Thanks for this! I’m currently writing my first book. It’s about a pregnant physiologist who moves next door to a older lady who eventually becomes obsessed with the physiologist’s pregnancy.

Literally started brainstorming a fantasy novel this morning, and I’ve been out of it for so long. Or at least, out of it regarding my writing. So this popped up just at the right time. Anyway, always adore ur vids girl, it’s nice to see other people my age enjoy writing. 😩

I literally love writing! I have millions of ideas living in my head :) Most of the time though I don’t act out on them, but I am planning on making a story that I will eventually turn into a horror game! I’m so excited of what the future will hold, since I’ve got so many fun twists in mind! Thank you for making this video! It’s so great to see that others enjoy writing as much as I do! :)

i enjoy writing more fantasy tyoe stuff, yet ive never gotten anywhere far with it. ive only gotten around 50-60 pages done when im always aiming for at least 100 pages. i saw this video and decided to check it out. still in the brainstorming part, but this has already been a huge help! i already understand what im going to be writing about more than ive ever understood what ive already written. never seen you before, but your helping me out girlie! ✨️

edit: ive already dumped that last idea but i think its because im doing things ive only thought about for a day or so. this time, im doing something thats much deeper than the last idea. my temp name for it is Liar's Throne. its where the king or this medieval/fantasy kingdom is a tyrant and the main character is a knight/guard of this said tyrant. the knight soon realizes that the king is a tyrant and experiences the moral dilemma; the life he has, or a better life for the rest of the kingdom.

OMG ana, girl, I have NO idea how much you helped me to develop a romance book series. Luv u

[Jazzes.official]

started thinking of a fantasy novel, i had always dreamt of being a novelist. and i watched a lot of fantasy movies/series. and i did had multiple other ideas, but they were old. this one was new. and i actually wanted to publish an actual story. so here i am :)

[StudioLindsay]

I’m literally writing a children’s book about a talking cat 😸

[J-Earthling]

I started writing a book series last year that is a Horror/Sci-fi/Fantasy, and I just finished book 3. Maybe one day I'll publish. You have the best ideas. I watch your channel all the time. Your channel has been so helpful ! :)

[birdsnestcreations]

Im really glad I have come across this video. Ive been on a wroting break and completly scrapped the story i was working on. I got too wrapped up on worls building to realize the story itself didn't work. Now, 3 years later. Ive done more studying into literature and story telling of various forms... I have a lot more of a solid idea for a story. Simce its been while since ive started from scratch, this video has definitely helped. This is the most confident in what kind of story i wanted to share. I have an actual point and message I want to say.

Thank you so much!

[tiniwhiffles]

insane how I always find videos of yours that answer the exact question I needed to be answered 😭

[nereid]

plotting my books are always boring but this kinda helped, thank you for making these ana! :)

[Kowiism]

I have a book competition in school. I want my story to be a kid’s book but also a book where adults can find the deep meanings my characters depict and also relate. I will come back with the results !! 😖

[vivibutterfly]

Im planning to write a historical fiction book, and this makes it so fun and easy to do! :D

[ingridpetersen]

This was sooo helpful, I have plenty of characters and story ideas but I couldn't figure out of to combine them but this has help me immensely!

[annapearl]

[filonarafinja]

I'm brainstorming a book since January (I can't write it yet because I have an ongoing book that I want to finish first) I always write down specific questions that I need to answer before starting

[ThePinkLatte]

thats helpful, thanks, i had an idea and i need to turn it to a plot. its about a forgotten girl who finds a forgotten kingdom, not marked on a map

[mananlakhotia]

I wrote 3 chapters of a book about a kid who goes to a spy school to know about his grandfather's past or legacy

[TheQueenofDarkness]

I'm recently planning a Fantasy Series and this video popped up at the right time. I was having trouble with motivation and ideas and this really helps.❤ I love to see young writers following their dreams, (like me).
