im so proud of you, ana. i’ve never finished a book before but i’ve started a LOT of projects. finishing a novel is my dream. thank you for the inspiration
aw your so sweet! thank you so so much. your encouragement is MY inspiration. your truly so lovely xx
@@ananeu You're a huge inspiration and I think it would be really cool if you created a discord server for your viewers as a way to connect and share writing advice and stuff. We could all chat, play video games together, share story ideas, and I just think it would be super fun!
The feeling of writing "the end" is just so hard to explain. You're happy, you're sad, you're proud. There's so much far you've come and so kuch far you've got to go. Keep pushing girl, you got this! I myself completed my first draft a while ago and editing really sucks (BUT did I mention it feels so great?!).
And once you're ready to share your story, I'll be happy to Beta-read. All the best!!
I KNOW. this seriously is exactly what i was trying to explain!! ahh! thank you so much! i'd love to keep you in mind hehe xx
I’m 11 chapters from finishing a book I’ve been writing for 2 years. And this helped motivate me to finish so thank you!
I’m so proud Ana. Not many people can say they finished a book, but you can!
It’s ironic that you completed your 44k word project of ‘I met you in a graveyard’ because yesterday I completed my 100k word book ‘The moons and one world’. Like you, I’ll be moving on to draft #2 shortly.
Btw: ever since I watched your video for creating a book cover about a week ago, I started to create book covers on bookbrush and that’s been so much fun 🤩
aww thats so great to hear! i am so glad you were able to use book brush!
Oh my gosh how exciting, I'm so proud to think back to when you were first telling us about this to now finishing the first draft! Thanks for inspiring me to persevere with my writing even when i want to give up lol
hehe aww! thank you so much! i'm so glad i can be inspiring to you haha. i wish you the best in ur projects! keep me updated!! xx
Congrats! I’m so happy for you that you finished your first novel, and it was really cool that we got to see this novel’s journey from first concept to finished draft. ‘I first met you in a graveyard’ seems like such an amazing, intriguing story, and based off your reaction to the last few chapters, I have to say I really want to get my hands on a copy of your book! I think it would be really cool if you made some videos of the editing and rewriting process…as well as maybe some publishing videos, too? I’m super excited to follow your writing journey further, and hopefully see your books on shelves across the globe!
ee i know!! thank you so so much for ur beautiful words!! those videos are def something i have in mind!! i hope your work is going well too bestiee!
congrats on finishing your novel!!!😁
thank u bestie!! xx aaaaah
I could NEVER. I've been planning to write a story since I was 9!! - I'm 14 now. This is so inspiring to me, I hope you get farther in publishing your book(even tho this is like a year later and that was a draft)
congratulations!! i cant wait to read the published version!
eeeeeeee thank uu!!
Congratulations! Good work! I am 53 years old and I’ve had a couple novels within me my entire life. When I was in high school I took creative writing and loved it. I used to write poetry and short stories. I have not written in a couple decades. I have my idea in my head and I’ve been watching a lot of outlining videos and character arcs. Going on vacation next week and I at least want to get a good start on my outline. I am finally going to do it even at my age
Hi. Ana!! Looking at the title, I immediately knew this was going to be another amazing video. When you said that you finished your novel, I started smiling at my iPad and clapping for you. You should be so proud of yourself! You have out so much effort into your novels and it has really paid off. Funny story, my mom was walking by and heard me reading your metaphor and said, “hey Maddie what are you reading” I said, “the most poetic thing ever from my fav yt Ana Neu” I was also thinking the entire time, “Ana writes the kinds of genres and stories that I would like to read. When Ana publishes her first book I will be so happy and buy it. You write so beautifully and you deserve the best!”
Ilysm,
Maddie
aww this has to be the sweetest comment i've ever read. thank you!! i sometimes feel a little scared sharing my books and my ideas with others because i doubt my ideas. but seriously, this is so so encouraging. THANK YOU XX
@@ananeu no problem. You should never be scared to share your ideas because they are always something new different and interesting. There will always be people who support you and all of your subscribers like you for your personality and ideas…. And content. Lol.
Have a nice morning, (it’s 1/4 after 10 am)
Maddie
This video just got recommended to me and even though it's kinda old (2 months) I still want to share my experience with writing here in the comments! 😁💫
So, I've been writing a story about a war between two differents groups of wizards, and I love every second of it. Writing dialogue and playing mind games with the reader is so fun, and I love my characters so much, specially one that is so sweet and cute but can chose to be a cold-blooded murderer in a few steps.
I'm only writing the second chapter, and I feel bad for not progressing faster. Even then I make myself write everyday, because I know that if I miss a single day I will start to slack off.
Writing is fun and I'm glad there are people on UA-cam who can relate to this (:
don’t feel pressured to write! writing is a creative and delicate art, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself xx please take frequent breaks away from your projects and relax. i know you’ll be a beautiful writer someday, just be patient and believe in yourself! xx p.s your stories sound AMAZING! pleaseeeee keep me updated!! xx
@@ananeu omg you're so kind 🥲 I think I can do summaries of the arcs whenever you ask (I don't wanna be annyoing), I would love to! 🔆
Did you finish the book? Which chapter you're at? Give some tips please.
Hey Ana I'm so proud of you! I literally could never! This book seems really interesting and I wanted to know if you have ever planned to publish your books, because if so I would love to buy one!
aww thank youu! this seriously means so much x
Hey ana i recently found your channel and i kinda addicted to your writing vlogs and it actually helps me since i write in apps i need to update daily whenever i feel demotivated i saww your writing vlogs which helps me... Love you 💝💝 and congratulations on finishing your first novel its one of the best feeling

I remember when I finished my first book, “The Troublemakers”, I was so excited. I wanted to give it to my teacher as soon as I can; and once I did, she loved it. There were only around 15 chapters, since it *was* my first book. I have came across your channel not too long ago and I am in love.. I’m about to use your tips and tricks for plotting books and now I’m going to buy a notebook JUST for my stories. Can’t wait to write mine tomorrow.
Thank you so much for this, I just found your Channel and I’m obsessed, thank you for so much for sharing your journey. I’m a young author as well so seeing you doing all this is super inspiring

I’m working on a book called The Stolen Sun, it is a fantasy war book revolving around multiple perspectives, so you get the full view of most parties, I practically just started but I had been planning it out for a long time, and when I finished the first chapter I was overjoyed!
Hi I am SO proud of you right now!!! I'm currently writing my 3rd book and know the feeling of FINALY finishing a book. I would totally hug you if I could!!!

Just discovered your channel and I LOVE it! I finished a first draft of my novel earlier this summer and I'm in the process of editing it and starting a new project! I can't wait to watch more of your videos!!!
ANA!!! 😭😭 this was so nerve-wrecking and emotional! i understand that feeling so well, though i have yet to finish my book. once again, i am really motivated to continue writing and i'm really looking forward to that feeling of writing the end of a book, whether it's a good or a sad ending. i think both is super emotional, for the writer especially!
i hope i can read one of your books one day
I finished my draft this week too. My emotions were very similar. Congrats!! We've both joined the group of writers to complete our project. I took basically two years off, so I resonate with the just keep going and eventually it will get written. 💕

good job
your legit the sweetest soul ahh i can't!! thank you!!!
@@ananeu ty so much! You made my day :D
eeek! i'm so happy for you ana
aaaahhh thank youuu! i really wanna hear your ideas! what is ur book about?! and i totally think its so cool. this book i'm not sure if i want to publish either. such an interesting thought. just a story for me, really. hehe xx
@@ananeu the story in a nutshell: set in a utopian world where people are kind of divided into 4 nations, it wasn't long until one nation was built (?) by four of the mayors from each nations to basically make peace around the world. my four main characters.. yes- *four,* learned that there's a particular someone who caused the destruction either from the past and now - continuing to the present, after chasing a bandit from a local florist. lots of drama and angst, with hints of romance, which is my cup of tea lmao-
ty for coming to my ted talk🏃♀💨also ignore the lack of _metaphorical_ words there, english is not my first language and i won't write my story in english either so.. :']

AAAAA congrats girl!!!! it’s amazing!✨✨✨
AHH THANK UUU! love uuuuuuuuu ahh
love your work
I’m starting to write a book called “Mona” which is my real name, it’s about a girl aka me, who’s trying to find peace with her brain and herself, struggling with the thoughts of suicide.
As she falls asleep she wakes up in a dream she can’t wake up from until she makes peace with herself and embraces the pain she’s going through. As she embarks on her journey she finds a cat named kitty cat which is her stuffy who claims to be her guide through her journey. There’s more about my book I’m writing but this is just what it’s about I just started making the characters and stuff so yea watching this really helped me.
hey ana, i'm so proud of you! also completely unrelated: how did you make your google docs look so clean?
aww tyy! and ahh! so many people ask for my google docs and i don't really know what i did to them ahhh! i think its just the contrast theme on my windows 11 that influences the page. so sorry.
I swear I have (actually) 8 different stories going right now, I just counted 😂😂
I thought I would share the titles and the main idea of them!
First: Amy the Fourth: a girl who wants to ride horses, and does, but along the way discovers some challenges.
Second: The Bow of Eternal Spells: a girl who didn’t get gifted with being a archer, which means she isn’t allowed to hold a bow. She’s determined to hold one, though.
Third: The Beach House with Pink Shells: a family who lives near the ocean discovers something off about their rare pink shells
Fourth: Bluebird: following the life of a bluebird
Fifth: Woodland Pines: a girl living in the wild finds a hedgehog friend and challenges occur
Sixth: The Garden Thorn: no plot yet
Seventh: Kennedy of Alpine Chalet: two girls living in a orphanage, Kennedy finds something…. Off about Kathleen
Eighth: Faster Than Usual: a girl living in a normal world meets her mentor for homeschool since her mom got a new job, later on he shows her a new world, one where time ticks faster and clouds are racing to the moon
I’ll probably have so many more after a month or two! 😂🎉
Wow that's amazing and I hope you finish one of your stories one day so that I can read it. :)
I need some tips on how to continue and idea how to build and knock out small details cause I get side tracked or lose hope when I get loser 9 pages in
I have finished my first short story for 2 months ago💖 finish a story is my dream and it came true- OMG!!
Now, when I'm starting my new second short story, you finish your novel, lol XD
Anyways, congratulation for you, for me and for us🐧❤
Congratulations im so proud of you
Yayyy! I'm gonna finish my second novel tomorrow, but my writing is all over the place since i don't write chapters in order so i have written the end long time ago lmao
YOU CAN DO IT! gogo bestie!! xx
ahhh congratulations!!!!
I have a question, do you publish your books on any site or anything? If so I’d love to read it, even if I have to pay for it. You seem like such a nice person and it’s so refreshing to see a young writer do so well. It’s really inspiring for me who just started highschool and is a writer. Thank you for your video, and a late congratulations on finishing your book!
ur too beautifully sweet! thank u so much for your kindness - ima cryyy😭I really hope ur writing is going well! and I’m here to tell u to never give up!!🤍wherever you are, your doing truly so well. keep it up writerly bestie!!☺️✨
@@ananeu Aw thank you!! 🥰
CONGRATS BESTIE!!!!!🫶🫶🫶
Ik at least 10,000 of you guys were watching this instead of writing
alright but i really need to know if you're gonna publish this book, because i'm so gonna read it.
11:08 i love the premise :( we need more mlm cute romance book i really hope we get to read it
awwww you've made my dayy thank uu ;')
The paimon space bar
Congratulations!
I get this emotional turmoil, I've written a story where literally everyone dies at the end and the anguish (but also lowkey kinda sadist joy in the fact that I'd be torturing my readers) was real
aw :( this is so sad. but I feel like the emotional attachment to your books are so so real. im so glad we can understand each other. send ur characters my love. X
Ive just started writing a book called 'My Sweet Prince' the title will possibly be changed but its about a fox's 🦊 journey home and the challenges he faces throughout his journey (still not a solid description of the plot but working on it) i am worried it will fail as a story, you are an inspiration do u have any tips/tricks 😊 📖
Omg that’s so exciting! I’m so so happy for you!
Aaaaaaa so cool! Also the little drawing on your space button is so cute! And your mug with the cats aaaa so cute! But like I’ve been binge watching ur vids and they give of so many great vibes and like positive ones aswell and ur make girrrlllllll! Finishing it must have been so emotional yet happy and exciting! I’m so proud of you you deserve this so much! You don’t know how happy I am for u!!!!!!!!! Are you thinking of publishing it?! If so I would buy it!
Also if you didn’t see my last comment my cat sadly died a month ago ( I go into the full story in my comment!) and I got an art reward for art! (I also went into more detail in the comment!) I hope you see this! My art that I drew was inspired about what’s going on in the world right now it was this child and she named the price war child so it’s like this child was in a war and one of her eyes were bleeding also it’s black and white bc it’s charcoal! And I also drew a cat in a suit!
So I hope you read this and I hope your mental health and physical is doing good. And I hope your law exams went amazingly! Have an awesome day!
Love uuu❤️💗💓💖
Remember don’t stop until your proud and you can do anything with the body God blessed you with!!!!!
awww your THE SWEETEST. thank you so so much. i am so glad these videos are helping you! it seriously is the whole point i create them! i love uuuu x
@@ananeu np! Love uuuu
i thought i was the only one who found it hard to write the end! haha
Hey! Just wondering what app you use to write! also, Congrats! You did amazing
i use google docs!🤍
@@ananeu Got it! Thanks! :D
Im doing the sticky note thing you suggested and also
A-amazing
N-nice
A-awesome
hehe awww sweet xx
I have a question, what font do you use when you write your books?
I’m trying to finish my book but I have no ideas but I have no ideas on how to finish it what should I do?
its really hard to say! i think ending your book is really hard sometimes, but end it how you like. usually try to have a satisfying resolution whilst also hinting at the future and possibilities of the character's lives. hope this helps a little bestiee!
i’m currently working on a romance book between a history teacher and a coffee shop owner (who both have daughters) they first see eachother in a graveyard (kinda weird ik)
❤️❤️❤️
Why don’t you do rainbow loom anymore😢
What's the most words you've ever writen for one chapter?
Curious how many pages?
I have never tried writing sprints. Are they worth trying?
def try them out!! they help a lot with productivity hehe
@@ananeu Awesome. I will give it a go.
Also pomodoro sprints are good for productivity!
So if you want to do a pomodoro sprint you put a timer for 25 minutes and after that you take a 5 minute break. Eventually you will get to take a longer break (10-15 minutes but I kinda don't remember) and then yeah, that how pomodoro sprints work!
Congratssss Anaaa!
Kazuha!!
OMG U KNOW MY KAZUU??! hehe love him xx
Working on a story with my friend can you give some tips
