7:14 don't focus on word count, focus on time spent on your writing

oh my gosh about a week ago i got my computer taken away for a few days and i ended up writing all my thoughts on paper 😂 it totally works

Reading like writer is so helpful. I'll usually write down a short review when I'm 25% through the book, then 50%, then 75%, then at the end, the review being over the plot, characters, and writing itself. It helps me recognize what I like and dislike and how I feel about the pacing because I struggle with pacing. That way, I can incorporate that into my own writing. Reflecting on what you read as a writer is so valuable.

as a fanfic writer, i definitely agree with the second tip! reading like a writer is not only fun, but helpful and productive. what i do when reading is mentally or physically note things id fix in the writing, such as typos, confusing strings of words, and awkward stops, and things that inspire me, for example, the main character in the fic im reading being flexible, which gave me the idea to have an ex-gymnast as a main character. i also write like im writing, if that makes sense. instead of just saying 'i 100% agree with tip 2' i try to write in paragraphs when its appropriate, such as now. i also tend to include whats thought of as minor or unimportant details, as those are crucial in writing.

i’m currently writing draft 2 of my book and i’m already at 43k (i just started the book in january) and since i didn’t have an original outline i had to rewrite the wholeeee thing and i’ve gave myself a deadline to finish it by june 30th, and ur videos always give me so much motivation to write!!

[zinashisanecdotes]

I think it’s so impressive how much content you put out on your channel and your podcast and instagram, and your so consistent too. I thought it would be cool if you made a video on how you do this because especially in this day and age the way a lot of authors reach people is through their online presence. And it’s kind of built in as part of the job.

My Tip: Don't shy away from reading craft books! Personally, I love "Story Genius" (Lisa Cron), "Save the Cat! Write a Novel" (Jessica Brody), and "The First 50 Pages" by Jeff Gerke. But remember a key thing with craft books: not everything that is recommended will work for your writing habits/style! But learning new skills and new ways to think about stories can help improve your foundational draft immensely. 💜

Ana ur vids has helped me so much! Ur defo my fav authortuber! <3

[amyhollands]

Hi, Ana! This has honestly really helped. I'm currently writing an Angel/Demon apocalyptic story and have a habit of trying to edit my first drafts while writing them so I'm definitely going to get into the routine of Habit 3. You are my main motivation for writing and I consider you as one of my writing friends that I can always go to when I need help with writing. Also, I loved your eyeliner today! Have a good day :)

[hopestar]

Thank you so much for the tips, you are the reason me and my best friend are writing a book together ❤

[JeLiaMorris]

Your videos are so inspiring ana can't wait till your next post <3

[alexanderr]

ahhh i love this sm!!! def very helpful for me hahaha. keep it up ana ❤

[KrisMF]

I love these tips!!💛 my favourite one over the years has definitely been "reading like a writer" :) annotating stories and studying narrative structure has helped me immensely, but the tip you mentioned about "calling yourself a writer" is honestly underrated! so many writers talk down to themselves when they shouldn't. if writing is meaningful to you, then you *are* a writer :))

[calliperryleslie]

Thank you for these tips. I totally agree and recommend writing on paper especially when writing short forms of writing like poetry or flash to get first drafts done. I also recommend The Great Gatsby to read as a writer if you haven't all ready. As a reader I understand its not the most interesting book available but as a writer I think its a good look in how to craft a story with complexed characters and a unreliable narrator. I think Kris MF also did a video on books that impacted her writing which might be useful for you. :)

[clairisaphoinix]

Yes ! To all of these tips 🙂 especially writing by hand in a notebook it really helps with getting in the flow again and helps with brainstorming. And tracking your writing through time is easier. I experience the same thing with word count during Nanowrimo it actually made me more discouraged to keep up with everyone else. Because actually alot of things goes into writing doing research, brainstorming, different drafts and word count is the last thing to worry about since it changes with editing.

Another tip if you track your writing with using time you can also use a task or to do list to see what you've accomplished during that time. Can

i write more on paper than on pc, since i mainly write in my free time at school where i dont have my laptop w me. i do write on laptop when i need extra planning for a chapter book though

[bambirose]

ana, i just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos 🥺 i’m currently writing my first novel and hoping to get it published (either by self-publishing or with an actual publisher) and your videos have helped me so much to be more confident about my work/have more faith in myself that I can do this 💓 lots of love to you! 🦋✨

[zariyahasan]

Who remembers when she was a rainbow loomer? Her channel is perfect. I love looming and writing so like when i want to loom, I just head to your channels old videos. When I wanna write, I check out ur old videos
