  • Hey guys! For today's writing video I thought I'd try something different and do a 'write with me' style writing vlog. I'm currently writing the rough draft of my novel, and thought it would be fun to take you along for a day in my life as I try to write this thing! Hope you like it! :)

      Those are literally my favorites! Except Shaelin hasn't posted a video in a while which is sad.

      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety +2

      Thanks for the recommendations! I'll have to check them out!

    Thanks for sharing your rough draft word count journey with us. Some of my favourite writing CZcamsrs are Kim Chance, ShaelinWrites, Kristen Martin and Alexa Donne. Also Abookutopia and polandbananabooks sometimes post about their writings. I am currently writing a Cinderella retelling and wish you all the best in writing your book.

      Thanks for watching!
      Ohh I love retellings! Good luck with your book too! :)

    I love rewatching your old videos while waiting for a new one 😁 🥰 and now I want to go to a coffeeshop and read a Book because it looks so cozy ☺️

    Currently working on editing my 1st draft, which you can watch my experience writing it on my channel (but that's not why I'm here), and I would absolutely love to see more videos like this. Watching videos like this while writing & editing help me be more productive.

  • @sammijohnson6244
    @sammijohnson6244 Před 6 lety +5

    I like to watch Kim Chance. She's the author of the Keeper series.
    I enjoy how positive that she is in her videos. She brings a good energy.
    I am also writing a novel. I am on the second draft and getting it ready for beta readers.

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety +2

      I've never heard of her channel before, thanks for the recommendation!
      Also, good luck with your novel!! The beta reader phase is my favorite part of the process!

  • @BookHowler

  • @writative8285

    Quotidian Writer is great. I think her name is Dianne Callahan. Also, I'm working on planning my fourth novel. Enjoyed your videos!

  • @Faeree
    @Faeree Před 6 lety +2

    I love those "bolts of lightning" where something big hits you and either solves a problem or enhances the book.
    Also yes I'm in the middle of my novel, about 25k words and 12 chapters. Great job on your day!

  • @inmyreadingera
    @inmyreadingera Před 6 lety +1

    i’m not in the middle of writing a novel, but i am bouncing between some ideas to try and settle on an idea to start with for a novel! your videos are really inspiring :)

  • @nutshell93

    @LeahRummel Před 6 lety +3

    I love this! Watching NaNoWriMo videos is what inspired me to finally start writing my first book (halfway done whoo!) I love that bit at the end, I’ve been really struggling with writing every day for the past few weeks because I haven’t had a great 3k writing day in so long. But any progress is better than no progress! Excited to watch more of your writing vlogs!

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety

      That's so exciting!! Good luck with your book!

  • @santanasg8445
    @santanasg8445 Před 6 lety +1

    Totally agree, it's not really about writing thousands and thousands of word every day (that's not even the "hard" part), rather than making the habit of writing constantly (the REAL hard part)

  • @danam8400
    @danam8400 Před 6 lety +1

    I'm writing a book, too. I'd love more of these videos!

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety

      That's awesome - hope the writing is going well! So glad you enjoyed the video. I loved making it!

  • @thomas7939
    @thomas7939 Před 6 lety

    I actually just started to outline my new story, which is always fun haha. It’s a Russian inspired fantasy, and watching this video really inspired me to take the rest of my day and just write.

  • @theuniverseofthebookworm6660

    I’m also writing a book and am addicted to watching other people’s vlogs on writing as it also give me more motivation to keep writing 😊

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety +1

      same! Idk what it is about watching other people make progress that is so motivating to get my own work done!

    You’re making awesome progress on your book! Congrats! I’m currently writing two books, one solo fantasy book and one I’m co-authoring that has been in the works for quite a bit of time (and has been through several rewrites and edits) but is almost done (finally!) lol).

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety

      thank you! Oo that sounds super fun! I've always wondered what it would be like to share the process with a co-author!

  • @lettersfromachristian4535

    I'm actually working on two novels. 1 of them I want tu publish on wattpad just for fun. But the other one I want go the traditional way. Lets see how it goes. This vid was super good. Thank you

    In my opinion you don’t just have to write you can also do research like I am doing how I am doing research on a book I’m writing about a band called the cranberries I’ve been reading my books about the cranberries for many many years but I don’t just do writing some days I just do research when I don’t feel like writing or Sundays I do writing some days I do all three writing editing and research it all depends on the day sometimes I do every day and sometimes I do writing sometimes I do research it just depends on the day and I just make sure to keep my Brain in the world of writing about the cranberries

  • @oshonemoar2683
    @oshonemoar2683 Před 6 lety

    This looks amazing. Love this new 'write with me' series. You've helped me with writing my own book actually:) So I'm really thankful.
    Watching writing videos are amazing and so so inspiring. I'm glad you're doing writing videos as well because you're one of my favorite youtubers xD

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety +1

      Having the daily word count goal really helps, that way even on days when I don't feel like it, I just push through until I get to the word count!

  • @nikolagacek2348
    @nikolagacek2348 Před 6 lety

    I can write anywhere from 2 to 3 thousand words in a day. Roughly 2 or 3 hours depending on if I take breaks.

    Hi, Katie! I know I'm kinda late but life's been a mess and I'm just catching up with your videos. Love everything you do and good luck with this new amazing project. Had to ask, what app do you use to write on your computer?

  • @tillthestarsevaporate
    @tillthestarsevaporate Před 6 lety +1

    I have a question: what do you prefer to listen to while writing?

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety

      it really depends! When I'm somewhere quiet a lot of the time I don't listen to anything, but if I'm in a loud coffee shop and want to focus I'll listen to some stuff. In this video I was listening to the "indie chill" playlist on spotify

    • @tillthestarsevaporate
      @tillthestarsevaporate Před 6 lety +1

      Katesbookdate I see... I’m still trying to figure out this part. An album (sort of a concept album) by my favourite band is actually what inspired the story I’m trying to write, so listening to that is what puts me in the mood to write. But while writing, I’m either not listening to anything (very rare because I live with my family and they’re a noisy bunch) or I’m listening to a tv show or movie soundtrack that matches the theme of what I’m writing.
      Anyway, thanks for the reply! =D
      Also, sorry I forgot to ask earlier: how do you outline/plan your story? do you use a particular app/method? And how much do you actually plan a scene before actually sitting down and writing it?

  • @steph2994
    @steph2994 Před 6 lety

    I have so many ideas but I have yet to write a word. This is really inspiring though. Maybe I will settle down with one idea and start writing that novel. I had this idea for novel. Its about a girl who comes home from college for her fathers funeral.

    • @Katesbookdate
      @Katesbookdate  Před 6 lety +1

      So glad you're inspired! You should totally write that novel!

    I really need to NOT be afraid to rough draft. I feel like I feel the need to be perfect first time around when I can't. I mean, final draft isn't even perfect. How can an author who doesn't draft draft a book

      It depends on what you're getting distracted by! I put myself in a location that minimizes my distractions. Also I find that once you get started and are kind of in the zone it gets easier
