thx so much for all the hard work you do for the videos girl
1:06 write on paper
3:14 read like a writer
5:20 don't edit as you write
6:11 call yourself a writer
7:14 don't focus on word count, focus on time spent on your writing
great video as always ana!
Doing absolutely the opposite 😭😭
oh my gosh about a week ago i got my computer taken away for a few days and i ended up writing all my thoughts on paper 😂 it totally works
what are the odds! hope that experience is interesting! but i'm sure your missing ur computer
@@ananeui did! ty
Lol, thanks! My mom will take it from me to study😂😂😂
Same, my mom has to move it into my room since it was really heavy. Now I have to wait because I still don’t have it 😭
Reading like writer is so helpful. I'll usually write down a short review when I'm 25% through the book, then 50%, then 75%, then at the end, the review being over the plot, characters, and writing itself. It helps me recognize what I like and dislike and how I feel about the pacing because I struggle with pacing. That way, I can incorporate that into my own writing. Reflecting on what you read as a writer is so valuable.
as a fanfic writer, i definitely agree with the second tip! reading like a writer is not only fun, but helpful and productive. what i do when reading is mentally or physically note things id fix in the writing, such as typos, confusing strings of words, and awkward stops, and things that inspire me, for example, the main character in the fic im reading being flexible, which gave me the idea to have an ex-gymnast as a main character. i also write like im writing, if that makes sense. instead of just saying 'i 100% agree with tip 2' i try to write in paragraphs when its appropriate, such as now. i also tend to include whats thought of as minor or unimportant details, as those are crucial in writing.
and as for tip 5, depending on how you are, seeing your word count can be helpful for motivation, but only when your done with your chapter, per say. when i see my word count, i think of the word count of other works, as they are so much higher than mine, which pushes me to write more! but if that discourages you, ignoring your word count is for the better.
i’m currently writing draft 2 of my book and i’m already at 43k (i just started the book in january) and since i didn’t have an original outline i had to rewrite the wholeeee thing and i’ve gave myself a deadline to finish it by june 30th, and ur videos always give me so much motivation to write!!
I think it’s so impressive how much content you put out on your channel and your podcast and instagram, and your so consistent too. I thought it would be cool if you made a video on how you do this because especially in this day and age the way a lot of authors reach people is through their online presence. And it’s kind of built in as part of the job.
this is the nicest compliment i've ever been given. seriously - i mean it!! thank you so much for making me feel like i'm making a difference. i think its definitely a great video idea that i hope people could benefit from! thank you sm for the idea! i've been working really hard, and seeing that someone noticed and reached out to tell me is - ah! - so nice. so thank you again
My Tip: Don't shy away from reading craft books! Personally, I love "Story Genius" (Lisa Cron), "Save the Cat! Write a Novel" (Jessica Brody), and "The First 50 Pages" by Jeff Gerke. But remember a key thing with craft books: not everything that is recommended will work for your writing habits/style! But learning new skills and new ways to think about stories can help improve your foundational draft immensely. 💜
Ana ur vids has helped me so much! Ur defo my fav authortuber!
Your videos are so inspiring ana can't wait till your next post
Hi, Ana! This has honestly really helped. I'm currently writing an Angel/Demon apocalyptic story and have a habit of trying to edit my first drafts while writing them so I'm definitely going to get into the routine of Habit 3. You are my main motivation for writing and I consider you as one of my writing friends that I can always go to when I need help with writing. Also, I loved your eyeliner today! Have a good day :)
this comment holds my heart! aww ofc, please come to my videos or podcast if you ever need something to motivate or comfort you
Tysm ana! This helped a ton ☺️
ahhh i love this sm!!! def very helpful for me hahaha. keep it up ana ❤
Thank you so much for the tips, you are the reason me and my best friend are writing a book together ❤
I love these tips!!💛 my favourite one over the years has definitely been "reading like a writer" :) annotating stories and studying narrative structure has helped me immensely, but the tip you mentioned about "calling yourself a writer" is honestly underrated! so many writers talk down to themselves when they shouldn't. if writing is meaningful to you, then you *are* a writer :))
aw kris! i totally agree! writers need to have more faith in themselves and their work. writing confidence is something that can grow overtime and be shattered so quickly. its difficult when someone close to you degrades your work. but most of the time that person is ourselves. tysm for watching kris!! can't wait for more content on your channel too
Can’t wait to watch 😊😊
Ana slaying with the new videos and new hair
I agree with the word count tip 100 percent. I was getting really hard on myself with word count, to the point I was belittling myself for not hitting the same numbers in the same time frame I did the day prior. It's so unproductive and can set you back.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you for helping out young writers!
aww your so welcome! glad I could help🤍🥺
thank you so much for the tips, your videos motivate me to write
ana, i just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos 🥺 i’m currently writing my first novel and hoping to get it published (either by self-publishing or with an actual publisher) and your videos have helped me so much to be more confident about my work/have more faith in myself that I can do this 💓 lots of love to you! 🦋✨
you CAN do this! i have so much faith in you. your doing so so well!!
@@ananeu i love you so much!!!
Yes ! To all of these tips 🙂 especially writing by hand in a notebook it really helps with getting in the flow again and helps with brainstorming. And tracking your writing through time is easier. I experience the same thing with word count during Nanowrimo it actually made me more discouraged to keep up with everyone else. Because actually alot of things goes into writing doing research, brainstorming, different drafts and word count is the last thing to worry about since it changes with editing.
Another tip if you track your writing with using time you can also use a task or to do list to see what you've accomplished during that time. Can
i write more on paper than on pc, since i mainly write in my free time at school where i dont have my laptop w me. i do write on laptop when i need extra planning for a chapter book though
Thank you for these tips. I totally agree and recommend writing on paper especially when writing short forms of writing like poetry or flash to get first drafts done. I also recommend The Great Gatsby to read as a writer if you haven't all ready. As a reader I understand its not the most interesting book available but as a writer I think its a good look in how to craft a story with complexed characters and a unreliable narrator. I think Kris MF also did a video on books that impacted her writing which might be useful for you. :)
forgot to tell you on your last video, love your hair! I'm in two yeays on the same manuscript. Its getting kind of tiring but its confusing because i still love my story and my characters but im getting lost on what to do next, even though i know where my story is going. I don't know, wanted to spill that out. Your videos are amazing!
Eep! I just found your channel! I love your channel and I’m following your podcast ☺️such a great feeling finding UA-cam writers ✨
eee aww this means the worldddd! thank youuu🥺🥺
Who remembers when she was a rainbow loomer? Her channel is perfect. I love looming and writing so like when i want to loom, I just head to your channels old videos. When I wanna write, I check out ur old videos
Thank you very much for the advise
Am going on a detox and i will definitely miss your content😭
cool tips, help a lot
I love this 💛 I just recently posted a writing video onto my channel. Thanks for giving me the lil inspirational I needed xx
Ayy MXTX novels 🤩
Hi Ana! Ive asked in a few videos, but I really want to know the order to write my book in 😅❤
Is it first brain dump, then character brainstorm, then plot? Or when does manuscript come im? I’m super new to writing 💗 I would really appreciate if you could help! Also I love all your content, keep on posting 🫶💕🌸
eee aww bestie! i have a new video going up next week ALL ABOUT THIS. def stay tuned hehe🤍
@@ananeu ahhh thank you so much that sounds amazing 🫶
thank youu! I find the "read like a writer tip" really helpful, especially when your reading from your favorite authors! (so in my case, Jennifer Nielsen lol) Its a useful skill since you can see exactly how they write and what is it about their style that makes you enjoy it so much. Bonus tip is to reread your favorite books or your favorite series and try to take notes on their writing style! Taking ideas from different authors and then comparing them will help you in understanding how to find a writing style :)
Side note: could you actually make a video on writing style? I really want to know how
this is so great! re-reading what you love allows you to understand what makes you love the story - and how you can learn to implement these things into your own works!! i'm so happy for u! please don't give up bestie!
@@ananeu
off topic but you look gorgeous with black hair ❤😊
4:26 WAS THAT SVSSS? I LOVE THAT SERIES :D
I'm creating a short story called corvid still needs a plot though I was thinking a girl who hangs out with corvids and speaks to them and I think it's a really sweet story.
1:29
Did you make that journal? I've seen it in the background of some of your videos and always wondered if it was handmade.
haha i WISH i handmade it! no it's just a lil journal hehe
I’m trying so hard to write my story with a Misbelief/fatal flaw for my character Hannah who is a foxlike elf princess who has a crush on another elf prince but she’s too shy to tell him Don’t know how I would turn that into a fatal flaw/Misbelief. Any advice
First ❤❤
Hold up-- I had to stop at 4:26 because I thought "hmm that looks suspiciously like a book from MXTX" then I realized, OH! Funny because during the whole "read like a writer" I was just thinking about how to do that as I am currently rereading Heaven Officials Blessing! Anyways, thank for all these good tips! I literally took a whole college course called "reading as a writer," so this is extra affirmation to get my notebook out as I read!
i need a serious answer please, i love writing but i don't read, is this normal?
First 🎉😂
1st!
Not editing as I write is how I finished my first NaNoWriMo Draft! 😊
I'm so bad at not editing as I write I'm trying to break the habit though
Writing by hand is actually the best way to write. It helps you focus more and gives ur brain some space to work. If you haven't tried it out...TRY IT NOW! the words will flow out of you like raindrops. 🌱
oooo we can tell your a writer hehe 'words will flow out of you like raindrops' - how do you casually write something like that!!? BEAUTIFUL. STUNNING.
@@ananeu years of writing I guess. Started it when I was only 6 :D
Your thumbnail has a typo
