      i only wear socks outside of the house (unless im wearing flipflops). on rare occasions, i'll keep them on after taking off my shoes or if i get tired of my crusty floor. a dog and a 4 year old boy who runs everywhere doesnt equal a clean floor..

    Writing scenes out of order for me is one of the only ways I can write.
    It's so much easier to get all of the scenes in my head out on the page and string them together from there!

    I like her writing style, but I will say in her book “ It Ends With Us “ I felt the whole time me thinking, “Someone needs to tell her to turn off the italicizing tool every once and awhile.

    Like really, I know it kinda matches her style, but it’s kinda something I had to get used to, and I definitely did feel like I got used to it by the end of the book. Which is pretty nice.

    • @ananeu
      @ananeu  2 роки тому +6

      mn, different writers seem to have little ways to tell their own story. and sometimes it’s distracting to the readers. i actually found Shatter Me the same too. but I got kinda used to it at the end haha

    This video helped me very much. Down below is my attempt to write like hoover. Its a scene from my new book, please correct me if I have any mistakes.
    “LOOK WHERE YOU’RE GOING YOUNG LADY!!”
    I jolted up and quickly turned to my right, slowing down and realising I was about to crash into another car. My fingertips instinctively went up my forehead rubbing it . I stopped the car at a gas station nearby, and I washed my face with the water I had.
    Once again starting my car, I tried my best to forget the memories from the past 2 days. You’re gonna be fine Heather! Mumbling to myself I felt a bit of relief.
    2 days ago….
    “ARE YOU READY!! HEATHERRR!!”
    Again! She started.”yes I’m coming down haze! We still have plenty of time in our hands.” I yelled back, struggling to zip up my gown. After what felt like an eternity I zip it up and went downstairs to see my mother and sister waiting for me.
    “You look exquisite!” My sister Hazel complimented. “You look splendid!.” I reply while smiling. She smiled back and both of us got inside the car, making our way towards the ball.
    I would say this ball is the most important one for me, since you get to choose whom you can get married to. I hope Nolan accepts me as his wife, I have had a crush on Nolan Keller since highschool. Meeting him through my parents was the best thing that happened to me.
    I liked everything about him. His eyes, smile , the way he treats me. There is more stuff I adore in him, for now let’s keep it aside. “Are you excited to find your man?” Hazel questioned, I just looked at with rosy cheeks and smiled at her. “Yes I’m” I replied. After a long 20 min ride we reach the destination.
    I got out of the car with the help of the maids who were there. “Thanks” I smiled at him and bowed in respect and entered the hall, to see all the girls were talking and some were drinking.
    I went towards the bar, “Two shots of vodka,please.” I asked and made myself comfortable in the small chair provided. The bartender nodded and handed me shots of vodka. Chugging them within seconds I felt a burning sensation in my throat.

I think that would be a really good idea!! You have a nice day!❤️

    This was amazing to watch! ( I haven’t read her books either… ) I also really like your channel call me chia it’s really amazing! Also the names are so cool Kaido and amen! Love those names! So when I was in the live I mentioned I have a plot hole… so basically after Liam’s dead and Idk if I should kill the mom but that’s not the plot hole. So basically the last bits of the book basically Olivia has a lot of bad habits like smoking and stuff and it going to be about her realizing she shouldn’t do this stuff and she gets a job and it’s happy! But the dads going to go to jail but HOW does Olivia call the police on him… or i could try and get Liam’s babysitter t relise that the whole kidnapping was a bad idea and helps Olivia escape. idk I’m just kind of brainstorming a bunch of things that could happen so give me your opinion! Love uuu so much! ❤️❤️❤️
    Ps I reached 6k in my book almost 7k!!!!

    as a self-proclaimed 'amateur writer', I have too many writer quirks for people to fathom because i am just so weird and all...
    just kidding, I have two; first, I NEED to listen to rain sounds while writing or i won't focus, secondly, and this is the weird one, i can only write when I'm in a bad mood. Like for example, if I'm in a bad mood because i woke up too early, my writer mind just goes 'hi, I'm here and I'm here to stay' but when I'm in a good mood and want to write, my writer mind goes like 'u know wat bye bye luvs,'
    what about u ana, what are your writing quirks ?

    Hi Ana!
    So, I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing advice that you gave me about motivation to keep writing during your live-stream. It was really helpful and I have felt better leaving my book for someone else. Funny story, I actually have an idea based on something that is going on in my life. It's like about friendship but other people get in the way yet the 2 characters build a strong bond. I don't know where to start. I find it scary to start a book because my lat beginning was really cringe and I want it to be interesting yet not give away too much of the story.
    Now that I have gone off on a tangent (it's a habit of mine), I just want to ask u something. Can you put this story in the description because it sounds very interesting and I would love to read it. I love romance books and emotional reality that is fiction but could be someones real story.
    Gratitude always,
