the one where i try ✨writing for 24 hours✨ + make *a lot* of progress // a productive writing✍🏻 vlog

[@cassie_hart]

You did so good! I've never done a 'thon', but I think I'd get interrupted way too often by kids and animals and end up missing hours lol

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you! And omg, totally understandable! 🥹✨💕

[@jameswalker9248]

The video title is giving Friends episode title vibes. 8 chapters in two days is amazing, great work! Stay gold. 🌟

[@DianeMariee]

Yess! Haha, thank you! 🥹🥰

[@shay494]

I definitely want to dedicate 6 hours straight to my rough draft, but it's so hard after working 40 hours a week and using the weekend as catch-up/relax time. I might try it during winter when weather worst and won't be traveling as much. Always love your vlogs!

[@DianeMariee]

I hear you! I definitely couldn’t do this every day or even every week, but I learned that I am very capable of showing up for my art in a dedicated and significant way and that’s inspiring me to find a way to incorporate that into my life that’s more sustainable. It’s totally worth a try when you’re able to, it gave me such a sense of pride and motivation! 🥹

[@DavidDecero]

19:30 lol. I'm the same way. I've tried writing at starbucks a few times, but anytime someone can see what's on my screen, it totally takes me out.

[@DianeMariee]

Right?!

[@angeljackson7485]

That was awesome progress. Stay gold ☺

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you so much, Angel! 💕✨🥹

[@madelinemonaghan]

You did it!!! 🥳 so proud of you!! 💛💛💛 and going to an apple orchard is a dream right now!

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you!!! ✨🥰

[@MissCapturedSoul]

This is sooo motivating and I want to do a writeathon again soon! ❤

[@DianeMariee]

Yessss! I’m so glad this was motivating for you! 🥹 Definitely do one again soon! How did your first one go?!

[@MissCapturedSoul]

@@DianeMariee My first was 8 hours, and I've done three 4-hour ones! In all I managed to write around 1k words per hour. ☺

[@DianeMariee]

@@MissCapturedSoul that’s amazing!

[@briellewrites]

Just discovered your channel and so excited to binge your videos!

[@DianeMariee]

😭💕🙌🏻🫶🏻 discovered you recently as well and have been loving your content/vibe! ✨

[@jess_writes_a_book]

What a fun video! I’m kind of intrigued to try this 😬

[@DianeMariee]

I totally recommend trying it! 🥹✨

[@madelinejameswrites]

Ooh such a fun idea! I've been feeling like doing some kind of thon lately

[@DianeMariee]

Ahh, do itttt!! 🙌🏻✨💕

[@FrontwaysLarry]

24:30 i was both scared and impressed for a second at the thought of you drinking just STRAIGHT apple cider vinegar as a treat, holy crap. lol

[@DianeMariee]

😂😂😂

[@tammiegipson8870]

Way to go with your 24 hour writing vlog. I have tried this before sort of where I wrote for half an hour and read for half an hour. I love writing challenges. That keyboard is really cute. I have one similar in a maroon and gray color.

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you! And yess, I’d love to try a 24 hour challenge where I alternate between writing and reading, that’s so great! Ooh maroon and grey sounds so pretty!

[@BreeBuonomo]

great progress! That was incredible and I'm glad you got to do that! I have never done it for writing (closest I got was two all-nighters) but I have done a 24 hour reading challenge. It might have been pre-youtube for me because I did it on Instagram (I think it's now one of my highlights actually!) It was a lot of fun but I definitely didn't prepare as nicely as I wish I did (I just kind of grabbed random short books and i hated three of them lol)

[@DianeMariee]

Ahh thank you! And omg lol I’d love to do a reading challenge sometime, maybe we can plan one together! We can prepare ourselves properly and keep each other motivated 💕🥹

[@BreeBuonomo]

@@DianeMariee Oh I would love that!! We could even host reading sprints online together 🥰

[@DianeMariee]

@@BreeBuonomoYASS THE IDEAS ARE BREWING!

[@BreeBuonomo]

@@DianeMariee I’M DOWN LETS PLAN

[@grapecee_writes]

good job on completing such a cool challenge!! 6 hours of dedicated writing each day is super productive for sure:D I like to set aside 'writing days' myself for this exact purpose, just getting a lot done in as little time as possible, and it does tend to work pretty well. cheering you on as you finish the rest of your chapters!

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you so much! And yes, I’ve certainly learned a lot from this experiment that I want to incorporate into building a productive writing routine/practice. I think setting aside days where writing is priority for a few hours is so helpful. 🥹

[@JoeyPaulOnline]

Lol at drinking vinegar like damn girl! 😂 But glad things are progressing well! You got this! 💜

[@DianeMariee]

LOL I could neverrrr! And thank you! 🥹

[@AmaraFranklin]

4:20 You got this!!! (I comment as if this is happening in real time 🤣)

[@DianeMariee]

Hahah, thank you!

[@excusemeyourock]

this was so lovely and cozy that now I'm feeling like I can totally do a 24 hour write-athon too hehe

[@DianeMariee]

Aww, I’m so glad! And yesss, you can absolutely do it! 🥹

[@AmaraFranklin]

8 chapters!!! That is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[@DianeMariee]

RIGHT?!😭

[@MrRosebeing]

In the voice of Inigo Montoya: "I do not think 24 hours means what you think it means". In fairness, I wouldn't write for 24 hours straight, either.
