OH MY GOD??? i needed this 😭 ive been jumping between like 3 different projects + neglecting my 38k project, I need to FOCUS, very excited for this book you're starting ✨️
i feel you!! im writing a few chapters on one project, but then working on a whole new one as soon as i get another idea on my mind and completely abandoning it! its so frustrating 😭😭
Just wanted to say, you inspired me and helped me believe that I can write short fiction (having only written long form before) and I just learned I’ve been longlisted by Augur for my short story!!
WOW congratulations on the augur longlist!!!!! i saw on their twitter they had received something like 3000 subs on their recent round so getting longlisted is huge!! 🎉
@@martellc1008I’m just longlisted so nothing published yet! Was just happy to be on that long list, in two months I’ll hear if I made the shortlist/published list
I'm so stoked for this project AHHH everything I hear about it increases my hype also the new keycaps are so cute, i love the pastel jelly vibe and the lights???? she's beautiful
Kris: "... things to say about landlords ..." Me: "I caught what you did between the lines there. You have won my heart." Happy trails with this new project. :)
hahah, I don't know if you watch her but Katesbookdate everytime she writes a new book she purchases a new perfume that feels like the theme of the book or matches the characters and wears it when she is writing that book. Lve the new keyboard and excited for the new book.
Ahhh I loved this! Cant wait to see your journey w this book and was so interesting hearing your outlining process. Also those new keypads… stunning… I NEED a keyboard I cannot be writing only on my laptop anymore lol
You inspire to stop dreaming of writing, and start writing instead ❤ Can you talk more about short fiction and how to start and get through a whole novel, I struggle with both of these things! Any advice from viewers are welcomed, too.
I'd say, come up with an inspiring idea, understand who the characters are, what do they want? Write a basic plot at least about the start, middle, and end. Hopefully having some images or music or something that gets you in the mood of your book can help. I wish you luck. Also if you are stuck on one part like a fight scene, or a scene where someone gets heartbroken, try to write another part. Don't focus too much on the word amount or the editing. Things can be fixed after. Hope these tips are helpful :)
OMGGG was so tired from my day and it's 1:25am in manila and i just saw this and literally gave me an energy boost that i need to write something tonight T___T literally look forward to your vids I'M SO HAPPY 🥲🥹
Your new book sounds so cool! I hope the writing keeps going well. I totally agree that having a fun project is always a good idea, just something a little lower pressure where you can PLAY. I'm currently neck deep in revision and actually really loving it!
Great video! My current WIP, Gracewood Chronicles, gave me fits at 25k so I have gone back to the drawing board and am re-outlining from the beginning. Your novels sound so interesting and right up my alley. You will have a reader in me. Happy writing!
Ahh, this is great! I love anything sapphic, so I’m here for it! Your new project sounds amazing! Also, your new keycaps are so fun! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 🥰💜
This was great to watch 😊 your stories seem so intriguing, these are always fun ro watch. I'm working on a horror comedy about a man who tries to kill this guy but the guy comes back and he's cursed to be with him forever. Its going to be hilarious and kind of gross but im enjoying it a lot 😁 its the most fun i've had writing in a long time 😊
hello, kris I was wondering if during the drafting process you continue to read other work or do you find it influences your current wip. btw love your channel!!!
i mostly read when i’m not drafting or i purposely have to take a break from drafting because i do get influenced easily :) but i also try to set aside a book or two that is similar to the writing style of whatever i’m currently writing and i read a few pages from these set books at the start of every writing session to get back into the “voice” of my wip.
Okay, but actually a pro-bending sports anime would just be so good. Earlier this week, I finished a rewatch of the OG Last Air Bender series, and then afterwards I kind-of-might've-accidentally rewatched all of Korra in three days. (😎) And at the very least, I want a full proper pro-bending video game (yes, I know that it was a side game in that one Korra game from several years ago, but still...) Felt a little sad seeing the matcha keypads go because green is my favorite color, and that keyboard looked so perf, but I can get behind the idea of switching things up with each book. Haha This vlog was actually so much fun. Lots of laughs and lots of nodding my head because relatable. I'm looking forward to this new project. You have such an interesting take on the cyberpunk genre (that one time that you compared net-running to a magic system has stuck with me), and I'm sure that the end product will be fantastic.
omg yeah i love pro bending so much. i’m a big fan of fictional sports! i love creating lore and culture around how a sport can be invented in a secondary world 😭
Thank you for helping me realize that I'm trying to write two books at the same time ("vampire evil love interest" and "coming-of-age enemies to lovers historical romance mystery")! I shall proceed to disentangle them in my outline 😂
for me chapter length is such a struggle. i have written 12k chapters several times, and once a 16K chapter. of course i have to split them but it's a struggle.
Just want to say how reassuring it felt for you to call a 500 word session decent. Also a writer with a full time other job, and I know rationally any chance to get words out is a good session. But seeing people talk about their multi thousand word sprints bogs me down a lil 😅
Both you and Lynn uploaded 😍 a blessed saturday

Your project sounds so fun! I would read that. Hello, from New Hampshire. :)
Pro bending sports anime you say.?!? Pro-bending was one of my favorite parts of Korra it would be crazy if they did something like that
Very beautiful keyboard
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question but why kind of a keyboard you have? the lights are chef's kiss!!
keychron k2 with brown switches!! :)

I have the same key caps❤️❤️

Nice video!!
I never read ANY enemies to lovers! Maybe yours can be my first one hihi

of course! 500 is a good writing day for me tbh
new book = new keyboard caps is so real
Was that your Kuya? Only a Kuya or Ate would have the guts to tell me my style is questionable. 😅
Thank you for sharing the new project hype!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
yeah lol
