a week in my life: camp nano edition Friends, this was a doozy of a video to film, edit, and finally get exported 😵💫 but, as a fan of longer vlogs myself, i hope you enjoy (: I wouldn't say i failed, per say, but i definitely learned how to pivot to set myself up for success the rest of the month. I do these writing challenges less so for progress on words (although that's always nice) but mor...

loved this!! and love that you're breaking out of you're reading comfort zone - I also get into a darker book rut and it definitely changes my mood!! and im cracking up at you forgetting biblioteca 😂😂
I'm also reading: Wild Love by Elsie Silver right now which is romance! I've been needing a switch up lately!
I’m currently ready the housemaids secret by Freida McFadden which is okay! But I just finished when in Rome by Sarah Adam’s and that was a really fun easy romance! 💕
Book rec: All of Us Villians! It is a world with filled with magic and the deadly competition to be able to keep it. It is a duology but one of my underrated favs! Lighthearted romance/drama would be XOXO by Axie Oh. Flew through it in a day.
Yes!!! I love anything by C.L. Herman and All of Us Villains was such a great collaboration
yesss, fellow puerto rican writer!! our poor eternal spanglish struggle 😂
it's always a freaking struggle!
@@beccatobar my brain panics and doesn’t know which one to turn to first, drives me nuts
Ahhh I'm in a time crunch with uni deadlines, but im craving reading Twilight😂 i just want something silly & nostalgic, but i dont have any time 😅 living vicariously through this vlog😁 for book recs, sorry I dont have any romance but here are some of my general faves! Dread Nation & Deathless Divide is a duology - zombie apocalypse in alternate history, it was so cool & unique, and i loved the MC, a badass with a sense of humor, also anything by Becky Chambers, the Hunger Games still holds up, & I loved Pet & Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi, and The Honeys by Ryan La Sala was my fave book of the year when I read it!
rereading it has been so. much. fun! i think because i went into it knowing i just wanted a silly fun time, i'm just having a great time rereading it. and for me, as long as a book is FUN to read, that's mostly what matters. now i'm like "ok i want to read midnight sun and then new moon" but i think i'll stop there. and thank you for the recommendations!! i'm definitely going to add Dread Nation & Deathless Divide to the TBR. that sounds right up my alley. thank you so much for taking some time from your uni deadlines to watch the video! <3
I love Beach Read! I hope you enjoy it, can’t wait to hear what you think about it ❤ loved this video!
i'm literally vibrating bc i want to read it so bad but i'm definitely enjoying the twilight reread. now i'm like "ok what other romances can i dip my toes into" 😂 thanks Ari! i still need to watch your latest vlog, too!
@@beccatobar I have so many recommendations if you want them 😂 you'll have to let me know how you liked it!
me: ah I gotta write today *_Becca drops a new video_* me: I gotta watch a video _and then_ write
awww jasmine!! sending you all the good vibes as you write today 💌☕🎧💻 I just wrapped up my morning writing session (:
Yippe another video! 🥰😋
Excited to find your channel and these writing vlogs. So fun!
aww so happy to have you here! welcome to the family (:
enjoying the replay! ✨thanks friends
i'm actually fangirling omg anna i love your channel🥹
@@beccatobar aw thank you so much! 🥹 I'll hopefully see you guys at the next one!
Watching your vlogs while working on my draft >>> 🥹🫶🏾 Also, your WIP idea sounds soooo interesting! I can't wait for you to share some snippets or a title reveal 👀🩷
Malayka, you are too sweet -- thank you so much! also i love that you watch my vlogs while you work on your draft. we're like coworking buddies (:
I'm so glad I found your channel! You're really motivating me to keep working on my draft, I love to have your vlogs on while I write. Your story sounds so interesting and I'm super impressed by how many words you've written so far!
oh wow, i think that's the nicest comment i've ever gotten.🥹 i'm rooting for you and your project!
becca your book sounds so good!!! 100% understand not thinking you have the craftsmanship for an idea. i feel like the world i created for my story is way too vast and complex for my skillset. but! we can do this 😤 + i loved watching my brother play kingdom hearts, it was such a fun game!!
Thank you so much!! and i get it. but i know we have way more talent than we give ourselves credit for. i know we can BOTH write these stories (: practice makes perfect~
Keep it going girl!!! I'm the same way, sometimes I need to dress up and feel cute (even when I'm home alone) just to get things done!
yes! sometimes it's the smallest things that help us feel more put together and energize us <3
I just started writing a book and I just started my yt channel its nice to see other people on the same journey
woohoo! i'm so happy to see you're starting your writing/yt journey! there's such a wonderful community of writers on here and all of them are going to cheer you on. can't wait to see more from you (:
@@beccatobar awww thanks for the support
The way you described Kingdom Hearts is how I feel about the Zelda series. It's fundamental part of my being and my values. Also, not sure if this will help, but as a reader, if I find a character hard to like because of their personality, if another character points it out, then I'm okay, knowing that it's on purpose for the story. :)
YES! omg zelda is another incredible game. i just got my husband to start the Breath of the Wild game last year and it's been so nice to have something to bond over. It's crazy how the smallest things can have some of the biggest impacts on our character (: and thank you for sharing that re: characters. It's nice to hear how other readers interpret books/scenes/characters
This month, my best writing has happened outside. I walk down to the lake (middle of city) and sit under a tree and write. My best day was over 2700 words 😳 but I haven't managed to replicate it yet.
ok that sounds amazing~ theres a beautiful park across the street from me that i'm dying to go write at but the head and humidity is just too much. but congrats on all your writing progress! i'm rooting for you! hopefully you get the chance to replicate that soon (:
@@beccatobar yah, it's been mid-30s with the humidex but I take a drink with ice and sit under a tree, enjoying the wind, and get it done. I don't tolerate heat well so I'm careful. I'm off to see what can be done now, even though there's a heat warning. 😳
Your book concept sounds super compelling! I'm interested in reading it when it's out.
thank you 🥹
Great vlog. A day without Evangelion is like a day without sunshine BUT watching too much will make your own writing take a turn for the weird.
i just started it! i think i only watched one episode so maybe that's a good thing then lol i can't binge shows anymore like i used to! thanks for watching (:
loved watching this! there’s absolutely no shame is adjusting and making those word count goals work for you! 50k is a HUGE feat - you got this 🎉 also lolllllled at the full face of 2016 makeup
your video actually inspired me to take a step back and figure out how to create a writing routine for myself. i pretty much know what it is, but i realized i've never been intentional about it. first it was about making sure i set aside time during the day to write, but now i want to make sure it's something i really truly look forward to (: oh yeah, i don't think i ever left 2016 tbh 😂
FULL FACE OF 2016 MAKEUP!! I literally laughed out loud 😂😂 I have loved so so so much getting to know you and getting to chat about our passion projects! Your story is going to be so amazing when it reaches its final form and it’s high time to start saying it with your whole chest! Proud of you, bestie! ❤️
CODYYYY~ thank you so much (: your support has meant everything to me!!
just found your channel and had to say hi! i'm currently trying to get back into writing during camp nano and have been watching your videos while drafting. i will definitely try and make it for one of the next live streams. hope your camp nano is going well so far!
Hey Becca! ❤Could you talk a little bit more about how you turned your iPad into a freewrite? Did you end up deleting any apps or turning off notifications to keep it completely distraction-free? I always think about turning my wifi off so that I'm not tempted to just scroll on social media, but then I can't have Spotify, and I prefer writing with music. 🙃
yes! I was also considering making a video about this, so if you're interested in that, let me know! one of the biggest changes/most helpful changes i did was add the accessibility button to my command center to be able to toggle the color on/off. keeping the screen black and white has really helped me. i put my do not disturb on and just write so i haven't had to delete any apps! i also put my phone out of sight so i'm not tempted to pick it up. sometimes i'll leave it in a completely different room. I also prefer writing with some sort of music but usually without lyrics, so i just put on a lofi or classical playlist from spotify and let it run its course so i'm not worried about having to pick another song or shuffle through a play list. does that help?
Thanks for the super definition of a zero draft.
Do you stream on TH-cam?
yes i do! you can check the live tab on my channel to see upcoming/past livestreams (:
Very cozy vlog ^^ You are super pretty! Subscribed because of the vibes ~ I love you have a writing habit, I think it’s very inspiring
AW thank you so much ! <3
Congrats
congratulations on graduating! I find writing on my ipad super helpful -- good luck on your nano goals 😄 and so excited for your live stream!
It's really useful and encouraging to watch someone else's process. I write so much more when using a notebook and pen as opposed to laptop because I can carry it everywhere and write a paragraph here and there in the "in between" moments. Then do the first edits as I type up later. All the best with your novel and love love love the idea of a writing livestream!
i’m outlining for the first time as well and I both am loving and hating the process!!
Seriously! Like, i know it’s going to help me in the long run, but right now i am pulling it my hair lol
Welcome back Becca! 🩷 Congrats on graduating and the makeshift Freewrite (we love a tech-savvy girlie 🥰). Take all the time you need with uploads and updates - I love your vlogs and I'd hate if they were stressing you out! 🫶🏽
Oh my god that is so sweet of you !! Your comment just made my day 🥹🥹 thank you so much.
Say debut novel with more confidence!!!!!! sooo smart for turning your ipad into a freewrite that is just so cool
You are so right lol i need to own it more. Thanks for watching <3
Slay bestie! So excited for this redraft! As someone going through the same struggle, just know all the prep you’re doing is going to make your story that much better! Can’t wait until we can host another stream together! ❤️
Love this vlog! I got the alphasmart on ebay a few years back, but nowadays I only use my laptop. I can't wait to watch your nanowrimo vlogs ❤
Yes! I got the alpha smart too but another reason why I think those writing devices dont’ work for me is because I’ve just gotten so used to scrivener and having all my notes and documents for my story actually in my draft file. I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog (:
I got a keyboard case for my tablet for a trip a few months ago and I have loved it recently for writing. It's harder for me to be distracted on it since my headphones are usually connected to my phone already and thats an extra step. Plus I write in microsoft word/office365 in the dark theme so it's easier to focus on the writing. Congrats on your graduations!
Yes! I have been loving using my iPad for writing. I’m finding it’s definitely helping with my concentration. And writing in dark mode is the best - so much easier on the eyes lol
Hello from a fellow thriller author in Chicago! Love this channel
Hello hello! 🤍
Hi! 👋 New to your channel, tuning in from SoCal. Appreciate all you said, so inspiring! I don’t read a lot of horror, but when I do it’s usually the campy variety, like Grady Hendrix.
Hi Susie, thanks so much for watching and happy to have you here! Yeah, Grady is definitely one of my favorites. I just finished my third book of his, The Southern Bookclubs guide to slaying vampires. I really enjoyed it!
I agree, starting a just-for-fun writing project when you're in the middle of a stressful period is such a great way to relax and take some pressure off of yourself!
Great video but the music was really distracting for my neurodivergent brain 😉
thank you for the feedback! i won't be doing it again lol
Trash draft 😂
The aesthetic, the vibe, the coffee 🥹 That's the perfect writing setup for me ❤
The southern guide book is SO good!
This is my 3rd Grady Hendrix book and I love it!! He’s one of my favorite authors
Thank you for sharing ❤
this whole video was soo soothing and i loved watching how you set up scrivener - congrats on finishing the draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (also stealing all your amazing scrivener ideas - mine looks SO bland compared to yours lol)
Thank you 🥹 please, steal all my ideas lmao that’s why I love sharing 🤍🤍
Hi! I’m starting a writing journal company! I would love to send you one, do you have P.O. Box or address I can ship it to? Thx🫶
