- New favorite writing experiment?? I would 1000% attempt this again, especially if I have nowhere to go next time. Either I way underestimated myself or perfectly gamed the system. YOU TELL ME.
The goal is simple: writing more words than you did the day before. How many days in a row do you think you could beat your previous day's word count??
Thank you to my patrons for voting on this video!!! It technically came in 2nd (just barely!), so be on the look out for what experiment took 1st. 👀

Brain wasn’t braining. Gotta love that! 😂
First sprints are always the hardest. With my luck, I'd get overexcited and get like 6k on the first day and then I'd get LESS words each day 😂 My next writing experiment is to do a week of 12hr writing days in June because I really need to rewrite my debut novel in time to release a 10yr anniversary edition in August ❤
this is exactly how i feel!! it’s so much easier to get the words on paper when ik where i’m goinggg
I just wanted to say that you inspire me to write. Like, literally. I put your videos on to put me in a writing mood, and it always works.
Same! Kate and Sarra Cannon never fail to motivate me with their videos! Happy writing!
I've just seen your Cat Tarot cards. I wanted to let you know that I've been playing around with my vintage Motherpeace Tarot deck this morning. Sometimes my inner perfectionist critic makes me want to give up writing forever. In desperation, I took out my cards and asked them how I needed to change my attitude to writing. Guess which card came up … yes, the Fool, of course.
For me, the cards act as a door to my inner wisdom, or a mirror, or a magnifying glass … or a kick in the pants to start solving the real obstacles instead of running away. Deep down, I knew all along that I had to let go of the grim desire to write “good” or, even worse, “perfect”. I think being creative means trusting the process, enjoying it, being open to what happens …
Now I'm going to continue watching your great video. Grazie mille, mille, Kate! ✨
I like how every time you start a new project, there's a different process. I like that you take what has made sense and try new things. I've also found that, the more books I write, the more I outline first. Wouldn't call myself a planner, but I'm learning how to tell better stories and stories better.
Watching this while Embroidering a tote bag. Your videos always inspire me to write, and if I can't write, then to create something
Hi, Kate! This seems like such a fun challenge, I'm definitely gonna try it one of these days. Also, I love your little 🌩 earrings!
I like how I saw the dark chocolate espresso beans and was immediately reminded of all nighters in university at exam season like just transported back.
28:10 I love how u just naturally spoke cat to Vin😹that is a true cat mom ❤
13:38 What were you watching here? I feel like I recognize the voices but I can't put my finger on it. Love this video btw! This challenge is so fun
Congratulations! I would definitely try that. I might start on June 1st!
The aging car sickness is real! 😵💫 I get the impression that wearing glasses, having migraines and being a gal help increase the odds. So...fun!
I'm loving your flexibility about challenges and writing strategies. It's fun watching your videos over the years and using that inspiration to get my butt in the seat. Keeping it fun seems to be the actual best writing advice imo.
I would love to try this experiment. I haven't written in so long. I miss it.
You can do it!!
As always, your video made me smile! I’m inspired beyond words, not only to write but to fully be ME no matter what. Sending so much love
I'm so here for all the new content you're putting out. They always inspire me to write! ❤
Loved this! ❤❤❤
I definitely want to try this now. 😊
You're a better person than me. I would've purposely done about 100 words on day one and then gone up by like 50 per day all on purpose 😂
Definitely going to have to try this one out....
That sounds fun but very challenging. I will have to try this one. Love your videos!
Sounds like so much fun! And definitely something that I want to try. Been in a writing slump and I think this would be perfect to get me back into it! 🎉❤
I like this challenge! like your 'stair step' writing challenge, but on a day scale. I feel like this video came at a perfect time- I haven't written in a bit or been able to attend one of your streams in like a week or more bc of work (I'm vicious scribbles over on Twitch), but I'm hopeful that tomorrow I'll be able to get some work in. And hopefully this will be a perfect way for me to challenge myself!
all I can hear is Mr. Crabs- 😂 3:24
This was such a fun video! One of my new faves writing vlogs from you. I'm getting back into writing and I may have to try this game out myself 😊
By the way, could I ask where your lightning earrings that you were wearing during the stats portion at the end are from? They're soooooo cute.
I got way too excited seeing you watch Game Changer lol. The Survivor episodes are some of my favorites. I’m going to suggest doing the beat the previous day’s word count challenge with my writing group.
Woo! Love seeing some Game Changer! This was such a fun experiment to watch. Do you think you'll be trying the 24 hour novel challenge?
Your videos are always inspiring. But I watch them in the evening, so instead of starting to write I go to bed. Not good for the word count.😂But I will definitely try this experiment for myself.
I said about 4 to 6 days depending on mood
Hi Kate, I'm a blind girl, and it's impossible for me to access some website, like Twitch, for example. Could you do Livestreams even here on UA-cam, please? They really inspired me. Help me, please!
What writing program do you use to write your novels?
My guess is 8 days and then something will happen that will mean no or less writing time. OR forty days because you have been streaming a lot lately and maybe this experiment is why?
I swear I hadn't checked before I guessed! I try not to count words anymore, but I might try this when I'm back to drafting instead of editing
Keep strong. Don't forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
- (AMPLIFIED version)
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
If you have any questions let me know
