discuss my book with me! (it’s a mess) | writing vlog #3

[@_cb97x]

I actually love your handwriting 😭 also your writing process is so real because I cannot wrap my head around where I was even going with my last chapter

[@AshleysPlans]

As a fantasy writer myself, I feel SO SEEN! The way you talk about your magic system is exactly how I talk about mine. Like, "do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not. Shut the heck up." 😂

ok, so i stumbled upon your videos to search for motivation to write but just gotta mention, your videos are so relatable!! i always have my ending figured out too, and most of my ideas are organised (ok, some of it) but i somehow struggle with the middle. i get stressed and i write a lot of non-coherent sentences. i sometimes wish i had dreams of being something else instead of a writer because of how tough it is to be one. and i doubt so damn much whether i'm up for it or not, whether i will be having a published book or not. most of writertube is filled with videos that show the rosy side of writing a book [which HAS motivated me but also dampened my spirits because am I the only one having a problem with my writing?!] but watching your video, showing how much you yourself struggle with writing kinda helped. thank you, honestly. i hope all of us writers who are struggling, reach the end of the tunnel and rejoice the struggles we all went through!!

I think a lot of writer's struggle with the middle part (I am no stranger to that feeling). In fact, I stopped working on my WIP for a year because I couldn't deal with the middle. I had to scrap most of my writing a re-start a lot of my project because the sheer amount of plotholes stopped me from even opening the doc again. I think something that might help you get through the middle is focussing on ways to get the plot to progress/ pushing it to the plot twist and ending you have planned. Another thing I might suggest is to grow the peripheral characters, relationships and subplots during that middle part. Hope this helps!

Killing almost all of your character's parents in the first three minutes is so reallll

[@luckymetal2]

I think a lot of people could relate to the free-to-play vs the battle pass magic system. Hope the writing goes well!

[@charleeraewrites]

for me my glasses are slanted because my ears are a little off kilter lol 👂

[@VOID-gz6jk]

After your first writing video, I decided to write literally whatever came to mind because I’ve been stuck on character cheats for like the past four months. I’ve gotten the most progress done in an hour I’ve ever gotten so thank you

[@geenahreads]

I love this!! I’m so glad I was able to be of help in some way. Can’t wait to see what you create!

[@VOID-gz6jk]

@@geenahreads thank you! I wish you luck as well. And remember breaks can be very productive. Sometimes the brain needs a break

[@chippichawa4843]

You are like a good friend to chat about these things and since its Fantasy related. -It's like a D&D trope where one or two of the parents of the MC are dead haha. -I hope you had fun making the vid, i was chuckling at times. -My handwriting is like a chicken's scratching their feet on the ground. -You already got me sold on how you are telling your story -By this time that I finished this video, I am currently helping a tech team finish a writing app to help writers tell their stories. I do hope one day you get to try it out.

[@SRKanai1]

To answer your first/opening question, your glasses may be crooked however, everybody has one side of their face that is higher or lower than the other. (Inclusive of the ears.) That absolutely does effect the way they sit on one's face.

[@MegaMerlin2011]

Your vids popped up in my recommended, and I feel like this could help me find some structure. Some of the best writers have been through a lot of trauma. I've survived cancer, struggled to find my "career", tried going to Asia and ended up homeless abroad. Trying to shape my experiences into a book kind of like how JRR Tolkien took his experience in WW1 to form his Lord of the Rings novels.

[@user-ps6uu7sw3m]

The making the r look like a v is the most relatable thing ever

[@Swoofix]

I related to much to the thoughts not translating into words.

[@nicoledorman8484]

You've pulled me in because i want to know what the villains motivations are? Why does she just go stabby stabby fire burn on everyone? And why am i already attracted to her?

[@geenahreads]

😂 I let my friend read the first two chapters and she was also attracted to her

[@status_quo_post]

Handwriting schmandwriting that's what technology is for. Or maybe it's cope because I also write like shit. Who knows. But I do know that this has more substance than some of my unfinshed projects. So keep up the good work.

[@aryilon]

I love these videos. I'm finally writing my first book, and you make me feel less alone!

[@MsShabriaGxo]

My handwriting is so terrible that I can’t even read it myself 😅

[@geenahreads]

This is too relatable

[@red31sorceress86]

"I don't want to talk about it" 💀

[@StarvinitySaga]

Hoping lots of inspiration continues to come your way.

[@bronwynallen7272]

I want more content like this 🤍 At what point did you decide to go KZbin? ✨

[@bingbong_luver]

OMG Let me stop you right there. Do you know LocalScriptMan? The youtuber? Hes literally CRUCIAL. He makes the best writing advice videos Ive ever seen. Especially in the character stage of stories.

[@writingfromthedepths]

YES! I totally agree. LSM changed my perspective on storytelling as a whole. I second your recommendation.

[@bingbong_luver]
