It’s insane to think a year ago I watched these kinds of videos all the time and now I’m almost done with the second draft of my 90k word novel and am looking for alpha readers!

When you talked about the endless cycle of pre-writing, I felt that. I’m out here acting like pre-writing is an Olympic sport 😂. This was the kick in the butt I needed! I keep thinking I need all the answers, but I’ll make more progress if I just go ahead and start already.

Just hit the 20K mark on my latest novel and I'm definitely hitting the writing wall. i'm feeling the dread of never making it to my 65-70K goal. (Especially since I'm super close to my midpoint and fear that I'm underwriting my story.) BUT I will celebrate the accomplishment of finishing the first 20K. Celebrate those milestones and keep writing, everyone!

@RibbonVintageGirl 4 года назад

I suffer from anxiety since I was 19 years old and I've been putting my novel on hold due to school but instead writing a French language novella for some of my teachers. My French is intermediate and I had one teacher who told me that my French grammar was "a real shitshow and straight up an embarrassment" on my part but I wrote my first draft and it took me a month to finish it. I am now line editing the novella but when she said to "don't give up," "be kind to Yourself," "make this Your learning book"...essentially that is what I am doing with this novella. I did set up a deadline and that is until March 23 of this year. I nearly cried when she said that because my mental health had always been beating me up to "be perfect or give up because it is trash and that this one professor is correct about me" when my brain tried to convince me, "but it is a learning process." I am still continue to line edit it, anyway. I know it is going to be done so Thank You for Your encouragement 🤗🌹

@SysterYster 4 года назад

This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for. Thank you, Alexa!!! I wrote 60,000 words over the summer, and got stuck. I couldn’t get to the ending, as I have always approached things as a pantser who spends a lot of time pre-writing and world building a pretty large iceberg. But man, I get really stuck trying to create an ending. Now I’m circling back and forth to fill out the middle and write the ending for the first time. You have such a good combination of real talk and encouragement. This video in particular had so many good tools. Thank you for saying that being at 50,000 words means you’re so close. I’m pretty sure I’ll be cutting a least half of what I wrote over the summer, but I’m getting there.

@nikkinewbie6014 Год назад

This video was really helpful! Over the past year and a half, I've been writing only as a hobby/distraction. I was just writing instinctively and following no plot structure. Over the past year, I have written several individual scenes (not necessarily sequentially). I am now taking the time to learn the basics of the craft so that I can get serious about writing an actual full blown story. I've got an idea that I believe will support lots of conflict so now I'm researching plot approaches / models. As far as outlining, I think I'm a hybrid (discovery writer/outliner). Having a little more understanding now, it feels like I need the formal overall structure but then I can weave the specific scenes in by the seat of my pants. I'll be excited to see how much of what I've already written I can edit and keep and how much just outright doesn't fit into my newly created plot. I'm going to try to guard against plotting based on what I've already written. The result might come across as too contrived. I don't know...I'll have to see but I think I'm almost to a comfort level with my basics - enough to start. I learn best by doing so even if I have to backtrack on some things and redo things it will just be part of the learning process. I buy into Alexa's assertions that the important thing is just to start the process, figure out your process as you go along, set a deadline and be consistent. I'm excited to go on this journey! If anyone has suggestions or a similar experience with having put the cart before the horse so to speak, please let me know what you did and how going backwards in your process worked for you. Thanks!

Although, Alexa's videos bring the energy and motivation to keep writing. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

@michaelmacneil2044 2 года назад

First and foremost, I want to say thank you for your videos. At first, all I wanted to do was binge-watch every video before starting my project. Luckily, I would catch on to your mantra-like phrase "Just write." After hammering this into my head, I reached a compromise. When sitting down to start writing, I now only watch one to two of your videos to start incorporating your suggestions. Each day, I learn a few new things and improve my draft exponentially with each attempt. I especially love in this video, your iteration of the draft is not to be perfect really inspired me. In fact, I hit pause and sat down with the intention of finishing a paragraph and ended up writing over 1,000 words. I'll find out in editing if they were shit or not. However, that bridge comes later. I enjoy your tutorials and again want to thank you for your dedication in posting them. So many others just post for a short period and then disappear. Your continuity and diligence, along with the multitude of topics, reassures me that I can trust your advice and follow it. Keep up the great work!

@TheElvenWitch 2 года назад

Omg seriously I Still haven't finished a single book I've started because I get so caught up in planning and world building I confuse myself and have to keep changing things before I get anything written. It's literally easier for me to figure it out as I go along- including character personalities, than to just sit for hours plotting and creating. I don't know why I keep listening to people who swear you HAVE to plot first. As a teen I actually finished stories just pantsing. They were bad and shorter than they should've been. But I had entire first drafts finished. Thank you for validating pantsing. 🙏💜

@highlandwildernessstablean3831 9 месяцев назад

Lol I'm a total pantser. This last book all I had was the mmc and the mfc and knew the situation that brought them together. I couldn't think up a plot. So I started writing. When I came to the dead end, I went for a drive. It's the best way I have found to come up wirh ideas. Boom! It took 9 days to finish 65000 knowing the scenes werent fleshed out. Now first edit has been scary but it's a great fun story and I'm enjoying it so much. I love your channel and come here for ideas. Youre very inspirational! ❤ This was a very helpful video

@sethrity 3 года назад

To piggy back off what she had mentioned about finding time, I tend to keep a notebook on hand at work for sporadic little ideas or things I want to write down. Sometimes I only have a minuet or two to write something and sometimes I write through lunch. Actually I find that I have better ideas and work more diligently on my book when at work lol! Probably because I have less to distract me in terms of entertainment and Id prefer to do almost anything, other than working lol.

@cannedsaladsoup430 2 года назад

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I've been pre-writing for so many years and I kept seeing advice that said being a pantser was a bad thing so I kept trying to force myself to outline the story and get every single detail down. every time i thought i was finished a different question would come and i would delay myself trying to answer it.
