I wonder if Georges Perec's Species of Spaces and other Pieces could be something to help you out on the "getting the image in your head to paper". One of the short essays in that book has stuck with me since I read it, where he describes one single detail takes a step back and describes the object where that detail is. Takes a step back, and describes where that object is. Takes a step back to the street, to the neighborhood, to the city... Something as an exercise. Find the details, find the place in your head, and turn it into words... Looking forward to hear more of your progress 🎉
Gina!! I devour all of your videos - loving the update on your book. I am beyond impressed that you can write a synopsis bc I truly cannot 😭😂 it sounds great. Definitely picking up the plot twist books - i also really love the decision you made for self-publishing in regards to really using your debut as a way to get feedback, grow and to utilize the people in your corner to help bring your story to life! so fascinating to hear what the easiest part of writing processes everyone has as well - love that dialogue is that for you!
sometimes making progress when you feel like you don't want to is still helpful, even if it's just something to edit/change later. it's still getting something down on (virtual) paper
Have you ever read Stephen King's On Writing? Before he was a full time writer he was an English teacher. He goes over the tools he uses and has a lot of insight into how he writes with a lot of autobiography as well. I think you would enjoy it.
@@geenahreads Nice. If you have a friend who writes I've found the buddy system to be effective. If you exchange what you've written weekly it'll help keep you accountable because you don't want to have to tell them you barely wrote anything, and if you're competitive it will feed into that to fuel your writing. Plus, you get regular feedback on your story.
By any chance are you going to be searching for a voiceover artist for an audiobook? My sister is experienced in that field, I can put you in contact and yall can see if your styles match
I know people are probably sick to death of the topic, but do you find any utility in using A.I. models (openai gpt-4o, o1-preview, claude 3.5 etc), even if it's just for brainstorming. There's varying levels of adoption/ revulsion of this technology and I'm just curious to get a writers perspective. As a software dev, it's extremely useful for the boring work, so perhaps there's something analogous to "boiler plate code" in creative writing that could be offloaded to A.I.
hmm definitely a sensitive topic especially in the creative world and I get why. I have personally used AI such as ChatGBT before for things like figuring out a word that is stuck in my head and I know how to describe it but that's about it. I think there are ways to utilize AI that are "acceptable" but unfortunately there are people/companies who are using it in a way that crosses that line. For example, I had a company try to reach out and get me to post a sponsored ad about their AI program that takes your idea and writes the entire story for you. Instances like those are obviously the ones where you sit there and go "God I wish some people didn't have access to AI."
@@geenahreads I'm definitely torn. I work in the field, so the part of my brain that understands how LLM's work thinks it's really cool that we can get computers to do this type of thing at all, but the musician in me recognizes that a world where A.I. monopolizes in the creative space is extremely dystopian. Especially when it dominates due to the sheer speed of productivity and not quality. We're already seeing the internet getting saturated with A.I. generated content. The next couple years are going to be pretty wild...
What’s the difference? Are you ACTUALLY asking if she’s an “Author” yet or still in the process of writing. Which she basically answers in the video anyways…
@ The question was an assessment of motivation, honestly I am not wholly convinced she is ready to commit to finishing her novel despite the obstacles she listed. I am rooting for any author that can keep lonely unfinished manuscripts out of dark cubby holes and buried table corners. That is their natural environment and I was wondering if she is gonna drag that bastard out ,dress him up, and send him off with a packed lunch.

Synopsis sounds intriguing, can't wait to read it ! :)
Oh boy I do like my empires build on fear and control. Neat.

Ooh, I like that synopsis! Is it more of a sci-fi empire, a fantasy empire, or a historical empire? (Or can you even reveal that yet? 😆)

Wordcraft is something you will build with experience. Happy writing and reading tap tappity tap tap Daria!

I have not but I do know some people who have and who found it very useful!

the fact that nobody talks about the book called Manifestation Hacks by Olivia Cooper speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance.
Do you have any projections on what your final word count might be?
I would say anywhere between 80-100k

Are you writing or a writer?
