    “I’m such a bad writer. That was literally poop on a stick.” 😂😂 ughh so relatable. Grateful you’re so candid about your process and your feelings along the way! Great job for giving yourself space and returning to it and not giving up!! We’re so harsh with ourselves sometimes.

      thank you!! thoughts like those can be so discouraging sometimes so i’m doing my best to not let them fester and to instead just accept that sometimes what i write will absolutely be 💩 but that doesn’t make me a bad writer, just a writer who sometimes writes bad things! and on top of that what i put out on paper can always be improved!

    I am a writer and after I bumped in to your channel a week ago, I've been binge watching your videos eversince. I saw that video where you had Africafe and I knew you are either from Tanzania or someone close to you is.
    I saw your surname today, 'Wambura' and I thought you should know...I'm also a Wambura 😍😍😍. I was shocked but happy to see that.
    I've been loving your videos a lot...very helpful.
    And I also thought you should know that I also watch Abbie Emmon's videos.

    hi! so from a very nervous writer, i'm working on my draft one. i started it randomly yesterday and i'm already on chapter 8, page 44, with 9,878 words. everytime i look at someone else's document, they have over 20,000 words and their only on chapter 9 or 10. should i be adding more detail, or should i just relax and review this when i'm on draft two? thank you, from a reeling and aspiring author

    I'm not great at multitasking, either! And also glad to hear there's someone else who can't listen to music while writing. Because I can't, especially not if the song has LYRICS.
    Oh, and I'm also looking for beta readers with no luck! If someone would like to beta read my 65k dark YA fantasy, kindly contact me.

      @awakenmystory 2 роки тому +2

      a beta reader is someone who will read and critique your book before you decide it's ready to be published. they will tell you if you have any plot holes, if your characters seem believable, if they find anything doesn't make sense in your book, so you can fix it and make your story as best as it can be! :)
