Chapter 11 is when I stopped reading April as the author and starting thinking that this is a book everyone in our society should read. I am observing so much about human nature and empathy and how to live a better life that it feels like cheating to have all of these answers (and questions) handed to me in such a captivating book.
Ah! Hello, fellow dedicated nerdfighter! (And thank you!!!) The show was great, and it's one of the reasons why I'm taking my time with this book. There;s so much to slow down and think about.
i passed someone in a coffee shop window who was reading your book and it took me a full 5 minutes to stop smiling from ear to ear. So so happy for you, and I can’t wait to read it 👏
"You can just end it! Abruptly!" NO HANK NO IT ENDED TOO SOON Seriously, it was amazing. Cannot wait for the sequel. This is honestly my new favourite book (taking the place of "The Hobbit"...so...yeah). Its THAT good!
I have another comment! I finished AART the other day and it was outstanding. I’ve convinced three of my friends to buy it even though they know many big plot points. I actually was telling my best friend the entire story (up to the last hundred or so pages) and actually cried and said “I love Carl! I need to read it nowwww”
I really like how you talked about experts. I am a medical librarian and while the doctors nurses and pharmacists value the work I did, administrators don't always get it.
Thank you Hank - loved the book. Read it cover to cover the day I got it and recommended it a lot already. Looking forward to the next one very much. Good job.
Hank, your book will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first book that I pre-ordered. At the beginning, I was having a little bit of a hard time getting to the story but it definitely paid off. I was so involved until the last page. Keep the awesome work 💗
I love getting these behind-the-scenes looks at how authors do their thing. Thank you for sharing that with us! Try listening to scores for films/TV in the same genre you're writing! I absolutely can't listen to anything with words or anything too fast-tempo, but scores are literally designed to give you the feel of epic or sad or suspenseful or sweet things happening, so it puts me in the right mindset. Sometimes I build soundtracks for my projects from other film/TV scores, and a few times this has influenced or even fully inspired scenes. BUT OMG SHOWER TIME IS ABSOLUTELY A MAGICAL TIME! I cannot count how many ideas I came up with and problems I solved while in the shower. It's uncanny how conducive showers are to imagination. You just put perfectly into words why I want to be traditionally published. Delegate to experts. Yep, hits the nail on the head.
All my friends (who I haven't already convinced to buy this book) are getting it for Christmas. Great job Hank! April feels real and flawed and so importantly relatable on many levels.
Hi Hank! So glad that you wrote anART! Even though I gotta wait for my book to arrive from US to Indonesia (yes, it's so far away and gonna be arrive later than I wished), but watching those non-spoilers videos and reading the comments from the people that have read the books reaaaally makes me can't wait for it. Anyway, I'm happy for you Hank and for this world for having anART in history, DFTBA!
HANK YOUR BOOK IS SO GOOD I HATE YOU! I stayed up till 5:30 am reading the night before a quiz because I couldn’t stop and I’m done now and I need the sequel now. Seriously I now have to buy every book you write from now on. Good work buddy
Hank, You did it! You did a remarkable thing (and it was great). I cant wait for the sequel. I also hope that the aforementioned Canadian bookstore blacklists things properly next time.
You are so inspiring to me in a very odd way, in that once I reached my 30s, I sometimes felt like maybe I was done doing the things I would do in my life. Like maybe it was too late to be a writer, or too late to get a new career. Which of course is ridiculous. So seeing you do this reminds me that I'm not done.
Congrats on the bestsellers list, Hank! I really appreciate you sharing this. I've been thinking about writing a book for a while for somewhat different reasons - There's a story that I really want to read, and I can't find it anywhere, so I feel as if they only chance I'll get to read it is if I write it myself. Hearing some honestly about the process and the struggle really helps me set expectations as I'm considering if I'm going to set out on a project like this myself.
I have been working on writing a book for a bit now (i have had it thought out for over a year) and i needed this motivation to just sit down and write, thank you.
Thank you Hank. For the vast majority of people writing is hard. Your video describes this without crushing dreams. You have just added awesome into the world :)
On the subject of your book, I finished reading it a couple of nights ago and I am having withdrawals. It is easily the most enjoyable fiction I've read in well over a year. So many nerdy references I can't pick which one to sat "you did that thing, you dork" but as a huge Douglas Adams fan I loved the hitchhiker's guide reference. And I'm a huge Queen fan so that was also a neat surprise 😊👌
Hank, I really enjoyed AART, I view you a bit diffrently now and I think (or I hope) I even understand you better now. I still wonder, how hard was it to write from perspective of the oposite sex. Like, April was so relatable, she even gets her period one day! I think you did an awesome job so thank you!
thanks for sharing! i'm starting to write a book and i think what you said about it just taking time makes a ton of sense. just have to keep writing in order to get something written.
I'm never going to write a novel, but I write other mediums regularly and I found 1:03 FASCINATING. I listen to music of all kinds while writing, mostly lyrical music, and it helps me focus on my writing instead of getting distracted and ambling over to social media. When listening to audiobooks while sewing, I also play music in the background of that too. It's wild how different auditory processing works person to person!
I met Angie Thomas today and while being at the gala that was held in her honor, I learned that the president of my medical school class has met you and John! And has worked vidcon for like 8-9 years. What a small world. He’s the first person I’ve talked to about this community who didn’t know about it through me.
I find music much too distracting. Not just for writing, for almost anything. When I work out, I listen to K-pop - since I don't speak Korean, the lyrics aren't distracting. With classical, there was still the urge to air play various instruments or conduct, which doesn't happen with Black Pink or Momoland.
“I’m not salty” 😂😂😂😂 I was wondering what was going on, preordered the book in aug and still haven’t gotten it. The more and more I hear about it, i can’t wait to read it!
The book was so good!!! My jaw literally dropped when I got to the last page cause I couldn't believe that it ended like that. Still, I can't wait for the sequel!
Instead of listening to music while you write, try mynoise.net, which gives you natural ambient sounds you can adjust to suit. I'm writing something set in the jungle, so jungle noises really help me.
Oh gosh, yeah, your book did arrive a week-ish early for me because of Chapters. If it helps, I was incredibly happy and TECHNICALLY the website did say it was only available for pre-order even when I had gotten it. Also, I've pre-ordered other things from them before and this is super rare!
Have you listened to Stars by Nina Simone? There's no studio version, but the live recording from the Montreux Festival is really great. The way that you talk about fame often reminds me of that song.
I've had those moments of "despair" that you mentioned while writing (I'm about 2/3 to 3/4 done with my novel I'm writing [currently over 86000 words]). Sometimes when writing I feel I'm not talented enough at it to do certain scenes justice. Other times I feel like human language lacks the ability to properly explain certain things. like: there are only so many words that mean euphoria, and how do you properly describe one type of euphoria from another. This is the grand puzzle of writing. Finding a way to tell the story you want to tell.
I always see authors saying they have a list of songs they used to listen to write the XY book, and I always thought it so weird cause I can't concentrate to write anything with songs playing around me. Good to know you're a bit like me! ;)
I'm trying to write a children's book which is literally 1/100 of what you wrote and it feels so daunting and hard. I hope someday I will be able to answer some of these questions and not be in the middle of I don't know what I'm doing land.
I got stuck in traffic this morning and thought, "Hey, this is a good time to crack open Hank's new book on Audible." Yeah, I didn't get any work done this morning. I'll have to finish the second half of it tonight.
I'm currently querying agents for a book of which I'm very proud, and excited to share with the world (and likewise terrified). The process is time-consuming and it's hard to not feel disheartened, but I agree with all of your points about self-publishing. I am not up for the marketing end, either. I will do whatever marketing the eventual publisher suggests, but don't have the time to research what that would be, or the heart to have it all fall on me. Thank you for this video, I really needed it right now. I've currently received one pass from my most recent batch of seven queries this weekend, and I feel close to a breakthrough. Any fellow nerd fighters know any agents that are looking for dark literary fiction? :)
I listen to music while writing poetry but that’s it. And only deeper softer music that makes me brings out emotions. When writing longer/novel-like works I can’t ever listen to music.
I like that your tangent on self-publication seemed to indicate that you wanted to explain why you did't *also* publish the book all by yourself. It's okay Hank, you have enough jobs and are awesome at them.
I’ve written several novels and with only one of them did I write it nonstop from beginning to end. About 2500 words a day, for 2 months. It was fantastic. But the craziest thing about it was at the end of two months I was still happily pounding away, and then I came to an abrupt halt because I realized I’d just written the ending. I was utterly baffled. There it was. It was...over. I remember just sitting there stunned for like two minutes lol. Unfortunately all of my other projects have been much more back and forth with nearly everything about them. I’m curious though: do you treat writing like a shift at a job? If so, has that helped your creativity or do you struggle with it?
I honestly just bought the book because i saw a cute girl who works at B&N talking about it with a co-worker and asked for a recommendation. i really enjoyed reading it and am now in the B&N book club. :p
Are you aware that a run of the book got their dust jackets switched between signed and unsigned copies? Unsigned books got a dust jacket that proclaimed it to be signed. I bought a “signed copy” but there is no signature and the book store said that this was a problem with not just me

Then when people figured out that the endings were different, he would say that there were eleven endings, then everyone will freak out trying to find the 11th non-existent ending.
I'm sorry for getting my copy a few days early from the offending major Canadian bookseller T_T it is a very good book! I keep shoving it in my families faces and telling them to read it.
+Sexy scientist You know, there were a couple of months when I was hearing the makers of Welcome To Night Vale say all the time that the paperback of their book would soon come out and I was like "I am looking at it right now! I bought it weeks ago!"
it's interesting that you don't listen to stuff when you write. I listen to music, UA-cam, anything really. In fact I am listening to you right now while writing XD
I think a misconception about self publishing is that you can do everything yourself. If you're gonna self publish you need beta readers and critique partners and you need a cover artist and an editor. You don't necessarily get to through those to the side because you're self publishing. You can, but your book and your sales are going to suffer for it.
"That's the end of the book. I can tell because of how it ran out of pages." - Hank, 2018
I'm in the throes of working on a book. This gave me hope. There will be an end! It will run out of pages!

Oh my god, all those people who do listen to music while writing... They must be, like, so concentrated! 😱
I want to understand not to chase fame. Turns out it is hard to learn that for some reason
“I’m not salty. I’m fine.”
I’m still a middle schooler and I do it for fun
Does this mean sequel????
I think a misconception about self publishing is that you can do everything yourself. If you're gonna self publish you need beta readers and critique partners and you need a cover artist and an editor. You don't necessarily get to through those to the side because you're self publishing. You can, but your book and your sales are going to suffer for it.
Is “Hank Germs” actually an Easter egg, or am I crazy?
I love watching this channel but every video is about your book now and it's kinda... Boring? But I still love you and all that you do ❤💛💚💙💜
how do people write without music?!
