After experimenting to see WHERE I'm most productive last week, I decided it was time to combine ALL THE OPTIONS and attempt a word crawl. The plan: hop locations every 1,000 words written. The result??? Chaos.
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
Have you done an online word crawl? (Like during NaNoWriMo or a livestream hopping event like those hosted by the ‪@StorytellersHearth‬) Have you ever done a physical word crawl?? Hopped between libraries or cafes until you hit a certain word count? IF you haven't, would you ever want to?
Where's your favorite place (outside your home) to write??

So jealous, I want to go to the Nowhere Bookstore, I love Jenny Lawson and think her store sounds so fun.

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

OMG. I cannot believe I didn't realize that it was HER bookshop. I saw your comment and RAN to my computer to look it up. I read (AND ADORED) Furiously Happy, but just assumed she'd recently stopped by and so they had lots of signed copies left. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S HER BOOKSHOP. I'm sure there's a sign somewhere that I missed bahaha. But this just makes even more sense why it's so great!

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

You've truly blown my mind. I'm still sitting here, several minutes later, just staring at the screen, like NOW I MUST GO BACK, KNOWING WHAT I NOW KNOW lolol

@candaceifloyd1820 Год назад

Same! And their book club/subscription is so good.

@teafueledwriter Год назад

Yes, sounds like she's there a good bit too. I know Judy Blume has a bookshop in the Florida keys too. Need to visit all the authors bookshops

@reginaduke7451 Год назад

Ah youth! 😄😄I love the idea of changing locations, but at my age, that means changing chairs or rooms. LOL Leaving the house means being parted from my canines, and the best part of being retired from the day job is hanging out with the puppers. I enjoyed the video so much!! and 4,000 words???? Holy mackerel, you should do this 3 times a week! 💖💖💖

@EmmaBennetAuthor Год назад

I also don’t like to leave the puppies!

@herothebard Год назад

"Zoned way out" is the phrase that came to mind with your every 1000th word. I usually don't set a word goal for when I move but I do usually move around a bit when I am writing out at the library. Go get coffee or a snack when I am tired or hungry, sit down in one of the nearby cafes for a bit. Go look around at the books before finding a new spot to write. Also these videos give me life and joy just feel so much better after watching Kate's videos.

@AdaraWrites Год назад

That was fun! I have 2 novels on the go. For editing novel 1 I work downstairs, and when I'm working on novel 2 I work upstairs. It helps me get in the right headspace, and like you said, refreshes things for me. It's a nice reset.

@mjwrites4942 Год назад

I love going to starbucks to write. I feel as if there's an understanding to bring a computer/tablet to write and not be judged as a hipster. Plus it's like not even ten minutes away from my place. This definitely inspired me to try a writing hop the next time I've got a chance to try it out!

@nildam.bonilla5849 Год назад

Changing locations do sound fun, for me it would mean writing in the car while waiting for my kids a few times a day, but I think it would be fun, but it means I do really need to accumulate all my notes (and extras as I do) on a single notebook because right now I have notes on a small notebook, index cards and a big notebook

@Amy_Mi6 Год назад

Ooo 🤗!! loving the epic "hero's journey-esque" style soundtrack you chose at the beginning 👌 Makes me want stop what I'm doing right now and bang out some words, myself!! 🤠👩‍💻

@missmek1314 Год назад

Okay but TB coming over to lay on Zelda/next to you during that timelapse in the middle was so adorable 🥹

@bodine219 Год назад

I love this concept. It's something I think I'll try, although probably not four locations outside the house. Bedroom, Living room, Basement, maybe 1-2 coffee shops lol.

@themagicalkat Год назад

Love everything about this-- cool locations, epic writing music, you looking stylish in your adorable sweater and jacket, attempted catnappings (alleged), that sleepy pupper face!! definitely stealing this idea

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

BAHAHA THANK YOU! And yessss, let me know how it goes for yoU! :)

@Ericaaaaaaaaaa Год назад

Ohhh, this is so fun! I love that you filmed so much of the different patterns and textures in the floors, walls, and surfaces of all the locations. So cool and satisfying somehow! I enjoyed the cow(?) stickers on the inside of your car door, too. 😂

@tonyaroche7733 Год назад

I love this idea. Maybe something like this can get me motivated to get back to my writing, again.❤

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Yes! It's definitely a momentum builder! Good luck, you've got this, your stories will be happy to welcome you back. :)

@bhsprinkle Год назад

Creative way to make the writing process more fun and energetic. Changing every 1k word would totally mess me up though. Once I get so far in, movement would throw off my flow. I would love to write somewhere besides my desk or bed though. I've always wanted to write at the library or cafe.

@elizapadro3471 Год назад

Videos like this inspire me to write. Thanks! I loved it.

@EBFoster Год назад

word crawl- love it!

@whoknows7531 Год назад

Love this! I'm gonna try it asap.

@spicypumpkins2640 Год назад

This was such a fun vlog and seem really helpful for creativity. Definitely gonna give this a try.

@Kittina2412 Год назад

Very inspiring video! I really could feel how motivated you were. Nice idea, looking forward to doing this in the future :) Love your videos!

@nohea_robertson Год назад

What a fun idea! I have changed locations in my house, but writing in the living room with the hubster is difficult. We end up playing Minecraft! lol

@Von545 Год назад

I've been in a terrible slump the last 2 months but I feel like this would be such a good way to pry myself out of it! Thank you for your hard work, Kate!

@audreydagenais21 Год назад

Hi! I really loved your video! I love changing locations while I'm working on a long project (like writing), but I do it when my motivation lowers instead of after a specific time or word count :)

@chrystalsapphire7438 Год назад

This is brilliant! I so want to do this durning NaNo this year.

@A_Bookish_Obsession Год назад

A new video from Kate? Hell yeah let's go. Oooh I think I might do this. Where every 1k words I change places.

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

DO IT, DO IT!!! Let me know how it goes. :) It was super fun, just don't drink too much coffee at once lolol

@A_Bookish_Obsession Год назад

@@KateCavanaugh I'll try.

@rainyhammer9235 Год назад

I have been doing a word crawl called: word crawl for the motivationally challenged. I have also made a shorter version of that only goes up to 1000 words. I have bene struggling lately to do work on my stories so I might try to do a word crawl in order to get stuff done.

@EmmaBennetAuthor Год назад

I live this but it would drive me crazy!

@viralprimenetwork Год назад

Oh, very inspiring video! I could feel how motivated you are, and loved how you do the writing! Keep doing it. 💕

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Aww, thank you so much! :)

@elizalagonia1049 Год назад

I used to have do an outside of the house writing session once a week, and it was almost alway productive. I haven't found a spot since we moved. Most places around me are extremely crowded or have the music at such a high volume it's distracting. Sometimes it's nice to just get out and see something different.

@elizalagonia1049 Год назад

I started drafting an Age Gap romance in September/October and I'm finally getting to act 3. I stopped drafting for Nano and pregnancy brain kicked in in January and to relieve some self imposed pressure, I made it my solo project for February. I've also edited as I've gone since I've been a headlights writer for this one, and that's new. I like the 3 act structure because I can think in 3s better than 5s for pacing. Oddly though, I do a 5 act structure for my overall series arcs. The flu going around this year is a wopper, and it's not covered in the flu shot.

@jenniferraudenbush4946 Год назад

What a great idea! I might try this. ❤

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

YES JENNIFER!! :)

@stagemomx3 Год назад

@heatherhpogson Год назад

It's been awhile since I actually sat down to write. I've been focusing on my art, but with my new iPad, I can finally move away from my desk to work. Not to mention, my youngest is going to be attending school next year! I'm excited to be able to write in different locations, maybe even film and get back into RU-vid. I just started selling art prints, which is a whole new experience, so one thing at a time! When the kiddos are in school, it will be nice to write without interruption.

@hellothisismo Год назад

Oh, that's a great idea! I wish we had more coffee shops around - tiny tiny town problems.

@fionahowellwrites5302 Год назад

So fun! I wish I could easily do this but in NH it's a bit tricky...have to drive everywhere at least 30min and everything closes so early....

@annahcreates Год назад

Love this idea! I'll probably end up snagging it for my writing time. Question for you though: have you thought about doing a video where you write real time and explain your thoughts while you plot/write? Maybe not a real scene but as an experiment. I think it would be helpful to see the real process of each scene. Anyways, thanks for another great video!

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Ooooh, no, I haven't, but I love this idea! When I stream on Twitch, you can vaguely see my screen, and I sorta talk out some issues here and there, but I've never done something where I showed the process of starting/writing/finishing a scene or workshopping ideas for it when I hit a wall. Hmmm....I'll see what I can do! Thank you! :)

@annahcreates Год назад

@@KateCavanaugh awesome! I'll watch for a video like that but again, it's just an idea so no pressure ☺️

@pucksandpaperbacks Год назад

That bookstore looks beautiful!

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

It's INCREDIBLE. So pretty, so fun, love the collection of books and how they're segmented throughout the store, the book-adjacent items are really clever too. 10/10, will definitely go write there again. :)

@michellemp1626 Год назад

I loved this!!! I would want to try this with reading - maybe change reading locations every 50 pages (I'm not a very fast reader 😉). P.S I loved how you paused to listen to those ladies discussing Legends and Lattes. Haha What did they think of it, just curious? 🙂 It's on my February TBR. Always love your videos!!

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

THEY LOVED IT! Seriously one of my favorite book store phenomenons, when you overhear someone talking about a book you've just finished bahaha. I really, really, really enjoyed it, so I hope you love it too! And doing that for reading sounds like such a fun idea! I'll have to try that next. A page crawl instead. 😂

@4nS0Gaming Год назад

My winter break just started so I'll definitely gotta try this cuz I get 2 full weeks of free time!!! Well, the first week I won't be home but ima still try to write alot!! I hope I can take my laptop..

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Ooooh YAY for winter break! Enjoy your time off. :) And yessss, let me know if you do the word crawl and how it goes!

I have not attempted this at all. I should with my free time on Fridays. ❤ this idea!

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Oooh, you totally should! A Friday word crawl sounds awesome. Maybe I'll have to join you in trying to make it a semi-regular thing. :)

@meghancarlson1360 Год назад

@@KateCavanaugh that sounds wonderful! This Friday would be interesting given I have two appointments and I am going to probably try and do that and film the whole thing. I’ll definitely tag you in the Vlog when it goes up.

Omg as I was watching I was amazed by how much coffee you could have in one day without crashing or reacting somehow to it... and then 😂

@suey-mybrainsapain4783 Год назад

HI Kate, I think the tiredness came from the Pasta for lunch more so than the coffee .. it was a great experiment though. I think maybe a travel experiment Like you travel (either by yourself or with a writing buddy) maybe like small town or a location for maybe a weekend road trip. writing where you stop .... just a suggestion as always Much Luv 💛💛💛

@lizanna6390 Год назад

I love your writers clock. Might be even stranger than the god awful bird clock my ex had. Very pretty but he couldn't remember how to make it not chirp every single hour which was very inconvenient

@lucindaharrison Год назад

Curious what the music was that started playing at the 3:20 mark? I've been toying with writing soundtracks.

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

I think I used "Saving the World" by Aaron Kinney. It's in the RU-vid Music Library for free use! That's awesome you're writing soundtracks! I've always thought that sounded so fun.

@smartfunny15 Год назад

@Bartolottazee Год назад

BIG QUESTION: Seeing the snip it of your scrivener you only have the manuscript on there from what I’m seeing. When you brainstorm ideas, plots, characters and etc where do you put them so it’s not interfering with your manuscript?

@KateCavanaugh Год назад

Yeah, I have them in the "Notes" or "Research" sections usually. That way the words don't count toward the manuscript and they're tucked aside. When you open Scrivener, they have the options for templates already formed, and I think all of the Fiction ones have these extra sections already added.

@ThePieInTheSky26 Год назад

This is going to sound like such a weird complement but your nails/hands look so pretty!! Your nail varnish and rings look great together! 🥰
