How Long Does it Take to Write a Book (and publish it)? Writing Vlog

Why does it take so long to write (and publish) a book? And how do some authors make it look so easy? Let’s talk about it while I give you an update on my third book, a multi-POV contemporary young adult novel.

This is funny cause I just attempted to try writing out a story idea I had. I will be surprised if I ever publish. If I do, it'll be years down the line, but it's nice to try to be creative, if not a bit frustrating with ME. I will be hanging onto any advice while sick. The phone thing is interesting to me because I had the same problem, but I didn't get past it and I can't write on a laptop due to some computer specific tics, so I actually got physical paper I keep by my bed. It's definitely worse physically, but better mentally, so I'm just trying to accept most of the time, this will be an extremely slow process if I keep up with it. I was actually inspired somewhat by hearing that Maeve's mom is I believe publishing some of her incomplete work even after she died. As bleak as that is, it made me realize it's possible to make an impact even if you never do finish a project or make it perfect, so it's probably better to just try something and see where it goes.

Hi! That’s so cool that you are writing, but I totally get the frustration of going slowly. I used to write things out by hand first and it took forever, but it was the only way I could do it so it was better than nothing. As my health has improved I’ve altered the way I write and I’m always looking for ways to make it easier or more streamlined. Maybe there’s a way for you to do it that isn’t as frustrating. The hard part is finding what works for you. That’s so true about making an impact even if your work isn’t perfect. I recently heard a quote, something like, it’s better to finish something than to make it perfect because you’re never going to make it perfect. It’s hard to get in that frame of mind but I’m working on it especially with my crappy KZbin videos 😆 I just checked out your channel. Love your videos! Did you get burned out on them or just not feeling well enough to keep making them?

@@JamisonWrites thank you! I think I'll find what works as I go along. I'm just hoping I stick with it. As for my KZbin, it was both getting more sick (I was basically near remission when I started, somehow, but starting to deteriorate again), plus actually learning how to pace, plus my tics interfering. I used to wait for a good day and do all kinds of errands and tasks and occasionally a video literally for 24 hours straight until I totally crashed. Bad habits growing up and I'm a bit surprised they didn't hurt me more, but I did eventually learn/was forced to in the beginning, take it a bit easier. It took trying a martial arts class for some reason (don't ask, gaslighting really made me delusional) and becoming housebound for 2 months and then halfway through, deciding to catch up with the science on ME again to stop what I was doing 😭. Also, I can't afford flare ups at the same level with how my tics are now bc I literally can't rest. If my muscles are tired, they get worse. That was too long, but tl;dr: I got a bit sicker, but also, back then I may have just been crazy lol, whoops.
