Although I'm on my 8th book right now this video really helped me. And I'm gonna admit that I've started so many other books and almost immediately lost interest in them. But I am always coming back to my original series and since I already have 7 books about it I can continue, and I'm always brainstorming so many ideas for this series. And yes lol after I watch super hero movies or any movies/shows that are similar I just want to run to my book and start writing. Thank you for the tips I really appreciate it!
this is going to sound incredibly heinous but I use comic sans for my zero draft and it helps a lot!! there's something about a messy font that lessens the stress on making everything perfect. I just word vomit EVERYTHING and it helps me so much !!
lmaoo I used to do this for my short stories because I couldn't stand Arial (it just looks so soulless to me? But a fancy font feels too "finished" when I'm still writing). It sort of worked, I liked the spacing of comic sans because it made it easy to read.
@@ZDragonimated yesss haha. I also use verdana sometimes because it's one of the main fonts used on ao3 (lmao) so it makes me feel like I'm writing beautiful fanfiction lol
I am 12 years old. And , I wrote my own crime thriller book. And , the book is going to be published. And , now, I am writing my second crime and suspense thriller book. 😊😊
The thing I love most about your tips it that they always get my brain to think of things from another perspective. Even though I wouldn't call myself a real beginner anymore, I really took something out of it. And the funniest thing is that I didn't really think of of actively using the fonts even though I got them all around me basically all day XD So again, thank you for your insight and inspiration! Seeing someone being that passionate about something always makes my day :D
I'm actually more driven, when i don't talk about my book with others. it's like a secret mission. now that i do that, i'm more disciplined than before, when being so open about it. can recommend it :)
Talk to text really helps for me. It allows me to talk through and think about what I will say. I think it’s such a great way to “talk” your book through.
I’m so happy to have found someone on UA-cam with the same passions and beliefs as me. Thank you for sharing your gifts , ideas and tips with all of us! God bless you Ana!
OMG IT'S MEE!! YES! I love all these tips :) I wish I could have watched this video when I was younger and *struggling* to finish the first draft of a book. I'm in revision hell right now, and these tips are also helping me a lot too. Thanks for this video Ana
aw hi kelley! im glad these tips can help a wide range of writers. i find myself needing to hear these own pieces of advice over and over again as well!
Thank you Ana! You are such an inspiration and I can’t wait for your book to come out (it is on my list of books I want to buy). One question though, do you know around when it might come out because I literally will buy it the second it is available 😊
Guys, no, im telling you im muslims. The part where Ana talks about god is so real. Like, im out here talking to God like he's my best friend. And it's so fun. You guys should try it, no matter your faith. It brings you closer to god
eeek im catholic and i agree soso much!! my relationship with God is a friendship, a mentor and a parent! like, i switched churches after going to uni in another city and my new church encouraged us to build trust and understanding like youd do with any other relationship with God. chat with him! tell him about your day, the things you are thankful for, your goals and sadnesses! he wont carry me through life or hardships or magically fix everything, but for support and the knowledge that i am strong enough to get through and he is always there, cheering me on :))
I’m trying to write my first fantasy novel, and I’m trying to not make it sound like a stereotypical young adult fantasy novel. But the thing is. I really really like enemies to lovers- And I really want the protagonist to be an assassin-
My process Is basically the same as yours, although idea brainstorming it’s just my day-to-day life, interesting things come up every day. Worldbuilding and making the characters are switched too.
Talking with others about your book really helps, that's true. I just talked with my mom and an amazing idea came to my head. Totally recommend it! All the other tips seem really helpful, I'll totally try it. I love your videos, you help so much
I don't know how i did this but I just sat for a few minutes and thought of my idea and wrote it down and that seems to be working I am getting a lot of people saying that my book is really good but these tips are really good
@@FizzabelleStudios Soooo real like whenever I see smth that could be even the slightest interesting book plot I just get bored with the idea I already haveee 😭😭
Tysm ana! I've been writing my story for 2 yrs now, but something kept on discouraging me! I found this vid and saw that i couldn't write a perfect book❤ That message kept on encouraging me to write even further😊 TYSMM🎉🎉 P.S to ppl that need that message too 10:50
Can’t figure out if I’m an “extra early morning” writer or a “super late night writer” … I typically wake up around 3am-4am and I write the best until around 7am-8am. There’s something wrong with me and it’s obvious 😂😂

I really want to write because it has always been my childhood dream and I want to write a different world, bring life to characters, and tell a story but my writing is not really, I feel like my imagination is so small and limited, I don't really know a lot of things to write about, and I don't know how to write a character that is interesting and complex. Does anyone feel the same way or have any tips?
Absolutely on the reading tip- and all the tips, really, but I'm highlighting this one bc my birthday and Yule are around the same time (kinda) and I intend to ask for books. just books. so many books. actually if anyone reading this has good fantasy/horror/fantasy horror book suggestions I'd love them tyyyy
Thank you for this video!! I was wondering what your view is on writing fiction that is not explicitly Christian? I am a Christian too and I love to write, but sometimes I feel bad writing something that is not about our faith when I could choose to write about that. Does that make sense?
hey!! i am watching this video right now (obviously😂❤ ) and i have a question i want to ask, because i´m not sure if i should continue my book like how it is right now. In there, there is a lot of walking from city to city and back and forth and i really don´t know if it ruins the flow of my story because not much is happening but i can´t just cut it out because it would be... just awkward. Maybe you have an opinion or such because i´m stuck and its really freaking me out 😭 thank you in advance❤
i am sure you can leave that part in your story! if ur worrying about the pacing - know that you can fix that up after through editing. i think the 'travelling between cities' is a great way for ur readers to know more about ur characters or give ur characters a break from the plot. hope this helps!
another tip: never constantly use " Said", try using other words like cried, shouted, screamed and etc! if you use said on and off, the reader might lose interest in your story.
Hey @ananeu , I loved your video very much , and the advices were great . But the dead flowers in the back were contradicting your thoughts , you are advising about new beginning and a great start , but the flowers in the back are dead and they represents the end . If you make videos and surroundings don't go with it , it just feel uncomfortable , these are just my thoughts , don't get me wrong . (forgive my bad english) Thanks
Sweetheart you’re literally talking about everything but how to write a book. I wanna write a book about the love of my life and how I lost him and I just want your five steps, but you just keep going on about other things you keep promoting products and then going on about how much we need it no idea what the five steps were. Please be mindful of that.
Christianity is such an integrated cult people don't even grasp that it is, by definition, absolutely a cult. But unfortunately announcing that out loud will just have people questioning your sanity and morals. So, consider coming off the soap box.

@@ananeu exactly!

That's great!!
Whats your books name I kinda wanna read it:)

I am 11 years old. After writing many short stories, I am trying to write a book! I hope I make it far.
Yeah you will!
i talk abt my book alot to people and it helps me too bc i feel more confident
I'm actually more driven, when i don't talk about my book with others. it's like a secret mission. now that i do that, i'm more disciplined than before, when being so open about it. can recommend it :)

well this came out at the perfect time just as i get a book idea i think i can actually write!!!

Are you saying other regions are less spiritual?
@@diya_777she’s saying the opposite!
@@neverforgetpapa5386 ok thanku soo much ♡
You can actually do that with many Gods even.

I love to talk about my book ideas with people, especially my family, but every time I do, they always tell me to shut up so it's kind of hard for me
@@GACHAShadow-cb5kf Oof, i feel sorry for u. Hope u find someone that u can talk about ur book with. I'd also love to listen
@@Aleksandra-x4w Yeah. I don't really have any friends to talk to either. I'd love to talk to you about story ideas, if you wouldn't mind.
ana the editing on this is stunning omg!! i swear your videos get better every time😋
ahh aw thank uuu TT (im sobbing so u know)

Same here!!! I’ve been subbed for a while but when I found out she also shares my beliefs and also likes to write, I was like yes!
We don't have enough Christianity in the world, especially not on BookTube! So glad she said it. @@KewpiKayo
@@jcharriswrites yes! I’m so glad there are more people on UA-cam that are on team Jesus! Maybe one day I will post a video🤣
We love Christian content creators
You videos are always helpful
What platform do you use to organise and write your books?
Am 13 and am really interested in writing books I wish I had someone who can help me😊
Can’t figure out if I’m an “extra early morning” writer or a “super late night writer” … I typically wake up around 3am-4am and I write the best until around 7am-8am. There’s something wrong with me and it’s obvious 😂😂
Im a super late night person
Just started writing chapter 2 of my first draft

Ana, we’re waiting for some ✨Christmas✨ content!!! 💞
omggg! i was hoping to do some xmas live write with me's with some other author tubers!
What's the app/site you're using at 11:32? 🥺
its called 'Mirror' - watch this video if you wanna hear more about it! ua-cam.com/video/usEja4-lF5M/v-deo.html
hey!! i am watching this video right now (obviously😂❤ ) and i have a question i want to ask, because i´m not sure if i should continue my book like how it is right now. In there, there is a lot of walking from city to city and back and forth and i really don´t know if it ruins the flow of my story because not much is happening but i can´t just cut it out because it would be... just awkward.

thank you very much
Thank you very much. Good tips.

How can I send her my book
hey! does anyone know books similar to Anne of Green Gables the series?
There is a tv show thats a bit different called 'anne whith an e'
I heard watching tv shows also helps writing and lots of people say this
OK--Hey!!
❤❤❤
Ngl who else writes an entire book in their notes app?
🎉❤😊
You are using google to wrtie a book. They read all disk content so you know.
Feels like an unnecessary tip in there for an ad…
Its not
Hey @ananeu , I loved your video very much , and the advices were great . But the dead flowers in the back were contradicting your thoughts , you are advising about new beginning and a great start , but the flowers in the back are dead and they represents the end . If you make videos and surroundings don't go with it , it just feel uncomfortable , these are just my thoughts , don't get me wrong . (forgive my bad english) Thanks
Another helpful and relatable video as always, and I just love how openly you talk about your faith online 🫶
Sweetheart you’re literally talking about everything but how to write a book. I wanna write a book about the love of my life and how I lost him and I just want your five steps, but you just keep going on about other things you keep promoting products and then going on about how much we need it no idea what the five steps were. Please be mindful of that.
Unsubscribed, I don’t support nor follow those involved in well established cults because they’re dangerous and toxic to others.
what cult?
Wdym cult??
what cult.... 😭
bro stop trolling this poor girl who’s just tryna write 😭
Christianity is such an integrated cult people don't even grasp that it is, by definition, absolutely a cult. But unfortunately announcing that out loud will just have people questioning your sanity and morals. So, consider coming off the soap box.
