I enjoy the energetic way you communicate! Also, while watching this, my mind drifted off at the end (it wasn't you, it's me! i'm tired tonight) and then I thought of something to write about for this year's NaNoWriMo! Thank you for the advice in this video. I'm going to use quite a bit of it, including the advice to have an outline / idea of what to write about.
Hey Kat, another good/funny vlog. All I have to say is: I AM SO SCARED!! AHHHH! I love this month, but at the same time it scares the crap out of me. Still need to prepare some more though. Have you finished preparing your story now? Last year I couldn't Finish nano because my dad passed away on the 18th but this year I am determined to go through the finishing tape with you and finish 50,000 words!!
I'M GETTING READY FOR NANORIMO '18 AND I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE AND I'VE NEVER WRITTEN A WHOLE NOVEL BEFORE AND KAT TOLD ME THIS WAS HER BEST PLAYLIST SO I'M BINGE WATCHING IT AHHHHHHGHG
This is a great video :) I am also a recluse that is socially awkward. I have very little friends because I moved out of my home town a few months ago. But I like actually being alone and I'm usually better at doing things alone and I don't like huge groups of people. and the eating part is a good thing to say because I get into a "mode" where I just write and write and then look at the clock and several hours have passed. Then I realize I need food or drink. I'm so nervous about writing too.
I'm doing Nano and as far as the plot goes, I'm just winging it. If I already know what's going to happen in my story, I can't bring myself to write it. But I have tried to think about the characters, their personalities, their development and how they interact. It makes it flow a lot better for me if the characters feel real.
Getting ready for NaNo 2017. I had to come watch these again. This is my first year. Wondering if I'm really prepared enough... Wait, no I'm not... :( Crap! Lol.
Hey, so I'm participating in NaNo this year, but with the Young Writer's Program, since I'm 13 and shrink at the mention of 20,000 words, so we get to choose our own word goals. I was thinking around 8000? I've never done this, but I do love to write. Do you think I should go higher? Lower? Stay the same? Thanks! -J
Oh my! I do tend to forget to eat when I am writing. Seriously, I can go 3 days without eating if I am at a crucial place in my writing. Okay, maybe not 3 days. Writing is dangerous though. Sleep? What is sleep?? Friends? I have no friends. I'm doing NaNoWarmUp this month just to get the hang of it. Planning? NEVER!! You can't make me! :P
I have to get the novel to the website first and that is what I'm asking how to do......Can I cut & paste it to Nano or upload it their site? is the question I need answered.
Hi. I am going into NaNoWriMo totally unprepared but hopeful. Insert nervous laugh and totally overconfident smile. I will add you as a NaNoWriMo buddy. That'll at least bring me to the site
I like that you pointed out that no, your NaNoWriMo story will NOT be good. But that doesn't mean it has to be so terrible that you have to start from scratch. That's just silly! If you can't do a single thing with it - then why do NaNoWriMo in the first place? So be sure you put thought into what you want your story to be!
Completed novel XD I aim for that. I think Planning even if one sentence dot points helped. My friend who doesnt write and who would never do nano was like- you can write a perfect first draft- Im like pfftt what planet are you living in, are you high, stoned? Rofl
Getting ready for NaNo 2014, so I'm watching these vlogs again. I should probably get started on outlining...
I'm watching this getting ready for NaNo 2016 and Kat you are just SO FUNNY thank you for timeless advice and laughter
2:21 "I imagine it's a little bit like child birth"LOL

"Why are my legs in these stirrups? No, that's the other one." This series is peak comedy - I watch it every time I do NaNoWriMo

GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN U
Katytastic AH I'm freaking out I didn't think you would ever see this! I'm currently binge-watching the playlist. I'm so excited/terrified!

I know this is an old video. Trying to get geared up for my first NaNoWriMo in 5 years. Your videos crack me up xD
Why do I feel Kat always drinks more caffeine before writing videos?
alyson hannigan does nanowrimo i didn't know that

I like how all of her tips result in death if you don't follow them. :P
Kat are you doing NaNoWriMo 2014?
You are brilliant, funny and informative. Thanks for this.

Your bookcases are amazing!!!!!
I'm really looking forward to this in november ^^
This is going to be random but can you say "I ain't afraid of no ghost"?
I felt the you have nof friends message. I felt it so hard.
Writing is actually what I've been using to procrastinate from doing my homework. Now I have 2 weeks to do 6 weeks worth of work. Yay.
Harry Potter is sitting next to Twilight....
Teeechnically Twilight is sitting next to The Host which is sitting next to Harry Potter. ;)
I won Nanowrimo in 2011 and I am very much considering doing it again in 2013, but I am starting Pre-IB and not sure, if it is going to be too much.

I had to pause and laugh a bit over "My soul is a black pit of despair"
Can I use your video on my blog about NaNo?
Love the way you said "queso" xD
I've got to think again about NaNoWriMo! O_O

This is really entertaining, just so you know
Awesome! Going to check it out now :)

Your awesome Katastic
How do I upload my novel from WordDoc to NanoWriMo website? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Go to your novel ( on the Nano website) and there is a word validater there somewhere.
I have to get the novel to the website first and that is what I'm asking how to do......Can I cut & paste it to Nano or upload it their site? is the question I need answered.
yes, you can cut and past it.
"you don't have any friends and no one will miss you anyways" ..yup that's it exactly...
Wow. The Croods on writing...you die! Great tips. Thank you for the assist. First timer.
Ahahahah XD i laughed so hurt, kat you 're awesome!

"Ain't nobody got time for that..." XD.....
