It's time to make dreams come true- I'm writing a book!
MAKING A QUICK TRIP HOME ✨ trying to get in the head of a new POV
We've officially started the 'second' 'inception' plot and I'm low-key losing my mind! It's hard to write in a new perspective and right now the author's voice doesn't feel authentic to her…yet!

not sure if you ever emailed me or not, but looking forward to hearing from you!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 keep up the great work!
Thank you Ande! I just emailed you!!
You're making great progress! I was just about to suggest an external HD before I got to the end, so I'm glad to hear you're all set up with one now. They are a game-changer! Best of luck with the rest of your writing this month, Kaitlin!
Thank you!! That last clip was from the next day haha- and you're right! A total game changer! I feel less anxious about deleting off my laptop
Hi there! Just found you. I'm trying to get 40k this month. We'll see.
Yay! I'm so glad you're here! Let me know how it goes, I'll be rooting for you!
It's possible the author's voice won't feel quite right in the first draft. That's what editing is for! 😂 Fixing everything!
very true!
You're doing great! Writing is hard, and you're showing up and doing the thing. That's worth celebrating 🎉 keep it up 💜
I can only imagine how hard it would be to get into the head of a completely different character after spending so much time viewing your story from a different perspective! so cool though, you got this ✨
@@renwrites thank you!!
Okay, I thought Ande was live last night as well. I’m glad I’m not the only one, because I thought I was crazy for having that in my planner 😅
@@alissathewriteway haha I only learned later that night that she canceled it cuz she’s still not feeling good 😪
Kaitlin you are KILLING IT this month!!
@@nataliejaneshields thank you Natalie!!
I'm also flirting with 40K. Should hit it tonight with another 20 min of writing. 😄 That makes me what? 1/3 of the way there? 🙃
Yay! Fingers crossed for you!
Not the dislike! 😂 Lol surely it was accidental, what's not to like?
Omg so sweet, thank you! (I never thought about it being an accident…if so, a happy one at that)
Yay congrats on 40k! :) 🎉💖also your dog is so cute!!!
Thank you! She's actually my roomie's but she loves me more (don't tell them!)
I'm sorry Michael's let you down, I woulda come out of there with two new hobbies regardless of what I went in for haha
That is always the struggle for me too! I'm my own craft store at this point lol- the only way I can put on craft night at all is cuz I already had all of the supplies
@@kaitlinrochellewrites I'm currently trying to arrange a craft night so I can get people to use up all the supplies I have 😂 I'm glad I'm not alone hahah
@ omg not me literally wanting to start a Craft It Gone Series for the same reason!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites you totally should!!
Congrats on the progress! Happy writing 😊
Thank you Ian! I've peeped ya in the streams- congrats on your progress too!
Yay crafting girlies unite!
yessss! Hopefully I can get some footage from the party and y'all can see what we get up to ;)
I know this is random, but I love how simple and informative your intros are! They do a perfect job introducing you and your book 💙
Thank you!! This makes me feel so much better. I'm worried they're a bit repetitive but ya know…gotta introduce myself to anyone new!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites I think for this series it's fine! But maybe when you switch from the first draft to editing, or whatever you do next, then you change it to fit the tone! Either way, it's a lovely intro!!
your comfort youtuber?? stop it I am crying
Don't cry, or I'll cry
1:35 I love this fangirl moment bahaha
It's crazy…we're all just people but sometimes my faves feel like literal celebrities
Congrats! I'm close to 40K. 🤔 Maybe I'll do a reward for hitting that!
Congratssss!! The mini-milestones have been such a huge help!
I have spent today watching all of your videos chronologically, your vlogs are so cozy and I am so intrigued by your project!! 5k friday was so fun and the "I can fix him" discussion was a highlight for me lol. you opening these goal gifts your mom picked out is giving vlogmas advent calendar a month early and I love it so much haha
This is literally the sweetest thing ever!! I'm so glad to have chatted with ya in Ande's stream tonight! I can't wait to hear more about your project!
What an awesome summary! ❤
Thank you!!
obsessed with your sweatshirt diy ❤🖤
Thank you!!! When I have the creative energy again (soon hopefully) I plan to embroider another sweatshirt! Any ideas on what to do??
5k party! 🎉 So excited for you! You're doing great 💜 (I was keeping tabs on y'all, but I was trying not to be sick while doing too much.) Also, congrats on your dislike 😅 welcome to the club 💃
Omg I'm honored to be here, I'll be accepting my award with humility
CONGRATS! I'm honestly in shock that we all were able to do this lol 😂 So much fun having you in all the chats!
Genuinely could not have done it without the delulu energy!
What a cute notebook! And congrats on your progress!
Thank you!!
So glad you got to participate in our 5K Friday! You are killing it and that new notebook is such a fun reward! (My toxic trait is buying a new notebook, using it seriously for a week, and never touching it again. I need to do better lol) Sending you all the good vibes for the second half of November! We are gonna do the thing!!!!! :)
Thank you Cody!!! You are a pleasure to watch as always! Lowkey next year we should all do a rewards swap!
Love this! All of my earlier writing was handwritten and not legible, so I could never share that 😅 But such a great way to see your progress!!
My next video should be me reading my old handwritten stuff from elementary school!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites ohhh how exciting! Can’t wait to see it!
My nano was going well, and then I got sick 🤧 soooo, hoping to get back in the saddle soon (I am starting to feel better)!
Oh gosh! I know this feeling all too well…I made sure to have lots of OJ on hand this year. I hope you feel better soon! Let me know how your project goes!
THE SKILLLLLL!!! Beautiful writing, girl. Wow wow wow. Can’t wait to read your work someday!
When you posted yours I was immediately like 'I'm gonna do that' and then I did it and oh my gosh SO nerve-wracking!! But I can't wait to share with you! (Beta reader question mark question mark)
@ beta reader exclamation mark exclamation mark! I don’t have your email but mine is on my page if you want to get in touch!
@@andesears will be doing so promptly!!! Also you mentioning in the live tonight that you're not on Insta rn makes so much sense…I DMd you at the end of October and was like, 'ande just hates me actually, got it got it'
@ WHAT oh my gosh!!! I’m so glad I happened to mention that!!😂😂
Haha, my original goal was a 5K Sunday. At 11pm, just before bed, I wrote for 1 min and got 79 words and called it a day. Hope your challenge went better than mine 🤣
79 more words than you had before!! All that matters is that you get it out!
Oof. This is brave 😂 I’m old so all my great early works were written by hand. My best works were LHOTP ripoffs and LOTR slash fan fic, until late high school that is. Then I barely wrote until the pandemic.
@@76kilosofshade81 honestly fanfic made me a better writer!

@@saoirsewrites me too!! I just subscribed to your channel- I haven’t been watching anyone’s vlogs (on account of trying to draft!) but I’m excited to catch up on yours when this is done!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites aww thank youu! And I totally understand! It's such a busy month and there's so much content right now I can't keep up haha
🥲 I wish writing was my job and not just my hobby. 😄 My actual job is all right, I don't mind it at all, and it gives me time to write and have adventures and it'll be the reason I can afford to self-publish so it can't be all that bad. Over 3.5K words in two days is awesome!
Thank you! I love writing, but I also love my day job! My hope is that in the future I am just doing things that bring me joy 🥰 I'd love to know what you're working on, I don't know if we've ever talked about it!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites I probably haven't, I don't talk about it much. I'm on the third in a series and it's kinda like hockey romance meets adult themes (but not stupid like dark romance). She's coming along at a very good clip. I'm 43K words in and haven't named anyone yet. 👀
@ omg noooo I can’t handle that! Everything has to have a name right away or it stresses me out
@@kaitlinrochellewrites 😆 It's not what I wanted to do, but it's what happened anyway.
I've seen Dean Wesley smith speak at a few writers conferences. He stresses the fun of writing. He says, (paraphrasing) "I've got the best job in the world. I get to sit around all day and make shit up." I highly recommend seeing him if you get the chance.
Oh my gosh that is exactly the sentiment I want to embody! I'll have to look him up. Sounds like it was a memorable experience for you 🥰
@@kaitlinrochellewritessearch "Dead Wesley Smith 20books" for the lectures I saw.
If it makes you feel any better I've only worked on my book once this week! 😅 Sometimes certain days, weeks, or months are not the most productive! And that's okay! You got this! Can't wait to see the reward for your next milestone!
Thank you! I have to keep reminding myself that it's fun! And if it's not fun…then I need to change something so that I am having fun :) Good luck on your book!
I've tried the reward system so many times but never thought about having someone else do it for me so that it's a surprise! (Why didn't I think of that before? 😂😂)
Love the reward system you used! I also like to reward myself for goals with little indulges, but think I may try your way and have a family member pick some stuff out. Good luck with everything!
Thank you AJ! It's been a game changer! Now I just need to remember to open them when I'm struggling cuz that's what they're there for!
Your story sounds so interesting!! I’d love to read it 🤍
Thank you! I'm excited to share it- hopefully in a very near future!
Love hearing about your writing journey and breakthroughs!
Thank you!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites Thank you too
Yay! Thanks for joining the livestream! 4k in one day is BONKERS congrats! Cody and I are trying to write 5k this Friday... we shall see how that goes 😅😂
Omg when I heard you guys were doing that I thought…that sounds crazy, I could never…and then proceeded to accidentally write 4k. I would LOVE to join in the challenge on Friday though, we'll see!! Good luck to you both!
@@kaitlinrochellewrites YES! Please do!
I haven't done any type of reward system. Never have. Maybe when I've actually finished (with editing!) a book, not just got 1M words of drafts. 😄 Unless you count the pain au chocolat I'm going to have with supper tonight. That's like a little reward....
Yess! I definitely bought myself little candies and fave snacks to help encourage myself along- like Pavlov-dogging myself lol. I can only have my favorite treat (almond roca) when I am writing, which encourages me to write! The rewards are new this year, I tried last year when I completed my first ever manuscript, but couldn't justify making the purchase.
Do you tend to notice a difference in productivity on the day's you got to the gym? I have an office job and sometimes I swear when I go home and stare at another computer screen for hours I'm going to go crazy. But it's hard to get out and do anything when it's cold and dark. Anyways love the content 📚💚
Thank you Araya, I'm glad you're here!! Yes, the gym definitely helps me be more productive in my writing- if anything, forcing myself to go somewhere also pushes me to write because it's like; I just drove all this way and put all this energy into being here, I might as well stay until I feel like I've done enough.
Okayyy, you convinced me. I need to get out of my house more 😅😂
@@Arayawrites Yay! I'm glad! Do you have anything similar near you? The climbing gym is great because no one is judging you if you stop climbing for twenty minutes to write lol
@ I was going to say no, but then I googled it and I do in fact have one six minutes from my house 😅😂
@@Arayawrites 🤣
So glad you were able to turn a snow day into such a productive day! 4K words is FANTASTIC progress and you should be very proud of yourself! :)
@@CodyTheWriter thank you Cody!! Your sprints definitely helped 🥰🫶
Dang that’s a lot done per day
I know! Will I ever do it again? Who knows…my eyes have been seriously strained since
Where's your toque? Wasn't your head cold? 😆 4K words in one day is an awesome result (though generally unsustainable pace). 🙃 But what else you got to do if you're snowed in, right?
I know! I wanted to turn my scarf into a balaclava but could not remember how to do it haha
