This is EXACTLY how I felt on day 1 lol. Cheers to being a rebel! Also love the idea of having a girly and tough MC, can't wait to learn more about the story!
As you were talking about the Story Genius book I was like “Crap! I need to pause drafting and read that” and then you said not to let perfection get in the way of good. And I felt really called out for what I just said to myself LOL. I’m glad you’re starting a new story - it’s always a win when you keep writing something when you’re stuck.
haha I definitely have enjoyed story genius but you certainly don't *need* any writing craft book to keep writing and getting better or to be "good enough"! if you're interested tho, Abbie Emmons makes youtube videos with very similar advice (for free!), although I do think it all is clicking more for me reading this book. agreed, it's always a win to keep writing :) good luck with your project!!
I just found your channel, and I can’t get help but notice how much you remind me of my main character, especially when your hair is curly! And I’m in the brainstorming/plotting stages too!
awww thank you!! that’s so sweet (I hope you like your MC)! reminds me of the ~main character energy~ joke going around haha 😄 💕 love the brainstorming phase!! hope your story is going well!
Ride the ride! Its hard to write so if you get excited and inspired to start something new, chase that wave! I’m so excited for you, keep it going lovely 🥰

I really struggle with perfectionism. It's easy to say "don't get it right, get it written," but settling into that head space is so hard, and I have to fight to get there every time I sit down to write. Thanks for the great video, and good luck on your new project!
truly, it is SO much easier said than done - it's a perpetual struggle, but worth the fight. I'm right there with you!! good luck on your project too!! 💕
that's amazinggggg, your project sounds so good! I'm so interested in reading Story Genius. I can totally relate to your struggle with trying to be perfect, it's always an annoying part of being a creative I guess hahahahah I'm doing good in Camp, even tho I'm quite behind.but I'm happy because I just hit 40k words in my project! yay! keep up with the good work, love your videos!
ooh, I would LOVE to know what you think of story genius! perfection is truly a blight on artists haha CONGRATS ON 40K!!! 🎉 that's amazing, nano goal or not that's a serious milestone! and thank you! thanks for sticking around 💕
I love that image of the girl in a red dress walking down the path towards an intimidating temple. I also love enemies to friends! I can’t want to read it! And yes women absolutely can be both girly and bad ass! I’ll have to check out story genius. It seems like a great resource.
thank you!! 💕 I know! the image was such a cool powerful one, I'm really excited to write that scene eventually. and I'm hoping this MC turns out a cool blend of those things :) absolutely would recommend story genius, I've been enjoying it a lot!
ooft battle against perfection is too real. sometimes a pivot to a new project is necessary, especially if what you're (i'm) working on feels like it's coming with too much baggage. i have a necromancy book i had to shelve because i kept hitting these real bummer disappointments with it and it was just starting to bum me out thinking about it. which is never what you want to feel about your project. why is vlogging so hard BTW? what kind of magic is it that lets people be good at it and which eldritch god do i need to sacrifice to for it
absolutely!! it's so hard once you've got all those negative feelings associated with a project. it becomes this like vicious cycle of not writing! and I was totally there with my last project. here's to hoping this breather is exactly what I need 🍻 vlogging is so unexpectedly difficult? but hey, as far as I can tell you're killing the vlogs!! you even turned on your camera each day, so I think you're doing it right 😂 let me know when you schedule a master class!!
a fresh project to inject some new energy into your creative process sounds like a great idea. as much as pushing through the hard bits is a necessary evil sometimes that just ends up miring you in negative feelings and none of us want that.

nano rebels unite!! 🍻 and thank you! we'll see how well I can pull it all off 😂 hope your project goes well this week! 💕
"don't let perfect get in the way of good" OOF I needed that 😅
right?!?! how easy is it to forget 😂 good luck on your project, you've got it!!
