"The time is going to pass anyway." That is a wonderful way of looking at it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KAEmmons]

so happy this could speak to you!! :)

Oh yeah. 100% I want to take that step into the unknown and write all these stories in my head. But I get that imposter syndrome and feel like I don’t have the ability to write them the way they should be. So I get paralyzed by fear and procrastinate like none other.

[@KAEmmons]

You've got this! I believe in you friend 🙌

[@j.o.t.4212]

@ Thank you! 🙏

[@jessicabis]

Same! I can relate.

[@tracysnordiclight]

No regrets… great words to begin a new year! 🙏🏻 Thank you for this boost, Kate! I’m writing my first book, well two, really, if I include a book of poems I’ve finished now and editing. But the other, a novel, is my first longer work in a long time. I ended 2024 with five ideas buzzing around, all wanting to be played with, but had to settle on one. I started the outline and character sketches last week. If all feels scary and amazing… mostly amazing.😊

"Its gonna take some dedication" I've been dedicated for 5 years so far. I do have some other problems like ADHD, the motivation comes and goes, but in the end I know this is what I wanna do. I've been going at this 1st book for forever, and honestly...I don’t regret a second. I've been learning, I've been improving, I've been letting it sit when I need to step away for sec so I don’t get burn out. Today I prayed to God to tell me whether or not what I've been working on is what he wants me to write in plain and simple words And here you are saying "This is your sign" in plain and simple words...for the past few weeks, I properly considered giving up...and now I'm here with a fire I haven't burn so bright in awhile. Thank you, may God bless you.

I'm so thankful to channels like Abbie's and yours that provide encouragement, advice and inspiration to those who are on creative journeys. This video really spoke to me! I have had a certain fanfic idea in my head since I was a teenager. For years, it was always in the back of my mind, and I only indulged in thoughts of it super late at night when struggling to sleep. Then one day, a close family member passed away out of the blue, and that made me realise just how short and fragile life is. It hit me that if I didn't try to write this story, I'd regret it forever. So I finally started to write it, and I'm so happy that did. At the same time, though, I struggle with chronic overthinking, and I keep changing things about my outline trying to ascend to perfection instead of just knuckling down and allowing myself to write something cringe and imperfect and then changing it later. So that's the hurdle I'm currently trying to overcome. Just wanted to share.

I am so like you. Hesitant, unsure, self doubt, hanging at that ledge you mentioned, only to realize I missed it. I missed that leap. I have so many books written, in binders not published, that fear and worry fills me so much that this will never happen. Then I know I will regret it. Because I hesitated to long. Biggest issue/hurtle is cost. Cost of editing, publishing you name it. That is my hesitant, my ledge that has held me back all these years from taking that leap.

[@MrZkoki]

You inspired me to revisit, edit and work on an old manuscript. Thanks Kate, I needed that.

[@KAEmmons]

WOOHOO! That makes me so happy to hear 🙌 I am cheering you on in your writing journey my friend

[@miag8913]

Thank you. In Germany we say: "Glücksmagnet" - Becoming a "luck magnet" means cultivating a mindset and lifestyle that attracts positive opportunities and people. Define your goals clearly and visualize success. Focus on possibilities, practice gratitude, and embrace authenticity. Take proactive steps, embrace risks, and connect with inspiring individuals. Stay resilient, learn from setbacks, and create value for others. By maintaining a positive, proactive attitude, you’ll naturally attract opportunities and support that align with your vision....This video was exactly what I needed.

[@jessicabis]

I LOVE your videos. Will you do a video on what to do when you have a book idea but are not a writer? I've had a story that won't leave my mind, but I'm a terrible writer. I love writing and feel like, in a way, it's my soul's work, but I'm SO terrible at it. Do you think this can be overcome?

[@LFlowers36-o3p]

I can’t believe how the words are flowing atm. I’ve done as you suggest…I’ve paused with some in the tank 😂

[@hvrunuchu8780]

Thank you girl's for all that you do❤

[@KAEmmons]

thank YOU for being here!! 🙏

[@EBB9667]

Anyone serious about writing their book needs to sign up for The Muse Challenge. I've been to the two summits. They have definitely pushed me to grow. I already see the growth in my writing. Thank you, Kate and Abby 😊

[@alayamcgill7166]

I will be editing my story this year!!! It definitely has been given to me for a reason!

[@wonderwomanx1268]

One of the MOST POWERFUL insights into beginning. Tremendous thanks for these words. “Never regretted any of the stories I wrote.” Beautifully said. I’m On my way this year so this is the impetus I needed.

[@concernedcitizen7385]

A HUGE thank you to my favorite Emmons sister 😄🙏🌷

[@seal9454]

This video played automatically right after I watched a video reviewing a cheap/affordable laptop I could purchase to write my story away from home. I'll take that as a sign. Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm having a great start to 2025, which I was in dire need of. I'll give it my all.

[@azriel9499]

I'm living with the regret of not writing and finishing the books I started years ago. If I'd stuck it out, I'd be so much farther along in my writing journey now. So, I'm making the most of this year and I'm going to stick it out this time and achieve my goals and dreams.

[@CenturionBrush]

This is a wonderful message. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@TripNWithJen]

Thank you Kate, this video hit me in the feels. I have had an idea for a specific story for almost 3 decades but didn't know how to make my story come to life until I started watching you and Abbie. I am taking your words to heart and I am making time to make my story a reality. Thank you again.

[@wesbeuning1733]

Thanks so much for these videos. This one is especially apt and both the Emmons-es have helped me on these projects more than anything else. Its a particularly difficult thing for me to maintain direction at all. Bravo.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

I have wrote a first draft of my current novel project. Now i an just in s bit of a mental slump period, while i start the second draft, and going back to the drawing board, doing a lot of reverse outlining and plotting as I reboot my story.

[@KaylaHanlin]

I have a lot of different stories/ books that I have written over the years. I have a few stories/ books that I am currently writing and some that I want to rewrite. Watching your video today reminded me why I love writing stories in the first place. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@the_bookish_took5348]

I've been putting into practice writing in those small chunks of time and it's so much fun to see where I can squeeze in a little bit of writing-not to mention it adds up when I do this consistently! Logically I knew this but it took doing it to actually realize this...🤯 Love the summits! They have been so helpful!!

[@hamdibakha1633]

Welcome back

[@tomorrowkiddo]

Yes. All signs point to yes, all of that.

[@nickyprides]

Feeling this today. I have the story pretty much fleshed out. I. Just. Need. To. Write it.

[@saleenaali1660]

The time is going to pass anyway! I tell myself that often!

[@Cee-Cee2]

Got first draft done. Constantly put off doing editing and began another few.

[@concernedcitizen7385]

💯% … I wish I’d started writing seriously years ago, instead of always thinking I’ll have plenty of time.

[@sfappetrupavelandrei]

I am also a writer. Or more correctly a try out as a writer as I have multiple scripts and none of them finished. I love writing and I feel that it helps me connect with myself in a more intimate way. Sadly, I didn't write anything for the last couple of years (I'm 40). There are various reasons: work, life, procrastination, watching too many animes, c & k dramas. Also, there is a struggle, a work when I try to write, when I try to enter in contact with myself. And, often, it is a lot easier to day dream or watch some anime than doing the work. I keep promising that I will start to write again and I keep failing at it. 😅

[@alfredoaranguren6760]

Thanks you 🎉.

[@kumaramit4]

Master Kate and Abbie, my english is not good and I don't know that the following rules of writing a novel so could i write a novel ?

[@Horneciu]

I listened this video with 100% focusing on Your face and words, strange feeling... Because it is like You are really talking to me and understand me

[@deborahmeyers551]

Happy 2025 ❤
