i'm not a good writer... MY *BAD* WRITING HABITS 😂📖 (relatable writing struggles)

[@bluemacaroons]

My habit is imagining myself being a writer but then making excuses of why I can’t write 😅

[@ananeu]

hahahahahha nooooo this is me tooo hahaha

[@kiidmattel]

Me toooooo!! You hit the nail on the head with that one

[@saraa.bookss]

Relatable😂

I do something similar where I project my problems onto my characters, but I've never seen it as a bad thing. It becomes the theme of the story, and I'm able to see them overcome a certain obstacle, then see how I could do the same. I also tend to write about themes that I'm conflicted over. For example, "loyalty". Like what makes it a good quality, and at what extent does it become unhealthy/toxic? I think it's totally normal to write about things that bother or interest us! 💐

[@maddieee777]

i agree that is what my story is based on bc im going through something rn and in my story i want the girl to have a good ending to give myself motiviation that my story can have a happy ending too. so real

[@Arinrine]

hii ana. About the part where you said you make your characters share problems with you, well, its actually the oposite! its very healthy to write down your struggles that being in a journal form, a novel form or whatever. it really helps our concious and sub concious mind to process things better and with different perspectives (its the whole principle of why journaling can help people with c-ptsd). I personally started journaling and writing as a form of coping with my struggles and fell in love with the craft. ˆˆ

[@writer_surabhi_singh]

Agreed!

[@ananeu]

that’s so true!! haha i think I just feel so terrible giving my problems to my characters because - ahh! they are my babies! i don’t want them to struggle and be hurt 😂 haha but of course! it’s a great coping mechanism - writing in general is. LOVED hearing ur thoughts🤍and I totally agree too

[@cookiiqiss7605]

i find it so interesting how people can relate to the 1st one because although i have several WIPs, there’s only one i truly love and commit to. when i have new ideas i always always always incorporate them into this one WIP, rather than creating an entirely new story. there’s a problem with this though because stories are better when they revolve around one or several significant themes, and i think i’ve overloaded my story with a bit too many 😭

[@ananeu]

don't judge me!! ahhaha - but lemme know if you can relate to any i mentioned in the video hehe.

[@annejia5382]

[@oncerpotter3272]

I can definitely relate to all of these habits… 😂 I can also say that my biggest bad writing habit is definitely not able to stick to one music playlist to write to 😂😂… I can definitely relate to the first one.. I have 7 projects in total and I really want to work on them all 😂😂

[@ananeu]

hahah we are the sameeee

[@maddieee777]

HOW ARE YOU SURVIVING!!!! i can barely be able to plot 2 stories at the same time. damnnnnnn credit goes to u!!!

[@Musikchic47]

My two bad writing habits are: -I understand the burn out too; having a normal 9-5 job sometimes I feel burnt out from working all day, and I want to just come home and sit on the couch and watch Netflix -when working on a longer project, sometimes I get bored and leave that project behind for a shiny, new idea, lol

[@ananeu]

mmm totally agree. awww burn out is sooo hard to get though. I really hope ur okay and taking care of urself. if your not well, ur writing is not well! hope ur happy 💗💗

[@tam1770]

My toxic writing traits are having multiple projects and over writing 😅

[@g0re_Wh0re]

OMG!!! HI I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!! Also I relate to the first one soooo much!

[@ananeu]

aww ur so so sweet!! hehe i'm so glad we can relate to each other ahh x

[@graceroot4289]

I love your outfit in this video! I relate to habits 1, 2, and 5 for sure. lol...

[@writer_surabhi_singh]

Haha, it's funny to see you rant about your writing habits 😂 I can totally relate to some of these!

[@maddieee777]

omg i daydream in class too!!! I thought i was the only one lol. Omg i can't relate bc my sentences are always too long. OMG I GIVE MY CHARACTERS MY PROBLEMS TOO!!! I'm dealing with something rn and i thought of a story to be able to imagine that my situation ends good! ily ana and pls continue making content bc the day you stop imma cry lol

[@dziiyuh7260]

this is so relateable 😅

[@pattyellis5359]

Hi again. Yea, love this vlog. It makes you more unique as a writer. Plus, my bad writing habits are procrastinating or napping. Since I love being in bed, reading or writing, but a draw back to my writing vibe. And for the last week I felt like reading more than writing, even though my brain is stuck on Mars ideas to sort out my werewolf story scene in chapter 14, 15, 16 and 17. And for the last 1 hour, it is trying to figure out what part Mayson/Mason plays in with my 8 regular characters in the middle of chapter 14. Plus, shiny ideas hit me last month when I thought of another 3 story ideas. So far, I have 8 extra stories on notes. After that vlog about your 7 shiny story ideas, my mind decided to also procrastinate on shiny new werewolf story ideas. Your vlogs and podcasts are very motivating in my writing time of life. Thanks again for another awesome vlog. ❤️💖

[@ananeu]

ur so sweet! tysm for sharing ur updates - your werewolf story seems toooo cool!!!😙keep going bestie🫰

[@jaytwt7503]

Me *Relating to all of them* I literally Day dream all day about what I'm writing!

[@hannahmorris8504]

- I have no ideas - I always leave the story by the first chapter - my stories are always switching from present tense to past tense so I ALWAYS mess it up

5:08 I subconsciously do this! Like I will give Mc a problem and then a few minutes later I will be like....oh wait......this is me

[@wiggleworm5423]

I get distracted a lot. And when i have writers block I watch videos on writing.

[@sydgia2404]

Hey Ana! Love the vids! Are you still working on project w.w/ do u have any more vids on it besides (all my current writing projects). I was intrigued w the royalty aspect of that one.

[@ananeu]

aw it’s flattering ur interested! i think I have a vlog im editing where I work on that project!😆

[@sydgia2404]

@@ananeu yay! Ik it must be tough to balance all these projects so I understand if it’s not shown as much. Hope to see it tho! :D

[@artecafe_sketches101]

bad habit number 1 is soooo relatble;i had this new idea but i have like 3-5 projects waiting for me to continue with them. but i did finish one and im soo happy i did(and all thanks to your vids ,as they were my biggest inspo during the writing process) but i do hope i can finish the rest of my wip. love your vids,Ana ,always a big inspo in the writing community! Edit: habit 5 ....ummm i can not talk about the characters i have left broken....but yes its relatable(when i say broken i mean like with what i would consider a bad thing,or even a good one cuz it could get toxic at a level..but yeah,i dont know...)

[@officialjuhin]

My biggest bad writing habit is constantly using verb-s instead of verb-ed 😂😂😂😂

[@kashpodda]

I never plan a novel before writing.. but sometimes i do that.. but when i'm writing i always change the plan and edit it with ideas that suddenly come to my mind . The last result isn't the one that i imagine before. That's another novel 😁

[@local_noun6769]

my bad habit is never actually writing and just creating characters and then dropping the project for a hot minute only to pick it back up and rehash the characters

[@oliviagentles2756]

Hiii Ana I love watching ur video By any chance can u give me writing Ideas

ana !! this video is so good, i relate to most of these on a spiritual level ahhH-- i will be at work thinking about my book, or i'll be up late writing because i tell myself i'm "treating" myself to "me time". ( it always comes back to bite me in the arse the following morning ) i have a quick question -- what computer are you using? i have a laptop right now but i definitely want to look into getting a desktop, yours seems perfect for writing!!

[@ananeu]

awww u must always be so tired!! poor thing😭your doing so well im so proud for u for pushing thru. just remember - take care of ur health and sleep okay?🤍hehe and ooo! yes i have the inspiration all in one desktop 🖥 by dell. it’s really awesome since it’s like an inbuilt pc/computer. great for writing🤍
