Christine: oh it’s Tuesday Christine: I’m supposed to have a video today... Christine: Christine: Christine: *sigh* time for book writing episode 31! XD I really do always love your book writing episodes though; the more you post them, the better =}
Honestly, your writing videos are something that I will continue to look back on as I move forward with my own writing. Especially the ones when you went through a stage of uncertainty and doubt because I feel like that's where I am. I'm 100% pre-production, so it's not like i know what I'm talking about tho LOL But as far as writing I like to listen to a certain album on repeat when I write. If I listen to new music I get too excited and can't concentrate tbh...I'm going to Bookcon for the first time ever and I'm so excited to meet you!!! I can't wait to see all the books and make all the friends :')
I really loved your avengers video btw! And I'm so proud of you for meeting your deadline and getting this video up today! that's so amazing and i'm so proud of you
Watching her writing videos is making me more aware of how much work all the authors I read go through and it’s such an eye opening thing because usually I just open the book and get into it that I don’t stop to think that someone actually might have stayed up till 4 am and rewrote my fav scenes over and over again.. so excited for her bookkkk
I'm so freaking excited to read your book, I need it now!!! Lol I'm actually revising my manuscript right now before I send it out to more agents, and I totally get what you mean about enjoying fixing your book. It's so rewarding when you edit something and and it just FEELS right! Best of luck with the rest of your edits and publishing journey!
So proud of you Christine! I've been watching your writing videos since the very first one back in 2016, and I'm glad I came with you on this journey! :))))
I remember when you first started I felt like this day would never come because I was just so eager to read it and unaware of how fun coming with you on your writing journey would be. You're getting so close and I'm beyond excited! I'm so so proud and I can't wait to read it!!!❤️
Just wanted to let you know I was having probably the worst day ever, and watching your videos made me feel better, as they always do, thanks for being you and making the content you do!
I love your writing videos! They really inspire me to continue or start my own stuff. I checked out Sober Up and You Owe Me and I love them! You were right about the violins. Ps. I love your robe! I'm also a Ravenclaw!!!
You did it! Great job, Christine! We're so proud of you and we can't wait to read Again, But Better. I will forever be grateful for just how much of an incredible inspiration you are, especially having been watching these writing videos since ep1. As a writer myself, watching you go through the ups and downs of this long process has given me hope for my own success in the future. Love you girl! Killin it
I am so proud of you. I cannot wait to someday write a book although i have zero plans to right now while in college. These vlogs are really motivating as we can see what actually goes into writing a book.
Your book writing process has made me want to start writing again. Love seeing this series and the passion you have for your book. Can’t wait to read it!
It's my birthday today!!! And, it hasn't been a good day at all, but your book writing videos make me feel GREAT! Thank you so much, you have helped me get through so many rough periods of my life.
I just love hearing you talk about your book! These are probably my favorite videos of yours. I can tell how passionate you are about it, plus this series has been super insightful into the process. ☺️ Thank you for sharing your journey!
Congratulations Christine. That’s great that you were able to meet your deadline. Good luck with the rest of your writing. I know how impossible it can be to write the first sentence in a way that sounds good and I am the queen of comparing myself to The books I like and therefore thinking my attempts are terrible.
Christine I'm wondering whether you're a plotter or pantser? And I can totally relate to you about meeting deadlines & being challenged. I can't wait to finally have Again, But Better in my hands! You worked hard for it & deserved everything. 💖🎆🎉
I remember you said in a video that you wanted to be an author and i was like “ girl do it I would read the crap outta your book!” And it’s happening and I’m so excited!
omg im wearing my ravenclaw sweater while watching this video lol but yay!! congrats on meeting your deadline!! Also, AJR is sososo good! Sober Up and Netflix Trip are my faves. Your writing videos always make my day better
When you said that you like making the book better I thought: she wrote it again, but better! I'm sure you've gotten that joke way too much but... also I'm wearing my Ravenclaw cardigan!
This video is very relatable to me! I know how you feel about the first line thing. In my revisions I was stressing out about that first line, not because of the readers, but the pressure for a literary agent to love it. I had an opening, that I changed, and changed and changed, but it turned out to be what I think a great opener. I also didn't want to make it a cliche either, because agents don't like that. I also read the openings of other books as well (not going to say here, I don't want to give anything away) and it still didn't help, to make a long story short I made what I think is the best opener that I could have made. I know how you feel about the revisions and not being sure about them, do I like the revisions I made- well okay, I don't love them, but it was mainly to get words down and I cut down a lot of scenes and I mean a lot! I saved them in a word document for other projects which is what people told me to do (I probably mentioned this before) and it worked! I know it's about quality and not quantity but I feel I made the necessary revisions to please a literary agent, and maybe a publisher, well see. Anyway, I love these videos, congratulations on the deadline Christine, you have come a long way since then- oh and one more thing to add to this essay of a comment (sorry it's long) I also know how you feel about thinking about it even after it's in (in your case to a publisher), I was thinking about my book even when it's out on submission to agents.The other day I was thinking about a scene that could be cut, or something, but it's too late now it's on submission. I did make a tiny revision while it was out on submission and got rid of a line of information dump, and I think it was a good decision. Anyway Good luck with your book it's going to be great and I can't wait to meet you at BookCon, I will be going to the panel on Saturday and I can't wait to see you guys again! You rock Christine!
Woah, when you said Sober Up my heart stopped for a moment haha. It's definitely one of my writing songs too, I listened to it so many times while writing last night.
I cannot wait until I can read your book, but in the meantime I’m going to take on the impossible task of trying to beat my high score on my Bop It whilst hearing the taunting phrase “Again, but better” 😅
i love reading the comments on these videos!! thinking about all the prospective writers you inspire makes me so excited - who knows who could be writing the next Harry Potter or Game of Thrones or Fangirl or some new, beautiful book?!
this is one of my favorite series you have on your channel. i want to write a book one day so just hearing your process is really inspiring. i also can’t wait to read your book because we have seen you come so far. keep going!! also sober up by AJR is really good. i got really happy when you said that was one of your motivating songs ❤️
*when you’ve been here since episode 1*
Charlotte Maliborski it's crazy how much time passed... I clearly remember clicking to play the 1st ep as if it's yesterday
Yes same I'm so proud of her
THAT 4AM MESSAGE THAT SAID... I sent it in! HOORAY!!
YAYYYY YOU DID IT! YOU TURNED IN BOOK! also you are a ROCK STAR for filming and editing this video in just a couple hours like HOW #sorcery
LOL YAY THANKS KITTEN *COLLAPSES*
You wrote the first sentence again, but better. 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
You own the words “again but better“ now. Everytime i hear these words (even when its just a random “better“) my head screams CHRISTINE
Christine: oh it’s Tuesday
Christine: I’m supposed to have a video today...
Christine:
Christine:
Christine: *sigh* time for book writing episode 31!
XD I really do always love your book writing episodes though; the more you post them, the better =}
So did you have to write some scenes...Again, but better? I love this series and I can’t wait for the book!!
ElliePhant 224 haha that's what I was thinking! the fact that she keeps going through the draft over and over again is very fitting with the title
The rambling reflective overthinking Christine is my favorite and also I relate
Honestly, your writing videos are something that I will continue to look back on as I move forward with my own writing. Especially the ones when you went through a stage of uncertainty and doubt because I feel like that's where I am. I'm 100% pre-production, so it's not like i know what I'm talking about tho LOL But as far as writing I like to listen to a certain album on repeat when I write. If I listen to new music I get too excited and can't concentrate tbh...I'm going to Bookcon for the first time ever and I'm so excited to meet you!!! I can't wait to see all the books and make all the friends :')
ah yay!! excited to meet you at bookcon!!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WRITING!!!
That means the world to me, thank you *cries*
Loving the robe XD
lol thank you XD
WHERE IS IT FROM!!!!
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK
So excited for this book!!! :D Congratulations on making your deadline, Christine!!
I really loved your avengers video btw! And I'm so proud of you for meeting your deadline and getting this video up today! that's so amazing and i'm so proud of you
Thank you!! 🖤🖤🖤
Does your agent/editor watch your videos?
I second this question.
I love the song Sober Up! Especially the violin part and the end
Watching her writing videos is making me more aware of how much work all the authors I read go through and it’s such an eye opening thing because usually I just open the book and get into it that I don’t stop to think that someone actually might have stayed up till 4 am and rewrote my fav scenes over and over again.. so excited for her bookkkk
I'm so freaking excited to read your book, I need it now!!! Lol
I'm actually revising my manuscript right now before I send it out to more agents, and I totally get what you mean about enjoying fixing your book. It's so rewarding when you edit something and and it just FEELS right!
Best of luck with the rest of your edits and publishing journey!
Leighton Jae Williams good luck and congrats!! I'm sure you'll do great!💕✨🎆🎉
So happy for you!! Honestly my first thought this morning was I wonder if Christine met her deadline
Yes! First sentences are SO IMPORTANT, they’re one of the things that transcendent from your book!
I can't believe it's been two years since you started writing your book 0_0
The desk chair..... MVP of Again But Better
So proud of you Christine! I've been watching your writing videos since the very first one back in 2016, and I'm glad I came with you on this journey! :))))
ahhh i love dear hank & john too!!! i was just actually listening to them before i watched this video lmao
I can't explain how much I love your writing playlist, almost every new song you share becomes one of my favorites
You are the reason Tuesday is my favourite day of the week💙
It's 2am right now AND I'M SO READY FOR THIS
So proud of you!! Can't wait to read it!!!
Oh my god I am so proud and happy for you!! You are such an inspiration for me to continue writing my own novel, you go Christine!!
Anybody else forget it was Tuesday? I had an exam today maybe that's why. Best surprise ever.
YAAAAAAYYYYY CONGRATULATIONS!! We all are so proud and can’t wait to read it.
I remember when you first started I felt like this day would never come because I was just so eager to read it and unaware of how fun coming with you on your writing journey would be. You're getting so close and I'm beyond excited! I'm so so proud and I can't wait to read it!!!❤️
Ive never loved Tuesdays so much!!😂

Sober Up is such a good song I love it

Kudos to you for getting this video up even though it was your deadline. YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE EST AND I'M PROUD.
That high production value is pure gold 💛

This slaphappy, sleep deprived, kind of drunk seeming Christine is great! I enjoy. I am also too tired to finish sentences.
Woah, when you said Sober Up my heart stopped for a moment haha. It's definitely one of my writing songs too, I listened to it so many times while writing last night.
Ahhh this is so exciting Christine!!! Congrats on all your hard work!!
You never fail at introducing me to new (good) music !!
Congrats!!!! We're all so excited and happy for you!!💕✨🎆🎉
Sober Up has been one of my go to writing songs recently too! Love that song. I hope I get to go to BookCon this year and meet you!
congratulations!! looking forward to seeing you at book con!!
I just started to read the Harry Potter books and omg I’m already at book 5 😍 WHY HAVEN’T I STARTED SOONER???
You should listen to 'Weak' by AJR too Christine!!! Good luck with everything!
I finally finished my first draft of my book
Watching you has helped a ton
I can't wait to read this book and rewatch these videos. 😊
Christine's journey is so inspiring
OMG dear hank and john 💯 any nerdfighters here??
proud of you Christine! Way to go, you did it! 😃
I cannot wait until I can read your book, but in the meantime I’m going to take on the impossible task of trying to beat my high score on my Bop It whilst hearing the taunting phrase “Again, but better” 😅
Congratufreeeeeakinglations!! I'm busy editing my novel right now too. It's so HARD!
i'm so excited for your book to come out, can't wait to read it. Right, going to start my own book this year! so many ideas though...
I'm so happy to see you so excited about the new edits to your book! Can't wait to read it
