how to *NOT* get BORED of your book😌📖 5 tips to stay passionate and excited about your projects 

make your book a place you want to go to! ❤ this was motivating, thank you for the love, ana! P.S.: I was working on our collab when this video popped up! 🤭

Re-reading is a number one for me. I never actually get bored of my stories because I'm such a good storyteller (in a non-cocky way). I say this in the sense that I have such a wild imagination and I know how to make up good stories. My situation is that I get tired of actually writing it. I never get bored of the story itself, I get tired and lose motivation in the process of making it come to life. But when I go back and re-read, I end up falling in love again and that gives me my next dose of energy for the next few chapters. It's so bad that it takes me months to write a few chapters because I get so bored of the writing part. I think the trick to re-reading - whether its because you are bored of your story or tired of writing, is to actually give yourself a break from that story, allow yourself to miss it for a while, then re-read.

I wrote again for the first time in like 4 weeks today, since I got the flu and it lead to writers block. Getting back, I wrote a scene I was struggling with the whole time but I got through it. I can't really tell any1 irl and this community is great so I just wanted to share :)

I just made a wallpaper for my characters aesthetics and it just made me start to love my idea and my characters again. My current WIP is the longest thing I've worked on and it's only been a few months, and sometimes I get tired of it. So then I just take breaks from it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

This helps so much! Usually, I start a new project, write about 5-10 thousand words, get burnt out and then start a new one. Rinse and repeat. I'm excited to apply this knowledge to my new projects! ❤️

Literally right when I was getting bored of my story, you post this. THANK U!😁🤗

Girl????? Your timing is PEREFECT! I NEED this rn 😭😭💖

I am not getting tired of my wip(s) because I love that world I created but I get sometimes frustrated at myself mostly for not being able to tell the story as it flows :')) when I get stuck I usually just switch to drawing my characters.

Omg, this came at just the right time! I just was talking about this in my last video lol. I feel like it’s so easy to bail on a project after spending so much time with it. It doesn’t even matter how much you love writing. Thanks for the very necessary tips! 💕

ana back again to save the day

I'm so in a blah stage rn. My characters are currently in Virginia, a place I grew up visiting. And I struggling to get them through that part and into the next state, a state I've hardly been to but absolutely love. Also, u feel like the way I write (following the characters' lead) too much drama happened too fast. It works great, and it's amazing even in rough draft stages, but I've never had drama like that happen so fast in a project.

Girl, you are my inspiration ❤️ i was writting a story "LIFE OF SOPHIA" this is my first book. wish me luck 🤞❤️ love you

Thank you so much! I’m currently writing a plot for the book I’m making. I don’t have a title for it yet, but its about this girl named amber who has been looking for her missing dad for a couple years. She gets this unknown call saying they know where he is but she first has to complete a scavenger hunt. I’m not gonna go too too far into detail but basically she keeps finding mindless clues (like pieces of clothing that weren’t even her fathers). Anyways, the villain of this book happens to be her best friend. I get so much inspiration from you and I can’t wait to continue my book! So again, thank you!✨

This was very helpful! I was recently thinking of scrapping my story, but I decided to take a small break to read and to do other things. Recently I've been plotting my story out and creating character boards so I can get a sense of my characters! I also recently just found your channel and I has been very helpful!

Tysm for the advice! It's going to help a lot because I often get bored with my story, even though I know so many exciting things are going to happen in it! ^^

Thank you so much, Anna ❤🥰😇 I'ma be thinking of a little makeover of my book series I'm currently on.

You are my favourite authortuber 😍 I always get excited when you post

Thanks for these great tips 😊 what I sometimes do is that I try to build/plot a past event that might have led to to the current situation in my book or a side story that's not gonna be influencing the main story majorly but just a tiny bit. Usually it's not only fun to create new characters that also comply to the rules of the same universe I created but to also find the connection points to the main story :D

OMW right timing ♥️i love you sooo much not in a weird way 😭

i literally just started but just want to say that a huge help for me when writing is music

3rd! also perfect timing 😅

I have sadly lost love for my story. I don't know how to make it fun anymore. I feel distant from it right now. Technically I haven't written much (*cough* it was a paragraph *cough*) . I've had an idea for 3 years, it's been on the concept stage because I'm trying to understand the character’s goal, want, and fear but I keep being undecisive. I make one decision one day, and the next day I change my mind. So far I have two ideas on what the character can want but I doubt that decision. I don’t know how to fix that. How can I enjoy writing when it stresses me out 😅. I feel like I'm putting too much pressure on myself. I really want to write a story for myself. I really needed this video!!!! Thank you!!!!

Reminds me of the time I gave up on a 50k word story. It was so ridiculous and derailed that I felt cringe rereading it. Well ... Some stories are never ment to be written. I actually miss the times I used to listen to some specific songs and think of the characters and scenes.

this was so handy!! i’m so close to finishing my first draft, and had been feeling overwhelmed due to all the things i must do before rewriting it ❤ thanks

I've got the beginning, middle and ending semi finished. But the fantasy side is there, but it's the science part I need to figure out at the end to glue it all together. This is what is stopping me from feeling happy about my books journey. How do I get around this?

I’m working on a story, I’ll see if I can leave it here😅 I’m only 10, so it may sound a little weird😓 (this is my progress, I haven’t finished) Monritrii silently crept out from under the shelter, rain soaking his clothes into a shriveled grey. The storm hadn’t cleared, yet Siyo still resisted in hiding. Her once glimmering eyes had now turned grey too, matching the environment. Her eyelashes glistened from the rain’s droplets, her tears hidden in the soak of her face. Monitrii stared into Siyo’s grieving iris’s, forcing himself to run to her. “Sister,” he shouted. The moment Siyo’s eyes met with her younger brothers’s, her legs seemed to freeze and she had fallen into the rocks and mud. Monitrii screamed in agony when the older children took his arms and dragged him into the town. Siyo had frozen in the rain, huffing and crying, no chance at moving to the far shelter. The rain flooded her ears and the screams of Monitrii seemed to fade out. Monitrii sat emotionless in front of the window. Even the gloomed panes seemed to shake in their frames. He had swept the floor, cleaned the attic, done the dishes. Now he must pray for Siyo’s sake. The older children had returned to their school. Monitrii could only imagine them throwing and kicking Siyo, her nose smothered in her own blood. He had to force a straight face. Tears were unwelcome to the triiocnor region, resulting in torture to death, much like Siyo. Tears were “sickening monsters” in Yordan, their native language, driving the townsfolk mad, causing them to torture and hurt grieving families. Every year, one family is to offer a child as a sacrifice in the crystal lake for revenge on the Yordan gods for tears. Isn’t that enough? The grief only thickens for whichever family is chosen, everyone is convinced that this is only to cause more tears as an excuse to kill. Monitrii suddenly saw Siyo come from the mist and into sight, the older children grasping her arms. Her face was smeared in scratches, yet she hadn’t noticed the smirk on the children’s faces. Monitrii caught eyes with her from the window, acting strange as ever. Just as Siyo was thrown in front of the hut, Monitrii ran out into the harsh rain and dragged her into warmth. The fire in the hut had lit, a light glow reflecting on every splint of wood. “Siyo, I can hear you’re spirit flaming,” admitted Monitrii. Monitrii couldn’t take care of Siyo, and he had to just sit with her in silence. “Monitrii… don’t worry… they won’t take you from me,” whispered Siyo. “The sacrifice ceremony, that’s what you’re saying,” answered Monitrii. Siyo held Monitrii close before the fire. The night soon ventured close, Siyo and Monitrii sitting in silence.😊

Amy tips on typing what iv hand wrote faster omg at this rate it’s gena take me another year to type it all up 😫

Damn! I'm a person who face this thing on every book I write. Thanks ❤

I get bored after 1 sentence, then I quit writing and it's horrible 😭😭

This is something I really really needed

Hey Ana, I just watched your video about making goals for 2023, and could you do a video on writing short stories? because I thought it was a good idea to write one each month but I dont know where to start :P thank youuu

Whenever I try to play my story in my head, I get frustrated if I can’t creat a bit cuz like it only exists cuz I created it so why can’t I recreate it

The only way I don't get bored of my books is by watching ur videos or listening to ur podcast (LOL)

Rereading my work gives me anxiety :)) but I need to proofread my upcoming standalone novel I will self-publish this year and damn. I am procrastinating :))

I think I may have imposter syndrome 😅 there is this one book I have been writing on and off for years and I’ll get around thirty chapters in and I’ll just look at it and be like this whole think is crap I need to rewrite it again. And I’ve don’t it so many times that I honestly never want to write anything again 😅 but I absolutely love the world and the characters and the actual plot of the book that I created but I don’t know. It’s like around thirty chapters my mind just melts and I can’t continue but the book isn’t anywhere near finished finished 😅😭😭

I'm kinda getting bored because the middle of my book is kinda boring, the end is where the real stuff happens my idea is this group of nocturnal creatures take over the world and kill everything and everyone that is out at night one of my mcs is super bubbly and the other is the exact opposite and they find each other in the middle of this apolcalypse of the night creatures i rlly need some motivation to keep going 😭

my problem is that i created all the playlists and by the time i'm actually writing the first draft and not just outlining i'm tired of the songs

omg hello i adore u
