Hearing you switch from “What will hopefully be my self publishing debut” to “What is going to be my self publishing debut” MELTS MY HEART! You’re doing it, girl!
EEEEEEEE your aesthetic and overall vibe is so relaxing and productive. Its so great to see so many self-publishing authors. Even better to see so many talented people going after their dreams. You are an inspiration Gurrrrl! ((BTW I got here first at "8 minutes ago", idk this might be my biggest UA-cam achievement yet))
wishing you luck in sticking with these goals this year! you can always adjust them as you go too, so even if it feels ambitious now, you'll get a better sense of what pace will work best for you moving forward
I've tried to write a novel twice but end up hating draft 1 too much to continue. For a third try, I'm going to try to write a novella instead. Aiming for 30-50k words. That will feel much less daunting to edit (even if draft 1 is dirt). Currently plotting and reading for inspiration! Unfortunately my idea has a bit of a psychological thriller element to that but I've always struggled to read such things so I haven't done it much. Last night it was a struggle to get to bed and I feel a bit in over my head writing what I've basically never read. But it's just for fun!
I clicked on this video so fast. I love hearing you talk about your writing process. I’m so proud of you! Hearing you talk about your writing is insanely motivating too!
This is so exciting! I sent out my first email to a potential cover artist for my debut novel today! And next month, I am sending out my second draft to a beta reader and developmental editor. So nervous but excited!
I tried planning my entire debut year and I felt insanely overwhelmed 😅 For now, I have a vague idea of when my books should be finished and when I should prep for publishing / uploading to KDP 😮💨 Buuuuuut, I wanna re-assess my tracker now, thanks to you lol 🫶🏾 All the best Brielle!
I love seeing your thought process on each step! It’s honestly so helpful to hear what other people are going through to get their book done. Also, I’m so excited for you!
This video made me feel so seen! Right now I'm getting published traditionally here in Spain, but I still feel like people believe the process is so simple and straight-forward and we can publish 1+ book a year lol. I admire you so much as I'm looking forward to becoming a hybrid author and self-publishing in the next couple of years too! Can't wait to read your book and will wait patiently hehe ❤ Happy holidays!! 🎄
That’s amazing!! And yes, I think people VASTLY underestimate the amount of time and steps that go into the writing process! I’m glad you resonated with this and best of luck pursuing a hybrid career! 💗
this was so inspiring brielle! after a busy uni semester i finally have some time to think about the new year🌸🤍 i will also be working toward publishing so i can’t wait to see how you progress too! u did amazing this year especially with your growth of your channel. be so proud 😆
Watching you map out your plans for 2025 and not only what your goals are, but how you plan to achieve them was so motivating. You are crushing it! Thanks for the inspo 🫶🏻 Can't wait to follow along in 2025 and to read Unraveling when it comes out one day! 🌟✍🏻
This video made me realize that even though I watch a fair share of videos, I hadn't yet subscribed. So I rectified that. The self-publishing journey can be intense but it is definitely rewarding!
I definitely need to get my butt in a chair and figure out my writing goals/plans for 2025, but it’s a bit daunting 👀 I have huge aspirations, but matching those with the reality of my time is tough! (And occasionally disheartening lol). Definitely inspired by this video to just DO IT!
Totally relate. I’m always slightly disheartened when I realize I can’t do as much in a year as I’d like to, but it’s good to have that perspective so we don’t have unfair expectations of ourselves throughout the year! Good luck w ur 2025 planning!
You’re doing amazing, Brielle! Your book will be out before you know it! I need to copy your notion page. Congrats on all that you’ve accomplished and wishing you the best on the rest of your journey!!!!! YOU GOT THIS!🤍
my 2024 goals notion page looked at me and sighed 🥲 Kidding aside, I love how you put your 2025 plan and goals! I failed mine halfway thru the year too but I feel like doing this again will refresh my motivation! 🍵
Getting to watch your writer’s journey is really the coolest thing! Your videos are sooo inspiring! 💖 congrats on over 100k words this year and 7k subscribers!
Holy smokes 7K🤩🤩🤩🤩 So excited for this self publishing journey! I hope there will be international shipping because I’m so excited to read unraveling!!😁
THANK YOU for sharing your thought process with all of this! I'm hoping to complete my 1st draft for my debut novel in 2025 and wasn't sure about it, then I found your channel which led me to authortube and inspired me so much I went from a dry spell for moths to writing 10k! Curious if your going to post your overall goals 2025 on your personal channel, I'm so curious lol?
That’s AMAZING!! Good luck with your first draft!! And yes I’ll have a full 2025 reset with my yearly goals on my other channel in the next few weeks 👀👀
bahaha matcha recipe coming soon, I do it the fastest/easiest way possible lol. sending you good vibes right back and glad you're enjoying the videos!!
Can you make a video on your writing background? Do you have a degree? How did you get started? Good resources for writers without a degree? Thank you!
I do not have a degree! I took a few screenwriting classes in college but most of my growth has come from just Practice, free resources on UA-cam, learning about save the cat. I’ll talk about this more in the future!
This is so exciting Brielle! I can’t wait to see your book on shelves! 🤍 are you going to be open to beta readers or are you going to find them yourself, because I know I’m not the only one who would be interested!
Hearing you switch from “What will hopefully be my self publishing debut” to “What is going to be my self publishing debut” MELTS MY HEART! You’re doing it, girl!
Eek I love this comment so much! Thank you!
AHHH! Love that you chose self-publishing. It's such an amazing venture. I just went fulltime as a self-published author and it is a DREAM!
congratulations!! That’s so amazing!

I so needed this
I wish I was this organised
Any chance you’ve shared your Notion template for this?
just shared on my community tab!
How do you track your editing?
How do you select your beta readers?
for this project my betas are either friends of mine who are also writers or other authortubers who have offered!
Can you make a video on your writing background? Do you have a degree? How did you get started? Good resources for writers without a degree? Thank you!
I do not have a degree! I took a few screenwriting classes in college but most of my growth has come from just Practice, free resources on UA-cam, learning about save the cat. I’ll talk about this more in the future!
@@briellewritesthank you!! 🥰
This is so exciting Brielle! I can’t wait to see your book on shelves! 🤍 are you going to be open to beta readers or are you going to find them yourself, because I know I’m not the only one who would be interested!
aw thanks Hannah!! for this project i already have readers lined up but i may do an open call for betas for future books!
@ Ahh so exciting!! I’ll definitely be on the look out then!!! 🫶
