Drafting a new book! (nanowrimo daily vlog | day one)

[@aneesabodiat2656]

What I like about this year is that in the previous few videos and lives you’ve given us proper details about your premise and even character names whereas I feel last year you were scared of mentioning anything and it was so rare to hear anything about gas station 😂 I already feel so invested in this book 😊

[@CodyTheWriter]

ALYSSA!! Not me getting emotional at the shout out! You are so fun and encouraging and are truly a light in the authortube space! Always a joy having you on the channel!

[@briellewrites]

You plugging all the other videos you’re directing people to is everything. Ok pro youtuber!!

[@briellewrites]

FIRST DAILY VLOG HELL YEAH

[@AnnaYoungStories]

Nano dailies! Let's gooooo!

[@renwrites]

what a wild start to your november!! so happy your computer is alright lol. I'm so looking forward to your daily vlogs this month 🌞

[@SDHegyes]

You and Cody are both awesome! I love the energy you both exude in your videos. I work nights so I'm not really able to catch a lot of live streams, but I watch all your videos (both of you) while I'm working. 💙 Good luck! You've got this! I love the names you've got for your characters in this story and the idea of a "fun kidnapping story". 😂

[@sherrylalonde5719]

Woohoo! Let the fun & games begin! I hope you've loaded up on snacks and caffeine. Someone needs to create a November Advent Calendar...

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

I delayed starting my writing work for the day so I could watch this ahahaha Glad your computer didn’t explode, although think of the content and thumbnail potential if it did…

[@alyssa.and.the.books.]

TRULY

[@isabellajuanitalyn]

Your energy is so addicting! So excited to see your progress tomorrow!

[@AnnaRobbinsWrites]

writing the last scene first is such a cool way to kick off the month!! ⭐

[@SDHegyes]

I'm so glad the computer issue was an easy-ish to get fixed. That's scary. Been there. Done that. Not a fan. The AuthorTube community is AWESOME!!! I love it so much.

[@jaepelton]

YAY I can’t wait for daily vlogs! Happy nano :)

"I have a concept of an outline"😂

[@clairebrown4028]

1. 200 words of an outline that I should not be working on right now. Lol This month, I'm trying to finish the first draft of the book I started in May. So I definitely shouldn't be outlining a new book right now. Lol

[@alyssa.and.the.books.]

Not the outlining procrastination 👀

[@margot_c_writes]

I'm glad your laptop battery isn't going to explode! like I said, you are welcome to call me paranoid now 😅

[@alyssa.and.the.books.]

I'm glad you said something because it did need to be replaced in the long run 😅

[@krenko-]

so glad your computer didn't explode!! cya tomorrow!

[@jess_writes_a_book]

Happy November! So excited to see the journey as you write this story. My story also features a sort of would be mafia boss who has so many more layers to him than just that.

[@couch_potatto]

Alyssa! There's a Channel Name Reddit read and Requested read on YT. So, could you please tell me how they write their stories. I think they use AI.

[@staceycoates1418]

A trick I use when I dictate is that I take the last five or ten minutes of a sprint to edit what I wrote. So if it is a 25 minutes sprint I try to spend the last five minutes editing what I wrote so it actually is what I want. But yes, you need to edit as you go when you are dictating!

[@jackiereadsandwrites]

I love dictating when drafting! It's super helpful but does sometimes result in unfortunate (and occasionally funny) typos haha

[@aneesabodiat2656]

Hello again 👋🏼I’m looking for books to read - you recommended the prison healer trilogy last year and it was great 🙌🏼can you one day do a top 10 of your favourite books of all time, please ? 🍃

[@summerg24]

1. Maybe 300? Lol it was not a writing kinda day but that’s okay! she said while slipping slowly into madness

[@alyssa.and.the.books.]

Always a fan of slipping into madness

[@IHBooks]

1. 0 hehe Apologies for stressing you out about the battery. Glad it’s getting replaced, though 😊

[@alyssa.and.the.books.]

I'm super glad people brought it up, the guy said it will help my computer last a lot longer to replace it now rather than when it's super broken!
