Honestly I think the Notes app on my phone is the best writing platform, whenever I have a random idea I always write it down there 😂 also you are amazing Ana thanks so much for your writing videos!!
Yess! I use Samsung Notes all the time, it's so useful to me because it feels like it's made for people who like organized messes, which applies to me!
I work with reedsy. It's a mix of scrivener and milanote (but less visual, ie no mindmaps), perfect for organisation, but it also typesets automatically, sorts your chapters and notes and exports to epub and pdf! And it's free. That's a win!
It also has a auto correct feature for multiple languages, and pinnable note. I always pin my time line and plot ideas for a particular chapter next to my writing.
I should learn comment at the end of videos, haha. The reedsy I use is REEDSY EDITOR. you mentioned the prompt one, but reedsy editor is what's like scrivenert/talers 😅 it also tracks your writing, and I copy my word number into nanowrimo to track it and motivate myself! I also drag my Pinterest inspo into the reedsy notes, it automatically uploads them onto your pins. And then of course chat gpt, I often use that to embellish writing, spot and correct mistakes... Sometimes I paste a scene and ask chat gpt to summarize it for my time line, make me a list of all my characters.. Write a description of a characters personality or appearance based on what it's read about them.. It's like consulting an editor or friend ❤
The only problem with reedsy for me is that I can't open it anymore. It'll suddenly start saying 401 error and will never open again, I'm warning you, Mate
AHHH ANA- I'm a huge fan. I never thought to be writing in my teen age. But your work literally inspires me to share my stories. Now I got a bundle of projects just because of you. I share different book edits and I also sometimes share my stories there. Literally I hope your stories reach the ends of the world because you are an angel sent by heaven
Inkarnate is sooo good but I'd also love to suggest Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator! edit: yesterday in the live I was saying how behind I am in NaNo but I'm happy to say my word count is up to where it needs to be now!
Hey bestie!!! Quite new to the channel and so thrilled to be here. Watching you talk about your writing with such passion reignited mine. I've been through some real rough times and just couldn't do anything, literally. After watching you i started writing again and everyday I'm bringing more life to my world and characters and they are slowly giving me my life back. I can't thank you enough, without even knowing you gave me courage and hope. If for some reason you travel to Brazil one day, know you have a bestie here too. i want to thank you by giving you a copy of my book and making you a delicious "feijoada" 😊 Thank you Ana. I really appreciate you. Sorry about the bad english heehee. Wishing all the best to you and loved ones, always 💚💚💚
Hi! I've recently found your channel again and love watching your videos when I want some motivation for writing! Just a question: I want to write (and by that I mean actually finish) my first novel and I want it to be set in the 1900s. Edit: also asking all the authors in the comments :) I think your Project O is a historical novel as well. How much research did you do on it? Do you make some things up? Or generally, how imporant do you think the accuracy of the history/ language/ circumstances actually is? (I obviously did some research but I dont wanna epend half my time writing my researching every little detail) Thank youuu
Uh...I have never done a historical novel. However, I have done mythology-based novels and I say that accuracy does matter because you don't want to be offensive, you know. I say do as much research as you can, look through articles(to hear different perspectives/versions), and take notes. Hope it turns out good!
This is such a great Video! I think Talers is an awesome website and I wish I could use it but everytime I try to sign up it tells me my email is wrong, I can’t even report a problem either because it’s says my email is wrong. So frustrated 😩
the only thing that I haven't heard on here was talers lol. Ig I'm heading in the write direction! (you- you see what i did there??) edit: and also- how do you upload a picture onto talers? I've tried but it's not working!
hi ana~! i love your channel soo much. i haven't been writing for to long but you really got me into the habit! i noticed how you said u like books wth maps. right now, im reading a book called "there will come a darkness" by Katy rose pool. and so far it is SOOO good i recommend you read it ( and everyone else in the comments!!! )🩰✨💕💕💕💕💕💕
You are cheating with all this AI and computer generated help. You don't use your own imagination and you are quite a bit lazy in letting all this AI do the work for you. I would not read any of your books/writings and I won't watch any more of your videos because of this.
How did you use KDP for printing ur manuscript? I really want to do the same thing & have a physical copy but dont want to put it up for publishing just yet (i dont want others to see it or be able to buy it). Does that still work for KDP or did publish it on that site and just have a copy for urself? 🤍
Hi Ana! My name is Jake and I just really wanted to thank you for inspiring me and helping me with my writing. This December I will be started my RU-vid officially after my dad buys me a camera. Right now I am writing finals and after that I will completely focus on my books and making content about my books and other things. So if you could give me some tips about starting a writer tube and helping me grow as my fave writer on RU-vid would be so amazing! Love you loads !! ♡
hi jake! i am so glad my videos are helping you. i CAN'T wait for your youtube channel! welcome to the writing community! i have a couple videos already about content - alike a recent podcast so def check that out! its especially helpful for those just starting out! ♡♡
Your like the only writer who has openly said they like and use Chat GPT. There is a lot of controversy around using AI. In reality people are afraid of the software stealing our jobs. but I don't think it will. Thanks for all the videos!
It's best if we use it as an ally, since AI is an invention we can benefit from as a society, but it's also best to keep limits, and not let it take over most aspects, like I thought about it once, if machines take over everything, then what are we humans going to do?
AI is cheating. You are a phony if you use it. It takes away all the human Art form out of writing. It is like copying a Mona Lisa and then taking credit for it being an original. It's not original, it's stealing someone else's work. It's not fear that this comes from, it's truth. AI is deceit.@@blushouda
The problem with AI is that I have no clue how to use it as a person who's interested in writing. Like I don't need inspiration, I like the difficulty of trying to make a story completely clear. Idk, it's kind of useless to me.
@@multidebbie1 I mainly use chatGBT for specific words that can be difficult to find on google. I don’t want to stop and search for 20 minutes for a verb and lose the time I’ve got to write. It takes less than 30 seconds for it to generate what I need. Like I’m trying to find a word fitting to a character, so I’ll ask it to generate it with the details I want and I can keep going forward.
I am so grateful I found you, you have inspired me to much and helped me to write. Without you, I don't think I would have been brave enough to write my own novel. So thank you so much for that :) I love watching your videos, and every time I see you have posted I get so excited to watch them.
@ana neu : These are some interesting tools that you shared and I'm sure many aspiring writers will find it helpful! Thanks for taking time to share it. I have a question/video suggestion. Do you think you could do a video that details how you designed the cover of your book? Did you design it yourself or did you get someone to help you? Also, for those that may struggle art-wise, what are some ways to get ideas on how to design a book cover? If you could do a video on that in the future, I think it would be really helpful for anyone going the self-publishing route. Thanks again and take care!
Hi Ana! I really wanted to thank you for your content, you’ve helped me in ways I couldn’t imagine, even inspiring me to start my own channel and write far more than I used to. Your work is truly amazing and I’m happy to call myself a fan of Ana Neu. I hope you have a wonderful day 🤍 I’ll make sure to check out the platforms mentioned for my writing which I haven’t used. 🤍🤍
ahh bestie thank you! i am simply just so glad my videos make a difference and inspire writers like you. sometimes when i spend hours filming editing and posting i wonder if it actually reaches people. and these comments help reinforce my passion and hope to help other creatives like me
@@ananeu I’m so happy my comment could encourage you! I mean every word I said. You should have seen my face when I saw you hearted, responded and pinned 😭🫶
I have a question about Talers, will it save to cloud? Like, every change? I have PTSD from Reedsy because it just stopped opening one day and I lost a really good manuscript and weeks of effort.
hi! thank you for this vide, it was super useful! i was wondering if you could do a short video on how to use amazon KDP to get a copy of your manuscript? i've never used KDP so i don't know if its easy or hard but if you could do a tutorial on that then it would be super useful, thanks!
Ana! This was literally so helpful! All ur content is literally amazing and I love it 🤍! I am not thinking about publishing anytime soon but either way this is THE writing video 🤍
Hi Ana! i have a question,So, basically im wiritng a book and what do you reccomend the best page size like an a5 or what? im currently using a5 but books dont normally come in that size right? in google docs after a5 only b4 or b5 and stuff like that is available so i cant make it any smaller than that or what? i cant use a6 or a7 i hope u answer this thank you! u inspired me to write my own book so my question is whats the ideal page size for a book
Hi Ana, You have helped me so much with my writing....I really loved your book ideas.... they literally turned my world from dark to bright because I am going through a tough time and fantasy writing really helps me cope with everything Please can we get a part 3 of book ideas soon?
I know this was year ago and you probably wouldn't read it but THANK YOU FOR TALERS o my god i was looking for exactly this type of program! I'm new in writing and i was using novelist but i couldn't get backup in this app and talers have that and more
