I wrote an epic fantasy novel in 24 days 

Wow!!! I'm so proud of you!!! It's kind of scary to know there's people that can write a novel in a month, but also inspiring. I already knew part of the story since I've been watching your videos but one thing I didn't know is that this journey started with N.K Jemisin's worldbuilding method and this piece of information is like god sent, because I'm planning to outline a new novel and I was struggling with the worldbuilding part, so I'll look more into this method! Thank you!

I'm back everyone!! Did a little experimenting with the editing on this one. Let me know what you think :)

Holy cow what an incredible journey! This is EXTREMELY inspirational and motivating. I never heard of NK Jemisin's world-building method. I'll have to check that out. I also appreciate you sharing the struggles related to stress and the balance between creativity and rest, and something many can relate to. It's great to see how you tackled such instances head-on and used them as a stepping stone. Kudos on completing your novel! I know I'm 4 months late but still, this is impressive!

I work 2 jobs so it’s hard to find time right now , but I’m gonna push myself to write on Fridays ( I’m always off on Friday ) and when I have my weekend off . Great to watch your vlogs, I’m still thinking about how to outline and I think that I’ll use the Save the Cat book to do so . Gotta start somewhere right ? Thx again for your vids

Please never delete any of your videos. They are so amazing and so motivating.

First let me say brava with the editing. It was well executed and tied in the month long journey brilliantly. I was engaged from start to finish. And again congrats on finishing your first draft.🎉🎉 And i must say I adore the name Naaj. Sounds so interesting. And your doggo is so cute. Love to see him more in videos hehe. What's the pupper's name? And yes remember to rest, very important. ❤. Ok as always thanks for the amazing video. See you in the next one.😊

Where can I find Jemison's guide? I'm trying to write magic (but more like magic realism) using the power of nature as magic -- not spells and wizards. Not sure where to turn.

Rest is good? 'Maybe' that lesson will stick for good? Why 'maybe' here? :P If the new editing is fun and easy (also known as restful) for you, that's what matters most, meaning that's what materializes everything. haha I love how early you wake up and write so much first thing. Do you wake with sunrise or before it or what? And when you say things like "I wrote X scenes by 10:30am" and call it a day, do you mean you don't write later in the day after that? Consistency is one of the most-advocated things when it comes to writing, by effectively every full-time author. Writing even a paragraph a day, despite how much we don't want to on some days, gets those books done after so many days. You've got that going steadily, though seemingly a bit hard on yourself in the process. haha You know how sometimes things (completely unrelated to writing) goes really easy, and sometimes not? That's obviously no different for writing either. Framing things like 'I didn't do X well today/write lots today' as if that's a 'problem' instead of a natural ebb and flow of life could very well be the biggest factor anyone has when it comes to stress... ever. What better way to stress oneself out than to think if things are tough, that there's something wrong with oneself, that there's something 'even more' needs fixing on top of the thing we're already trying to get done? Consistency means every 'high and low' is persisted through, and naturally this comes with 'aaaahhh' moments, but I hope you ease off on yourself for thinking you have problems when it's not going well. Going slow, hitting walls, crashing into things, is still going. And you are definitely going!

Great video! It's inspiring you're being so honest about the difficulties! I hope you had a good break😊

Keep up the good work, John!

Super looking forward to the video and laughing a little because this is a very similar title to my most recent vlog! 😂 Took me 38 days though. :D

It would take me two months, so I'm really impressed

Nice job, man!

What books/sites did you use to inform yourself?

Can you share the documents of the planing you used in that journey?

Pretty cool vídeo ❤

1:15 This flowchart looks interesting for brainstorming. Do you have a link?

You are very underrated but maybe a better Microphone could be better once you can afford it all the editing is really good the word choice is great overall, and a 7 or 8/10

Very nice :)

Took me around a month to write a novel then said "nah its garbage." And left it

I didn't know resting "Who Farted?" face was a thing.
