    plotting chaos is soooo real omg. somehow this is still more coherent and organized than when i wake up in cold sweats at 3am to write ideas into my notes app, crusty eyed and half asleep. i wish you the best of luck on your book !!

    2:50 this kind of really helped me. i always want to write stuff i like but feel like no one else will. but it’ll be ok as long as i like it.

    I used to hate planning but i came to enjoy it, especially when i set up questions for myself it kind of opens everything up
    This was really fun! Excited for more videos like this

      I do think a slight love for planning was formed during this process haha

    She’s a vibe. Plotting a book feels better when you have a direction

    As a plotter type of writer I can say that this was surely something. Yeah something.

      Hahah I was wondering if anyone would notice those 😂 I promise there’s nothing… bad on them. They’re just for work and I realized they probably shouldn’t be on display for the internet

    So happy to have found this channel. And to know there's someone as nuts as me about writing. I hope to see her in a best-seller list soon.

    As a gold star Panser, I feel like it's a right of passage for us to realise we need to actually get organised 😂 super relatable, I now have like two folders of notes and theory crafting

    I relate to that feeling of wanting writing to feel therapeutic and fun, and it used to be at some point, but now it just feels hard or worse tedious. Once i wrap up my school stuff i plan on fully re-immersing myself in my writing and trying to get back into feeling like a writer again. As a pancer i relate to your struggles a lot and might to something similar to the post it note method to find some direction in my plot. PS: I'd be so interested in doing beta reading for you in the future!

    Hello! 👋🏾
    Fellow writer here (TV: "Station 19"; Graphic Novels: "Blade Runner: Origins).
    I am very often in a similar boat. And youre doing great. Creating those really dope moments as "fixed points" that need to happen and then building to it while writing is how I mold everything. I even outline my books backwards to make sure those emotional moments hit harder.
    I can't wait to read it!

  • @kayri687

    detention for failing too many math tests?? that's wild. Like why would they think detention would be a good response to that? so punitive

    • @geenahreads
      @geenahreads  Před měsícem +3

      My dad asked the same thing 😂 Did I go on to be better at math after detention? No. No I did not.

    I'ts nice to see your journey through the gruesome and messy process of writing. Although I started out of order, I'm loving this.!!

    Never underestimate the rubber duck method when trying to get yourself unstuck! Good luck with your writing! :) This was super inspiring to try to finish my own outline.

  • @MickeyRaySinghell
    @MickeyRaySinghell Před 28 dny +1

    I'm also plotting a book (and doing a LOT of world building as it's a fantasy) and I'm coming to believe that if the process isn't chaotic you're doing it wrong.

    I feel like I'm watching myself do this for the first time. The sheer amount of things that happened in this video that also happened to me is so funny it's scary.
    "Who's texting me?" is one of my favorite parts simply because I have the same problem. Getting distracted is such a time sink it's painful.
    I also love the ah-ha moments happening in real time.
    10/10. Would watch again. Wouldn't understand, but would watch.

    Why do so many people talk about chaos? It was so organised, or maybe just my brain, see it this way. Is it strange that I felt like I knew what she meant with the vague explanatory notes? Or maybe my imagination just collected the breadcrumbs and created a story out of them on its own. Thank you for the video. It gave me motivation and a new way to try again to outline mine own story.

    I genuinely cannot conceptualized the mind of a panser, I plan stories more than I write them 😅 But i can't never finish any of them so maybe i should try pansing. How does one even go about this method?

  • @Mah_Sh_ell
    @Mah_Sh_ell Před 24 dny

    First lemme tell you… you are huhlarious… your f-bombs you dropped throughout your video made me bust out laughing and I had to sub-in… second I was lead to your video and low and behold… I found myself having the same issue the first act. I wanted my first chapter to have the most dramatic scene to pull my audience in but decided to place it the end for a cliff hanger into my next book. 😮 I feel like I messed around and confused myself 😂😂😂😂😂 but watching your video helped me figure out act 1. All them f-bombs helped 😂😂😂… good luck with your writing. Thank you for sharing.

    Is it ok to drop the f bomb only 3 seconds into the video? I thought utube didnt monetize that

    • @geenahreads
      @geenahreads  Před 5 dny

      I think they have a setting or “disclaimer” that you can click for the option for such. But I’m also not monetized so I am not entirely sure 🤷🏻‍♀️
