making pintrist boards if one of my favorite past times

@kv2661 Год назад

I’ve re-listened to the pride month episode of your podcast so many times already! I loved the guest you had on it was so much fun

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

yay i’m so happy to hear that!! Tiernan’s the best! 🤗🖤

@helenarosno Год назад

these vlogs are so inspiring. idk how you maintain your motivation, but listening to your achievements always give me a little boost

@alexisstiles9215 10 месяцев назад

I’ve been binging your writing vlogs all weekend and it makes me happy. ❤ keep it up queen!

@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm Год назад

I totally get what you’re saying about being in the moment during events - I always try to take at LEAST one picture so I remember SOMETHING with my little goldfish brain

@mandiross4427 Год назад

Hurry up and put it out I can’t wait to read!

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

THANK YOU!! 🤗

Good job Christine!

@andreakyed4225 Год назад

Writing question: do you ever get tired of the story you’re writing? Especially since you always go back and edit what you’ve already written. (I find myself getting bored with the story before I finish the draft and then I have no motivation to go around for draft 2… Though your videos always help with motivation! Thanks for that ❤)

@lisabetger7636 Год назад

Your writing vids are legit my comfort videos lol. I background-rewatched the entire series over the past 2 weeks 🤣🤣 I don't have any questions, but just want to share, this is a great week, I crossed 60k words on my WIP WITH AN END IN SIGHT and also ahhhh my Taylor show is Friday!!!!!

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

AHHH CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

@moniquebassett7040 Год назад

My Question is if you can give a rundown of your experience querying your books and finding an agent? I'm so excited for more videos!!

@BeckyJeramsOfficial Год назад

Oh my gosh I love your thoughts on passing people being immortalised in your work forever when to them you were just a blip - glad I'm not the only stalky writer who does this 😂😂

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

LOL

@elisabennett8148 Год назад

The writing vlogs are my absolute favorite thing to watch!!!

@Bluffer089 Год назад

The Reynolds Pamphlet! :D The only two Hamilton songs I still listen to this day are Non-Stop and Wait for it.

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

NONSTOP IS JUST SO GOOD =D

@troybolton14 Год назад

for the Q&A: how to do you choose what book idea to work on? i'm having such hard time overthinking marketability, questioning what idea i would have the most fun writing, etc. nothing stands out as the "perfect" idea so i don't know how to choose.

@megan-elizabeth2407 Год назад

Writing q&a: how do you suggest getting into/setting up writing sprints? Anytime i sit down to write ANYTHING i get distracted no matter what i do 😅

@anapriormartin7843 Год назад

Thanks for the recipe!!❤

@kristinagrace5600 Год назад

Question for Q&A: Are there any new genres you'd like to try in future projects? I'm curious to see how you'd tackle fantasy, sci-fi, or mystery 👀

@morgan-nj5lq Год назад

omg I still remember watching your first writing video and the excitement of preordering again but better!!

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

@metalandmagi6486 Год назад

Hi Christine! For your writing Q&A, I'm having a hard time deciding whether to try and self publish my book vs getting up the courage to try to get it published traditionally, especially since I'm worried about editors wanting to remove the things I think are important. How did you decide (or get up the courage) to publish Again But Better knowing that someone might try to change something about the book that you love?

@kryskestrel Год назад

hey there, Christine! I absolutely love these videos, they are such an inspiration to me to write. I had a question for your upcoming Q&A, now that you have written multiple novels, what outlining method do you prefer? I know some stories follow the heroes journey, others follow save the cat, and I was wondering if there was a method or a mix and match of methods that you preferred!

@briellejunee Год назад

We love making Pinterest boards❣️ And woo new writing vlog :)

@acorn_woman Год назад

at the sight of "nonstop" my brain just went "how do you write like you're running out of time?!" Lol

@qlimponx Год назад

Great observations about taking pictures 🤝✨🤔

@gabrieln9145 Год назад

For the Q&A: how do you try to differentiate your characters? I know for Again, But Better a lot of people compared Shane to you and that for Better Together you tried going completely against that, after those two cases how are you making each one different but still a part of yourself?

@bluecat3416 Год назад

Girl I decided to listen to Hamilton back in the day because of you!

@lukestrong244 Год назад

Hey Christine, thank you for making these videos!! they are so inspiring and encouraging to my writing process. I have a question for the QnA: how do you keep your characters and their vibes so consistent. As a panser, I'll start with these grounding stones and connections to the world for my characters, but by the end of what i'm writing they are such different people, which, yay full arc, but how do you weed out what about them should be grown out of and changed through the novel and what is just who they are?? Keep doing what you're doing, can't wait to pre order these books!!!

@patriciapages3839 Год назад

For Q&A: All of your characters (including supporting and side characters) are placed into the Hunger Games. Who's winning?

@kannot1 Год назад

Did you always want to be an author? What was your dream job when you were younger?

@casarive14 Год назад

I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets certain things are self care for me. I really have to make myself make time for reading, and when I do it of course makes me feel so good. A for next time: any updates on that secret writing project from last year? Will we get to know at some point?

@juliannahorvath8943 Год назад

For Q+A What are the Taylor songs of book 3 and 4? Also as a single person I tend to feel lonely after reading a romcom, does this happen to you?

@millemole Год назад

Love these writing vlogs! Does anyone have any other vloggers they recommend who make writing videos?

@blackheartbooks Год назад

Q&A: When you continue writing in the contemporary genre do you ever struggle with feeling like one book is too similar to another or characters?

@lucyjbe Год назад

the himym music is sooooo good

@harrypotteravenclaw Год назад

Wow didn't even notice that ABB has a Beatles reference on the cover

@ellie0109 Год назад

YAS writing while watching these videos is my favorite thing to do

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

@ermwrites Год назад

Here to say I’ve never seen Hamilton so I had no idea what song you were talking about for that one line in your book 😅 Maybe someday I’ll watch it! Also, writing Q: How many drafts does it typically take you until the book is finished? And relatedly, how do you *know* the book is finished? My perfectionist brain wants me to never be done 🥲 so I was just curious how it is for you!

@novaartino2874 Год назад

Hey Christine! I wanted to ask you for your q&a what scenes do you feel need the least revision.

@ellie0109 Год назад

I really want to publish my novel the traditional way, but I don't know how to get started with a publisher and I'm also nervous that some things that I love about my book might have to be taken out. So how did you decide to publish your first book the traditional way and how did you start it? Also, did you have to make major changes to the book that you didn't want to?

@hibaz5157 Год назад

Writing question: which Taylor swift album is book 3 like? And what specific song from that album too?

@theres_no_guarantees Год назад

How do you get motivation to write? I am struggling so much right now... And how do you write scenes that are more character developy rather than action and not make them seem like filler?

@cribbbage06 Год назад

Hey Christine, I’m working on a book and have about 20,000 words so far. When the book is done what is the first step I should take into the possibility of being published? Love your videos and have been watching for almost 10 years!!

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

thank you!!!

@luinil1678 Год назад

How do you start writing ideas that aren’t fully fleshed out? It’s the main struggle I’ve been having with my book. Been a huge fan for many years now. Love you, Christine! ❤️

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

thank you for the question, and THANK YOU

@cindyzhu8935 Год назад

Q & A: it seems in these vlogs that you're a writing machine, working on multiple projects at once. How do you deal with/get through a writers block. Greetings from Beijing!

@BookQueen1 Год назад

Do you have any advice for outlining?:)

@Allymai_ Год назад

If your characters had to make up anonymous screennames, what would they choose?

@adienoss5971 Год назад

hey Christine! So I want to write so badly but I really don’t know how to do like an “outline” to start off a book like I can go through all of the world building and create all the characters but I can’t figure out how to lay out how I want their journey progress if that makes sense… I feel like I don’t have what it takes to be an author because I can’t figure it out So much love xxxx ps… I just got back from my own study abroad in London and I left my copy with my boyfriend because I over packed but I really loved your book so much! I related to Shane so deeply 💗

@randomhandlelol23 Год назад

How did you find an agent/publisher?? (Currently querying for my book right now ☺️☺️)

@kannot1 Год назад

What is your writing starter kit? I'm a bit clumsy and broke my laptop😅 so I would love your recommendation!

@anna-maria1412 Год назад

Omg I loved this ❤ PS.: Christine, what do you think about Twilight having yet another renaissance?! It's been so entertaining for me.

@emmaJS1815 Год назад

Writing Question... I know it took me a really long time to find an outline method that works for me so have you found one and what is your current outline method?

@user-im4ic5ol3o Год назад

Hii! How did you find your agent?

@sadiemarie1055 Год назад

For the Q&A: did you listen to any specific song or album of Taylor Swift’s whilst writing book 3 and 4?

@ChV342 Год назад

Hi Christine! Question: how do you draw the line between taking inspiration from something and copying it? I'm struggling with that as an artist. Thank you for the fun vlogs, I've watched your journey for years and you inspired me a lot along the way!

@kannot1 Год назад

Pablo Picasso is widely quoted as having said that “good artists borrow, great artists steal.”

@mackenziecavender8652 Год назад

I feel motivated to write when ever I finish one of your writing vlogs! 💙As someone who also takes pieces of people they know and incorporates them into characters, does it ever affect how you see them after? Like “I know something you don’t know...”

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

yay!!

@Allymai_ Год назад

Can you tell us anything about Book 3?

@Allymai_ Год назад

If you had to hide a fruit somewhere on Book 3's cover, what fruit would you choose? What about Book 4?

@isabellarose8744 Год назад

What do you do when you’re writing and need to make a new character for a very specific part of the plot and only that one part? So maybe just a side character 😅

@Allymai_ Год назад

If Taylor Swift's albums were people, which album would like your books most? What would each album's favourite book of yours (including your WIPs) be?

@Allymai_ Год назад

(I know we always end up asking about your books in relation to Taylor, so I decided to flip the question, I hope it makes sense 😂.)

@polandbananasBOOKS Год назад

ALLY THIS QUESTION IS AMAZING *APPALUSE EMOJI* THANK YOU
