    I can hardly wait to experience again this level of excitement when I'll hopefully publish my next books. I completely relate to the joy a book and its writing process can bring to its writer. It's in our nature.

    Asking for blurbs actually sounds like a nightmare, from another person who hates asking others to do things for them 😅. So kind of authors to help one another out like that though!!!

    This was so relatable. I have not published a book, but I like writing stories and am creative and I feel like spiraling is such a normal common part of the writing process! Writing is a pretend therapy session of the mind I feel ❤. It's so fun and so reckless and ultimately amazing because your creative crop gets to exist in the world! Sending good vibes your way and I'm excited to read your novel once it's published ❤!

    Thanks for another great, chaotic, and absolutely motivating writing vlog! I’m working on forcing myself to fully outline a story since I seem to always lose steam and forget where I’m headed when I try to be a pantser. I got super in the groove of it last night and ended up writing 4,200 words into my outline! These videos are always great for me to have in the background, I love them!

    • @polandbananasBOOKS

    Just a suggestion, possibly add “writing vlog” to the title or thumbnail of these videos. I was hesitant to click because I thought it was a rom-com specific video and that wouldn’t really apply to me. Definitely glad I clicked but yeah 😅 the Mount Everest task of video titles is rough for sure. Feel free to disregard the suggestion if ya disagree. Nice vid regardless!

    watched this while trying to write while taking a break from reading.
    I am writing a chapter that I actually outlined because a while back (late march) i wished i was already at this part of the story but didn't already want to sit down and write it so i scribbled an outline into my notebook. I've really been trying to get back into reading and hit a word count every day but a lot of days i don't sit down until like 9 pm and then have to try and write all of it before midnight so it feels like i didn't stay up that late.
