Starting a new story isn't even real for me until I watch those two katytastic videos for ideas and outlining

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

🙌🙌🙌 YES

@ShannonLeighMusic Год назад

Same, those videos have been a lifesaver for my writing process!

@panagiotachasan9935 Год назад

Ooh its my first time hearing of those, what are the titles to those videos? Xx

Something about the lighting in this video is quite ethereal. It's cute!

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

thank you 😂❤️

@anna-maria1412 Год назад

Let me just say: I'm do glad (and obsessed with) you still having a very similar editing style compared to 2015/16 ish and I've missed watching your videos so much. 😄❤️

@madponcho Год назад

I have so many ideas for an entire book verse that intertwines the story lines and leads to a huge book or trilogy that ties everything together. This task seems so daunting as a novice book writer. I’ve decided to write a book that focuses on a war general who is wounded in battle and finds himself in this mysterious village in the center of a forest. He meets the village’s healer and she nurses him back to health. He is in the village for almost a year. The healer and general fall in love, but he has to leave to go back to the war. And then other things happen that bring the two back together. This is book that I have been wanting to currently write. It would most likely be a stand alone fantasy novel but who knows

I actually recently self published a book, I’d been working with my book for five years and it finally came into the picture. I tried everything to include on my novel and it’d been a great experience. It was some what of an unreal journey. Thanks for being an inspiration! I’ve watched you since I was a young girl in middle school. Keep being who you are Christine! Can’t wait to read your book!

@kryskestrel Год назад

So excited to see my question make it in there, thanks Christine! I’m definitely familiar with Kat, been loving the both of you for years!! I’ll have to rewatch her videos on brainstorming and the 3 act/27 chapter outlining method for sure - I’m finally finished with my degree and want to get back into writing, wish me luck!!

@cathyenfield Год назад

Thank you so much for making this video 🤍 I needed to hear all of that, it was really reassuring 🥺 I'm always so inspired by your work, excitement and honesty, thank you for sharing it with us 💕

@MichaelaWagner Год назад

I LOVE your videos, you're literally the reason i got back into reading in 2015, i LOVe your film/tv reviews, and I'll ALWAYS keep coming back whenever you post, HOWEVER!!!... I will never be disappointed if you ever decide to step back from the video making to focus on writing! Careers evolve! and i love your eye for video editing, but i also love your stories! and writing is so demanding, you wont let us down! but for now I'm happy we have both ahahah

@chrislowe2343 Год назад

finally! I’ve been waiting for this video Christine!!! 🥹

@KaiInMotion Год назад

LOL the way I was about to comment like imagine being friends with Kat but not using her ingenious outline structure and the second I was thinking it you started preaching to the choir. I love that with that formula each plot beat can be a single scene or a chapter or two or three chapters, it feels so flexible and applicable to every genre without ever feeling stale. Saved my ass a few times!

@ermwrites Год назад

Ahh thank you for your answer, Christine!! I’m currently on draft 5 and I can definitely feel I’m approaching the “I don’t know what to do with this anymore” stage. I just wanted to let you know I can’t wait for your next book! I’m a big fan of your first two and can’t wait to see what’s next 😁

@eliteforce7729 Год назад

Hi, it is like 2am right now but I just had to say I just finished reading you first book Again But Better and I loved it. I am struggling a bit with what I want to do after high school and connected a lot with Shane. I love this book and it helped me feel better about my future and feel more confident in myself (I also have never had a boyfriend like Shane in the begining of the book and I am going to be 18 soon). So I am going to take things slow and work hard in college. So thank you for this great book and I hope you have a great day 😊

@ayahsaheb9029 Год назад

You gave such good advice in this video! I feel inspired to ponder previous ideas so I can come to the story I truly want to tell. I wasn’t able to submit a question (life has been so busy), but I found a lot of relevant questions to my own here! Also, you look really cute in this video! I really like how you’ve been doing your makeup recently! 🫶🏻

@captsamsung Год назад

One of my writing projects I've been working on (I've since paused it and am now working on another). I definitely based my main male character on a man that I knew and worked with because I had a big fat crush on him and it was a way for me to get over him. Thankfully i haven't seen or heard from him for about 5 years or so, so no awkward moments for me! Though once I go through revisions, I may go through having him as the love interest instead of being the antagonist. 😂😂

@Allymai_ Год назад

Poor middle book child. I can totally see why you had the problems you had and how tricky it must have been (and must be) to navigate that situation. It's quite a unique situation, so there isn't really a blueprint you can follow and I imagine it's a lot of trial and error which must be frustrating. I believe in you, and I'm sure you'll get there, even if it takes a misstep or two to find the right path. ❤

Christine could you one day make a video with writing advice on how to create likeable characters? I'm having a hard time creating characters that people absolutely love. My male character has been called arrogant, liar and jealous, he is all of those things but I have no ideia how to also make him likeable!🤣

@@onarosebeam About my female main character I absolutely love that she's a dancer and that she loves her sister. About my male main character I love his friendship with his best friend and I just noticed there's nothing else about him that I like, maybe that's the problem 🤔

@onarosebeam Год назад

@@anaclarafreitas8974 that might be it! You have to love your characters (or at least be able to find what’s lovable about them lol) if you want others to love them. But if you know, then all you have to do is commit and they will find their fans!
