So my prediction for what happens is “Christine loses her mind” let’s see if I’m right XD
lmao
Lena Zeller 😂
Lena Zeller ok I’ll go for that!
13:18 SNEAK PEEK of THE BOOK!!
There will be ovens and they will be preheated.
john’s woo in the background made me smile
Who else needs to write but is instead here watching writing vlogs? 🙋 just me?
above nd beyond i relate
Meeee
Here!
"Yes, it's a dumpster fire, but a phoenix will emerge from that fire" - SUCH AN INSPIRATION
21:55: he did that for us all XD
lol
This gave me the inspiration I needed to do my homework ....
But also the chaotic energy to spontaneously write a book INSTEAD of doing my homework
I love this comment 😆
I’m procrastinating my homework to write my book 😆
Literally me too 😂
I have a a math exam the day after tomorrow and I felt the urge to study because if this.
But the urge to write is...let's just say, *greater*
"i'm gonna need you not to look at me" 😭😭😭
I BELIEVE IN UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
13:19 oh my god we have to preheat the oven to 415. SPOILERS
I wonder what's cooking...Disaster family dinner in the making????
I believe you made it to 26,000 words, staying with the "13" theme.
Admit it, you were trying to channel your inner swiftie with this number choice.
Update: not finished with the video but I clearly underestimated you. My bad. Extremely proud of you Xtine!!
Update 2: just finished the video. You crushed it Christine, how did you even do that?
GET IT, CHRISTINE! (Also, I am living for the subtitled commentary) xD
Also, I *just* finished drafting my current wip, book two of my ya fantasy duology.
It's so weird seeing you in a new apartment.
My writing is going fine, I’ve been contacting agents since the beginning of January, and I’ve been declined four times, but I knew that was going to happen. I’ve been working occasionally on my next book that I just love. Everything about the next book is so so good, it’s something that I just keep going back to. Just hoping I will get some good news from an agent soon! Also, congrats on finishing the first draft!!!! P.S. Your Stupid Love dance is way better than my version of it lol 💖
Really love how around the beginning of the video you talked about how you genuinely love editing and adding stuff to your book, but how sometimes you really struggle to get the bones down and the analogy about feeling like there’s no ground underneath you and stuff. I. Felt. That. So. Hard.
I have an extremely hard time getting anything down just because I don’t even know where to start and I feel like my brain is just blank and then I freak out and tell myself I’ll never be a writer because I don’t even have any ideas~~~ Hearing you talk about it, though, really made me feel good because you struggle just the same and it gives me hope that one day I’ll get there too. Congrats on finishing the first draft and I hope the second goes well. Don’t overwork yourself!! 😅
lmao christine's out here writing billions of words in a month meanwhile it's taken me four years to get 70000 words into my draft and i'm not even close to the halfway point
You scan do it!! Everyone has a different pace! ^^
I think she’s going to win but also lose her mind🙃
I know it's a little late but might be useful for editing/future projects: when dealing with confusing timelines or book structure put all important dates on a board/wall then put each scene you envision and write on to seperate it's so you can move and 'delete' them whenever things change.
P.S. love your victory dance, it's well deserved.
I legit started clapping when you got to the 3 act. This video was amazing. Also the comments you added were hilarious.
hi Christina. i'm only fifteen but I've loved writing every since I was 12. I started about two months ago writing a book i always thought about. Lately I've been having a writing slump but this video inspired me to write again. thank you so much. I will one day publish my book. Thank you and I love your confidence and personality. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
21:56 lol Jon's "whooo"
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE🙌🏻
It's not a writing vlog with a goal unless the writer changes the rules to the goal the VERY next day. Love it 😂
The DATES -- I feel this so much. If I don't have dates, every scene is at sometime during dusk on a Saturday. And every day is Saturday.
I missed these kinds of videos of you ... I hope more videos like this come more in your channel
I’m loving the amount of Taylor Swift merch worn in this video
I'm also writing a dual POV book at the moment! It's part of an independent study in college but now classes are cancelled and CHRISTINE I am going to have to talk to my professor over SKYPE, ONE ON ONE. I'M SO EMBARRASSED!!! P.S. Super proud of you! You inspire me when I feel really helpless about writing!!
The Book 2 struggles are real! I feel you!
I've only recently gotten back on the writing train. I fell off awhile back when I started working two day jobs to try to make ends meet a little easier. All it did was drain me physically and mentally. I had no time for ANYTHING. I ended up suffering a major burnout and so I quit that second job. Now I'm doing much better, but my writing has still been hit-or-miss. Up to now, I've only been writing once a week on Friday nights! I keep forgetting that I have my evenings and weekends back, so I can get back to writing the way I used to.
I'm so proud of you for hitting your goal out of the park! That's awesome! It sounds like your draft is close to around the same number of words as our draft of Book #1, which my co-author is currently editing. Dat's a big book! 😲 Writing that huge chunk of words in a month's time is a major accomplishment. You go girl! I'm super happy for you! 💖
Oh wow, Don't let everyone's expectations drag you down. It makes me mad they didn't think you could make it. Like HOW COULD THEY! You are Christine Riccio! When you put your mind and yourself wholely into something, you set the world on fire. You finally had a chance to do that with your book so of course, you made your goal! You are who you make yourself to be. Not anyone's expectations. You just proved what you can accomplish!! You proved it when you got a book published in the first place. The voices will always be there. You just have to be louder!!! LOUDER! Don't let someone else tell you what you can't do. Don't let someone else tell you who you can't be. Don't even listen to me because at the end of the day, it's your voice that should matter the most. Believe in yourself, Christine. You got this.
Prediction:
I think Christine was so close to making the goal and the thought of almost making it ultimately made her lose her mind in the long run.
Update: Immediately after my prediction, I remembered you're an overwritter and would absolutely not be finished in just 30,000 words lmao.
RIP wall of crap - you had a good life
Christine will get her goal, I think but like just out of the time frame
I guessed 26,000 words, so sorry to have underestimated you. Right now I’m finally excavating an idea that’s been buried in my brain for the past six or so years. And it’s in very early stages, but if feels so good to get it out. It’s been months since I’ve done any sort of serious writing, so I’m trying to not get discouraged when it’s harder than before. These videos really help to keep me going, so thank you so much for making them. They’re my inspiration
"this book feels like an everlasting gobstopper" is my favorite line from this whole vid lol
I have never felt more seen as a writer than when I watch these videos! 😂
This was epic. Really loved editing Christine’s commentary.
oh boy is that date thing relatable af. i'm writing a Queen fanfic rn as a fun side project to my actual proper WIP, and I NEED THE DATES or i will go insane. maybe it has more to do w historical accuracy but omg
whenever I need to write and don't feel inspired, i watch your videos while I'm writing and its so much better
I love your new house and we're happy for you Christine!!! 💗💗💗💗
so impressed and proud xtine! can't wait to see what this book is about
Congrats! Again but Better was one of my top books of 2019. Looking forward to more!

GO CHRISTINE!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! I am already making room on my bookshelf next to Again, But Better!!! 😃 You are an amazing author and will blow us away with another amazing book!!!
I have to work remotely (don't we all) for the foreseeable future, and I have a feeling I'll be binge-watching all your writing vlogs over and over again while I work.
This was an awesome adventure of a video. Congrats on accomplishing it!
I love videos like this! So proud of you for your word count, omg ❤️
Wow, can’t believe the amount of determination and effort you had, I’m so proud you finished!
Yaayyy!! I'm so happy for you Christine, I knew you could do it! I cannot wait to read your new book, and thank you so much for writing ABB. I have never related to a character more than I related to Shane and she really made me feel understood. I'm so glad you're writing another book and I hope you are too!
aw this made my day. I’d love to see more videos like this, it makes me want to go write! thanks Christine, good luck with the editing :)
Great job Christine!!!!!!! I knew you could do it! I also just wanted to say I absolutely loved Again But Better and cannot wait until your new book is published!!
Congrats Christine!!!!!!!! Can't wait to read it one day :P
I love watching these videos please make more writing vlogs like this because I get even more motivated to do my own work/writing
Good Job!!!!!!! Keep making these type of videos, they are awesome. It makes us feel like we're not alone.
I'm so looking forward to your chain of gold review. I've nearly finished the book and can't wait to find out your reaction to already one of my favourite books.
I went to find my phone charger so I could rewatch one of your old videos, then I come back (having forgotten to find my charger) to see you've uploaded a NEW video. I am happy with this (and now have finally gotten my charger).
I’m about to start working on my second daft and this was the perfect video to get me motivated!
CONGRATS! I started writing the first chapter of the tenth draft of my book tonight, and was so dead and I'm so glad I found this video. ❤️
Write write write your book Christine I can’t wait to read it💜💜💜
Recently began my debut novel and your writing videos do wonders for motivation. Slay that second draft!
You far exceeded my expectations Christine. So proud, and so motivated now! (I need to do something like this with my own book) Can't wait to see more of your writing progress. They're my favorite videos of yours to watch.
Hi Christine! I really loved this video and I was cheering you on the whole time. I'm glad you finally got to act 3 and finished this first draft! I love Gaga's new song and will have to learn the dance to it!! Thank you for constantly being a writing inspiration!
I have to confess it's become a habit to watch one of your writing videos before my writing hour of the day, and I gotta say I've been progressing on my novel way more than before haha love you xtine
I’ve been watching you so long I remember your “pizza pasta” recipe 😂 that was so good by the way!
I bought Again But Better and it’s on my TBR! Can’t wait to hear more about your second book!
I hope to write a book someday. You inspire me 💛
Great Video Christine
I’m not a writer at all but i absolutely love watching your writing vlogs and learning more about the writing process
I’m so proud of you! I’ve been following your channel since 2013 and I can’t believe you’re writing another book! I can’t wait to read it! I read Again, but Better and I really liked it! You honestly inspire me to achieve my own writing goals. Thank you. 🥰
I just finished your 1st book and i have to say I loved it!! Made me laugh, and made me cry. I am looking forward to to your next one!
Christine! Super excited for the book!
I’ve been really busy for the last couple weeks with school work (especially literature analysis) so this video really resonated with me on a spiritual level, anyway good luck with the next drafts :)
I KNEW YOU WOULD DO IT!!!! Great job!!!
I just started writing for the first time this year! I work full time so it’s hard to find time...I’ve been waking up an hour early everyday to write. I finally have a bones of a novel planned so I want to start writing soon. I was actually writing and then I saw you posted this video so I had to stop to come watch it. Your writing videos inspire me so much! Thank you for sharing them with us. 💜
I loved this so much!
This was the motivation I needed! Also feel free to make more writing vlogs because..relatable as heck. plsntnx ☺️
This is so awesome. I can't wait to read this book! Keep chugging along, Christine! I just hit 55, 000 words on my new book and I'm not even a quarter way through the story yet **screams into the void**
i LIVE for this whole video
Missed you Christine! It was nice to see you in this different format, honestly inspired me to film myself when struggling so I can feel better 🤣😩😩
I'm on my second draft of the book project I'm working on, and I'm feeling a lot better about it these past couple days, though I know it's going to be a lot of work. I love your writing videos though! They help me stay motivated!
Honestly this is such inspiration. Seeing you craft again but better helped me craft mine. Made me want to write and fix so many of the problems in my first draft. Now with your book 2 finishing on the day I finished my first draft of a different story. I just want to say thank you for everything you’ve done and it’s such an amazing accomplishment and inspiration
I also have a major writing project due on May 1! It has been driving me insane because I've been working on it for the past year and I feel like I'm never going to finish. It's my thesis for my undergrad degree so once I turn it in, then I'm done with undergrad! Excited and scared all at the same time, but you and Kat always get me through with your writing vlogs, they always make me feel better and more excited about my future as a writer! Thank you for that.
Some of my favorite videos of yours are the ABB book writing chats so I am totally here for this content. I’m excited to see how your writing and editing styles have evolved after going through the process once already.
The queen is back😍😍😍😍 I have written a short story for competition, so things are good. So proud of your for finishing and I cannot wait to read this book💙💙💙💙💙
You really inspire me to pick up writing. haven't done that for like 8 years but I might be getting there. you're the best ♥
YES!!! I am so excited for the book Christine! I read Again, But Better and I loved it! I am so proud of your progress, it's way more than I could ever do in 29 days 😂
God this pumped me up to write my book! Good luck with draft two!
i know nothing about writing BUT i bet that you did it and YOU DID!!!!!! i love these videos so much
You did so amazing!!! I’ve been ‘wanting’ to write a book for so long but my motivation/self-esteem keeps disappearing when I need it, so thank you so much for this real and inspiring video of your progress! Can’t wait to see the final version 😁😊
