THE REVISION GRIND BEGINS | weekly writing vlog ep 9

[@withcindy]

WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU QUEEN

[@kristianisreal8689]

I remember you opening up before about how KZbin doesn't always make you happy and you've considered leaving. So seeing this and seeing how you've integrated these videos into your process as a way of staying accountable but also showing other people how something gets written, like, I don't know, I'm glad this is working out for you and I'm glad we get to come along for the ride like this, at least for the time being.

[@charlottedorey4364]

The writing vlogs make me feel so productive even though I should be working on my own writing oops

[@reminiscentoss681]

The way you talk about Book makes it sound like you're a writing witch, who found a dragon egg at the back of her local magic store and decided to buy it on a whim, and now you've become way more attached to it than you were originally anticipating. It wakes you up in the middle of the night to find it's broken into the pantry and eaten everything, it's growing a LOT faster than you thought it would, and please oh please don't tell me those were my spell books it just set on fire! You love your baby dragon with all your heart, faults and all, and although you can't wait for the day it will be strong enough to spread its wings and fly away with the other dragons, you wouldn't trade your time together for the world (in short you're a very proud parent of one very naughty baby dragon).

[@alexandraroselyn]

Season two of weekly writing vlogs is a go and all is right in the world❤️

[@alexandraroselyn]

Um also YOUR BIRTHDAY IS IN A MONTH?! OMGAH THATS SO EXCITING!!!!!! And HOW DO YOU NOT LOOK A DAY OVER 25?!! If a vampire is involved pls let me know I’d pay big to get in on that.

[@Gryffindorgirl31]

TxS= Tea Excess Kat is writing a tell-all CONFIRMED

[@Katytastic]

EXPOSED

[@emilygrasso273]

KAT IS BACK!!! (also I think TxS could mean either Time and Space or be the two main characters’ names)

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

YOURE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE

[@Katytastic]

[@toniturner6742]

I literally just screamed "yes" and now my neck feels strained, but i don't even care. Your writing videos give me so much HAPPINESS AND INSPIRATION AND HOPE ILY

[@iviiiii1384]

I’m so glad you still feel so good while writting book!!

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

Christine's book: Two Words. Kat's Book: Three Words. Jesse's book: Four Words.

[@rakshyakharel9398]

Isn't Christine's book three words? 'Again, but better'

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

@@rakshyakharel9398 Yes, but she used to have a title that was only two, but she didn't tell it so everyone just called it "two words"

[@rakshyakharel9398]

@@TheReadingWerewolf oh I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

@@rakshyakharel9398 You're welcome :)

[@maggiespages]

"your advent calendar could NEVER" i died

[@snoproblem]

Totally X-cellent Story . EDIT: Glad to see a return to the writing vlogs. Also, I really get the birthday anxiety, I have a landmark one coming up in September.

[@jeffblimisinahurry]

Kat, is your typewriter shirt from RedBubble? The artwork looks familiar! Also, my guess for TxS is that T and S are the first letters of the two main characters' names!

[@Oliivviia]

TxS = The Xylophone Symphony

[@TheWordN3rd]

Yeah, writing vlogs! Your vlogs help keep me accountable too. Lol. I'll watch and be like, "Oh, I need to work on my book." They always get me so pumped to write! Happy early birthday, btw!

[@myfisharmyisever-growing7393]

I've been watching your writing videos since you were talking about "Storyteller" in 2012 and I'm honestly so thrilled to see you making progress with another book. I am now a fellow writer myself, with a book in revision, and both you and Alexa Donne have made such helpful and interesting videos about writing that have made a thing as big as a book an easier concept to tackle. I really appreciate these!

[@camilaarmani5639]

Guess who's back? Back again! Kat is back! With weekly writing vlogs!!! It didn't rime but I don't care, I'm so excited!!! These vlogs make Mondays more bearable. Love you.

[@tlrolls]

I love how you call your novel Book, like it’s an entity. Good luck with revisions and I’ll be watching!

[@Bluffer089]

WEEKLY WRITING VLOGS! Yay.

[@otakucats675]

yay vlogs

[@Katytastic]

yay!! :D

[@ashleyjoyes4425]

yay

[@jeremiahbok9028]

New Kat writing vlog! This weekend is now perfect. Like, it was already nice, so now it's pure dark chocolate.

[@santanasg8445]

I love how excited and pumped you are about your book! Looking forward to your vlogs, they always motivate me! 💪🏽

[@cattychatt718]

Yay Writing Vlogs!!! Now I feel motivated enough to actually finish the first 3rd of my book! Time for coffee and food and then, book. And then homework, but that's far less important 😂

[@rosettemail]

31?! WHAT??? I thought you were like 25 😅😂😂

[@Katytastic]

haha GOOD I LIKE THAT XD

[@asparagusisreading]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT SO CONFUSED NOW

[@AcaciaSummers]

My immediate thought was “time and space” but then i was like ‘man i cant count’ but you go Kat! You have inspired me to get scrivener and really take writing seriously, so thank you so so much!

[@alicealegrand6379]

You're accomplishing so much, way to go! Excited for season 2!

[@JustJay]

You go girl! Every writing vlog you upload gets me so excited to read your book. :)

[@chrismarieee]

I'm so excited for you! Here's hoping this season of the writing vlog encourages me to get to my own revision. haha

[@joanaecho]

I caught myself smiling all throughout your writings vlogs. I can’t wait to read your book - if you didn’t give up, which I hope u didn’t - ly sweety

[@GhostyFrogs]

writing vlogs make me so confident to write more myself! also I really love the wall tapestry so much!

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

YAY AN UPDATE!!! So ready to continue on your BOOK journey! I volunteer as tribute once again to be beta reader, even though I'm not a professional editor or anything like that, but I'M READY!!! Also my guess is TxS is the ship in BOOK. Love to you and your process and I'm so excited for more!!!

[@hayleybrown119]

KEEP MAKING WRITING VLOGS!! I’m a teen trying to write a book and I love your videos! Keep going!👑❤️

[@ally3876]

my heart literally skipped a beat in happiness when i saw you uploaded. haven’t actually watched this yet but i’m sure it’s great!!

[@Katytastic]

[@Fred2303]

I totally feel you, Kat. I'll be 30 in March. That's so scary!

[@hayleehaux2458]

I've discovered with the several writing projects I have to work on them all in several different ways and it's irritating as hell but I'm never bored

[@bookishbruha]

I'm the girl that came running after your tweet! I find inspiring this type of videos, helps to learn other creative processes and absorb positive energy ✌️

[@palmer.f96]

Yaya!! Excited for more weekly writing vlogs!!! Also I when I saw TxS I thought immediately of Taylor swift 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TiliaHaggstrom]

These videos are super motivating and I always enjoy watching them so much, so thank you for filming and editing and posting them, it always makes my day

[@nerdydragon7534]

I love revision vlogs, especially when I am revising, which I am. Thank you for sharing.

[@MelissaKaylaXIII]

These writing vlogs give me LIFE!!

[@31_warrior]

I'm so happy that I will have a video of yours to watch every week. Yayy.

[@starshocker]

As someone who also loves writing, I must say your video just came in handy! I wish your book meet success! :)

[@yousuzers565]

If you feel like the vlogging while revising is too much then you also have the option to do writing vlogs every other week too! A good middle ground. Good luck with everything and I can't wait for the next update!

[@MyLifeFastForward]

Yassss! Have fun revising! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@jeremiahbok9028]

I was reading Darker Shade of Magic when this popped up. Reading summons Kat!

[@beautyandthebooks9967]

Jeremiah Bok that book gives me life it’s so good

[@xzonia1]

When I saw TxS, what popped into my head was Ten by Six (like saying 5x5, but for some reason Book is 10x6), and it made me laugh. X) Can't wait to find out what it really means! Looking forward to your progress updates, Kat! : )

[@lillyward-packard9131]

I've been watching all of your weekly writing vlogs over the past couple days and it's been so fun! It's so inspiring o see your enthusiasm for your story even when it gets kind of difficult. The recurring battle of Kat. vs. chronological order! The Post-It wall is so satisfying. I'm guessinggggggg T and S are the initials of the main characters...... but I understand not wanting to ruin the mystery! I'm trying to finish a rewrite draft of A Book by April 1st so I'll sort of be struggling along the same timeline as you! Good luck!

[@Katytastic]

thank you!! good luck to you too with your rewrite! :)

[@jamesilla1]

AHH SO HAPPY THAT YOU’RE BACK!! so excited to see all that you accomplish in 2019!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I start queries next week! But I have another WIP idea I've been slowly working on for 3 years and I think I'm finally ready to start writing it!

[@ThePatchworkNerd]

I'm so thrilled these videos are back! I'm revising my novel right now so this is perfect timing for motivation and camaraderie! Can't wait to follow your through your next journey with book! ^_^

[@snartman331]

queen, this is my fav series(? of this channel omg I’m so happy it’s back

[@Katytastic]

[@snartman331]

sOBBING

[@lydiamacclaren6413]

Good luck on the revisions! It's so interesting to hear other writers creative processes, so thanks for sharing (even if some of it felt spoilery for you!)

[@bibliophilebasics2028]

so glad these are back!! you can power through it!!

[@zuzanalukyova6513]

Writing vlogs always make me want to write so bad! I hope you'll continue! 😄

[@danielmacgillivray9580]

I love Kat. I always watch her before writing. Please Kat spoil us. Spoil us damnit.😎

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

Kat I know TxS is a ship name. You can't fool me, queen.

[@becca1822]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH CONGRATS XD So excited for you! My friend's mom is an author and my favorite writing tip of hers is to have dark chocolate and hot tea with you. Whenever you get stressed, eat chocolate. Whenever you need a break, sip tea. I'm rooting for you!

[@Katytastic]

thank you!!! and that's a good tip :)

[@brucedavis191]

march 10 is my birthday, to finishing TxS by the 9th is a hell if a birthday gift. ( meant as a funny coincidence, no pressure Kat) can not wait to read this one day.

[@EvieReddingWrites]

Ooo the post-it wall looked so aesthetically pleasing :D Best of luck with revisions! You got this!

[@Katytastic]

thank you!!

[@postshyhannah3654]

This was the highlight of my night. Sp happy you're back!

[@newuser5773]

[@domn6171]

You inspire me! So, so much! Your progress has really lit aa fire under me! I even delved into scrivner (but it would totally be awesome if you told us how you got to that page where ever chapeter wasl aid out with the tracker)!

[@roosreviews8945]

Good luck girl!! I know that revision grind. 2019 is our year!

[@sebastiangrey3076]

I'll admit, I screeched when I saw this video because I got so excited!!!!

[@LeahRummel]

I'm working on revisions for the next three months too! This is perfect!! Can't wait for more vlogs (:

[@kimberlyhaque4178]

[@BinocularsSwag]

[@rohat8244]

YOU CAN DO IT KAT I BELIEVE IN YOU

[@Katytastic]

YAY THANK YOU

[@DemiRae26]

I dont know what is going on with your hair in this video but I LOVE IT. It suits you so well, I was distracted by your beauty the whole video haha Also YAY FOR BOOK AND WRITING VLOG

[@user-re4kc9on6f]

It’s really funny because you referring to your wip as book reminds me of the way of expecting mums refer to their child as ‘baby’ before they’ve picked a name, lol. I mean. That would make sense. They’re our bookchildren.

[@petram2376]

Omg I am so excited for weekly vlogs!👌👌👌

[@avsambart]

Casually telling yourself off on Korean 😂😂 I do that all the time in Japanese.

[@kaylinmoore4986]

[@Katytastic]

[@asparagusisreading]

I haven’t touched my work in progress since Nanowrimo ended... I originally planned to come back to it with a new point of view and edit but now I m scared to go back and hate everything.

[@AuthorAKLim]

HUZZAH FOR THE RETURN OF WRITING VLOGS!!! Why do your hints for the title of Book(TxS) feel like the beginning of a game of Hangman? I mean I'm down lol Woah okay the Korean startled me but DANG GIRL YOUR PRONUNCIATION YAS

[@iambutpaper1172]

[@lexiejones8755]

[@hfollman98]

Please review Bridge of Clay! I'm new to your channel, and I have loved the videos I've seen. Bridge of Clay is my new favorite novel (surpassing I Am the Messenger), and I have yet to see a good review on it.

[@canadianjules]

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Good Luck with revisions!

[@hiimgrace7747]

[@LeightonReacts]

When you get to the beta stage, I volunteer as tribute! Lol (I mean, I'm also in the market for a critique partner, but I assume you already have some of those, so I'll settle for beta reading 😉)

[@thoughtsofkatie5592]
