Nicely done video. As someone who has long tried to write a book I am in awe of those who have finished one. Which of course, now includes you. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself with us. I look forward to reading it. Great job author.
Hi Kate, Congratulations! I started my novel in December 2017, and my process has changed so many times in these 7 years. I hope to have it finished by the end of the year... (but then again, why do I put such pressure on myself, if I'm in for the long haul, as it has already been?) I had a "puzzle draft zero last year and printed Act 1. Act 2B needs time... Back to coloured index cards to sort out order of the many POV's in the introduction. It is a series too, so a lot of time spent with choices, questions, research and holes and puzzle pieces. I hope people love your new baby as much as you do, and if they don't, then so be it! You look relieved. Are you getting into something else or having a break? Kate Cavanagh, TH-camr is doing 100,000 word challenge in 3 months, with September 2024 as a prep month, so I may join her and others to get through the fear and finish this thing...Will you be joining us too?

that's amazing! you've got this. 💪🏼 I just want to get this published and then I'll feel out what I'm going to do next. I'll have to check the challenge out!
Wow - That is great to hear! Greetings Kate and congratulations on writing your first book. I too am excited and anxious - as I just finished the first draft of my first novel - a teen drama, a little over a month ago. I'm currently in the re-writing stage of my second draft and it's going slow. I wish, I was better at grammar and English, but I have already create a website for the book. Thank You for sharing - It sounds like you are a little ahead of me in book publishing - so please keep sharing your journey as an author.
After writing two books (just first drafts, mind you) I’m blown away by completed books on a shelf because I know it took so much to get them there. I just found you from this video, but now I’m following and plan to order your book when it’s released 😊💕
Wow! What a fantastic sharing of your accomplishment. All of those things you were projecting on the appreciation you found for others are just a look into how hard you worked on your story. You should be proud of that accomplishment and the emotions you shared in your video were so very heart warming to me. I'm glad that I clicked on your video because it made me feel so good to hear all that you had to say. I hope all is well with you and readers are eating up your book like crazy. Aloha!
I hope you have success in getting your book out there and sales-- I have written a book too, long narrative poems, and I am waiting to hear back from some traditional publishers, but if it doesn't work out I will also pursue the self publishing route, my main fear however would be it would end up on Amazon getting no sales. Best of luck with yours!
I feel so close but also so far on mine. It’s four books but I know it’s not quite there but it’s so damn close. Such an exciting time. Paid off you and excited for you to start getting your fan base for your story
congratulations! you're right, it is indeed a staggering achievement that many writers and wanna be writers will never ever summit. but you did it. i am in awe of you. enjoy and be proud in this moment and i hope that the book proves fruitful and profitable.
As someone who has now completed two books but has no way of funding my own debut, is there any chance you’d do a video on your kickstarter/process? That’d be so cool! Either way, I loved this video and will be checking out your debut
Writing that last sentence is an undescribable feeling. Good job!
it absolutely is ☺️
so excited for ur debut. thank you for sharing your thoughts, i really feel this way too so this video was so comforting.
thank you! i'm glad 😊

“Staring at a piece of paper and hallucinating for hours on end.”
Love this description of writing. We are professional hallucinators. 😂
haha we definitely are. 💡
I wrote two books a long time ago, but I was unhappy with them and just forgot about them.
maybe it's time to reexamine them? 🤔
It is such a wonderful feeling to hold your first self written book in your hands! I know from experience. :) What is your book called?
Truly an incredible experience. Under the Same Sky! 😊
I wish you luck.
🙏 🥂
