It's a writing competition! A (word) battle! The mighty Deadline League facing off against the ferocious Prorcasti-Nation. Y'all, I had SO MUCH FUN this past weekend participating in Capture The Words. It resulted in a very chill 6K words for the weekend and invigorated me to push through a rut. And our team may have even won...👀
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
Does the thrill of competition help or hurt you? Do you prefer competing against yourself (like in Camp NaNoWriMo) or against others? What's your favorite sort of writing group events you've participated in?
L I N K S M E N T I O N E D :
Thank you SO MUCH again to Jess ‪@TheHexedLibrary‬ and ‪@AuthorAnneSophie‬ for organizing this awesome event!

Hey Kate, I just wanted to tell you how much I love watching your videos. They are really helpful and with your help....I started a project and hit 10k yesterday...Thank you❤

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

Aww, thank you so much! And CONGRATS on hitting 10K, that's awesome!!

I didn't do this competition, but I did do nano this time around. I didn't get to my goal, I only wrote around 7k, but I forced myself to write every day and I'm proud of myself for that. Plus 7k added to a draft isn't terrible either. Thanks for always making such great inspiring videos :)

@fardareismai4495 11 месяцев назад

Aww I love this style of video on your channel, the vibes are cozy and it's great for motivation, thank you!

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

Aww yay, I'm so glad! 🩵

I can't stand working with others (That's why "I'm A Writer" ) I don't like classes or completions either.. I found that having many different Fiction Writer craft books is the way to go. None of them has everything you need to know in just one book or class. Many call the same technique or tool different names just to confuse everyone as well. But I'm sure now after about ten years into this I got it down pat. So much to learn it's mind boggling, and it looks easy to a reader when written well, but hard to emulate.

As someone from Belgium seeing you make waffles and drink Chimay makes me so happy :D I hope you enjoyed it. (Also, not a fan of Chimay but my husband really likes it. I'm more into the fruity beers like 'kriek' (cherry beer), they're the only ones I like apart from basic beer like Stella or Jupiler) aaaaaanyway loved the video, loved the vibes, thank you for sharing.

@jess.janisse 11 месяцев назад

Loved this video! Would love more updates on this experiment ❤

@kerstinbromer6399 11 месяцев назад

What a great event! And a great vlog. Thank you for all your content, it's always inspiring me to write, too!

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

Ahhh, that makes me so happy. And thank you for leaving a comment! :)

@lunakenton1722 11 месяцев назад

I love how a 6k weekend is chill for you xD Never heard of the event but it sounds like so much fun! Are there any plans to repeat it?

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

I think they're talking about bringing it back for November/NaNoWriMo, potentially!! I'll be spamming them asking for it lolol. Definitely follow Anne and Jessica (linked in the description), they'll have updates. :)

@SpencerSalt 11 месяцев назад

Your videos have helped me write my first novel. I love going back and re-watching your videos. I really want to start a youtube channel, but I'm nervous of starting. I tried to film a video, but I was super awkward, and not confident like yourself. How do I become confident?

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

If you rewatch my early videos (sort by oldest on the main channel page) you can see that I sound different too!! It's taken a lot of practice. But it's definitely so worth it! I love having a video diary, basically, of my writing journey. It's okay if the first videos don't land exactly how you want, just enjoy experimenting and sharing your story/journey! You'll find your footing soon. :)

@@KateCavanaugh You always make my day when you reply! Thank you so much! I hope your able to get project death published!

@madametrafficjam8347 11 месяцев назад

Hey Kate, do you suppose you would do a video on your editing work flow in Scrivener at some point? Does it differ depending on what draft or what type of changes you intend to make etc.? Would be very interesting to see, maybe for when Cauldrons is ready to be edited?

@nildam.bonilla5849 11 месяцев назад

❤❤ I saw the announcement for the event, but decided not to participate as summer with 3 kids is hard😅 but I am so happy I took time to participate in Camp Nano and even taking 2 days with 0 words I managed to do 5k over my goal and ended up managing 20k for the month🎉. I. So impressed I made it because in April I didn't manage 14k(altho my goal was 10k). I always like to put author tuber videos while working (specially old ones to feel Im writing with friends😅). Big hugs

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

OH HECK YES!!! Way to freaking go!! 20K in a month is PHENOMENAL. :)

@candaceuncontained4455 11 месяцев назад

I'm so intimidated by writing dialogue! It's amazing that you find it so easy to do. Do you have any resources to help out writers specifically with dialogue? I'm worried mine is always boring and stunted.

@saraawynnie 11 месяцев назад

this sounds like so much fun! how can I know when this kind of event is taking place in advance? I always miss them QwQ

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

I DO TOO. I know because I follow Jess and Anne! They have a lot of awesome events (and are friends with people who ALSO create awesome events) so that's how I stay sorta in the loop!

@FreshSalad645 11 месяцев назад

I spent part of my childhood near Chimay. So random 😂 (I would recommend the red Chimay, it's a little fruitier, or the golden one, it feels lighter. Though I personally like mostly the fruit beers like kriek, pecheresse, apple beer, etc.)

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

Oooh okay, I'll be on the lookout!! My partner agrees with you about the red and gold! He said they didn't have any in the store he went to though bahaha.

@FreshSalad645 11 месяцев назад

@@KateCavanaugh It's already amazing that you find them in the US, when I lived in WA over 10 years ago, it was a rarity, but they stepped up their import game. The most insane thing is the price, a Blue Chimay is less than $2 in Belgium !

@TheHexedLibrary 11 месяцев назад

I still need some ice for the BURN of that roasting of our inability to stick to a deadline.

@KateCavanaugh 11 месяцев назад

They were BRUTAL. 🔥

@Kat_Author2021 11 месяцев назад

I wrote about 21k for camp nano… not quite my 30k goal, but I’m still happy. I started an August tracker on the nano site today with a new 30k goal, and I’m at about 1,900 words for it so far. ❤

@Kat_Author2021 11 месяцев назад

Make that 2,245 words for today. ❤🎉 I’m happy you got so much done during this vlog.

@Kat_Author2021 11 месяцев назад

Kate, could we get a copy of the spreadsheet? For experimentation? Lol. 😂
