"Please don't watch my old videos." But... what if we already have, being here since the start? LOL Happy 10 years, Kat! Your videos always cheer me up, especially these writing vlogs.
Congrats on ten years! I've been following you for more than five of those ten years. You, Jessie, and Christine were my first BookTubers and you're still my faves :-)
Ah, congrats on hitting 50k! I'm planning on doing NaNo this year, but my idea is still in the very very early stages of planning, so we'll see how that goes. Good luck with the rest of your writing!
Ooh, I’m so excited for writing topic of the week videos! 😄 Something I’d love to hear your thoughts on is character motivations. It’s fun to come up with new characters and give them personality traits but I find it difficult to give them an interesting drive/ambition. Congrats on 50K by the way, it’s a great milestone! 🥳
I did this for the first time last month, and it is NOT easy to do. I came across your channel looking for outline options and your 3/9/27 structure is absolutely a godsend. I love your content, even though it seems you haven't posted in a while. Hope you are doing well, and I look forward to watching any future content. :) Happy Writing!
50k hell yeah! And ten years on TH-cam Ohmygod. Congrats! And three consistent videos yay! And more writing weekly vlogs with writing topics sounds helpful! I’d love to see you talk about info pacing. Like info dumping in slow action or lots of action with lots of information they cant know possibly know yet, that kind of thing. I think I’m going nanowrimo but I’m still not sure. I have joined a 21 day poetry writing challenge though so!
Congratulations on hitting 50k! 😊🎉 Suddenly very tempted to participate in nanowrimo this year despite it being three days away and having no formal plans to do so 🥴
AH SO MUCH CELEBRATING! 50K AND your 10 year NaNo TH-cam-iversary!! HUZZAH! AMAZING! CONGRATS! I'm so proud of you and so excited for your book and more videos and your enthusiasm and happiness and all that jazz EEEEEEEE! VERY pumped to hear your sit-down writing discussion videos! Particularly the fanfic one (lol) just cuz fanfic has been something I've been into since my (pre)teen years before and when discovered I was a closeted youth and you finding discovering and loving it has been so cool to see! As for video topics, I know you've previously discussed maybe talking about different story structures (like 2 Act or 4 Act maybe?) and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that, particularly if you've read anything from international friends or academic educator type people regarding non-Western formats. (I realize that might make you uncomfy since its a bit out of your lane, hence the suggestion of international friends and/or academic educator type peeps) Wow sorry this comment has been WAY too long as per usual from me lol but continuing to send you all the love and hugs and good vibes (if you want them) and looking forward to more!!!!
Happy 10 years! I've been watching since 2013 when I was a senior in high school and it's still amazing when I see a notification that you uploaded! Love from Paraguay 💖💖
I wasn't sure about doing nanowrimo, but you got me inspired! And I started "practicing" in October, being amazed at how much I could write. Now I'm super excited!
When Kat talks about doing youtube for ten years but you realized you've been watching her for the last ten years *spider man pointing at himself meme*
your videos have inspired me to try nano just one more time, I havent written more than 200 words in a wip in like 3 years, so if i get more than 10k ill be happy lol i have half of a novel outlined with your 27 chapter method(:
Huuuge congrats on hitting 50k! It’s incredibly exciting and you should be soo proud!! Besides, I’m very excited for those writing tips kinds of videos. I love those! They’re extremely interesting even though I don’t write😅
in your "my experience writing fanfics" video, i'd love it if you could talk about your thoughts on how fanfiction/its authors are being integrated into more mainstream media? and by that i mean how former fanfic author are now new york times bestselling authors of their own original series - ie marissa meyer, tamsyn muir, etc - and how many former fanfics - ie fifty shades of grey, after, etc - are now new york times bestsellers? because as someone who does still actively write fanfiction and is planning on making it into a career, i'm always interested to hear the thoughts of someone else who writes both original works and fanfiction as well!
ooh this is a good discussion point! my basic opinion is that I LOVE IT. two of my FAVORITE fic authors had novels sort of "break out" and get popular this year and i am THRILLED XD i honestly think it would shock most people to know how many trad pub authors either started in fic or are currently writing fic under a pseudonym because it's WAY MORE than they'd assume.
Incredible, 50k in 19 days is bonkers. I would love your thoughts on imposter syndrome in writing. I've been noticing it popping up for me while I write.
if you mean the overall wordcount goal tracker, that's under the "project" menu. there's a selection that says "show project targets" (though i use an older version of scrivener, so i'm not sure if that's different in the current version!) and if you mean the chapter progress charts, i tweeted about how to do that here: twitter.com/kat_tastic/status/1044974376456577025 (again, i use older version of scrivener, so not sure if still accurate!)
Congrats for the 50k! I have a question. Where I can find de chart in scrivener? I want to see how many words per chapter I have written and I am getting crazy looking for it. Thanks
i tweeted instructions for that here: twitter.com/kat_tastic/status/1044974376456577025 (HOWEVER i use an older version of scrivener and i've heard the current version is different!) you also have to have word count targets for each chapter for this to work the way i show it (in my version of scrivener there's a circular target on the bottom right side of the page that you click to set these goals)
I’m always so happy when you post. Love your videos, Kat! 🥰 For a video topic suggestion, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you write original LGBT+ characters. I’m apart of the community, but I think your input would fantastic. ALSO, CONGRATS ON 50K!
anyone else think kate tastic's goals would have been looked at as kinda revoluntionary in the 90s ... oh TH-cam your so standards and competitive . lol keep up the good work kate your eyes still captivate me . sigh
Me, too! I spent my vacation week secluded in my sister's barn. I wrote 49,000 words in 7 1/2 days. First Draft done! Now, the 6 rounds of edits.
ooh nice!! good luck w all the edits! XD
"Please don't watch my old videos." But... what if we already have, being here since the start? LOL Happy 10 years, Kat! Your videos always cheer me up, especially these writing vlogs.
i love these writing vlogs so much! i don’t write but since i love reading i find the process super interesting
You've come so far in terms of your confidence and ability to push forward in your drafts! So inspiring, Kat!
Congrats on ten years! I've been following you for more than five of those ten years. You, Jessie, and Christine were my first BookTubers and you're still my faves :-)

thank you!!
Omg! Congratulations!!! I'm kind of stuck at 80% and I hope I'll get to it soon! I really hope I finish it😬😬
i'd love a video on genres and how to pinpoint the genre of your novel
ooh that'd be a good topic, especially because i tend to blend genres which is where it gets a little tricky XD
Congrats on 50k!!
🕯 already manifesting the fanfic sit-down talk 🕯
thank you!! and i'm sure that one will happen sooner rather than later XD

Incredible, 50k in 19 days is bonkers. I would love your thoughts on imposter syndrome in writing. I've been noticing it popping up for me while I write.
I would love to read a book written by you.
I would love to see videos on how-to revise/edit.
good suggestion, adding it to my list!
I wanted to do nano but it starts tomorrow and I don’t have anything planned and no ideas. Oh well
Ohh how do I get the visual chapter target thingy you showed on screen? That is so cool!
Also, congrats on hitting 50k!!!
