[@sincerelyvee]

[@MariJadeWrites]

@@sincerelyvee thanks 😊

[@jumpinjoint]

i feel like NaNoWriMo is such a missed opportunity to call it Novel-mber

[@sincerelyvee]

THIS IS SO SMART

[@kylahope1840]

I always love your videos. I have been watching you for about 8 months now and I love your content. In fact after finding your channel I decided to participate in nanowrimo this year! Good luck with your project reread! Edit: Also, is anyone else shook by how beautiful Vee's handwriting is?

[@rachelelizabeth.writes6528]

I'm currently in the Preptober trenches for my first ever NaNo! I've been watching your videos for months and they're super inspiring

[@sincerelyvee]

ahahaha🤣i was in my sister's room and she gets comments on that tapestry all the time LOL

[@elodiethewriter]

[@BrittanyandBooks]

Eeee i love preptober!! Can't wait to see the rest of this series xx I'm working on a YA contemporary romance ft lost friendship/almost love, a LI who has been secretly in love w the mc for years, and told in dual timelines!

[@sincerelyvee]

preptober vibes >>> !! that sounds so good!! i'd definitely read thatt🙌💓

[@lannettepate]

also can you tell me what are the name of the frames (glassess) you have on

[@sincerelyvee]

these are the exact ones: amzn.to/3DHCHF8

[@peytonandbooks]

I loved this video, I am so close to being done my 80k novel and seeing you go over a printed copy really inspired to try and finish mine. Thank you. Also, i love how you talked about how reading over certain scenes can be so cringy sometimes, i get that so much with my own writing (as a teen writer it's sometimes really cringy subpar writing on my part.) Awesome video, cant wait for the next one!💕

[@sincerelyvee]

omg yay for being so closed to done your novel peyton!!! 💓

[@alissawa8841]

this is my first preptober and I'm so excited!!

[@sincerelyvee]

SO EXCITING!!!

[@elodiethewriter]

ME TOO!

[@authorleane]

Really enjoyed watching the vid and it got me super motivated to write

[@sincerelyvee]

tysm!! i'm glad it could :)

[@writing.reading.knitting]

I don't like coffee, so I might look into that product you showed 👀 didn't really catch what it was tho (I'll rewatch that portion of the video later no worries). I always get worried when trying new things like that; my mom is a super health freak and she thinks medications and vitamins make our bodies lazy and Yada Yada Yada. I know nothing she says makes sense, but some of her paranoia rubbed on me! You seem to be off to a great start with prep preptober ☺️ hope everything continues to go smoothly!

[@sincerelyvee]

my mom is the same way sometimes when it comes to using medication for common colds and such ahaha😅 these productivity shots have great ingredients though and they're really natural! thank you!! i hope your writing projects, if you have any, are coming along nicely as well🤗

[@leelee-fz3zb]

What did you use the tabs for, and what kind are they? Ik you had a highlight system for Worldbuilding, characters, etc. but I’m sooo curious how you made use of the tabs too

[@sincerelyvee]

i matched the tab color to highlighter color and would tab the places in my manuscript that corresponded to the sections i highlighted on my first page. for example blue denoted “word conflict issues” and anywhere in my novel where i saw an area with a world conflict issue i would highlight it in blue and then use the blue tab to know where to find it

[@lannettepate]

love your channel its definitely a vibe. its inspiring to me at this time when I am writing my first book. Are you only a fiction writer....?

[@sincerelyvee]

tysm!!

[@goddessqueen7730]

I might try this, I don’t like coffee

[@sincerelyvee]

hopefully you like it better!!

[@sionnach9946]

how much did it cost for you to get P.S. printed? when I went to print mine the cheapest version was upwards of fifty USD!

[@sincerelyvee]

mine was just shy of $60 CAD and i had about 120 double-sided pages!!

[@sionnach9946]

this may be like a really dumb question but is project soulmates the title of your novel or are you just calling it project soulmates? I know a lot of authortube people call their wips some version of Project *blank* but I can never tell! Project soulmates sounds like a fun title for a book!

[@sincerelyvee]

not dumb at all i've gotten asked that a few times ahaha. a name still hasn't come to me that i feel like is a perfect fit for this novel so "soulmates" is the filler for now and 'project' isn't a part of it although i've also had someone mention 'project soulmates' in its entirety would make for a good title LOL

[@tam1770]

Good luck with the rewrites! Excited to see how you're progressing, and these vlogs are always fun to watch 😄

[@sincerelyvee]

thank you so much!!💓:)

[@josieann4390]

[@michellebarrow1185]

preptober is a bit rocky for me rn but i’m working on outlining a sports romance and i’m enjoying the process for the most part!!

[@sincerelyvee]

ouu a sports romance sounds like a good read :)

[@mckenziehanna13]

Can’t wait for more Preptober vids! This is my first NaNo and I’m working on the first book in a fantasy romance trilogy!!! 😁

[@sincerelyvee]

ouuu LOVE fantasy romance!!! 💓

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

It’s so lovely to come back a manuscript after it’s been left for a while! Your spiral bound manuscript is so swanky!

[@sincerelyvee]

thank you!!

[@authorkristinealyse]

It was so interesting to hear how your perception of time in your novel changed during the re-read! Can't wait to be in that stage :)

[@sincerelyvee]

it was very interesting to me to ahaha. very exciting stage though :)

[@realisticequestrian8229]

Line editing at the moment too! I thought it would take 2-5 days too! 2 weeks later and I'm still going 🤪🤣

[@sincerelyvee]

LOL pretty much same ahaha

[@bearieee]

YESS ive been eagerly waiting for this video!!! cant wait to watch!!!!!

[@Faeree]

I need to learn how she printed off her alpha readers notes lol

[@sincerelyvee]

i went to a company called staples and paid to print out my document! i printed the copy that my alpha reader sent which had her comments in the document. let me know if that helps!

[@Faeree]

@@sincerelyvee oh I thought it was more complicated, like a different file format for printing or something lol. Thank you very much. Just found you and greatly enjoy your energy and outlook on writing

[@sincerelyvee]

@@Faeree no problem! thank you so much 🤗

[@reezers101]

Yay, I was waiting for this!
