Starting Over. | Writing Vlog #1

[@queenmarvel9665]

You should do a video on how to get started with a novel. Like if you should jump right into plotting or draft characters first-just tips and tricks on how to get your ideas out of your head and turn them into something worth reading.The beginning can always be intimidating-especially when you feel like you have a billion ideas all at once-and I would love to know where a good place to start would be! p.s I always look forward to your videos. They make my day so much better 💗

[@azu7495]

Adairia Nicole Exactly. I would love to know too

[@claralovescats123]

Yessss

[@ohimdying]

Have you read zenith? Do you really want that from her? I mean you can already find many videos about it from people who actually don't rip off characters from someone else's book lol

[@queenmarvel9665]

I am dying yeah, I do! I think it would be interesting to see her take on it considering everyone does it a different way.

[@erikapriscilla2610]

yes please!

[@zoezgodzinski4517]

I would really love a video about the publishing process

[@abookutopia]

I will totally be making one of those!

[@midnightmoonlight8612]

YES PLEASE!!

[@bensolouwu]

i would love to see a video on the encyclopedia you created for your book, and also a video on how you organize the rest of your writing files! my own are kind of a hot mess right now, and i'm always interested in seeing what programs authors use and how they organize everything

[@AClockworkReader]

I’m so excited for this series!!!! So proud of you 💓💓💓💓

[@BasicallyBrittx]

So excited for more writing vlogs! Can't wait to find out more about Project Red! I'd love to see a writing Q&A video :)

[@tessavery2151]

I'm so happy your doing writing vlogs!!

[@abookutopia]

woohoo!!!

[@evanwhitchurch5478]

I’ve seen a lot of negativity around zenith, would you ever consider making a video addressing that and kind of the pressure of being an author and the stress of people’s reactions to your release?¿

[@SarahBella1172]

I want to see all those videos you listed! I’m excited to follow along this journey with you.

[@brittloos1334]

Hey Sasha, just wanted to say you're such an inspiration to me. I myself love writing too and your videos really encourage me to continue writing

[@abookutopia]

Ahh that makes me so happy to hear!!

[@booksmusicdrew5379]

Can’t wait to add it to my TBR list when it comes out. I would be excited to see how you write and what programs you use. Can’t wait for Nexus, too.

[@JMShelley]

Yay! So great to see your writing videos again Sasha! Feeling so giddy that you'll be taking us through your process. I love to study writing craft, other authors work, to see how I can improve as a writer too! So would absolutely LOVE to hear about what you learnt in your year of studying writing craft, how you found your writers 'voice,' and what books you recommend reading on the craft. Also would love to know your process when it comes to brainstorming ideas/outlining. And deffo second the notion about bringing the writing vlogs back! They were so motivating to watch! Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring so many creators! x

[@brynnsumers]

For your next writing video, I would love a video on how to start a book. Like how to write the first chapter. I'm writing a book and right now I'm trying to get my ideas down and most of my research finished before i begin but in the past I have had trouble with writing first chapters and I would like a little insight on how to write first chapters and how to begin writing a book. Really excited for your next book!!

[@brooklynnnnereads]

Love seeing behind the scenes look at writing a novel. So excited to one day read Project Red!

[@xCherylDurnin91x]

I am so glad authors are tapping into the Celtic mythology and folklore. There is endless inspiration to be found in it, and I am not just saying that as a biased Irish. Can't wait to watch the series and read the book

[@taylorkirk9188]

I'm so excited to see more and more of Project Red be revealed to all of us! It's getting me super pumped to know more about the story and the characters! eeeeek! Can't wait for more of this writing series.

[@abookutopia]

[@stephanne3522]

The book haul. I've been so iffy about which books I should get to help me with my writing, so anything from you would be amazingly helpful!

[@gregoreads4300]

I'm so hyped to follow your Project Red journey! I love how much you're in love with it!

[@katfin2531]

Your project red sounds so good. I’m excited to read it one day! Best books are always better when they are researched.

[@agameofpages9818]

Great video! I would love to see which books, stories and folklore you have used to shape your own novel!

[@leaheart4411]

I am also writing a book however I know I can definitely improve on my writing and plot. I'm so excited for these vlogs! You're such an inspiration and you motivate me to improve my videos for my booktube channel! So excited to read another one of your books📚📚❤️

[@liveathousandlives9915]

All of those ideas sound great. I am so excited for this series

[@aval00]

I'm so excited to see these new vlogs! Maybe later on when we know a bit more about the book you could make a video describing the process of doing research and how you combine your story with the folklore and the history of Scotland! Whenever I write, it's the research aspect that gets me stuck!

[@saintbastien69]

So happy to see this video!!! I can’t wait. I would really like to see the full process of getting a book published because it’s a goal for the future and haven’t found a clear explanation anywhere. Love you Sasha!

[@Jen-fantasyandfiction]

I'd love to see what books you used to research celtic folklore. I've always been interested in the topic as well.

[@SarahAtHeart]

Looking forward to this series! I would like to see a video on the writing aides you use. Are there books or websites that you have found helpful?

[@suneetamithani]

Good luck Sasha! Definitely looking forward to seeing the videos and your journey along this book

[@lillianpetersen1256]

I would love to see you're research books and how you make notes but I also feel like that could be shown and answered in a qna so it's what ever you want to do. Excited to read Project Red when it comes out!

[@itsschiara]

I really needed this series because I seriously need motivation to write and you always manage to motivate me and inspire me so thank you, Sasha♡

[@BellePerkins]

This book sounds amazing! I read all the urban fantasy and folklore inspired stories I can get my hands on--research is my favorite part!

[@leighjordan6604]

i want to know more about the publishing aspect of writing a book!

[@VisualSpotlight12]

A book haul with books on writing would be INCREDIBLE!!!! Hope you are well, Sasha! (Also, I am heavily into Celtic mythology so I CANNOT WAIT!!!!)

[@sarahhackworth9917]

This inspired me to write today in a million different ways! I can't wait for the rest of this series.

[@grey-vb7ox]

I’m SO ready for this 😄❤️

[@abookutopia]

YAY!

[@gemmagunning742]

OMG! I love Celtic folklore! I’m from Ireland so I’m basically raised on Celtic folklore and stuff so that’s probably why I love it so much!

[@ShadowRayne16]

Celtic folklore!? I'm here for it! I can't wait.

[@trewaldo]

A very honest walkthrough for novel writing. Love the energy and excitement you exhibit in this entire video, Sasha. I will follow this series until I get to write my own novel as well. Keep it up! 😃

[@bethanylh96]

Can't wait for this series. Could you do videos on all the research you've done for the story and how you planned the characters?💕

[@kelsnz3921]

So excited for this series! I would love to know more about the publishing process :) well done Sasha! Xx

[@katiadjaoued3709]

so glad your doing this series I love the one Christine is doing and i'm sure yours will be so interesting you should do a video with recomendation on ways you learned about writing and tools you used that would be great

[@baleigh5610]

I really like to hear how you’re taking the time to make sure the book is the best you can make it. All of the research and time put into it will hopefully make it an excellent book. 😁

[@wellsfiction711]

Nice! Sounds good Sasha. I got the idea for my character from you. My writing journey has been a struggle, but so many wonderful writers have entered my life. Love every second of it.

[@EvieReddingWrites]

Yay, I love watching AuthorTube videos of all kinds, and I am looking forward to watching more writing content. Good luck!

[@angelkane5067]

absolutely can not wait for this book !!!!!

[@JuliaLeighE]

Ugh I am so excited for this book! I’d love to see a video about the books you’ve been using for folklore research!

[@eltrompetachica]

Literally all the video ideas you said at the end. We need them all.

[@materamabilis3]

I'm currently writing my first novel and I found this writing vlog very helpful! Can't wait for the updates

[@katherinecamille4219]

Do a video on descriptive writing. For me, that's the hardest part. I can't describe the emotions or scenery like those authors I look up to.

[@PadmeHum523]

This was such a wonderful video, Sasha! I'm currently querying my first novel to publishers (with no success) and I've been really down and uninspired to keep writing other projects. This video really helped to remind me how much fun it is to fall in love with a new project. Thank you so much, girl!!

[@michelleh4117]

Can you show us how you use scrivener?? Thank would be a helpful and fun video!! Thanks and I love your channel!

[@israaahmed7168]

YES!!! BOOK HAULS AND YOUR RESEARCH BOOKS!!!!

[@leathehatless]

I would love to see what tools you use for your novel. How do you manage to find time to write or do you structure your day in a way you can work on multiple phases of the novel? (Writing, editing, research, etc...)

[@luisareis1824]

Please make a video showing your research books! Celtic folklore is a fascinating topic! Can’t wait for more info on project red, you’re clearly very inspired and dedicated, and I’m sure it’s going to be an amazing story

[@staceyscorner3880]

Cant wait to hear more about project red i love reading book based here in Scotland xx

[@sydneysomer9958]

Book haul on the books you felt helped you become a better writer.

[@CFAnne]

Yay! Can’t wait to read Project Red eventually!

[@Xhexgold]

Love this video! I can't wait to hear more about Project Red!! I would love a haul of useful writing books since I am starting to write my own novel as well and I'm looking for writing books! Thanks for all the work that you do! Love your work 😍

[@kelly.g8816]

I haven’t seen anyone done this before, I’m so excited to see these videos. 😄

[@SincerelyTahiry]

IM SO EXCITED . Just last night i was saying i would love for u to make a series of videos like this. Im writing my own novel and its hard balancing it out with school and just life. I would love for you to do a q & a

[@giannasimonelli1777]

Hi 👋🏻 I would like to know if the name if the project (red) has a story behind it. Another thing I’m curiosa about is hoy you manage to connect the ideas, where they come from (experiences, ideals, for example). Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾

[@26121996Maria]

really excited about your writing vlogs series. definitely can't wait for videos with tips and tricks etc.

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

i'm glad you're doing this i just thought of a story idea and need the inspiration to actually finish it

[@nadinep.4929]

I have written a lot of short stories from a young age, but have a harder time writing enough for an actual novel. I have a few stories in my head that want to be written, I just don't know how to start. Any information that you can give me to help me start my stories and hopefully published novels would be greatly appreciated.

[@bmcdermott]

I love this type of video! I would love to see which books helped you to improve your writing and also you talking about how you defined your personal writing style :)

[@morganhunter3355]

Can’t wait for this new novel!! You are what got me into Outlander and i am slowly but surely making my way through the first book because I am just cherishing each beautifully written sentence!! You are also the reason why I fell in love with reading over a year ago!

[@sophiewebster5]

Would love a video on writing and writing tips for people with busy lives! (Also so keen for your writing vlogs, I love watching them!!)

[@cutepiechloe]

It would be really cool to see a video on your research especially with regards to writing a novel based in a different country!

[@luisaperks6730]

a video on the development and writing process, and if you had writers block when trying to come up with your plot or how did it all come together! Also you mentioned apps that are helpful with writing that would be great too!

[@katyoung5664]

So proud of you Sasha❤️ can’t wait to support all of your upcoming books and projects😘💕

[@haileyorwhatevaa709]

So excited

[@kaylasbookishworld1686]

I would love to see a book haul! And I can't wait until we know the true title of Project Red!

[@blood.poison]

I would love a haul with books on how to become a better writer and improve your writing. And maybe a video on how to get started with a novel. Loved the video btw

[@DauntlessBookReader]

Sasha you sold me on project red with Celtic mythology I really like the sound of that aside from it being urban folklore fantasy I honestly can't wait to hear more about it in future videos :)

[@winnyfredxxxx]

It's seriously my biggest dream to write my own book! This is so cool!

[@samanthasavage625]

Would definitely love to see a video of apps and software you use to help write and compile everything into your novel that you are writing! 🧡

[@wangkong905]

Yayy I loved the idea of this series when you started it last time but I'm excited for this one even more!

[@gabbyagustin]

i was just literally rewatching your old writing vlogs then saw this vid!!!!! ahhh so glad you’re back with these vids!! can’t wait to see your journey

[@cardinalsluvbooks2183]

I am LIVING for all of these writing vlogs from my favorite booktubers! I cannot wait to follow you along your journey, Sasha. I can tell that this is a book that exists wholly from your heart, which can only mean that it will be UTTERLY SPECTACULAR when the final product comes. :)

[@abookutopia]

CardinalsLuvBooks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amaliea2966]

I'm really excited :)) If you could film possibly everything, that would be great! :D

[@BohoBookworm]

YES!!! I need this!! I am busy doing Camp Nanowrimo and working on my latest writing project. Your new writing videos are going to help me so much!!

[@avasadlowski4367]

I can’t wait to read it!!! Great video as always❤️

[@saraf5603]

OMG I'm so exited and at the same time so proud of you. I've been waching you since more or less 2013 and I love to see how you are suceeding!!! Plus, you got me into the whole Scotland obsession thing and It has become a part of me so thank you!! The only thing I'm sad about is that you never come to Spain so I can meet you!!

[@heatherandanthony2300]

You go girl!!! Happy writing

[@claralovescats123]

I would love a video about how to start a book. Or writing tips and advices! I love you soooo much 💗

[@emcoffeebreak]

I've missed your writing vlogs! Already knew I'll love this!

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

you're book sounds amazing! mine is a fantasy fae novel and i got the idea while reading cruel prince by hollie black. I'm half way through that book and love it

[@imogenkulavuz]

So excited to see your first solo novel! Especially because of hot Scotts 😻🔥

[@BooksofMorgus]

Can't wait for Project Red, folklore/fantasy are some of my favorite genres haha As for your Q&A, I would really like to see a writing Q&A or a video with some tips for aspiring writters ;) Love your videos!

[@Wolfhailstorm]

This is so inspiring. I've yet to read Xenith, but please know I'm so proud of what you have and will continue to accomplish

[@drobertucci5109]

This is perfect timing for July camp nanowrimo

[@charleslyger2968]

I love this! I’m excited to see more videos about this journey, I’m also working on my own books and to be honest you have been a big inspiration and motivator for me, I see the passion and dedication that you have for writing and that motivates me and also somehow helps me not be afraid of the time it could take for me to finish my books or get them published and instead enjoy my own journey as a writer. I am also a musician so juggling two creative passions has been tricky, I find it hard to be jumping between them and remaining creative and having a natural flow like I would if I only focused on one. I don’t know if you have any other passion besides writing, if you do it would be nice to hear your experience with dealing with multiple creative outlets! Thank you keep up the amazing work!

[@BookMarked_Katie]

doing a synopsis is actually a good idea. I usualy try to outline but its like one sentence and then I forget where I was going with it haha. I hate when I put a story down that was going to be good and then I just blank on where it was going haha

[@SuperHappyNotMerry]

It's so fun to see you grow as a writer, I'm oddly proud

[@randomreader]

Project Red sounds so intriguing! Rarely do we see Keltic Mythology in YA, so I am very excited about it! Writing videos are so motivating!

[@sawyerrials1688]

I wold love to see a video about the books you read to improve your craft.

[@sandyreadsalot]

So excited about Project Red and can't wait to hear more about it!

[@isa-xq1wi]

Your writing vlogs are the best.

[@MsLPSFOREVER]

I want to know how to edit your pages for submission/query. Like the margins and all that and what to put in them and how it's supposed to look before you query. That would be super helpful! That's literally all I have left to do before querying my one novel and literally NOBODY ever answers this question! Thanks Sasha! Love your content and have an awesome day! ❤❤😊

[@isabellecharles6821]

A video on writing!! ❤️ Love you

[@rhyedimarco]

I’d love to know your process on sitting down and writing. Like do you fix a drink and have a playlist to get into the writing mood? I love seeing how other people write. And I’m so flippin’ excited about this vlog series and Project Red! 🤩☺️💕

[@MsLisalynette]

I want videos of ALL OF THE ABOVE! as someone who has just decided to start writing a novel that is as far as I've gotten ....deciding to write. Now I have no idea where to start and it's really overwhelming I have ideas but I need a cohesive process !!!
