I tried Brandon Sanderson's LATE NIGHT writing routine 🌙✒️

Hello everyone and welcome to another author routine attempt video! In this one, I tried Brandon Sanderson's late night writing routine (in which he goes to sleep at 4am and wakes up at noon!) I've been having so much fun with these author writing routine videos 😭 Please let me know which one you'd like to see next 💛

"Just because it's difficult, doesn't mean you're bad at it" – these are the words I needed to hear

I really like that his routine is so late. I often feel shame from society, from productivity folks that you need to be successful you need to wake up at the crack of dawn and begin hustling. I have trouble falling asleep at like 10pm and waking up at 8am. So my bedtime is usually around 1-3am.

I love Brandon Sanderson so much for mentoring a generation of authors for free. His willingness to help and offer advice is so wholesome ❤

I'd love a routine that includes a regular work day! I don't see many examples where decent writing sessions can be squeezed into those busy schedules.

If/when the book that is currently Project Teacup gets published, it would be so interesting to see an author interview with you about your process of writing the book, having dipped in and out of so many different authors' writing routines during the process 😊

Finally something I could do :) Except I would find it hard to have another long section of writing at night, but this is definitely the first "routine" I can relate to.

This video I needed right now. I'm plotting my first novel, so it's really hard to hold all the pieces in my head. I love my fantasy outline. I love my romance subplot outline. But I can tell that they don't follow the same timeline. Like my couple has to fit their break up in somewhere, but the plot has them working together all the time. Aha. Just figured it out. Duh. The overlap will bring delicious tension as they try to work together while just having broken up. K. This is how your video helped-- I had to stop flinching away from the confusion, and just face it. Not so horrible... Thanks for sharing!

Great video - even though I'm not a fiction writing I love learning about these different routines.

We find your logs peaceful and calming to watch. We wish you all the best in your writing journey. God bless you.

Sanderson has 3 children and he's getting up at noon every day, then working for 8 hours in a day. Clearly his wife is doing most, if not all the childcare and housework, really it's her who should be getting praise for his writing routine because without her support it would never happen.

Finally a night owl's routine for writer 😫👌🏽💕

[caria]

didn't expect to see a parrot today! I am so impressed you are able to switch up your routine for these videos.

[tonydeluna]

You are one of my favorite YouTubers when it comes to reading and writing books. You are so inspirational!

[KMort]

As a night owl, I would literally never do these challenges cause the only author I knew was a night owl was Kafka😂
This one does sound quite like my own, though.

[sovaylove]

night creatures are delighted! thank you <3

[landritabertyiski]

Yeay you finally did Brandon Sanderson's writing routine!! I'm so happy, I love this so much!! ❤

[pen_journal]

Great share again Christy! Amazing how these writers maintain that intense work ethic in chunks!!!

[morganunraveled]

as a mom, my writing routine is also majorly midday and late night, during a nap time and a bed time, but it is unfortunately and understandably not 8 hours a day, since I am not a bestselling breadwinner ahaha. it is more like 30 minutes at a time until my son wakes back up and I have neglected all my other needs and responsibilities to sneak 2 paragraphs in lol 😅

I was just watching a reading vlog today from katie is reading where she reads the second book of the stormlight archive series. And you came up with his writing routine! What a better coincidence could've been than this!

[mclaineisabellaschwertfege]

I love these videos you do so
As a writer (and mother) trying to figure out the best routine for myself I find this so comforting and wonderful
