plot my book with me (it’s extremely chaotic) | writing vlog #5 

If you’d like to receive updates on my debut novel once it’s complete, you can sign up for my newsletter here: www.ginakimauthor.com

“i fck around and i find out” is so real. i also RARELY plan anything when i write lol

plotting chaos is soooo real omg. somehow this is still more coherent and organized than when i wake up in cold sweats at 3am to write ideas into my notes app, crusty eyed and half asleep. i wish you the best of luck on your book !!

2:50 this kind of really helped me. i always want to write stuff i like but feel like no one else will. but it’ll be ok as long as i like it.

“my brain is being tickled right now” my new favorite saying 😂.

I used to hate planning but i came to enjoy it, especially when i set up questions for myself it kind of opens everything up This was really fun! Excited for more videos like this

She’s a vibe. Plotting a book feels better when you have a direction

I LOVE THE CHAOS

you are definitely the funniest person on writertube

Certified pantser here🙋 and I'm outlining for the first time in my life and I'm loving it. I just ignored the advice of every video I've watched on outlining and did my own thing😀. It's been working so well so far. Good luck on your journey to outlining.

Hello! 👋🏾 Fellow writer here (TV: "Station 19"; Graphic Novels: "Blade Runner: Origins). I am very often in a similar boat. And youre doing great. Creating those really dope moments as "fixed points" that need to happen and then building to it while writing is how I mold everything. I even outline my books backwards to make sure those emotional moments hit harder. I can't wait to read it!

"I got denteion once for failing to many math tests" Mood (i love this as someone who loves the witting process but not planning this helped me.)

As a pantser, I also need some sort of timeline so I can fuck around those events. That kinda sounds weird but I can't think of a better phrase. I use the 7 point structure for plot and 3 act, 9 block, 27 chapters for loose character development and some plot. It's still a big mess but it helps me with making sense of everything. Also, this was the funniest plotting video I've watched and it's been years.

The way you help yourself helps me too LMAO i love this📈

Go Gina! Excited to see more of your story unfold :)

“Today I have some sticky notes, a Marker, and a fucking dream.” Is so real

As a plotter type of writer I can say that this was surely something. Yeah something.

the censored post it’s 😍😍😍 ALSO U GOT THIS QUEEN UR BOOK WILL SLAY

So happy to have found this channel. And to know there's someone as nuts as me about writing. I hope to see her in a best-seller list soon.

I'ts nice to see your journey through the gruesome and messy process of writing. Although I started out of order, I'm loving this.!!

girl you're so electric, im in love

I relate to that feeling of wanting writing to feel therapeutic and fun, and it used to be at some point, but now it just feels hard or worse tedious. Once i wrap up my school stuff i plan on fully re-immersing myself in my writing and trying to get back into feeling like a writer again. As a pancer i relate to your struggles a lot and might to something similar to the post it note method to find some direction in my plot. PS: I'd be so interested in doing beta reading for you in the future!

The way you explain makes me want to read it so badly 🥲

As a planster, this is how chaotic I am when I try to make sense out of a story ha ha! Glad to see you figuring out the basic points 💙💙💙💙

As a gold star Panser, I feel like it's a right of passage for us to realise we need to actually get organised 😂 super relatable, I now have like two folders of notes and theory crafting

You keep writing Gina. I am writing my plans for my novel too...

Your voice is so calming ampnd I love it

It's so cool seeing the process, will need to read the book as soon as it is out!

Cordial but still not vibing (me in social settings) 😂

lol im not even a writer but this was fun 😂

This was beyond fascinating. I need the book asap.

Never underestimate the rubber duck method when trying to get yourself unstuck! Good luck with your writing! :) This was super inspiring to try to finish my own outline.

glad to see that u figured out the plot xD just gonna say i am extremely intrigued and always down to beta read >:3

thnx for showing me a new form of chaos, as a true fck around and find out person this is a new path to try :))

i would definitely love to read it!

I feel like I'm watching myself do this for the first time. The sheer amount of things that happened in this video that also happened to me is so funny it's scary. "Who's texting me?" is one of my favorite parts simply because I have the same problem. Getting distracted is such a time sink it's painful. I also love the ah-ha moments happening in real time. 10/10. Would watch again. Wouldn't understand, but would watch.

what a trip! i loved every second of this crazy spiral - and makes me feel not so bad about my own spirals 😅

Current mood right now 🤣

It is impossible to experience this video without smiling.

detention for failing too many math tests?? that's wild. Like why would they think detention would be a good response to that? so punitive

I'm also plotting a book (and doing a LOT of world building as it's a fantasy) and I'm coming to believe that if the process isn't chaotic you're doing it wrong.

3:00 the book I’m currently working on has this, the hook and the inciting incident happen in the first chapter 😅

I would love to be your betareader! Love the chaos in this vid ❤

this was such a joy to watch

Why do so many people talk about chaos? It was so organised, or maybe just my brain, see it this way. Is it strange that I felt like I knew what she meant with the vague explanatory notes? Or maybe my imagination just collected the breadcrumbs and created a story out of them on its own. Thank you for the video. It gave me motivation and a new way to try again to outline mine own story.

instant within the first 10 seconds. subscribed

I genuinely cannot conceptualized the mind of a panser, I plan stories more than I write them 😅 But i can't never finish any of them so maybe i should try pansing. How does one even go about this method?

mood

1:45 ZING!

First lemme tell you… you are huhlarious… your f-bombs you dropped throughout your video made me bust out laughing and I had to sub-in… second I was lead to your video and low and behold… I found myself having the same issue the first act. I wanted my first chapter to have the most dramatic scene to pull my audience in but decided to place it the end for a cliff hanger into my next book. 😮 I feel like I messed around and confused myself 😂😂😂😂😂 but watching your video helped me figure out act 1. All them f-bombs helped 😂😂😂… good luck with your writing. Thank you for sharing.

Fr darling, fr

I would love to be your beta reader❤

youre so funny

2 sentence and 5 time f*ck 😮

If you ever need beta readers I want it known that I'm always available 😅

Is it ok to drop the f bomb only 3 seconds into the video? I thought utube didnt monetize that

I completely understand this process!!!! Thank you for sharing.

Found your channel from this video and subscribed as soon as I heard "what fishing was to me during quarantine". I need to know more. What a HOOK 🪝
