Thank you so much for my signed copy of Ashley Poston’s book. I love it! 😊

It was fun to look back at one of our writing sessions and the Tegan & Sara book event! 😊 These writer’s nights have been so helpful, and so much fun too. I really enjoyed your Halloween story! And I liked seeing more about the writing process that went into it. The book event and the whole day was so fun! I’m reading their other graphic novel, Jr High, and I can’t wait to read Crush too. Oh those day-after muscle pains after an intense workout! They can really throw me off and make me not want to move. Wonderful vlog, as always! 😊

bus stop in the rain is classic spooky vibes I think the fan-idol (term used loosely) relationship dynamic is an interesting one. In general, I feel like idols are best left in their own bubbles and not interacted with per se (because then you realise they're human too, with all the faults and flaws that entails)

I had no idea that Tegan and Sara published books that's so cool! I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I ever came face to face with one of my role models either. I'm terrified of them letting me down because what if I built them up too much in my mind?? They are just regular people like everyone else and you know what they say never meet your heroes... but that's such a negative way to think I know lol its such a conflicting thing. Also, I love your short story idea! Such a cute concept 💖

Loved this, Nicole! Always so much fun spending time with you online and offline, can't wait for our next yummy date! ❤

Always enjoy your vlogs, whether they are writing vlogs or time-with-me vlogs! 😊 I am definitely going to look for and try ready-to-cook soup kits. I didn’t know about them before! The chocolate-y drink you had looks absolutely delicious. ☕️ Really enjoyed Puppycat’s cameos throughout the vlog as well! Especially the car air freshener with his funny pose. 🐱

Haha this is me when I edit my videos.. i have so many clips of me randomly doing things and when I get around to editing- I don’t have the energy anymore 😂 or sometimes it’s just too long and condensing them is a pain 😅

The Twine tool you've mentioned sounds super interesting! I'll have to look into it, thanks for sharing about what you learned in that video game writing class!

hurricane milton wiped out my power and i've been so sad missing all my favorite youtuber's videos so even though it's draining my battery, i'm so happy to watch this video 🫶 i always look forward to these uploads, it reminds me that writing isn't as daunting of a task as it seems, because every writer shares that struggle(self doubt and all) keep at it, we'll always be here to watch 💞

I definitely want to see how you create a murder mystery birthday party!!! Tbh my theory about YT is: a lot of people watch videos for the vibes/creator, so even if they make a video outside their "usual," people will still watch.

Letting you know that I'm here! I find your vlogs super comforting to have on while I'm working; your sincerity and warmth make you one of my fav Authortubers! :)

The cooking kit looks really cool!

YOU STILL HAVE THE BIRTHDAY DEATH BOARD🤭🤭

I feel like a go from “I write every day!” To “oof-I haven’t written for a month (or more)” regularly. Last night I set a goal for myself of writing 650 words/day until I start grad school in November! Hopefully it’s a goal I can stick with 😅

Thanks for sharing your writing goals, Nicole! I’m so excited to work on and eventually read our Halloween short stories in writer’s group! 🎃 I also find that challenges or structured plans propels my writing forward, but I think it’s best that I go back and forth between pushing myself for a bit and then taking it slow instead of having a consistent writing routine. I also think it’s good to take a break from writing when needed to focus on other things. The writing will always be there when we return, and we are still writers in the meantime. ✏️

Always look forward to your videos! You used such a beautiful notebook! (I get too "scared" to use such nice ones.) I've found the key to getting myself to work on the second draft of my story is to read. As soon as I start reading, I'll get the motivation to write. As for scheduling... if I skip one day, I feel like I've failed entirely. So having set deadlines doesn't work for me. (Also, those hobo mainichi dairies are cute but expensive lol... and I live in Japan!)

If you really start repeating thoughts, you can begin to change your life to a tremendous degree

ive been struggling like crazy to get any sort of writing done! However, I find that during October and Novemeber when everyone is coming together as a community for writing challenges really gives me a boost of motivation and sense of community! you've been my little boost of motivation for today, thankyou!💖

I’ve historically been a pantser in every aspect of my life, but I recently started making daily lists as well and I’ve found a lot more time for creativity by adding that simple structure! I’m more of a plantser than I thought lol

seems very delicious i wanna cook right away

In most cases, I also can’t write unless my space is clean. The balance I’m trying to find is how clean exactly it needs to be before I write, otherwise I’m doing a deep clean of the entire apartment and procrastinating the writing. 😅 Really enjoying our writing group of three and excited to see what we’ve all accomplished by the end of the year! 😊

Romancing the Beat is my writing bible! So happy I bought it bc it helped me a lot in terms of writing the beats. I was a pantser but I’ve become a plantser since reading the book lol

Beginnings are difficult. I feel like each project has at least one false start - you start too early, or too complicated, or the main character isn't active enough (that was my issue). Good luck with your second (?) draft! It's easier to continue than it is to start (though you wouldn't know from my writing progress recently OTL)

Im so glad to see more writertubers!! This keeps me accountable and good luck with your writing (new sub here!!)

I can write when there's clutter, but it's def easier to not have 'I need to clean up' in the back of my head while writing so relatively neat or clean (or...just the mess being, ahem, out of sight lol) is helpful. I'm glad the writing session with friends helped ('it's not perfect, but it's there' is such a great mentality and I def need to do better to keep that one in mind for myself)!

I love the gentle vibes of your videos, it's so cozy <3

Hi Nicole! Wonderful writing vlog as always, with cozy and inspiring chats and aesthetic shots and editing techniques. ✨ Your writing vlogs often include helpful advice or reminders I and many other writers need to hear. Today it was a reminder that writing is fun. I’m trying to write myself out of a slump as you know, and this was such a good reminder. It’s a hobby, it’s creative, and it’s so much fun. Go Team 3rd Place! Congratulations on getting 1st, and I love the “3” necklaces you made. Our weekly writing sessions have been so helpful for me too. My book wouldn’t be where it is right now without them. And I like catching up with you every week too! 😊 Excited for the next chapter of writer’s night!

Looking forward to following you on this next project! 😊Loved what you said "it's not perfect, but I showed up" I think I'm going to adopt that 😆

Glad to see more writing updates. Congrats on trivia night🎉🎉

I love the takeaway of not waiting for perfection to get the work done! And to be gentle with yourself! 🤗

I discovered your channel through this video. It's a wonder we didn't run into each other at a bookstore. Happy Reading!

Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had a great time 😊

I've only been to New York twice but my favorite part was walking across the Brooklyn bridge. I just kept going back for more 🤣

Big congratulations on completing your visual novel and making one of your dreams come true! 🎉🎉🎉 I had so much fun experiencing it, and I really liked seeing the videos showing your process. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you over afternoon tea- such a perfect way to celebrate the story being published. I really like all the cherry blossom footage, too! 🌸

congrats! this looks so cool!

congrats on completing your visual novel!

Ah, congratulations! I was wondering if you completed it (within the time limit or outside it) and whether you were going to make it public. I'm glad you have done! It's so strange seeing translated Japanese books - I didn't realise how successful they/the authors must be. Japanese fiction definitely has it's own flavour. (they are great at making 'nothing' interesting lol)

Wow! Love it, Nicole! ❤

Yay! A double-upload day! 😊 It’s so cool to see your process, especially after playing your visual novel. (Can’t wait to experience it again on UA-cam!) I liked seeing your original artwork for Poppy and Marigold and the visual charts for different ways the visual novel could go. All of your artwork is fantastic, and I was also happy to help with the questions you had. Thanks for the shout-out! 😊 Haha, I’ll have to check out the “Girl Dinner” song. I do the same thing when it’s just me making dinner. Can’t wait for the final vlog!

Amazing!!! 💜👏💖

Such a great project!❤

i didn't realize how into it i was until i started getting my own suspicions and it was such a joy honestly, time zoomed by so much quicker than i expected while watching! while i can't play my own way through the game, this was incredibly entertaining and i often found myself relating to the character you play as 🫶 i'll never look at lemons the same again, i think

Thats awesome you did this!!! CONGRATS on doing it!

Is that a Uniqlo pink fluffy fleece I see? (I have the same colour!) I think the bottle is what gives it olive oil vibes lol (and also the colour - so I guess pretty much everything 😂) I'm sorry your pain flared up. It's so cool to feel like you could write to the ends of the earth and to lose that because of pain sucks ): I LOVE THE COLOURS and the way it's shaded! Will you make the VN public at some point? Also, I think you can track how much/whether I'm writing by how soon I watch and comment on writing videos 😆

This is so, so cool!!!!

☕

🫖🍵

You're doing great (: Wishing you the best as you continue to write!

loved this video :)

It’s so cool to see your process and how you planned everything out! I love it when great ideas form as we’re out moving and doing everyday activities. I love the visual cues and the background that you made in this video! And I had so much fun writing with you that month. Excited for more videos and writing sprints! ☕️😊
