@makennahrose]

Honey, I love you so much! Like you are like one of my biggest inspirations in my writing life. Keep doin what you're doin chica😘😘

[@leah522]

These vlogs make me so happy! :D So glad Book is going well!

[@zulqaifplus6123]

This year, I am not part taking in Nano Wrimo. I feel blessed. Because whenever I rush a book, it ends up being trash. But if I write slow, it turns out a lot better.

[@starrynightfall00]

Yaaay!! You're almost done!! Go Kat!

[@lydiagappa3938]

All hail the queen of the writing video 🙌🏻

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I felt so proud of you just watching those post its come down! :P

[@bellgirl]

Yay for almost being finished, and Yay for 500 videos on this channel!!

[@gjori4704]

I am so insanely proud of you 😍✨🎉

[@broccbadgerbean]

This was an excellent vlog and you are an excellent hooman bean. ♡

[@carolinamarzbookslibros]

I can feel “book” in my hands you are moving forward!!!

[@anab3931]

Tge title of the video made me think you were prepping for Nanowrimo. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to read your book.

[@CareyHAuthor]

I do the same with the type-up! Except I print out a previous draft and make notes all over it and then type it out on Google Docs or Scrivener

[@reddrye6150]

I've missed your writing vlogs so much :) Can't wait to read Book, Sequel and Storyteller someday.

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

GAH SO HAPPY AND PROUD!! Also when you said "what's the point of having emotions if you can't monetize them" I felt that lol. But I'll cry with you, I'll help you edit, I'll chat if you need a break or whatever but just know I'm here for you if you need the things and I am always ready to support you and help you out and hang and stuff!!!

[@andrearoberts2663]

I am sooooo copying your two computer revision method!!!! Never thought of that. Your a genius!

[@AdrienLuz]

These videos really are the best ! Love from France

[@WhereintheworldisLeahJane]

Putting up a post-it for something you just finished so you can take it back down is valid. Ugh I relate to the feeling that you're only making progress when adding wordcount. I love that little green bar on scrivener or the chart in NaNo. The dark shot in the bedroom is aesthetic though so it work. Taking off thenpost-its first thing! Starting your day with a healthy dose of VICTORY, love that for you WHAT A CLIFFHANGER. I think you'll make it

[@Janessarose96]

YOU AND CHRISTINE SHOULD HOST A LIVE WRITING SPRINT!🖤

[@LiNdiii99]

Why is it so satisfying to see you take off these post-it notes? 😂

[@starrynightfall00]

Your writing vlogs breathe life into me :')

[@comfritas]

You and these videos make me want to write SO BAD!!!! Also YOU GO, KAT, I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!

[@IxiaRayne]

Boy, those Post It‘s are strong! 😱 Mine would have been on the floor already 😂🙈

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

We're in the endgame 🙌🙌🙌 we believe in you Kat

[@scrapsogz]

So weird, but have not had any motivation to write for months! But here you go with two videos and all of a sudden i have started plotting a new project for NaNoWrMo😅😅😅 Anyway, VERY happy to see you writing again! So helpful and love to see your progress👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟

[@VegGirl06]

I am so excited to read this book! *squee*

[@jeremiahbok9028]

....Kat's uploading is now matching her nocturnal nature? I know she's joked about being a vampire with the night thing and white skin and all but. Is she joking? I haven't read carry on, but Baz is a vampire, right. Maybe she's excited about the representation?

[@kat1558]

yes, baz is a vampire! also, you definitely should read it, I highly recommend it!

[@SoleilCeline]

Haha I do the same thing! Where you open up a google doc if you need to full on concentrate on one section without jumping to somewhere else in Scrivener.

[@whatever19.]

I just cannot wait for the final version of the book.

[@kaiju6100]

YAS GIRL, I BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU CAN TOTALLY FINISH BOOK!!

[@CodeNameNerdy]

Ooo sequel already? Also post-it notes are quite amazing! I know I can't wait to read your book when it does come out! I know it's going to be amazing and I'm going to be trash for it, which is an amazing thing! Like I can't wait for Book. Also you need like one of those paper impalers so you can like stab the sticky note down so you really feel like a conqueror?

[@lucymerrill9475]

Yay for book! Also, are you planning on doing a video/reading vlog on Wayward son? ❤️

[@MrGrimlocke]

I watch your nanowrimo videos every year lol

[@clareagrippina6569]

I need to know where you buy your post it notes. Also you edit non chronologically as well?!?!?! What witch craft is this!?

[@juliaseegmuller5686]

I love this video!

[@cloverslaurel7235]

It's okay. I bounce around in my stories too. That writing process is totally valid. ^_^

[@kimberlyharrissmiles2805]

You are so encouraging. Thank you for the videos :)

[@SorryIcantIhavebookclub]

When I wrote my PhD thesis it was the most stressful moment, so you are brave to willingly write a book, lol!

[@hanawriter]

You should absolutely cry for the thumbnail and title it with a very somber, non-specific title like “we need to talk”. 😶👍 Go Kat, go!! These vlogs make my day! Thanks for putting in the effort to share with us. You’re doing amazing! 💜
