    Your enthusiasm for Book is so contagious on so many different levels. I'm excited about Book!! I'm excited that you're excited!!! I'm excited about my own writing!!! Ahh!! Writing is good!! We're in the end game!! Maybe the real end game was the Book that enthused us all along the way!

    "I don't know if I can finish this week but I can definitely make some progress" this is the right mindset but damn 25 seconds in and the struggle already hits too close to home

    @laurensantos3093 Před 4 lety +2

    You rethinking that the kitchen is your favorite room because it has food is SUCH a mood. I'm also going to steal this post-it idea cuz I've got a novel to edit either next month or in December and I want to see the progresssssssss

    First, congrats on a great week! Second, If you want to see numerical progress without word counts, one thing I do is percentage progress. Since you know how many chapters are in your manuscript, it's easy to turn that into how far along you ate to finishing the book. My current WIP is at 78%.

  • @liz-art
    @liz-art Před 4 lety +6

  • @EvieReddingWrites
    @EvieReddingWrites Před 4 lety

    Yay another writing vlog! I loved your lipstick/glasses combo on the 8th, let me first say... :D
    NaNo can put me in a weird mindset too of output=progress. I did a whole pep talk on how I hope I don't fall into thinking like that again this year.
    I really enjoyed those hanging lights too...I'm all here for those chill vibes.
    For your two computer revision methods, I do something similar, but I do everything in Scrivener by using the "snapshot" function in Scrivener to save my latest chapter on the right side, delete the main chapter in the scrivener file on the right and re-type/revise everything there.
    Great job with the writing!

  • @CareyHAuthor
    @CareyHAuthor Před 4 lety +1

    I do the same with the type-up! Except I print out a previous draft and make notes all over it and then type it out on Google Docs or Scrivener

  • @WhereintheworldisLeahJane

    Putting up a post-it for something you just finished so you can take it back down is valid.
    Ugh I relate to the feeling that you're only making progress when adding wordcount. I love that little green bar on scrivener or the chart in NaNo.
    The dark shot in the bedroom is aesthetic though so it work.
    Taking off thenpost-its first thing! Starting your day with a healthy dose of VICTORY, love that for you
    WHAT A CLIFFHANGER. I think you'll make it

    The title of this Vlog seized my attention immediately. I was watching an authortuber using a KanKan board with a million post-its. I like your post-it method a whole lot better. I have a feeling you are going to kick-ass on editing the rest of your chapters 😁

  • @alicealegrand6379
    @alicealegrand6379 Před 4 lety
