    Ana, how are your videos always so soothing?! 😍 your voice is so calming.
    I could never pantse my way through a book, I'm such a big plotter lol🙊 and yet, listening to your video I couldn't stop noticing how my writing process is similar to what you described? Before I jump into writing my stories, I write one or two sentence long descriptions of each chapter. That's how I plot my story! It's interesting knowing that while I consider that plotting, you think of it as pantsing.
    Regardless of what we call it, what matters is that we're getting our story written 🥰 keep up the good work!

    If you want to start a book, have a general idea. Also, think about the ending and what needs to be told through the story. Candyshop scenes help you work toward a point in your book and give structure. Also don't write your draft 0 (1) as an official draft, see it as a stakeholder document. Otherwise, it might take 4 years to write your book. ( speaking out of experience).

    The problem: I only wrote scenes that randomly came into my mind (mostly cute interactions between my mcs💀) but most of the time I have no idea how to connect them and where to get with the plot :(

    How should I handle chapter length? How short is a short chapter lol
    How many words on average should my chapters be (and sidenote - how much should my chapters vary in length bc i always find myself writing the same length chapters)
    Also how does that change if you're writing a shorter project like a 20-30K word novella rather than a full-length novel?
    loved the video as always :D you're such an inspiration to people like me who've never finished anything lol

    Just want to ask you a question, can I write my story with my phone? I want to use google doc, but I think it will be better to use a pc or a laptop that I currently don't have. I use google keep in maybe everything about story scenes, notes, ideas, informations, but I really love how you organize your doc but I am not sure if I should move to doc I , I'd love to know your opinion on what I said as writing using phone , Thanks for your video!! ♡

    Plotting just never worked for me. I made a plot for three books but I wrote not one of them. It just ruins the vibe of writing for me. I love to discover how my book turns out without knowing what happens when I start to write.
    Thank you for this video. It helped a lot.
    PS: My english is probably bad because my mother tongue isn't english. 😅
