I'm a writer. This channel's for me to document my process on writing books and living my not-so-exciting life, so if you're looking for someone with an insane amount of experience and tips and tricks for becoming a successful author--
you've come to the right place!
But not really. I'm just me and we're gonna ride this thing out for as long as we can.
Great video! By the way, to create that extra space above title headings: select the heading > home > popout paragraph > spacing > before > enter number (300 is about half way down the page). Make sure to insert a page break above it.
I just finished the book, and it's wonderful! You are a very gifted writer, and the story is excellent! I want to write more, but I'm still digesting some of the ideas you posed, and it will take me a while to sort out my thoughts and feelings. And how nice it is to feel something again after completing a book! I've been on a roll of mildly entertaining novels that hardly make an emotional dent. However, I have a pit in my stomach from your story, and that is indeed meant as the highest compliment! Great job! I already have your other books and will be going through them soon. Btw, I went to HS with your Mom, and I will be dropping her a line shortly as to what an amazingly talented daughter she has. Wishing you all the best...thanks for the fantastic story.
WYNTER, this was so helpful!!! I hate hate hate formatting with everything in me, but this walkthrough gave me so much confidence and your chill instructions are helping me keep my cool. I took notes the whole time and I know I'll be rewatching to reference back. Thank you!!
By far I have watched so many videos on formatting.... And you have made this so simple and easy to follow I sincerely THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!! SUBSCRIBED & notification is on for ALL videos.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have been doing this for a very long time, and every time, even if I make notes, I always get hung up on Headers and Footers, with one side or the other, or page numbering, goes totally out of whack. This even was happening to me, at the beginning, when I was using templates made by CreateSpace (no longer around and as bought by KDP) which if I added a section break, to the template, everything would be screwed up. It is frustrating, takes a while, but eventually you learn the quirks. I have always wondered why Word was designed to make this process so difficult.
you are such a relatable writer omg HAHAH CONGRATS ON FINISHING!! right now, im 25k in on my first ever draft for a book (i've done some other writing endeavors but the concept of writing a big ol' novel has always scared me) and i think watching these types of videos are very encouraging! <3
Hi! There is some strong language and mentions of suicide; the main characters are ghosts so death in general is a main theme, but no explicit/violent images are described.
Hey! I just found your channel today. Loved this video and the indept explenation of your novel, but I have a question. What do you mean with contractions? @15:19 (I'm from the Netherlands, and I'm fairly sure there is a different meaning for this word as to how we use it here.)
Hi! Contractions are when you combine two words like "is not" into "isn't". (But also when someone is in labor, they have contractions when the baby is coming, haha)
Wow how interesting! I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks for sharing your thought process about various interesting things from the book! Super exciting!
omg i'm definitely going to get this book when it comes out, it sounds so similar to the paranormal murder mystery i'm writing right now!! not to mention it looks so good
You are incredibly talented... and a trailer too!! I can't do half the stuff you do for your books. I'm glad I've subscribed to you so I won't miss a thing.
Congratulations on the book! RU-vid's algorithm served me this video last night and I have already binged many of your videos. You have such lovely energy and your excitement is contagious. I also greatly admire your attention to detail with your book. I can tell just how much thought and care went into this and it's truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
you know so much more than me about editing and publishing, that I really appreciate your advice. Plus, I love your sense of humour. Lovely person. Thank you.
Hey, congrats on the book. It looks amazing. I'm still working on mine, but pushing through. Can't wait to see the finished product. Also, what font did you use for this book? Cheers
Congrats! 🎉 When designing it's good to use Pantone colors system. It's helps when printing to get closer the original colors. As for the front page titles in special font, it would print less pixalrated if you add it as a saved image. P. S. I fomate few books for someone I knew. On the process I learned those things. Good luck! 👍💖
This was a pheroputic video to watch. Im in the process of doing a second edit on one of four drafts I've written. Im currently editing and reading out the chapters on video. I like the bit about ground rules, thats going to be the next step. One bit of criticism was your hurry to print off your manuscript to early.
3 years later and i just want to say you are 100% the greatest walkthrough. Your honesty, dry humor, and step by step guide is a life saver!! Thank you!!
God. Bless. You! I am in development on forming my own novel, and I was going into further development on creating the book format while doing the draft. I was stuck. Badly. So I found your video, saw the tabs that I needed the most (for now) and it was like the stress left me. You broke it down so easily and simple, and I’m highly grateful for it. I’m so using this video when my novel is ready for self publishing. Thank you so much ❤
