My Morning Routine as an Aspiring Author (Writing Routine)

[@eunicetan8395]

I would love to hear how your novel is doing now! Did you publish it? This was so inspiring to me as a university student juggling a lot at school and extracurriculars while working through my novel at the same time! Thank you!

[@nancylotempio3432]

You are so organized. There are so many helpful tips for aspiring authors. Can’t wait for your next video. And good luck.

[@GoblinTome]

I really enjoyed this! I want to get into a space and routine like this to really become a productive writer.

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

So glad you hopped over to take a look. I wish you all the best in sticking with it!

[@lolamanzarek933]

Loved this! So inspirational, and you have 2 wonderful dogs, I want to be like you when I grow up! I'm taking this creative writing course and man, it's been hard, whatever it takes to be an author!💪🏻 Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Thank you Robin. I enjoyed your video, and I found it very inspiring. I hope your novel has been completed. I would love to buy a copy and read it. All the very best.

[@raomzk]

Wish you all the success on writing your new book! :)

[@co6919]

This video is excellent! Where did you get your keyboard from? I would love one like that!

[@anjumbegum2059]

All the best. You're doing great ❤

[@PJOfan_221]

Cool writing routine!

[@_kmCarter]

This was so helpful! I have been looking for examples of a writing routine that is efficient and effective, but involves no "hustle." Found it! Thank you!

[@cardiscorner]

wow, this was so calming to watch. thank you! I just started writing a week ago and am loving it so far

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Good for you! Stick with it :)

[@AuthorLevelUp]

Great job, and great storytelling! Look forward to seeing more!

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

You've certainly been an inspiration! It's harder than I expected, but so much fun.

[@tamarasyed]

This video is so well done! So amazing it's your first youtube video!! Gave me all the cozy feels while also motivating me to get a daily word count calendar. Thank you for all the tips!

[@OlgaKuznetsova]

That was a really nice routine! Swap my drink for coffee and it's something I could try to do too :)

[@himanshuital8848]

Nice and clam video. Good work. Love from India. Waiting to see more.

[@samanthak3549]

Great video! Camera work was on point and you are so encouraging! Makes me feel motivated to start out my mornings a little more productive than they have been. Best of luck on your book and can't wait to follow along :)

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

So nice to have you along! Would you believe my cameraman is 13?

[@samanthak3549]

@@authorrobinshackleton296 You're kidding!!

[@Telluride92]

So great to get to follow you on your journey writing your novel! Sono bilingue anch'io!

[@edwardyorston58]

Thank you for posting this video! I am trying to write my first novel. Currently finishing novel plan however with working full time, I am looking for an idea how to even start an evening writing routine :) keep up the good work

[@anjumbegum2059]

Great! I'm planning for a non fiction. Still finding ways to write. Hoping you'll do great while writing. Keep up 🌱

[@spellsofwylde1462]

What an inspiration! Thank you for sharing 🌼

[@ravinagahawatte2476]

Best wishes , I enjoyed the video

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

Great routine! I’m a newbie AuthorTuber and I’m so glad I found your channel.x

[@sionnach9946]

Hey robin I'm a younger viewer and would love to offer some advice from someone who's watched a LOT of youtube! First, this was great I loved the editing! A lot of KZbinrs put some item links in their video descriptions. That way you don't get a bunch of comments asking where you got your keyboard or alarm clock (something I would like to know as well). This is really cool and I can't wait to see more videos from you!

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm new at this! Glad to have you as a viewer :) My alarm clock is the Titiroba Wake-up light from Amazon.

[@kuhlmannjustin]

Ms. Shackleton, it is so important to establish a solid routine in order to increase productivity. Thank you for sharing your secret to success. I look forward to your upcoming publication and I wish you the best of luck.

[@bigbori8716]

aww this is lovely, I’ll read you're book when it comes out!

[@hollylauren4537]

This video couldn't have popped into my recommendations at a better time! I'm currently taking a fiction writing workshop course for college, and this week I have to have my rough draft for my short story in at the end of the week. To say I've been procrastinating is a total understatement. Now I feel a little more motivated after watching your video. Thank you!

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Yeah! Get after it!

[@FancyDress21]

Really enjoed this. Would be great if you could give out tips for those too afraid to start :)

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll have to think about that!

[@Toasavili]

Thank you, this was really helpful!

[@facelessmusician7367]

Love love love love LOVE this video! Could you maybe do a video about creating a space for writing?? :)

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Thanks for the feedback :) Good idea for a topic! When I made this video, I had a spare bedroom set up as my office/writing space. Since then, my situation has changed, so might have to revisit the topic.

[@mariamcgrath2837]

thanks for sharing! this was sooo calming to watch 😊

[@alishalegrand6139]

I like your writing routine you should do more videos

[@EPICBLASIAN1]

Is that the HP ENVY? I bought that for my wife 2 years ago 😜

[@judithibarra9379]

So well done, interesting

[@ScriptyVijay]

Great well organized.

[@sumaiyamatin]

Where did you get this incredible keyboard?

[@DebbieDavidson06]

I love your keyboard. Where can I buy one?

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

I got mine right through the qwerky website. So glad I splurged!

[@krishnahemminger]

What is that desk thing you have for your macbook and keyboard? I'd love one just like it.

[@AdventureBoldly]

Wow what a great video! There must have been an amazing cameraman!!

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I couldn't have done it without my trusty sidekick!

[@deanaraju7603]

Beautiful! ❤

[@wayfasts]

I love my qwertywriter but I use it with my ipad. Would take me getting used to a laptop screen so far away. As I am my 70s I write in 18 point and size down after corrections.

[@something7959]

I MUST have your YA thriller. MUST.

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

I'll make sure you're one of the first to read it!

[@AdventureBoldly]

Yes so excited to read this book!!!

[@millardtaylor2512]

Where did you get the wireless typewriter keyboard? I love it.

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

I think I got it from Amazon, but you can also go right to the Qwerkywriter website

[@tiffanyskinner]

nice video cute dogs!!

[@deannascorner8112]

Wow for a first KZbin video this was really good! My first KZbin video was not as nice and polished! ❤️

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Thanks! It was fun, and I had an excellent 13-yr-old assistant :)

[@megankirrmann6624]

😲😳....so organized.....it's scary!!!!

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

Life throws a lot of wild cards at you, so I like to control what I can!

[@angelshanaya6737]

Thanks for this video! I am new to your channel just subs💕

[@steveleonardopalingkeren]

How you can write a lot of Word, in a few minutes? What prepare before type on keyboard ? 🙏 Thanks

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

I did some general plotting beforehand, but just rough ideas. In my day job, I'm used to cranking out content and even writing short fiction (

[@khanfarhan3047]

The keyboard? What is it called or tell me the company it's from I gotta have it

[@authorrobinshackleton296]

It's the Qwerkywriter. Love it!

[@mademoisellech886]

if I were just as half as disciplined as you I'd be so damn happy :D

[@Sara-hi7jj]

2.57? So you write at night...?

[@SysterYster]

I couldn't help but laugh a little at the word count. As a complete over-writer myself, I don't ever try to reach any word goals, but only quality goals to keep my over-writing rambling to a minimum. lol. My first book... I've literally cut away 34,600 words as of today, and I'm still cutting. XD And it's still too long. I wish I could live like you, just getting up and writing. It's a dream for the future for sure. :)

That's the second time I've seen that thahtilograph. sweet
