    plotting chaos is soooo real omg. somehow this is still more coherent and organized than when i wake up in cold sweats at 3am to write ideas into my notes app, crusty eyed and half asleep. i wish you the best of luck on your book !!

    2:50 this kind of really helped me. i always want to write stuff i like but feel like no one else will. but it’ll be ok as long as i like it.

    I used to hate planning but i came to enjoy it, especially when i set up questions for myself it kind of opens everything up
    This was really fun! Excited for more videos like this

      I do think a slight love for planning was formed during this process haha

    Hello! 👋🏾
    Fellow writer here (TV: "Station 19"; Graphic Novels: "Blade Runner: Origins).
    I am very often in a similar boat. And youre doing great. Creating those really dope moments as "fixed points" that need to happen and then building to it while writing is how I mold everything. I even outline my books backwards to make sure those emotional moments hit harder.
    I can't wait to read it!

    Certified pantser here🙋 and I'm outlining for the first time in my life and I'm loving it. I just ignored the advice of every video I've watched on outlining and did my own thing😀. It's been working so well so far. Good luck on your journey to outlining.

    As a pantser, I also need some sort of timeline so I can fuck around those events. That kinda sounds weird but I can't think of a better phrase. I use the 7 point structure for plot and 3 act, 9 block, 27 chapters for loose character development and some plot. It's still a big mess but it helps me with making sense of everything. Also, this was the funniest plotting video I've watched and it's been years.

  • @ruba_ruby1
    @ruba_ruby1 2 місяці тому +1

    I relate to that feeling of wanting writing to feel therapeutic and fun, and it used to be at some point, but now it just feels hard or worse tedious. Once i wrap up my school stuff i plan on fully re-immersing myself in my writing and trying to get back into feeling like a writer again. As a pancer i relate to your struggles a lot and might to something similar to the post it note method to find some direction in my plot. PS: I'd be so interested in doing beta reading for you in the future!

    detention for failing too many math tests?? that's wild. Like why would they think detention would be a good response to that? so punitive

    • @geenahreads

      My dad asked the same thing 😂 Did I go on to be better at math after detention? No. No I did not.

    I feel like I'm watching myself do this for the first time. The sheer amount of things that happened in this video that also happened to me is so funny it's scary.
    "Who's texting me?" is one of my favorite parts simply because I have the same problem. Getting distracted is such a time sink it's painful.
    I also love the ah-ha moments happening in real time.
    10/10. Would watch again. Wouldn't understand, but would watch.

    I'm also plotting a book (and doing a LOT of world building as it's a fantasy) and I'm coming to believe that if the process isn't chaotic you're doing it wrong.

    Why do so many people talk about chaos? It was so organised, or maybe just my brain, see it this way. Is it strange that I felt like I knew what she meant with the vague explanatory notes? Or maybe my imagination just collected the breadcrumbs and created a story out of them on its own. Thank you for the video. It gave me motivation and a new way to try again to outline mine own story.

    I genuinely cannot conceptualized the mind of a panser, I plan stories more than I write them 😅 But i can't never finish any of them so maybe i should try pansing. How does one even go about this method?

  • @Mah_Sh_ell
    @Mah_Sh_ell 2 місяці тому

    First lemme tell you… you are huhlarious… your f-bombs you dropped throughout your video made me bust out laughing and I had to sub-in… second I was lead to your video and low and behold… I found myself having the same issue the first act. I wanted my first chapter to have the most dramatic scene to pull my audience in but decided to place it the end for a cliff hanger into my next book. 😮 I feel like I messed around and confused myself 😂😂😂😂😂 but watching your video helped me figure out act 1. All them f-bombs helped 😂😂😂… good luck with your writing. Thank you for sharing.

    • @geenahreads
      @geenahreads  Місяць тому

      I think they have a setting or “disclaimer” that you can click for the option for such. But I’m also not monetized so I am not entirely sure 🤷🏻‍♀️
