Helllo and welcome to another Project Tea Cup vlog! Come write a novel with me as I cafe hop around Tokyo. I'm currently working on a fantasy novel, and I'm about to kick off draft four of the story (which is the final draft of the book!). It was a really, lovely, self indulgent way to work--I worked out of some beautiful cafes and loved getting the opportunity to show you around Tokyo as well. Thank you so much for watching 💛

There's nothing wrong with treating yourself to something nice. If you have the financial capacity to do so, just do it. Life is hectic enough as it is. As always, great video!
Sounds person here! sometimes microphones and speakers can pick up radio signals - it could be something in the internal fibers of your microphone or one of your audio cables. It's usually based on the area you're recording in!
As a viewer from the USA, I can’t help but think the matcha in Japan must hit on a million other levels. Yummmm
The visual of Starbucks selling rotisserie chickens is so funny to me lol
I love working in cafes! Co-working and body doubling helps me focus. And libraries can be a bit cavernous and cold sometimes, cafes are cosy and have built-in asmr of china clinks and lofi music and murmuring conversation. I appreciate the qualifier that money doesn't need to be spent to be productive - very important, but also if you do have the money for it, it's not extravagant and it's very human ✨🌙✨
This cafe looks so cute and cozy 🥹
You're so sweet. I loved the vlog and didn't not feel you splurged. You deserve some esthetically pleasing places to recharge and be a creative.
I just wanted to say I love your writing vlogs. I am also an aspiring writer and am currently working on a fantasy novel and memoir.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
We all need a day to treat ourselves. Either buying a new book or going to a fancy cafe. This was a lovely video ♡
yay! A new one! I love these so much!
I'm taking a break from my fallen angel since writing the first book in my notebook physically and mentally drained me out. But I'll get to it when I feel up to it. As always great video!
this video super lovely and sweet it motivate me to write i fouund your videos are just wonderful christeen 😊😊😃
Recently subscribed to your channel and I find your vlogs really cosy but also really motivating! Seeing you work on your novel makes me want to work on mine and finally complete a draft for once. So excited to watch this vlog, I hope to go to Japan one day too and that you have a great time there. Thanks for all the effort and time you put into your videos (and for sharing your process with us while you’re on vacation too!). ❤
Thank you for being real. I love cafés and pretty places and go there too often, more often than I can afford lol. But still most of the work gets done when I'm at home, 1am, looking a mess, crouching on my chair, stressing out about deadlines and drinking lots of tea. Creativity is not very pretty.
You look so cute in your hoodie and glasses with your hair up and no makeup ! 😍
I loved this! It's great to see what I call a 'cute day' like this, because you're right that it's not always feasible.
Such a lovely and relaxing vlog! Now I want to have a day in Tokyo cafes too ~ Writing a book is actually one of my dreams, your videos are really inspiring!❤❤❤
Tokyo's cafe culture is top tier! Makes me want to go back. Finding the right cafe to write in is essential lol 👀 what a shame if you have to visit a few 🤭
I love what you said about people feeling like they need to look aesthetically pleasing while making art/writing. I do feel like this is because of social media and artists also having to content create and put that pretty picture forward which isn’t reality. Lovely vlog. And so glad you treated yourself. ❤
I'm learning how to make vlogs by watching your videos 🤎
seeing you post a video about novel-writing just filled my novel-writing heart with such joy :D it's been so inspiring to see you continue with your novel-writing journey with endurance and passion for what you do
"usually i'm at home, in a hoodie, with greasy hair, looking like a goblin" literally just described me right now. how.
I absolutely adore watching your vlogs, it always makes me fel like home
Nakameguro is my favourite area in Tokyo. It’s so great to see it again through your videos and of course to follow you along as you work on your project. 😊✨ Thank you for sharing!!
I always have to max out my video quality whenever I watch your vlogs because I just know the production value is going to be absolutely off the charts
I'm in the states and I only went to a Starbucks for coffee for the first time this year lol and I....still didn't get the hype! But I totally get what you mean. We don't have too many privately own coffee shops around me, and I feel bad just taking my computer and sitting in there for a few hours when people want to come in to eat and drink coffee. With Starbucks though, that's basically the culture so it makes sense to go there for work.
I know what you mean though, in reality that's really not the life for a lot of people who WFH or write cause it can get expensive, but when you're in a new place or desperately need a change of scenery and escape, it's a great way to explore! I almost always feel guilty if I spend money on coffee out, I can't help it. Financial trauma is REAL. I was in a similar boat, I really didn't have much money at all until my 30s and am constantly reminded by my friends that it's okay, you can afford to treat yourself a bit now & that's ok!
Such a wonderful idea to write your own novel...I wish I had your spirit & energy. Withy respect, Lemonia
Thanks for sharing, love your videos! Sorry if you already have a video like this, but if not, can you make one where you show us what programs you use for writing, editing, and annotating your work?
Can’t wait til I can read
Of all the cities to try starbux for the first time, Tokyo seems ideal... look at all those pastry options. And the matcha cream soda looks so yummy.
8:47 wow,that’s some Starbucks! I’m so enjoying this video!
Libraries can't be beat ❤
ahh i loved this! Made me miss cafe hoping in Tokyo 🥺
I’d like to visit Japan one day. I’ve never been and I would like to see their culture and foods they eat. Yes there is a lot of anime, comic books, video games etc, but more importantly, the history. It’ll be an exciting adventure
I live in Tokyo and the first cafe looks cozyyyyy!!!
Love your videos. You're a wonderful person, Christy❤
I love your video :) The cafe Trips is helping me write my book. lol the beginning chapter takes place in a cafe lol. Also , If you have the money to do something nice. I say do it. Life is too short to just not do it. but , Also being cautious with money is a good thing , lol The Goblin comment is so true. I have had my messy hair , wanting to be under a blanket days before and those are the rare moments. I actually get out alot of words. If I'm not procrating and not writing lol.
I am currently working on another book while my beta readers read my other book. This is just the motivation I needed to continue thank you.
You've worked your absolute behind to be where you are. Enjoy those cafes! But I 1000% understand the difficulties feeling odd around spending money that seems frivolous. Trauma from growing up without much money is a real thing and you're the first person I've heard that verbalized it so well 🖤 but try to enjoy! You can't take it with you in the end haha.
That matcha cream soda looked so good! 🤩 I always enjoy your videos. You deserve a visit to a bakery or roastery once in a while, specially if you are working at the same time on 2 things: creating UA-cam content and writing your novel. Enjoy!!
Great video!!! And I'm glad you treated yourself and the cafes in Tokyo are really pretty :)
Yey❤❤ another vlog!!
Hi!!! Former Teavana employee! Teavana was a tea company that was bought up by Starbucks a few years ago. They used to specialize in loose leaf tea, but now it's Starbuck's more high-end teas (I'm assuming) compared to Tazo. I'm sure that out of the US, the Teavana name gave Starbucks a lot more tea options because the original company had contacts with various tea gardens.
Love your videos! Very motivating as I possibly move to trying to write a novel after working on screenplays the past few years.
I remember teavana used to work with these chain cafes called barista, in India some years ago. Barista used to enjoy starbucks status back then and teavana was everywhere!
another amazing video by Christy!! Tokyo looks wonderful at this time of year
I always enjoy watching your videos! I'm living in Tokyo and I'm currently in the 'I don't have too much money to spend on cozy cafes often' phase haha. By the way bookdepository closed! You still have it linked in your description
Hi! I wish to take an English lesson from a lovely teacher like you!! ❤️🔤 Enjoy Tokyo!! 🌸✨(Btw, I'm Japanese. 🍡🍣🇯🇵)
We hope you’re doing well. God bless you.
I love this vlog, it's so peaceful and so nice to see all the pretty cafes to write in! I'm going backin September and would love to get some editing done on draft 3 of my own adult fantasy novel, do you have a favourite cafe you would recommend in Tokyo? Also in Kyoto and Osaka as we're going there too?
Do you know, when project tea cup will be published?
As a fellow Australian, any tips for visiting Tokyo/Japan and not knowing the language at all? 😊
yay!
Aww I loved hearing you speak in Japanese :3
I like reading Tawada Yoko book, thank u
How do you add notes to the drafts you’re working on?
the creepy mystery audio :O

I thought the crow was a random dude laughing...
