    Not all through the video, but now, regarding the "you shouldn't have a lot of worldbuilding at the end of the book" thing
    There's a quote by Brent Weeks I saw recently that I really like
    "All my life I’ve been told I can’t do things.
    They said, “You’ll never get published. You’ll never make a living at writing.” I said, “Why not?”
    When I wrote Night Angel, they said, “You can’t write the second and third books of a trilogy when the first book hasn’t even been picked up!” I said, “Why not?”
    When I started Lightbringer, they said, “You can’t have a fat kid as your main character.” I said, “Why not?”"
    (there's more, but there are spoilers there, so well)
    Rules are there to be broken. Stories can be anything you want them to be
    Best of luck, Kat. With Book(s) and all other stories that dwell in your mind, waiting to see the light :)

    ”I'm going to throw my computer into the ocean, and myself into the sun, ” and ”yeet myself out the window” are how I feel about both school and writing right about now

    I mentioned in the realization of the duology element episode that it was like Kat discovering she had twins. This one is her realizing how expensive twins are and discovering how to make the money and room in her life for kids.

    • @lavender_evie
      @lavender_evie Před 4 lety +8

      It happens all the time. I studied Sinan Antoon's 'The Corpse Washer' this semester at uni. he had originally published the book in Arabic and then translated it himself into English which is a really good read.

    • @eleftheriaiosif9243
      @eleftheriaiosif9243 Před 4 lety +9

      Of course it is! You just have to expand you vocabulary. What I do is write down descriptive or weird words I don't understand while reading that I think are gonna help me. And synonyms so I don't repeat myself too much.
      Well, Good luck!

    I cried. I couldn't be happier for you!!! Such a project, such a journey, such a rollercoaster of emotions during each revision and hanging in there for the next post it to come off the wall. AAHH so so excited for what's next, your resistance to make the sequel is very obviously going to end up in you loving the sequel even more so CAN'T WAIT! xD. Congratulations YOU FINISHED YOUR BOOK!!!

You're truly one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to writing, and seeing your excitement and joy upon the completion of your book literally had my heart racing.

    Congrats, Kat! Your writing videos are what introduced me to BookTube 6 years ago, and after seeing your writing highs and lows over the past few years (or at least, the ones you chose to share lol), it's so awesome to see how excited you are about your first complete, polished draft in several years! Can't wait to see it in stores on shelves someday, because it WILL be in stores someday (hopefully soon-ish)!
    My NaNo project this year is a 2nd draft (er... draft one of version 2 bc of all my plot edits? idk anymore lol) so this is really helping motivate me to do the thing and FINISH THE DRAFT!
