"hello and welcome to the weekly writing vlog" hasn't updated said vlog in weeeeeks. Iconic.

[@stephaniejean7429]

Kat: "I wrote another book" Me: "I wrote another sentence :')"

[@MadHartley]

Lol. In all realness though progress is progress and fellow writers are proud

[@chaitnareads]

Whenever you say "It's fine everything's fine" I have to go back and watch Cooking with Kat, the worst (and best) cooking show on KZbin

[@Marie45610]

I miss that cooking show.

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

I still rewatch that! XD

[@mockingjasonn8660]

i miss that shit ;(

[@Allymai_]

She should bring it back!!!

[@midnight_reina]

I miss that show

[@queenoffabulous2156]

The best stories to write are ones you have no intention of publishing because then the only rule is there are no rules

[@lightquest2]

The one good thing about self quarantining is the amount of writing I’ll be getting done 😂

[@maritzaclaire4694]

Same.

[@leeisoffline]

I wanna like it but it’s at 111 likes so I can’t sooo. Like

[@haleypotter417]

I've kinda fallen out of watching youtube lately, but I missed your energy and given the dystopian hellscape, I rediscovered my love of your channel

[@KaiInMotion]

"I didn't mean to! None of this was planned!" This month is the second time I've tried to write a novella only for it to turn into a novel so I heavily relate to this. I'm gonna try to finish this book tonight too, y'all, wish me luck! I'm at 60k and I think I've got at least 12k left to write. Which like, realistically 12k is the most I've ever written in a single day, so it's kind of possible, but I'm also gagging lol. I meant to write a standalone novella. Then a standalone novel. Now I know it's the first book in a series. I'm so stressed 😩 by myself.

[@mikaeladeer2763]

I started writing a short story and it's probably going to be a novella or even a novel. I am still coming up with new things to add and I love the characters so much and it's difficult to stop. It's funny because if I want to write a novel, I have sometimes issues to write enough but this project is just writing itself :)

[@gjori4704]

"So my magic system is really complicated. I don't know how to explain it. I'm not sure I even quite understand it" Like, I felt that so hard haha But like, daaamn Kat! You go! This is crazy, I've barely written at all this year and here you go just tossing out book after book ;)

[@Piggeroo]

i'm a simple gal, i see writing vlog, i Click

"Dystopian hellscape" ... this, this is what I'm feeling too.

“Except no high-fives, I’m social distancing!” Hahahaha yes we love this sanitation

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

EEEEEEEE I'M SO PROUD OF YOU CONGRATS!!! You said you probs weren't gonna publish this so would you just post it on WattPad or Patreon or something when you feel it's finished and you want people to read it? It sounds SO DANG interesting and I'm super here for it! As a fellow writer I certainly relate a lot to loving talking and hearing about other peoples' projects! It's just like so dang good and fun and lovely and everyone's so creative and stuff! BTW April is also Camp NaNo so yeah if you wanted to do VEDA for April Camp NaNo we are all here for it!! So much love to you my dear and I'm so happy that you've been so motivated and inspired and stuff! Hugs if you want them and take care of yourself!!!

[@maya-gur695]

I'm planning on writing a 50K first draft (or a zero draft as you call it) of a novel in April during camp nanowrimo. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I honestly adore you for writing 50K in a month.

[@Katytastic]

GOOD LUCK!! it's not so daunting when you take it one day at a time! you can do it!

[@maya-gur695]

@@Katytastic Thank you! ❤ I really needed to hear that right now.

[@lmajjiga3005]

Me to myself, under quarantine: Okay, okay, no school for 3 weeks, you finally have some time to write. Me, 0.0001 seconds later: *tries learning the dance for Cannibal* Also me: *rewatches Austin & Ally for no reason* And also me: *stares at my wall for a good hour* Me: *sighs* I have NO idea how this happened.

[@Sol-pc1jb]

I lost it at Austin & Ally for some reason xD

[@KuramasSilverstar16]

Isn’t it crazy how you want to do it so bad you Do everything you can to not do it? I’m the same way, but in my case I got a full time job (and am an essential employee so no quarantine time for me) and a little baby daughter, so all the more difficult for me

[@Piggeroo]

honestly this video is Exactly what i needed to motivate me to work more on my writing as i stay huddled in my apartment (which isn't That much different from my normal life but ya Know)

[@midnightmoonlight8612]

Kat: this book is never going to be published Me: WHAT THE HECK THIS SOUNDS AMAZING I WOULD GIVE UP AN ARM AND A LEG AND SHAVE MY HEAD AND KICK A PUPPY TO GET THIS IN MY HANDS SHE HAS TO PUBLISH IT

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

I agree! Kat would make a lot of money self-publishing. She cranks out manuscripts quickly (once she cracks down on herself, ha) and she has a loyal fanbase who would gladly buy her books.

[@sercemwksiazkach3446]

KICK A PUPPY?!

DUDE I AGREE BUT KICKING A PUPPY???

[@chvp4605]

I haven't watched Katy's videos or booktube or written in a while and I now realized how much I missed youtube and writing and her fun and friendly personality and nerdiness. It took a whole epidemic for me to finally take care of myself and be creatively productive but...it helps me to be positive! Stay safe everyone!!💕🙌🏻✨

[@dreamofmedeukae]

Yes!! I love your writing vlogs. They always tend to jump start my own drafting 😊

[@lamerthanfiction5705]

I missed your writing vlogs so much, I'm so glad that you got around to posting one again. And congrats to finishing another zero draft, I'm really looking forward to your writing content and updates on your stories and the quering process in the coming months :)

[@neverxever66]

What do you mean this is never going to be published the premise sounds AMAZING I NEED this NOW (promise I'm very calm and the self-quarantine isn't stressing me out at all)

[@camilaarmani5639]

Man, I've missed these videos. You never fail to inspire me and make me laugh. Hope you have a great writing week!!

[@safeera8239]

"Mabye I should volg all through April?!but comeing frum me that sounds like a joke..right!?"your awsome Kat,keep wrighting and im a keep clicking on your vids.

[@starrynightfall00]

I loved watching your writing vlog! This is what I needed right now ^^

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Yes! Always love seeing a writing vlog!

[@mandys1379]

This sounds like an interesting book! I can’t wait until you get it published and I can read it!!

[@sheasimmons9143]

Your video is the first I've watched in days because of my anxiety. Thanks for continuing to upload, Kat, and congrats on "finishing" the book :)

[@carole-rosemelanie-jane6570]

This week on a very special episode... LOVE YOU KAT! I can't wait to see it on the shelf.

[@alysonserenastone2917]

Best of luck to you in your publishing venture! I'm looking forward to read it. :)

[@authorgkray]

It is so awesome to watch your process (again) after having finished my draft, too. This tale sounds amazing. Good luck! :D

[@sercemwksiazkach3446]

I really love this idea and i’m super intrigued by this, I hope to read your books at one point 💖💖 I hope querying goes well for you, I’m already super excited for your book ideas and I need them right now! Have a great day :D

[@sleepymaxie]

Kat! I missed these so much! I'm so excited for your books, thank you for sharing the process with us!! Best of luck going forward, you got this!!

[@steventhomas9011]

Hello Molly How are you doing today?

[@chaitnareads]

Also, the holy trinity of booktube all uploaded today and we have been blessed

[@dannydewispelare]

I’m also getting discouraged with querying and I’ve finally started to write everything down for my next book, and I’m outlining and I love how this new book is. It’s so much fun because it’s so different but also similar in the genre. I’m really excited for my next book. So happy that you’re also writing!!! 💕

[@Katytastic]

thanks! and yay, glad you're getting excited about the next book! good luck w writing it!

[@iviiiii1384]

Genuinely sad you said this isn’t gonna be published 😭😭 it sounded amazing!!

[@deborahlehman2934]

My birthday is in the very beginning of April so honestly hearing you say a new writing vlog might be coming in April, such a birthday present

[@xzonia1]

That's fantastic, Kat! Congratulations! :)

[@gjori4704]

14:08 when Kat goes full on Simon during Watford being like "Hey, look at me, give me attention Baz" :P

[@BonnieDragonKat]

Good to see you again Kat!!! Good job on the book!

[@Katytastic]

thank you!!

[@StudioLindsay]

Congratulations on 50K words! I’m excited for more writing vlogs!

[@Katytastic]

thanks!!

[@jadathomas2108]

What’s your advice to young writers who want to write a big project but don’t feel like they have enough experience? Or they’re not good enough?

[@Raven_Nivhaar]

Personally, my advice is to just write it. Or if you don't feel like tackling that particular story quite yet (I understand) I would write as much detail as you can about it (the characters, world, plot, etc.), to act as a blueprint for when you actually start writing it, and then you can try and write other things, like short stories or novellas. It's true that you get better with practice, and with each paragraph you write, you're better than the one you wrote before. There's no such thing as 'not being good enough'. Good luck fellow writer! Get those stories out! :D

[@mishaschaffner-kargman8311]

I know I'm not Kat but this might help: Just write it! The best way to get better is to write and read. You learn so much every time you write a draft! Even if it's not good it's practice and no one needs to see it! Just write it and make it look nice on your second pass. No one sees it till you want them to see it!

[@Torsee]

Jada Thomas GO FOR IT!

[@Lucas-sz9rk]

Read something on wattpad and realize you are not alone

[@maritzaclaire4694]

You have to start somewhere. Sometimes that's just diving off the deep end and hoping it gets better as you learn and grow.

[@ms.reader9799]

That was a good and cohesive description for your book!

[@hanawriter]

Yaaay!! So glad to have more writing vlogs from you, Kat! They’re my fav! I certainly hope by “if only” you mean that it will be less 4 books and more 24 books, because that would be delightful! Either way, I hope you will always write things you love and that make you feel vaguely crazy! 💜

[@steventhomas9011]

Hello Hana How are you doing today?

[@AbiSaad]

so happy to see your face on my feed today 💕😊

[@paulapoetry]

Your writing vlogs are so inspirational and fun. 😃💖💝

[@artemiis3727]

If you aren't planning in trying to publish it, would you ever consider self publishing it or putting it online somehow?

[@tiredpenguin02]

This video gave me the last push of motivation to finish the last 500 words or so of my NaNoWriMo draft 🎉 Thanks for your energy and spunk, Kat! To all you other writers out there: you can do it!!

[@wolfganghendery8298]

Awesome!!! Well done. I started a book around when you started rewriting the last book, but I've had to rewrite 5 times, and they've gotten better and better every time, still I'm well jelly. :) The key for rewriting for me is to take all your best ideas and go with them but rewrite what is not so great, but then you gotta rewrite them later lol.

[@ohsoabby4689]

omg this project sounds so interesting now i just want to read it😂😍🤩

[@ruby5244]

girl I’m in the query trenches too, believe me, you got this 🤩

[@luvBB4lyf]

i've missed your vlogs so much and your story sounds so cool! If you're not planning on publishing this one, I would love to read it if you still choose to share it in another way :D really excited for all your projects!

[@amehak1922]

You're mesmerizing. So much cuteness.

[@marielbellan]

I was watching your writing videos again yesterday and wondering when the heck you would be back and maybe with an update of “Book” great to see you writing again! Be patient!

I. LOVE. KATS. WRITING. VLOGS!!!!!!

[@ScullyPopASMR]

I can't wait for the book to come out.

[@jordanpearson9883]

Aww this book sounds so good, I wish I could read it! And Kat, I feel you, I am so freaking anxious. And I'm going stir-crazy. Never thought that would happen because I am a hardcore introvert, but also.... hate being told what to do so the fact that I'm forced to stay in is hard XD. But this vlog made it better! Hope you're doing well!!

[@deichuu]

I swear to god, if I get to the end of the video without you telling us anything about what you're writing... 🥺 It's so inspiring seeing KZbinrs telling us about starting a new project but then NONE ever tell us anything about the new project! I get you can't spoil much but just a little bit, genre/loose plot/something. Please, I bet of you guys, my curiosity kills me with every video. 🙈 (Ofc as soon hit post on my comment, you start spilling the beans 🤣 THANK YOU for sharing with us! I promise KZbin comment section won't snitch if you ever end up publishing ;) )
