- In this video we do a fun writing experiment where I start my new draft at a COWORKING CLUB! We try out some cool new spaces, eat a lot of stroopwafels, and I give some Project Gemstone updates. 🧇

Where is your favorite place to write? ✨
writing in cozy and aethetic cafe's is one of the grates feelings ever
aahhh it's so cool to see it! I didn't realise how cozy the space looked I lovee their vibes, so eclectic!
ahh and omg your shoutout to my 10k thank youuu you're so sweet!!! it was so fun to watch your own journey and totally agree with your conclusions, I defo wanna do more of those weekends
Yess let's do it again soon! 🤘
The coworking space looks SO cozy! I wish I had one near me. The idea of a virtual retreat is such a good idea! I'm looking forward to making more writer friends so I can do this.
It was really nice to set aside the time! Thank you for watching ❤️
I like your idea of a virtual retreat with your friends. I think virtual retreats or retreats in general helps maintain a sense of community amongst writers even in these unprecedented times. Also, I absolutely love your tenacity in going straight into revisions as soon as you finished your draft - you are definitely setting a great example of discipline hahaha! I hope I can do the same. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to more updates about 'project gemstone' in the near future!
My favorite place to write is either at a cafe (not too much loud music) or in a quiet room.
Thank you so much!! you are absolutely right about the sense of community :)
This was cool! I love those spaces. We have a coworking space here but I can't swing it - I love my Sunday morning library sessions though. It's the only uninterrupted time I get and it's BLISS.
Yesss love that library time!! ✨✨
16:00 "At least on this project I was a better writer than I was before." What a modest way of saying you have experience.
Not sure how rare a breed coworking spaces are. The expense isn't a surprise, but neither is your suitability to that environment ... would it be accurate to say that once you absorbed the calm of sitting in Switchyards, you spread your own sense of calm to whoever else was there and it became a cycle? (Or was it really a ghost town?)
Haha thanks Adam! The place definitely has an extremely chill vibe, even on the days that I later went back and it was "busy". I guess they just attract calm people, no complaints!
❤
This prompted me to check out coworking spaces in my city and sign up for one -- since I study online, I've been wanting something exactly like this to help me get out the house each day!! Thank you for the idea!! :)
Aw that's great! I hope it works wonderfully for you 🤞 happy studying! ✨
I need to channel your energy from the beginning of this video 😂
same honestly 😂
I am late to the party here, but I enjoyed your review of Switchyards! I have never used a co-working space, so it was interesting to hear how those spaces helped you create. Also, I love the cozy industrial aesthetic (ei. slate gray pipes, exposed brick) that is popular in Atlanta businesses!
Wow all of those switchyard locations look absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad you had such a good time writing this month (and by this month of course I mean three months ago 🤣). I love the idea of doing something a little bit more special to kickstart writing a new book or a new draft, that sounds like such a fun idea!
hehe thank you Marta!! it was very fun indeed 🥰
The switchyard spaces look really cool and I love that dog in shoes sticker you got haha. Thank you for getting me in the mood to write today (although I’m also trying my darndest not to be jealous that your draft turned out so well and you can keep so much of it!!)
Thanks Phoebe! I'm still kind of in shock tbh it may never happen again 😂
Hi Anna. I loved this vlog. I've been thinking about using a coworking space to switch things up. I'm absolutely going to look at local places, hopefully its as cute as switchyards 😁
Thank you so much, Porscha! I hope you find a great spot locally!
Omg these spaces looks so cozy and green, love it! I would love if my hometown had something like this, but I'll have to settle on cafés and diners lol. Only problem is that I rack up bills every time I write at a café... XD But out-of-the-house writing is crucial to my productivity. Like you, when I'm home, all I see is stuff that needs to be done or stuff I can play with... so many distractions, so little focus. Thanks for sharing your writing retreat, virtual writing retreats looks fun
Thank youuu and yes the greenery was such a vibe! I hope more co-working spaces like this start becoming more popular for sure.
Ohhh, I've often wondered if a co writing space would be useful.
Welcome back. And, yes, writing a novel is intense so I can understand your need to be MIA for a while.
Thank you! I hope your projects have been going well 🧡
also are we in SYNC or what I think we've both been MIA for a similar amount of time and back around the exact same time I love that :D
I know I was just thinking this!! 😅
I had a quick question for you! How did you print your zero draft in that spiral-bound notebook? It looks super handy for editing in one seamless go!
It's great to see a video from you on CZcams again! You're one of my favorite channels to watch! :)
(And my favorite place to write is, like you, either my little office or couch, haha).
Oh my gosh, thank you Krysta! 🧡🥹
For the spiral bound copies, I order personal use copies through LuLu. The spiral bound is extremely handy for editing and rereads! I made a whole video about the LuLu process on my channel if you haven't seen it yet :)
Thanks for watching! 🧡
@@AnnaRobbinsWrites Thank you so much, Anna! 🥰 I must've missed that video when you posted it - heading to go find it and watch it now! That's really helpful. I'm nearing the completion of my zero draft as well and love the idea of combing through it in a notebook like that to prep for the first draft phase! :')
Thanks so much for always putting out such fun videos! Your vlogs are my favorite things to watch with a cup of tea. I always get in the mood to write after seeing you be so productive; it's a huge help! 💪
Excited to one day read your story - you're doing an amazing job!
@@hexibora wahhh thank you! thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such nice encouragement 🥲🥲 that means a lot to me truly!! 🧡
