I just love watching people document their creative project journeys.Its perfect to listen to while working my own projects.

Writing a book is just like writing a PhD- I get the distractions and the struggle staying on task can be on some days. I had a 🤣 when you dusted the keyboard - been there and done that.

@christy-anne-jones 2 года назад

I've been there many times lol 😅 I'm very easily distracted hahaha

I loved the Very Serious Business gestures when emphasizing “I have to do it… Right Now.” Laughed way too hard at that. BECAUSE, YOU SEE, I GET THIS. IT IS ME.

If you also rinse off the flowerstems when changing the water it helps preserving them a bit longer. Also slightly warmer water helps because it contains less oxygen. 💐

On a certain level, we have a novel in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

I can't explain you how much your vlogs make me feel positive and calm💛💛💛 i desperately wait for Sunday so that you upload something. I love your baking ,you simply sitting in a cafe that is so relaxing. And whenever you talk about mental well-being 💛💛💛 Thank you Christy 🌸

@emilieclaire7981 2 года назад

Quick question as a non-writer : do all novelists write many drafts of their books? Is it possible to just work over the first draft until it becomes the final product? Also, would you be interested in making a video where you explain your entire writing process, from idea conception to publication?

@christy-anne-jones 2 года назад

I think it depends on the person honestly and what their definition of a "draft" is. If you write chapter one, then go back over it, then go back over again it before starting chapter two, you've still *drafted* (or edited and improved upon) that stretch of writing even if you haven't officially renamed your document Draft #2 or Draft #3. The general consensus/advice is that writing is rewriting; and, honestly, with any creative medium, polish and quality generally comes from iteration and refining your work. AND the novel you submit to a publisher, if it gets picked up, will definitely have edits (structural edits, copy edits, possibly sensitivity edits) before it goes into the hands of readers. So, from my understand drafting/editing is an essential process for everyone. But I think some people would definitely draft and refine more than others 😊 hope that all makes sense!

I am always intrigued by hearing about other author's writing process. Thank you for sharing.

@HannahlovesStories 2 года назад

I’ve never written a novel (or even attempted it) but your writing process (starting a new word doc for each draft) is exactly what I did ever time I wrote an essay in uni. This brought back so many memories of writing essays haha! Anyway, I love hearing about your progress and I can’t wait until “Project Teacup” is published!

@bellelang929 2 года назад

Anne Lamott has a great essay about drafting called "Shitty First Drafts" that sounds very much like you'd enjoy, considering your own drafting process as you explain it here!

@gabbylohse2935 Год назад

I love "Shitty First Drafts", I go back it every time I'm in a slump!

@ashcheri680 Год назад

You should totally check out Scrivener! It's a program designed specifically for writing stories and it has tools for all the different steps/info that you need to include for the story. Including drafting the plot (on sticky notes in the program) and separate folders for worldbuilding, characters, etc. So you can just have one document instead of 50 :) Not sponsored, of course, it just changed my life with writing!

@heyart3668 Год назад

Finally a youtube channel that I want to frequently watch. Imagine happy. Watching your videos for days now.

@kimberlymiller566 2 года назад

Love your writing vlogs and looking forward to see more! Also would love if you ever wanted to do more “write with me” videos with music and typing like the one you did in the library, but maybe in different settings (home, cafe, outside). Your content is always so inspiring! 💜

@merilynread4115 4 месяца назад

You are so inspirational! Hard-working, realistic, a novelist on the verge!!!!

@drawrobot 8 месяцев назад

Have you ever used Scrivener? I love it. You can save all your research, notes and draft all in one accessible file. There’s a notecard view where it looks like a beat board. You can save out the draft as a word doc or pdf. The software is relatively cheap and I haven’t had to update or renew it in some time.

@clarejean3309 Год назад

I love the cover! So beautiful! But I get it. I struggle to get up in the morning and write a new chapter on Google docs. I just take the story on my notebook everywhere with me, to my day center and my weekend's career's house. Everywhere.

@bailey_sachs Год назад

could you talk about how your planing process changes with writing a novel vs writing a short story?

@TheNessa284 Год назад

This was so relaxing and comforting to watch. I'm so proud of the progress you have made. I can't wait for the finished product.

Hi Christy! I’m a new subscriber :) Would you mind sharing the app you use for your stickies in the beginning of the video? I literally have done physical boards like the one you showed for video scripting through the years, but now that I work with another science writer, I struggle to find a more visual and non linear (not like Notion and Google Docs) app to collaborate in. Might this be it? 😄 Thank you!

I'm on draft 1 of my first book! I thought it was gonna be a cute 10,000 word novelette but it's looking like more like 3x that. There's already so many issues. I wanna get to draft 2 already but I told myself I'd finish this first. Thanks for encouraging me to finally write something long-form! Poetry books and blog posts for work are cute, but it's time to tell a tale

Interesting stuff. I have a black cardboard poster that I use to put post it notes on. Take a picture and you can use on your iPad. My book is like has been sitting in the naughty corner for like 6 months. I have too many university assignments to complete plus work plus going to the hospital for lecture and role play sessions. What do you use to do your novels on. I use ClickUp for university assignments and I was thinking of using scrivener but it seems like more work than productive

You can, of course! No first draft is ever perfect so don't put pressure on yourself and just write what you want to write ☺️ and then you can edit/do revisions after it's written 😃

@hypatia4754 2 года назад

I don´t know how you can bear to repeat the writing until you get so bored with it you can hardly breathe. When I write a novel I write it once, as if it´s a final draft (no "just get it done and we´ll come back it it later", but "this is the story") and it´s done. And I move onto the next one.

Draft 2 means you start writing the whole thing right from the beginning? You're not editing what you wrote before? Can't understand how this works....

@christy-anne-jones 2 года назад

It's different for every story, but for this one I'm referencing draft one while rewriting completely from scratch 😊 I find this type of iteration to be way better for my creative brain / problem solving. It also means that I'm less stifled and trapped by what I did in my rough draft.

@billyalarie929 Год назад

HOW DO YOU GET TO A POINT of being comfortable with the first draft being shit, so that you CAN get it done more quickly?!?!!?? I’m a Goddamned Perfectionist POS, and so my work never gets done as a result. Tell me how to murder my own ego, is basically what I’m asking.
