t a g s: week in the life of a creative writing student, writing vlog
#writingvlog #authortube
veeeee! new writing vlog?? YESSS
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm also a creative writing major and intro to literature is KILLING ME. We're currently having to analyze a bunch of short stories and it's just not my cup of tea but I'm trying 😅
i feel that lol🥲 rooting you on!!
i'm also a creative writing major and currently taking LIT and i want to die hahaha it's TERRIBLE analyzing short stories
Vee, looks like you are doing so well! I think you gravitating to books on grief or write about grief as it is so therapeutic and I think tackling grief when your in the midst of grief is very healthy for the mind body and soul.
Also, you’re so inspirational! I am off my writing game BAD lol 😂
it’s truly been so helpful!🫶 and thank you! my motivation for writing comes in waves so i’m trying to ride it out rn :)
Lovely vlog, Vee! My fav loglines are 2 and 5. They're all so cool though. I hope you find success with your writing! Rooting for you. Always. ❤
tysm!!!☺️
This is so inspiring Vee... Keep the spirit girl. Hope one day to collaborate in one writing... Good luck darling
thank you so much matilda💓
I love your vids vee , they helped me get out of writers block thank youuu
aw i’m so glad!🫶🫶
I looooved this video, Vee!! Stay beautiful and keep working hard!!~ ♡♡
🦋 🦋 🦋!
thank you!💓💓💓
Loglines 1 and 3 really spoke to me and intrigued me (especially 3!!) But it was SO HARD to choose my favs, they're all so well written :)
aw tysm!!!☺️
you have such a relaxing voice!
AW thank you☺️
Can't believe you're keeping us hanging with the Fiverr feedback! No fair! 😂
hahaha sorry!😭 i’ll try to have the next vlog out soon
Lol I try not to read books about what I'm currently writing at the time. Not sure why, but I just don't want to get influenced and accidentally copy something I guess.
that’s fair!!
Great vlog Vee...🤩🤩🤩!!!
Heres hoping you receive some helpful feedback from your Alpha reader.
And GREAT going that you can maintain the writing scope of more than one novel...😎!!!
Happy Writing to you in February...🥳🥳🥳!!!
thank you so much! happy writing to you too☺️🫶
Hey Vee! I'm a new subscriber, but I do have a question. I'm a young author, I'm in my early teens but have been writing stories for a couple of years, and I've been wanting to include diversity in my books. I've tried watching other videos, but none of them have been helpful (i'm a white writer by the way). I know that you are able to include diversity in your book ideas, but I don't even know where to start. Do you possibly have any ideas or tips that you may be able to give me to start out? Thank you so much, and I love your videos!
hey☺️ that’s so great! my tip for writing diverse characters is to do research on their cultures, ethnicities and identities so it feels authentic and to avoid stereotypes!
@@sincerelyvee thank you! I really appreciate the reply by the way! I'll try to do that. Gladly, I have people in my life that are the same race as the people I wanna write about, so I guess that makes it easier. But, again, I really appreciate the reply! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos! ^^
I have an honest question. How do you protect your work when sending it out to alpha or beta readers? I'm scared that my work might get stolen.
a very valid concern! honestly it’d be really hard for someone to steal your work because it’d be a ton of effort (they’d then have to edit it, query it, publish it) that isn’t worth the risk. personally, i find solace in having multiple drafts and typed out documents of my novel as proof that i wrote it
@@sincerelyvee that makes sense. Tysm for answering! Gives me a lot more confidence.
Hii my pretty vee
I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to open my own CZcams channel I am also a University student and working in my first book
sending lots of love 🦋
Hooray to Europe!! Where in particular did you and your friend group decide to go for it?
The meal prepping is indeed clutch. And I have respect for anyone who can find a way to reheat chicken without it tasting like either a burnt crouton or wet fish.
Screenwriting is the most fun part of filmmaking ... which is more the bias of my personal experience, but might objectively be a fact since shooting a film and editing a film are both raging frustrations at the best of times. (And yet compared to getting a film financed, they are a piece of cake.)
Of your loglines, 3 and 4 are the keepers. If I were the producer I'd be most excited about #3 ... but just as a heads-up, when it comes to getting the film made, #4 will be less expensive.
thank you, i’m so excited! we’re going to berlin, copenhagen, prague, vienna and budapest! sometimes it’s arduous enough to edit a 20 minute video for youtube so i couldn’t even imagine the frustrations of editing a film😭 those other aspects of filmmaking outside of screenwriting intrigue me though! thanks for your input on the loglines☺️
3 of those 5 cities you mention are spectacular go-tos for literature but ESPECIALLY for music. So whenever friends of mine are going there, I have specific places to tell them to watch for:
Copenhagen has Hans Christian Andersen letters at the Royal Library;
Prague has the Moravian Museum where you might be able to see scores by Leos Janacek;
Vienna has the City Library where they house scores by Franz Schubert; the Society of Friends of Music with archived scores by Johannes Brahms; and the Arnold Schonberg Center.
I'm not sure how easy Berlin will be to navigate. I know their State Library has original copies of Bach's Mass and Beethoven's 9th, but the tourist traffic might be an inconvenient handful if your schedule is already packed.
Be careful in Budapest when it comes to maintaining a hygienic stay ... Hungary is still having severe struggles with Covid compared to other countries in the area.
❤❤❤❤

wait!! what happened to project soulmates??
i have a playlist on my channel that should go over it’s journey until the end! essentially i took it as far as i could and decided to shelve it instead of query it as i didn’t think it’d be the best fit for my debut!
Is creative writing your major or minor ?
major :)
