I Wrote an Entire Book in 14 Days (!!!) NaNoWriMo

preview_player
Показать описание
Don't ask me why, I just did. 63,000 words in 14 days HECK YEAH I'M STOKED! It's like National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), but twice as fast... and in February.

I'm beyond proud of myself. This was THE MOST fulfilling creative thing that I've done in quite a long time, and I'm really, really pleased with how the book turned out. My first draft is DONE, so now it's time for editing, and then figuring out how the heck to get my book published. (If anyone knows anything or happens to be a literary publicist on the hunt for a great new dystopian book, hmu!)

Happy #FreelanceFriday!

If you want to publish your book traditionally, you have to write a query letter, send it off to agents, sign with an agent and then your agents will pitch your book to publishing companies!! This is the case for literally every traditionally published book. But you can always go the self-publishing route though I have no idea about any of that haha good luck! And you're insane! 2 weeks is CRAZY quick!

Congrats, Carrie!! It truly is about getting inspired, dreaming big, and making an actionable plan in order to achieve one's goals. We all have to do what brings us joy and try to distance ourselves from the naysayers and negative self-talk. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm in the first round of editing on my first novel, too. Also considering starting a blog, to boot. I guess this is the universe inspiring me to follow through. LOL

Carrie, thank you so much for this channel! I'm losing my job in June, the company I work for is closing. So I've been trying to figure out what to do next. I started recording my self playing World of Warcraft last year so that I could watch it back and get better at the game. My friends talked me into uploading them to YT and I had to learn how to do video editing. I fell in love with editing. I know your a copywriter, but your channel has so much information about stepping out on your own as a freelancer that it's just inspiring. And for that I thank you. I posted my first gig on Fiverr tonight, waiting for the video to be approved before it goes live, but here goes.... Oh and a shoutout to my other new hero in the freelance world Wayne the Articulate Asian that you turned me on to as well. Thank you!!!

I published 6 books (science books for naval engineering) and I used the self-publishing option because it brings me constant profit monthly instead of one big (small) chunk from the publisher and then nothing. So for you, it is different because it is a different subject. I have a couple of books ready like yours but since I am "popular" as a maritime engineer I feel like if I put an SF or novel out there it will hurt me professionally. Make sure to check all the tiny details and options because when I was looking to publish my first book the difference in prices was huge. And all the tiny details in the contracts.... read them! :D

From the way you plan, you might like Scapple from Literature and Latte. I use this often to brainstorm. (I have no financial interest in promoting it.)

Carrie, just a quick suggestion on your youtube tags - Why add so many irrelevant video tags at the beginning? Fiverr, fiver seller? I think tags like how to write a book, book writing tips should be at the beginning. That way, you can actually target a new audience who is looking for writing tips. Some will stay, some won't but your content could be exposed to a newer audience. Also, how about a headline like - "How I wrote a 63, 000-word novel? (in only 14 days!)" You're a more experienced copywriter than I am, so you know better. But just wanted to share something I'm currently learning with one of my favorite YouTuber.

Hey Carrie, I am curious about the equipment that you use to shoot your videos. Thanks for sharing :)

P.S really love your background setup.

Hey Carrie! I think this was my favorite video you've done! Thanks for sharing! Question: I am currently in the process of launching a blog to promote my future book, and before going live I am RESEARCHING out the wazoo to ensure everything is good to go. I'm working on researching how to ensure my blog is "legal" and to this end, I know I need certain legal contracts on my website like the terms and conditions, the privacy policy, etc. I saw your website and noticed you had these legal contracts posted on your website/blog. I googled....and there are a bazillion telling me that THEIR legal contracts for personal blogs are the best and none of the others should be trusted...I'm kinda drowning in all the ambiguity surrounding legal contracts for LLC/blog sites. Would you mind please telling me where you got your website's legal contracts? Or could you make a recommendation for me? Thank you so much!

I’m not a big reader, as you know, but I’d read your book because I loved the inspiration books!! ♥️👍

"welcome back to my comment!"
I guess it makes sense to write a book fast. It makes a lot of sense. The other day I brainstormed with a mentor of mine and I had a plot ready in 5 mins(literally)! Have you heard of Dan Harmon's story circle? That usually shows how a good story is written.
14 days - Accuracy level - 💯💪

Oh! Also how are you "grammatically" editing your manuscript? Are you using an editor/proofreader on Fiverr?

I discovered your channel a few days ago, and it is quite useful for all the potential writers. Hats off!
Looking forwards to your response. Thanks!

Hey Carrie,
I will be filing my taxes for the first time. I watched your video on taxes last night. Can you share the spreadsheet or the contact details of the accountant you hired. Thank you. Love, Nukhba. ❤
