My sister reached 50,000 on the eighteenth. She's getting faster every year. Meanwhile, I write about a paragraph a year.... :\

@UglyGirlReactsto 5 лет назад

CinnamonTrees how long has your sister been writing

@kittyunicorn5473 3 года назад

Sounds like a good paragraph-

@jazyglaneglory2846 3 года назад

Your sisters imaginations MUST BE CRAAAAZYYY

Congrats on finishing! I had forgotten I was making a brief appearance in this video.

@Kristina 10 лет назад

Hhhaaha you were pivotal in this month's NaNo process!

@YinYangPH 6 лет назад

Just wonderful, been searching for "how write book" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yonallie Bookworm Blitzer - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got cool success with it.

Watching this while procrastinating on my book. I NEED TO WRITE BUT I CANT UGH

@katozrippla1497 6 лет назад

How the hell am I going to be able to write a whole book in 50,000 words? Just one scene of dialogue and book searching between three characters was 8,000 words long...

@thesmileshow9651 5 лет назад

Lol. Are you one of those people who overwrite? xD I couldn't ever hope to write that many in just two or three chapters. It takes me forever to get the words out onto the page. :P

@candiedbooks 3 месяца назад

I know I'm 5 years late on this comment, but I'll say this in case anyone needs to hear it now: NaNoWriMo doesn't require your novel to _only_ be 50,000 words, it's just the goal to get to 50,000 words in one month.

@faelwynsilverwing5522 10 лет назад

I loved this video! This year was INTENSE for me. I wrote over 100,000 words. I'm STILL beat from it!

@homefreylf 10 лет назад

This video is so inspirational, and I'm bookmarking it so I can re-watch it when I'm struggling to write in the future.

@Kristina 10 лет назад

Thanks!! :)

@bricesimoens869 9 лет назад

writing 3 novels at the moment. pretty darn small though :( first one done at 20,000+ words 140 pages not edited yet. second one half way at 13,000+ 85 pages hoping for 30,000 words. third one just recently started 5 chapters a few pages into it. just hoping that size wont matter but the story does. ill just see what happens :)

@eduardobaiz9931 6 лет назад

Jared Lilley I like it. Seems interensting!

@carrieloman6489 5 лет назад

Ooo those are great achievements! What are your novels about if I may ask?

@LocalAdventurerTravel 10 лет назад

you are craaaazy! one year we'll try this.

@Kristina 10 лет назад

I am so on board to be your coach! :)

@elizziebooks 10 лет назад

awesome seeing your progress! :]

@Kristina 10 лет назад

Thank you! :)

@myshadowsblacks7411 8 лет назад

+Kristina Horner hello!, :) how about Cover Book?... you can make amazing Cover Book?...

@tick-tackgirl335 7 лет назад

better bunnies' If you keep at it, then you will finish it in no time. l have been trying to get my book published for almost 5 years l believe. Just keep at it.

@salixuu 7 лет назад

been writing one book for a few months only finished a few chapters and realized I didn't like it. .-. so I'm starting a new book which will be uploaded on my wattpad I'm hoping to write faster but I'm currently procrastinating on youtube

@tiffanyislessbored 10 лет назад

What a roller coaster! At first I didn't think you were going to make it, but then you caught up, but then you stopped writing, I thought all hope was lost until the end when you pulled though and finished! I actually fist pumped when you got to 50,000 hahaha!

@ALynnBassett 7 лет назад

Your progress is cool. Inspiration and creativity is a big part of writing. But sucking it up and writing it anyway, is also vital. It took me getting up at 5am before my kids woke up, sitting next to a space heater in our unheated house, and writing whether I felt like it or not. So you are awesome!

@JoMakerOfMovies 10 лет назад

Kristina, I absolutely LOVE seeing how you feel along the way! Your ups and downs and all! It makes me feel so much better about maybe missing my target or writing frantically for a few hours, so thank you for firstly introducing me to NaNoWriMo and then inspiring me to keep on writing!

@IrisGlowingBlue 8 лет назад

It' sday 27 for me right now and MAN am I feeling those "plot isn't where it should be and why are characters" blues. The going back to look for something worthwhile idea actually did help, though. Thank you Past Kristina.

@biancajody 7 лет назад

Since I didn't want to put a current project on hold to do Nanowrimo I think I'm just going to do it in January.

@niche0boven 10 лет назад

I can't quite believe you get this much written with trips and events like this. I'd never be able to finish. Congrats!

@femmechientv 8 лет назад

It may be more than two years ago but I loved watching this! I'm doing NaNoWriMo in June and I'm also vlogging it, I'm excited!

@connorraine261 8 лет назад

You mean the Camp NaNoWriMo in July?

@FlyingTurtletastic 3 года назад

this is great and nostalgic to watch

@creationsnook6260 2 года назад

I wish I could see you compete again. I've been rewatching your videos for inspiration. I hope your book collection is going good.

@emmar.6821 10 лет назад

I know that feeling for day 26! Your big milestones words are always insignificant linking words that don't have a lot of value!

@sophielanemusic 10 лет назад

Aww, I really like this!

@fouadnoor5762 8 лет назад

This was actually amazing. You managed to inspire me to start my own vlog as I write my book haha. Thanks.

@shanisokay 10 лет назад

great job kristina, just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to actually do it for the first time this year! It actually helped me pick my major!

@bettyreads222 10 лет назад

This video is always super inspiring in that you have your highs and lows and manage to get it done every time. You go girl!

@Kristina 10 лет назад

Thank you! I'm glad you guys like these videos!

@firewordsparkler 10 лет назад

Congrats! I wish I could do NaNoWriMo, but I'm actually planning on doing the equivalent in July or August, when I can devote ALL my time to do it. I feel like November is already an insane month for me, but hopefully I'll do it next year :)

@Avatargeek23 9 лет назад

I am in the middle of writing my first novel lol. Its been two months and I have only written 5,407 words. lmao! Epic failure!

@snake323bytes323 9 лет назад

it's 5,407 words that you didnt have before though c:

@Avatargeek23 9 лет назад

joyce davidson Haha! I guess you're right. lmao

@BeyondSorrowYYY 9 лет назад

+D_Lambily How is your Novel doing? =)

@Avatargeek23 9 лет назад

BeyondSorrowYYY Moving along slowly :/ but I have made great progress since posting this comment. I made it to chapter 7 in my novel! 22,708 words! :) Thanks for asking!

@snake323bytes323 9 лет назад

D_Lambily Congratulations :D keep going, you can do it man.

@NeonVlogFreak 10 лет назад

I won for the first time this year! *Virtual high fives all around for all participants*

@writingfanfictionprobably7356 5 лет назад

I'm now rewriting/editing my book. It's around 200 pages, 49 chapters, and around 50,000+ words.

@dwood2001 10 лет назад

Congrats again Kristina! Eight years is very impressive. You'll have to do something super special for year ten.

@Kristina 10 лет назад

That's what I was thinking. Maybe I'll get a tattoo, haha.

@terralynn9 10 лет назад

Congratulations!! This was my 4th year, and the first year I didn't (really) win. I rebelled and wrote two novellas because I got so disillusioned with my novel. I did reach 50,000 though, so there's that.

@priscillagorham1748 9 лет назад

This was extremely encouraging! I have this planned for January and I am feeling more confident about it now! :)

@myidiosyncrasy 10 лет назад

It's really great to see the month long process laid out like this. To see the ups and downs of what you're feeling as you hit or miss word counts. Wonderful job. Congrats on all the writing!

@Soraverse 10 лет назад

Congratulations! I was really worried this year about not being able to complete NaNoWriMo as well, but I managed it a day early and I'm super proud of everyone who participates. Good job!

@kaylaann93 10 лет назад

This totally makes up for your lack of updates throughout the month. Good work on finishing. :)

@Kristina 10 лет назад

Glad to hear that. :D

@evenstar196 10 лет назад

This is such a great video! THanks for uploading this, you're a fab youtuber and I've been watching for years :) congratulations on being awesome and finishing your novel! :)

@devineverett5116 10 лет назад

This year was my first attempt (and later victory) at NaNoWriMo, so I understand what you went through. It's tough but to ally rewarding. Congrats on doing it 8 years in a row, that's bananas.

@ShopDog-Garage 10 лет назад

I am so happy you made it again!

@hannahdavenport3341 Год назад

I rewatch all your Nano videos every year!

@PlaidBunni 10 лет назад

Yay Kristina!! I had to quit like a week into it because I was just so gosh darn busy that I couldn't focus long enough to write. I worked most days of the week which didn't give me enough energy in a day to write. I'm bummed that I couldn' do it this year but I know it was the right thing to do. Maybe next year.

@alyssasmall7453 10 лет назад

Your day 27: That anxiety and cynicism you talk about, that's where I still am. It's so hard to produce something when you don't even know if you're going to keep it, if it's even going to have a home in my story in the end. That roadblock is so hard to pass.

@mskillzeee 10 лет назад

You inspire me to actually try NaNoWriMo next year no matter how busy I may be at that point of time. Awesome job!

@hopelesslynerdy 10 лет назад

Congratulations! I've watched your videos for years and always wanted to do NaNoWriMo, but I "never had time" =P This year, I planned for it well in advance and won my first year! Thank you for inspiring me and many other people to do this awesome project, watching this video made me want to go through the whole crazy thing again!

@Kristina 10 лет назад

That's so fantastic! Congrats for finally taking the plunge and SUCCEEDING! :D

@LaurenMorley 10 лет назад

Congratulations, Kristina! I still haven't mustered up the courage to do NaNoWriMo even once, and that fact that you've done it EIGHT TIMES is just astounding! I'm so inspired =)

@Kristina 10 лет назад

I believe in you, you should give it a try some year. :)

@LaurenMorley 10 лет назад

Thanks! I definitely will someday.

@BlamingNargles 10 лет назад

I tried to make a video like this, this year because I loved your one from last year but I kept forgetting to film....so annoying! But I finished my forth NaNo in a row! I am only four years behind you Kristina! Haha thanks for introducing me to NaNo you are my inspiration! :)

@MollyChristine23 7 лет назад

These are my favorite videos.. not sure why, but I really enjoy them.

@ceilidancr 10 лет назад

Congrats on finishing Kristina! I tried Nanowrimo for the first time this year after hearing so much about it in your videos, and I'm really glad I did. I only got to about 17,500 words (it was a pretty difficult month for a lot of reasons) but I plan to try again next year!

@MrSignalPlus 10 лет назад

I spent lots of time planning my novel out this year ... when Nano came round, I got no words done .. maybe next year

@FuzzzyPurplePickle 10 лет назад

Wooo congrats! This was my first NaNo year and I won with 50,228 words which I'm really proud of. It was super fun!

@KristaH225 10 лет назад

I so enjoy sharing your journey. You did a great job of staying on target. Well done!

@hudson5742 6 лет назад

Wait at 6:14 is that A Series Of Unfortunate Events. THATS AWESOME also congratulations on finishing your novel I am also planning to be an author one day and seeing people’s books being finished brings me hope that one day my books will be on store shelves

@elisenotelsie1 9 лет назад

I did NaNoWriMo YWP this year and finished yesterday with 30,000 words. I'm soooooo excited.

@janineh5988 10 лет назад

I'm normally a silent viewer, but it saddens me to see such a drop in views and comments lately so I think I'm going to make the effort to comment on videos by some of my favourite creators! I honestly have no idea how you've done NaNoWriMo eight times. I've had plenty of ideas but cannot fathom how to even begin getting them down on paper. Congratulations!

@0southpaw6 10 лет назад

I love these videos. It always helps with my own writing. I can't wait for this year's montage of your nanowrimo!!!

@MrThepatrickshow 10 лет назад

It'll be nice to have this video to come back to in the future for my own memories. I followed you pretty closely, on twitter, in your videos, and at Nanowrimo for your word count as I struggled to get my own word count to the finish line. Thanks for inspiring me to do it at all. It was a great experience. :)

@gabriellamargarita1696 10 лет назад

Congratulations on the win! :) I won NaNo for my very first time this year.

@lukegrove3282 4 года назад

wow. welldone! your dedication is amazing

@SarahPiperNZ 10 лет назад

Well done on finishing! This was an awesome look into the progress and it's nice to know that if you are determined enough, no matter what other life events are going on, it is possible to do it. I've wanted to try for a good few years now but always manage to have some plans which will make it "impossible" to get it all done, maybe next year then... :)

@petergulgowski 7 лет назад

This video inspired me a year ago when I saw it! Didn't do NaNoWriMo, but overall just in my own writing, it portrayed a very realistic view of a writer's life!

@joywestkaemper8745 10 лет назад

I love your process videos! They always make me miss NaNoWriMo

@Croupier 10 лет назад

Well done, Kristina. I'm proud of you. Watching this video gives me inspiration to write my novel in 30 days. I registered at Nanowrimo and I'm ready for 2014!

@emmeline-tyler 10 лет назад

Congrats! Thanks to you I did nanowrimo last year. I did it again this year so I think now I will do it every year!

@stargonz 10 лет назад

Thanks Christina you totally inspired me to definitely do managerial next year it despite how scared I am. And congrats on 8

@alexisbrantley87 3 года назад

@Laurahmartens 10 лет назад

@alexishope3552 10 лет назад

Congrats on winning! This year was my third year doing NaNo, and I finally won!! I was insanely happy the rest of the day after hitting 50k x3

@zoewood1810 10 лет назад

These are my favourite Kristina videos :))

@ljmastertroll 10 лет назад

You always make it through the apology days and finish strong. Congratulations!

@jkittycat102 10 лет назад

Your videos haven't been showing up in my subscription box (/list?) and this makes me very sad. But congratulations on another win! This video so accurately reflects the ups and downs of NaNoWriMo, and I think I've finally gotten used to you saying "NaNoReMo"!

@fancynancyketchup 10 лет назад

KATYTASTIC WAS BESIDE YOU IN THE NIGHT OF WRITING DANGEROUSLY. YOU COULD HAVE PANNED OVER TO YOUR LEFT TO SEE. AAAAAAHHH! It's okay. I know in my heart she was there...

@Kristina 10 лет назад

We were hanging out all night! She's great!

@williamfoss6115 10 лет назад

Awesome, another year completed :)

@TwinkTwinkle 10 лет назад

I checked on your wordcount a couple times, and your and mine where so close all the time! I also ended with just a little over 50,000 words and it was just hectic this month. I really loved this video, the night of writing dangerously looked awesome. (You guys should read her blog about it, it's super awesome!)

@fizzbangwhizzpop 10 лет назад

Well done Kristina! I'm tempted to do this next year now even though i'm no writer. Would just be interesting to see if i'm capable of this while doing uni work....

@leyo6056 8 лет назад

This video inspired me. Thanks Ms. Kristina. I'm going to join in this year's NaNoWriMo! :)

@Ajthewriter 6 лет назад

I love this. Definitely motivated me to keep going today

@FlareonAndPizza 10 лет назад

Well done Kristina, You did great! Thank-you for being the inspiration that made me attempt NaNoWriMo this year - even though I didn't succeed it was still a lot of fun and I'm glad to have taken part. You're great & a huge inspiration! /)-(\ x

@Kristina 10 лет назад

I'm so glad to hear that! Congrats on even trying and you've totally got this next year.

@FlareonAndPizza 10 лет назад

Haha hopefully ^-^ I was doing well until the stress made me anxiety/depression get all rubbish:/ But thanks I hope so!x

@DeepFizzyPurple 10 лет назад

@blaykewolf 3 года назад

Me watching this video in 2021, because am writing my own story and wanting to do a nanowrimo once : why are you not wearing mask in a airport ? ooh but it was in 2013, covid-19 wasn't even an idea.... I just loved this little vlog, so cute !!

@youngsir.tc_GW_VS 8 лет назад

now subbing... this truly gave my competitve side a challenge i do 8 pages per day but i definitly need to count my words

@DancingIsFlying 10 лет назад

Congratulations!!!

@MagicCatJenny 10 лет назад

I've done (and won) NaNoWriMo twice but I did not do it this year. This video has inspired me to really consider doing it next year...if you can do it with all that traveling I don't know if I can use my full time job as an excuse anymore...haha

@kasperc3007 9 лет назад

UGh! I'm so sad I didn't get to finish NaNoWriMo last year!! My internet got cut out halfway through, and my novel was on GoogleDocs! Here's hoping I can actually do it 2015!

@glassXmoon 9 лет назад

Going off topic here, our usernames are slightly similar.

@kasperc3007 9 лет назад

Haha! Indeed! I don't suppose your actual name is Kasper is it? Cause mine is XD

@glassXmoon 9 лет назад

Nooo you lucky person! I wish mine was. xD * secretly changes real name to kaspurr *

@kasperc3007 9 лет назад

Haha XD I'm one of the few I guess

@uploadingjess 10 лет назад

Wow, what an accomplishment! I could really never see myself doing this, so I'm very impressed ;)

@realar 10 лет назад

Ugh, I envy your flow, my book I was working on this last NaNo only went to 47 pages. I lost steam, my numbers suffered greatly. I ended with 28,194 words.

@affenonkel 10 лет назад

Congrats Kristina! :)

@roxyrose1700 10 лет назад

I really really want to do this. Great video! :D

@Emlinian 10 лет назад

Congratulations! It was my first win for a 50000 goal, you somehow did way better than me despite everything you were doing as I only had 2 days on/above target - the first and the last XD
