Just wanted to add it would be cool if we had live writing sessions where we can actually talk to each other! Cause it’s so cool that there’s a community of ppl who have the same interests, i feel like that would be so fun

[tiniwhiffles]

one thing everyone needs to remember after watching this video, though, is that writing is meant to be fun. it’s not a chore, and if you don’t feel like doing it you don’t have to. goals and stuff like that for your novel is good, but not if it controls your entire author life and you end up not enjoying it anymore. take breaks when you want to and write when you really want to.

[bluemacaroons]

U make the writing process so much more fun! A lot of writers emphasise pushing forward no matter what, but ur tips help for me the little moments during it so thanks!

This video was extremely helpful for me, especially because I am wrapping up my book The Moons And One World and am going to begin a new writing project in July. After 8 hard months of writing, over 90k words written in my story, over 250 pages long, it’s a bittersweet kind of feeling to end it. Because, no matter how many times I draft my story, I will always know how it will end. Yet, with that saying, I am looking forward to see what the new story’s going to bring :)

All of your tips and tricks were so helpful, but the ones that stood out the most for me was: Not to focus to heavily on word count. I kind of obsessed over the count of words in my story, and while that is good, the overall story matters more. Alongside jotting down sticky notes and planning. I greatly under planned my sci fi book and going into my next book, I will plan much better through your methods.

Non video related but I ❤️ your esthetics and like how you applied your eyeliner. I just could not end my comment without mentioning it!

Thank you Ana, this video was a wonderful way to begin my weekend

[maddieee]

Hi Ana! Tysm for the video! I totally needed this video. I also love your eyeliner today! Thank you so much for the tips. When I read books for school I see it like a movie in my mind and the project is pictures based on that which really helps. I try to write picturesquely which in book that I read seems easy but when I’m writing it, I have the whole idea and scene in my head and find it so hard to portray that where people understand what is in my head. Thesaurus is literally my writing bestie lol so if you are writing for school or for pleasure it helps because I will forget about it while I’m editing.
Ilysm,
Maddie

also for the first tip, you can turn on pageless on google docs by going to file, page setup, and click pageless. it let me write more freely and worry more about the actual writing than the pages and word count :)

[allyb]

i am always amazed by how obvious your tips are but i never even heard about some of these! i watch A LOT of writing related videos, especially on how to write better, more efficient, etc., but most of your tips are really new to me. i feel like even though we´re the same age, you´re much more experienced and i really look up to you and admire your knowledge. more than everything, i am so thankful you´re sharing all this with us. i love you and the community you´ve established!! <3

[AubreyKayLoves]

This helped me me and my bestie are writing a book together with you as inspo

[MrRosebeing]

Write, write like the wind. That's my number one tip for writing faster, or write slowly and write well. You can do as you wish, it's your writing and your comment.

[candicebissessar]

One thing that works for me is playing subs or meditation music WHILE I’m writing. Preferably something with affirmations or brown noise. It really helps me focus. Last time I did it, I wrote 8000 plus words in 4 hours and some change. I would normally get so distracted and discouraged 200 words in.

[tseritykat]

Loving these tips and vibes ✨
Can't wait to try them out for myself, keep up the great work, ana! :D

[MrVlandus]

Thess were good tips. Looking at the amount of work can be daunting. Push on😁

[theparisw]

Thank you so much! I've been needing a video like this <33

[islaross]

You honestly are just so inspiring! Good luck with your writing ♥️♥️

[stargirl]

These are wonderful tips! I especially love the one about putting on your favorite playlist and imagining the scene you want to write. Thanks for this video. It's a true gem. 😀

[Thetopnoobpro]

Another tip is that when your book demands it, describe don’t explain (show don’t tell) for good description


Loved the video thanks Ana .)

[katherinepeterson]

love these tips so much and LOVE YOU ana! i was wondering if you could do another writing vlog :)? i love your writing vlogs soooo much <33

[sparkglitterz]

i just started writing a book but less then a sentence and i just realy love aesthetic vibes so i watch all your writing videos while i write and i made my book aesthetic by changing the font changing th colour of my laptop mouse

[tiniwhiffles]

lmao i definitely need this. i want to write so much stuff but then i get overwhelmed and end up not writing anything at all 😭 happy pride month btw 🏳️‍🌈

[williss]

That's why I'm saving up for a laptop, I've noticed the change of environment can really help relieve the stress or refreshed my mind state.
