I've always lowkey hoped you would return to this story and this series is coming out at the perfect time!! Taking serious notes from you before going back for almost a complete rewrite for my wip's draft 2 👀
It’s WILD to see how much this story has changed over the past years. The percolating it did in your head, and the writing you’ve practiced in the meantime, serve it so well!!
GIRL, YOU ARE FEEDING US! WE ARE FEASTING! ALL THESE VIDEOS. WE ARE NOT WORTHY. (sorry for the capslocks, but you're gone two years and suddenly back to back to baaaaaaaaaaaaaack videos????) *bows down* Thank you, Ms. Katytastic for coming back and sharing your writing journey with. Literally THE best content on youtube. 🥰🥰🥰 [PS: Currently in Draft 2 of my own first-ever WIP and your 27 chapter outline revisited video already helped me so much yesterday.]
It's not even Christmas, I'M CRYING!!!!! What's going on. You have no idea how many time I've watched your older videos. These is so helpful, yesterday I started to outline an older story, I'll try to finish today, and I want to 0 draf thanks to you. Thank you!!! I love so much that you are back!!!
I am SO excited to see your writing videos back. I literally yelped and explained how amazing you are to my boyfriend and got him into your writing videos too!!
I loved the concept of this story from the og outline, but this new iteration of it is way more interesting. Switching which one is silly/serious makes them feel much more real, and making Charlie a genius with a decent job puts the sisters on a more even playing field. I feel like also highlights that her main problem is a social/emotional one (loneliness) which I find more interesting/solvable? than money issues (we're looking for a little escapism here lol). Anyway, these videos are super helpful and interesting thank you for making them!
I watched the first and this part three times while working on my uni assignments. It's so inspiring to see you work on the project. Thank you for sharing these videos. I'm excited about the next part.
Kat, THANK YOU so much for this series and for always allowing us into your creative process. Your honesty and explanations are so refreshing and helpful for all us jumping back into writing wagon. Again, much much appreciation. ❤
Teaching us about including a mini-mystery to tease the readers in Act 1 while simultaneously teasing us with that same mystery? Kat, you’re a mastermind 😆
@ absolutely brilliant! I’m plotting my novel at the moment with your method so this is massively helpful! Came across it the day before this series started so the timing is amazing x keep up the amazing work!
At some point during the character brainstorming I started picturing Caryn and Connie as these twins. They’re a duo who does Sims builds here on TH-cam
Do you have a playlist for the other project you walked us through? I can't find the video but I remember watching it. It might have been a livestream though.
hmm not quite sure what project you're referring to, but i did a previous zero draft example for an older version of this story (linked in description) which might be it? though livestream makes me think of the warlock/gladiator story i did in a liveshow in 2013, so it could also be that?
yessss she's definitely an inspo source for charlie!! (and penny kinda has that manic ambition of leslie knope, though she's not nearly as caring and selfless lol)
partially? lol the screen recording bits were actually filmed a while ago (if you look at the right side panel in the scrivener doc it says it was created in may 2024) so now i'm just compiling it all and recording intros and voice overs XD
Could you please organize all the videos into a playlist by their publish dates, starting with the oldest first? This would really help new viewers find your content more easily and follow the journey. Thank you!
3:09 These two character archetypes sort of remind me of this old movie called "Reality Bites" with Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder, where Winona Ryder's character is sort of this pixie-ish overachiever (a bit ditzy), and Ethan Hawke's character is a serious, cynical, bookish slacker/hipster. btw: hit that like button, guys! :)
oh we’re so back

thank you!! i like to think so too, but i'm so close to story it's hard to tell XD good to hear from an outside perspective!

Kat, I missed you and I missed these writing videos SO MUCH. I devoured the last two videos! Thank you for coming back!
Teaching us about including a mini-mystery to tease the readers in Act 1 while simultaneously teasing us with that same mystery? Kat, you’re a mastermind 😆
SO glad you're back, and I'm loving this series!!!!
I just watched your previous video and when I realised you had another one up I SCREAMED 😭💜
I'm pretty excited for this rewrite example.
Thank you for the insight!
ohh so we are BACK BACK!!! 🎉🎉 do you have an idea of who could play the twins in a movie adaptation?
oh jeeze, i have no idea! if it was my choice, the adaptation would probably be animated XD
I didn't realise how much I had missed @Katytastic until she came back!!
This is amazing!! Loving this series. ❤❤❤
Can I just say how happy I am to be getting these types of videos again 😭💕
Oh damn, I’ve missed you! Love this series so far!
These videos are so fun! They def make want to grab my laptop and write… after I procrastinate for however long they are lol
KAT IM SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK
Your writing videos have always been so helpful, especially now as I'm rewriting my first completed draft.
i'm glad to hear that! good luck w the rewrite :)
we are so blessed by ALL the videos
I love this daily upload
"serve tables in your 20s and you can serve tables in your nightmares. forever" so real...
Is it bad that I almost didn't believe that you were going to post again? But, you did! You're really back, yay!
lmao. we're so triggered. is this reality? feels like a dream. 😜
i mean, i hardly believed me and i'm the one making the videos so XD
Charlie gives April luggage vibes!
Aaa already!! How often will vids in this series be released? I’m so excited!!
yay! and i'm aiming for at least once a week, but more often when i can manage!
@ absolutely brilliant! I’m plotting my novel at the moment with your method so this is massively helpful! Came across it the day before this series started so the timing is amazing x keep up the amazing work!
Loving the TS references ❤
I was going to go back and watch your old book outline videos, these are coming at the perfect time for me 😂
Uh oh. I might have found my new favorite TH-camr and author. ❤❤❤
Leslie Knope vs. April Ludgate. Perfect! XD
I love this. Very helpful
At some point during the character brainstorming I started picturing Caryn and Connie as these twins. They’re a duo who does Sims builds here on TH-cam
They live!!!! ❤
it seems like you came back exactly when we all started working on our own stories, how did you know? 😂❤
Laini Taylor our Mother in the back!! I know that’s right!!!
Do you have a playlist for the other project you walked us through? I can't find the video but I remember watching it. It might have been a livestream though.

@@Katytastic Yes! It was probably the warlock/gladiator one. Thank you!
3 videos in a row?? I feel so spoiled omg
Giving April Ludgate vibes for sure!
yessss she's definitely an inspo source for charlie!! (and penny kinda has that manic ambition of leslie knope, though she's not nearly as caring and selfless lol)
I was about to go to bed. But now there's a new video???????? Decision made: Watching the whole thing first. Sleep can wait.
having a good sleep schedule is overrated anyways XD
@@Katytastic I expected "Go to bed! The video will wait." Instead, I got this. GOLD!🤣🤣🤣
...not to be all ADHD hyperfixation on you but Penny is giving Wei Ying and I already love her.
KATTTTTTT
BLESSED
Did you pre-record this entire series? Because that would be genius!
partially? lol the screen recording bits were actually filmed a while ago (if you look at the right side panel in the scrivener doc it says it was created in may 2024) so now i'm just compiling it all and recording intros and voice overs XD
Could you please organize all the videos into a playlist by their publish dates, starting with the oldest first? This would really help new viewers find your content more easily and follow the journey. Thank you!
i'm definitely planning on it! but there's only two episodes so far, so not much of a playlist yet XD
yay

i haven't seen that movie! i'll have to check it out to see how the archetypes/dynamics are portrayed there!
Hello, Gorgeous! Love the red lips and green shirt! So cute! 💛
thank you!!
Ex boyfriend got axed before he can get blown up
poor guy was doomed from the start XD
💗💜
So Charlie is a Kardashian 😅
.......i don't actually know enough about the kardashians to know if this is a good comparison or not lmao XD
@Katytastic it's the accent not necessarily personality 😅 Charlie kinda talks like kim Kardashian, haha
