I completely relate to the line level intimidation. It definitely becomes the place your skill is on full display, so you are NOT alone in that! I think I've taken a lot of comfort in the knowledge that I don't have to walk through those edits alone unless I choose to. If getting my book to the most elevated version it can be requires a more experienced set of eyes, then I can always add in that resource! Revision & being willing to change what you're passionate about to make it the best it can be is not for the weak! You are killing it & inspiring so many people in the process! ❤

Thank you for the encouraging words and comfort!! That is such a good point. And nice to hear I’m not alone on those feelings! ❤
@amandasdumkyАй бұрын
I have a tip for when you’re diving in to line edits! I always like to read books that are in a similar style to mine (or a style I want to replicate in some way). That ALWAYS helps my writing craft on a line level and makes me so inspired!!
@briellewritesАй бұрын
Yes!! This is def something I want to do more!! I heard Kris MF mention in a vlog that she reads before every writing session and I thought that was so smart. I also want to try transcribing a scene that I like from one of my fav books in word, so my brain can process what it’d be like to write like that? If that makes sense yaya

that bookstore-café looks so cute!! There's a similar thing in my current city but it's the midwest so it's also a bar 💀 lovely vlog brielle 🫶

I totally get the trying to figure out what characters should talk about when you need to show a relationship but also need it to match the circumstances of the book- loved this vlog!

enjoyed the vlog!! (insert moose emoji here b/c i'm on desktop lol) 💛 i think the way you're tracking your revising (the bubbles in your journal) is super cute and also encouraging. i bet it's satisfying to fill them in!! i'll have to try doing something similar with my zero draft goals (^:

I am also currently doing a lot of restructuring in my novel. I have to draft a ton of new scenes because my previous draft was so rushed. I’m slowly working my way through using some ‘progress bars’ I made for myself that I get to color in, much like your circles. Thanks for giving me that idea, it’s so satisfying and motivating. I totally agree that staying in the writing headspace helps speed up revising. I watch writing vlogs when I want to get in the zone because seeing other people work on the same thing I am I super inspiring. I also make goals- my current ones are drafting five new scenes a week and working on it an hour a day. I might tweak the scene goal after the four weeks I have planned, but I’m hoping to keep to my hour a day goal. 🫎

3:42 The level of focus indeed. Rooting for your fix of the speed dissonance. Because it's Los Angeles, it surprised me how the coffee shop / library came across as like a regular spot anywhere else in the world. As in: the traffic density of human beings in there wasn't enough to knock out out of your seat. Not sure since the previous vlog what gutting and rearranging chapter 3 exactly entails for you ... perhaps I just brain-farted on a key piece of context you provided ... but I'm taking your word that the ball will stay rolling. You seem really confident about the rest of the book, which means there's less on your plate to divert your energy from getting the dirty work done. Out of curiosity, what screenplays were you given in film school to teach you the craft? I know (famously) that Back to the Future is used at UCLA as the template for what "perfect" looks like, but if I recall correctly, you didn't go to UCLA. Ohhh yeah ... failure to stay within the project headspace is how many of my outlines never make it to a draft. 14:36 Egg bites? Did you just say egg bites? You caught me right after having an egg sandwich ... we had the same idea! LOL.

For the fun thing for thensisters to talk about maybe try to imagine their day-to-day trying to survive in the dystopian land. Maybe they went cow tipping and almost got caught. Looking to our pretechnology past could help with this.

Regarding the conversation between the sisters, perhaps they could have a shared hobby? Even the most oppressive societies have some level of recreation - State sanctioned sporting events or (propaganda filled) theatrical performances, music of some sort. Anyways, I've been enjoying your vlogs. Cheers.
