i’ve missed these vlogs so much 😭😭😭 they give me motivation to actually write lol
YAY! 💜
Same!
SAME
0:45 Bellamy doing downward dog 🥺
Lol he does it all the time it’s adorble
I’m gonna guess 145,000 words! Is that too much? Too little? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, haha. Excited for these vlogs!! 😊
LOL WE’LL SEE. THANK YOU ZENA 🤗❤️
How many words can you write in an hour?
It varies, depending on where you are in the writing process. I average about between 1k-2k an hour on normal writing days 👍
YAY NEW WRITING VLOG SERIES!! Lol at Bellamy trying to grab that bowl from you at the end 😂
❤️❤️😆
Omg yay! I love your writing vlogs, you always have such good advice for writers and as an aspiring one I find it so interesting to see your routines/methods. Plus you're hilarious!! Looking forward to the next one :)
Ok I’ve been a fan since 2013 and right now I’m in shock… I went to half priced books to finally read better together… TURNS OUT ITS A SIGNED COPY. My life is made!!!😮
Yay!!’ Thank you so much for sticking with me through the years ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm plotting rn, trying to do Preptober and actually finish a book in Nano this time. This vid is so fun, your writing vlogs always are... Definitely inspires me. Good luck! Cannot wait to read your next one. (Also just putting this out into the world: if you ever tour again, can you come to KY??? Nashville??? Lexington??? Lololol pls)
AH nice!! good luck pre-nanoing!!! hope it's going well!! // Thank you so much!!! // I HOPE SO!!!
I love your writing vlogs! It is always so cool to see the process and how other people write - also my guess is 130k words lol
Thank you!!! 🤗🤗🤗💜
No but growing up watching Christines videos these vlogs are the best. Its catching up with an old friend
🖤🤗
I’m reading People We Meet on Vacation right now and it actually reminded me of your writing haha 😄 Like the tone and the way the main character and love interest interact
LITERALLY THAT BOOK FREAKED ME OUT WHEN I STARTED READING IT BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS IN MY HEAD.
Congratulations on your first book. I'm come to the final chapter of my book. Once again, congratulations! I can say more... In Jesus name we pray! Amen.
you make the best writing vlogs! i never miss one. they are the only writing vlogs i actually enjoy watching
Thank you so much! 💜
A new writing yayyyy and new video!!! Can’t wait for your new book 📖❣️
Thank you! 🤗💜
Your writing vlogs are my favorite! Can't wait to read book 3! ✨️
Thank you!! 🤗
I've always enjoyed watching your writing vlogs but now that I'm attempting to write my own book, I have like a new appreciation and fondness!
Yay!! Hope the writing is going well 🤗
I haven’t kept up in a while but I’m so glad I added UA-cam back I’ve missed your vlogs of writing the most. You’re so talented and I just loved Again But Better I can’t wait to see where this one takes us! I’m so excited! 😊❤🎉
Thank you so much!! 🤗❤️
I've been working on books for like 3 years now and all together they're like 300,000 words (3 books) and there's still a LOT that needs done 😭 I've been there for all your vlogs and they've saved my LIFE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOU'RE BOOKS
@@polandbananasBOOKS THANK YOUUUU! 😆😆
These videos are sooo good! I love how you take us on the journey with you!!!
Thank you!!!! 🤓🤓🤓🖤🖤🖤
watching your writing videos reminds me to stop procrastinating my daily word goal :D
also i absolutely agree about the music thing. its a life saver
Yesss! 🤓🖤
Did anyone else see Bellamy do a yoga pose at 0:40 lol
Love the writing vlogs!
I was inspired to name my laptop because of you 😛 I've named mine Chrissy because lately it's been having trouble wake up
LOLOL
so excited for the new book! and i love these writing vlogs, they're very motivating for my own projects ☺ my guess is that this first draft is 100% breaking the 150k word mark but more specifically maybe 157k?
So happy to hear that, hope all your projects are going well!!! And Thank you!! 🤗🤗
hi ahtrkat
I loved this video!! inspiring me to get back into reading (something other than books for college) and yoga, yay!! thank you!!
YAYYYY!!
Rewatching book 3 vlogs since I just ordered it today!!!
Your writing vlogs are my fave
Yay, thank you! 🤗
Haha! I know how you feel about losing the words when your computer dies, but for me, it's when I watch TV when I write and I get distracted, and I'm like "well damn. Where did those words go?" 🤣 I probably shouldn't watch TV while writing, lol. Anyway, for the computer, I went to get a new Mac, and I wanted the pro, but the guy at Apple, convinced me to get a Air, because of the charger. The magnetic strip, is better for charging, and the Pro has old hardware. The Air is also good for writing. Plus, he saved me a lot of money, lol! I think Veronica Roth said to get over writers block was to force yourself to write, even if you don't want to. So, you're on the right track of forcing writing sprints! Lucky, I haven't had that much writers block lately.
I missed your vlogs!!! I love it!
Thank you!!! 🤗
this is coming at such a good time for me as i'm also trying to write a first draft and these always give me motivation
Yay! 🤓💜
me: *no where near 50k for nano and needing/wanting to write*
also me (at work): *watches this video instead of writing OR reading*
I guess 110, 000 words. Yay a weekly writing vlog. I have something to look forward to next Sunday!
🤗🤗🤗
I have to read one of Emily’s books. Everyone says I’d enjoy them. They sound so good!! ❤
UGH YES THEY'RE EXCELLENT =D
Hello
HI
Looking forward to the next episode! Also I'll borrow your idea of forced writing sprints for my work~
yay thank you!! LOL GOOD LUCK WITH WORK SPRINTS =D
Writing vlog!!! Watching this as I get ready for the day🙏🏼
Yay!! 🤗💜
I'm so excited to for all these vids to come out, your writing vlogs are my comfort binge watches, so more to the collection always makes my heart happy ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm guessing 135 000 words 😊 i love watching your writing videos!
thank you!!!! =D
My guess for final word count is DEFINITELY going to be around 130,000 words, but for your sake, I hope not!
Lol for me 130k is actually a very workable number for a first draft XD I ASPIRE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN 140k
Congratulations on the writing progress and good luck continuing the work.
Thank you!!
Omg this couldn't have been up at any better time!!
Yay!
I love your bookshelf with the lightbulbs. So cute!
Thank you! 🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Your writing vlogs are so inspiring!! 💛 I read Beach Read as well this summer and it also helped me with ideas for my own book. I'm so excited you decided to make this a series!
Oh and emails I can't send is EVERYTHING to me hahaha, so glad you've been enjoying it too! 🥰
Book 3 first draft estimate: 139,235 words
🤓

I was so excited when I saw this on my homepage 💖😆Nice to see u againn
Vicious by Sabrina Carpenter bangs so hard
YESSS!!!!!!!
I LOVED THAT i forgot how fun your writing vlogs are!! and you absolutely look like edward cullen in that coat
the second that peacoat came into view I said aloud "did Christine get an Edward Cullen coat?" and I am delighted to have been exactly right
😂😂🙌
Love the reference to The Art Of Seduction at the end screen!!! Classic
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
yay! so hyped for the rest of the writing vlogs!!
YAY!!
I’m going to join the game and guess 130,000 words
😊🙌
Smooth like Butterrrr
👍🤗
ahhh i love writing vlogs, im so excited for the book!!!
Yay thank you!!! 🤗🤗🤗
If you're looking for books similar to yours and you haven't read One Last Stop yet, that could be a good one
It’s on my TBR, I love had the audio book in my library for months now 😊
I second this! It's such a good book 🙌🏻
Writing a book is never an easy task
True story 🤘😊
I've been saving these vlogs for when I needed them and the time has now arrived!
16:20 the screen saying "better"
of course lol
Where can I find your writing playlist?
My book 1 and 2 playlists are on Spotify! I’ll release this new one when the book comes out 😊
@@polandbananasBOOKS Alright! Exciting :) Do you have links or your user for spotify?
@@InretoRose Yes! this is my profile lol open.spotify.com/user/128138013?si=9d365bfebd734b82 | book 1 playlist is called Again, But Better, and Book 2 playlist is Better Together (the book), I believe. =)
@@polandbananasBOOKS Thank you so much! I'm such a huge fan of your videos - you make me laugh so hard
Yeaaaaah thats relaxing
Knowing you, I would guess your first draft will end up being 175,000 words and you’ll spend months editing it down to 100,000 😂 Only time will tell
LOLOL we’ll see 😂😂
a whole book writing process being put into a 10 minute video is riskily making me want to write…..
Write 🎊🎊🎊
Omg yess! Sabrina Carpenter’s new album is so good!!
ALL THE AGREE 🤗
My first draft is just over 215,000 words 🙈💀 Don't do that lol my guess is 170,000 words
DAMNNN THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS!! Hope the editing process is going well
Best of luck with the book! We're rooting for you 😁
thank you!!! =)
Wrap your hamburgers in foil and bake for an hour. You can add in whatever spices and veggies you'd like. Or bake a potato next to it. The slow cooker/crockpot version cooks on high for 2 hours. I put two burgers in the bottom of either a 2- or 4-quart slow cooker/crockpot, put onion chunks and potato chunks on top. I'll also put pats of butter between the burgers and on top of the burgers, and on top of the potato wedges. Season each layer the way I like, and cook for 2 hours. I don't add any liquids to the slow cooker/crockpot, as the butter and grease from the meat is all that will be needed. I tend to eat the burgers like chopped steak, but you fix them however you like. Then, all you have to deal with is the pasta.
I just watched a video where it said not to boil your pasta. Just put it in a dish and cover with tap water and let sit for 2 hours. It was spaghetti, so thicker pasta may need more time. It would be faster if you brought the water to boil added the pasta, brought the water to a boil again, and then shut it off and let it soak until pasta is done.
I'll tell you this: I HATE REWRITING.
LOL i'm so sorry!! REWRITING IS MY FAVORITE
Wow inspiring kind of content i love it
Quick tip: on be real then cameras don't take the pics at the same time, so u can angle your phone after you take the first one. Ex. If you take the first photo as a selfie then you can quickly turn while the screen loads and it will take the pic of your back camera ab 2s later
I have since learned this! Lol but thank you! 🤗
Ahhh so happy for another of these vlogs!
❤️🤗
I am also writing a book, my first book, and I am wondering what I’m in for.
Nice!! 🤗 Hope the writing is going well!
About BeReal, there's a couple seconds in between each photo being taken so you can quickly change the angle and get a better photo :)
Lol I have since learned this. 🤗
I’m going 155k for first draft and 110k for final
👍👍👍
It does look like Edward Cullen 😊
🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎
Yes I’ve been waiting for this video! So excited :)
YAY!! thanks for being here
I freaking LOVE you! 😃
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
Can we have a siblings video this christmas please ??
Lol I’m gonna try and wrangle one together, but it’s a big feat now that they’re adults, to get everyone together in the same room at the same time for a few hours
I'm betting 118 000 words this time
😊
Sanderson lives first draft and hate revision ahhah
LOL maybe it was him I heard about XD
off topic but how excited is everybody for the taylor swift album ????
I AM SO DAMN EXCITED I CANT BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING TWO MUSIC VIDEOS *DANCES AROUND APARTMENT*

I’m in a screenwriting class and we are finally in the writing process. We have to write 15 pages a week and I have never had an extreme case of writer's block before.
That's awesome! i hope you have a great time in the class, and never have to deal with writers block lol =)
@@polandbananasBOOKS thank you so much!! I love your videos so much, especially this book writing one and the guess-the-book characters with Kat! Been a fan since I was in middle school which was a long time ago now.
