when writing my own story, i try to remember that the first draft is where you tell the story to yourself, and it doesn't need to be perfect, even though i still edit lol. also, i love your channel, the algorithm did me right!
Yess that’s such good advice, I always get so worked out about it being crap that I never a fault do anything lmao. I’m trying to push through that and let it be bad. And thank you :,) so glad you’re here! good luck with drafting, hope we can continue together💫
The "I have to leave" plot hole reminds me of how sometimes characters in a tv show will leave to check on someone else and I think "they could have just called them" but I love the show so much that I just make myself forget technology exists lol so glad you figured it out!
Remember, the first draft is always a little “yeugh”. That’s why there are second drafts, and third drafts, and drafts all the way until the final draft that you’re proud of. I had to edit my first 5 chapters of my book 7 times until I reached an accurate beginning to the book. It took cutting several characters completely, cutting parts of the dialogue and story, and adding basically a whole new plot. It was obnoxious, but at least I like my own book now.
You’re completely right, it’s just so difficult to remember that in the moment! I’ve had similar revision journeys as well, and it’s so so difficult, but so worthwhile. Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely try to hold onto that thought. First drafts are allowed to suck💪🏾
everything is so cozy about this hall. Love your channel. I'm in the trying not to edit and add things I need to add as I write my first draft but it's so hard because I want my second draft to just be a touch up on grammar, punctuation, and maybe a few things need for the character and not a whole re-write ya know ahah. You got this though, awesome job on 36k :)
Thank youuuu :,) and YEAH it’s so hard to not go through and edit as I go. I’m halfway between accepting that may just be my process but also it’s stopping me from finishing anything so maybe I shouldn’t accept it ahahah. Good luck with writing!!
@@kekayowrites How have you progressed with untangling it? For me sitting on it for a day or two and letting the problem stay in the back of my mind + getting inspired by other works usually does the trick (or I get myself in much bigger trouble lol)
AHHH KELLEY YOU ARE SO KIND!!! I was literally watching your latest writing vlog and thinking about how similar Bramble is to my cat Tabbie!! I LOVE BRAMBLE!! I live for your cats I chronically edit as I draft but I *have* to stop with this book because I literally have been writing/planning it for years with very little progress haisnwwinw 🫠 Ahhhh thank you thank you, I literally loveeee your channel! ABSOLUTELY WE CAN BE FRIENDS :,) 😭 I already love this community so much!! This comment made my year !!!!!!!!!! Edit: one spicy noodles lover to another 😌🤝 you get me
The true start of your writing process is when you feel like your book is trash. Once you get past this feeling, you get back to work and bring your story to a point where you aren't utterly disappointed in it. Rinse and repeat ten times. Profit.
I come up with my greatest ideas in the shower and then forgot them when I go to write them down but its just the life of the writer I suppose 😃also I'm loving of all the little mermaid merch it all looks so cute.
EXACTLYYYY that’s me but with all the “great” ideas I get in the middle of the night. I always think I’m gonna remember them in the morning and I am always, always wrong. And THANK YOU!!
Just a writing tip, if you kill the part of you that cringes, then your book won’t improve. The way you know a part of your book isn’t great is by cringing at it.
I love how that kitty is living their best life while you're almost going creatively crazy 😔

the spot of color missing on your backspace button is so relatable. 😭
That’s what happens when you delete more than you write 😭

BAHAH that’s soo right!! I’ve never even thought of that, but it makes so much logical sense, like just shoot them a text ???
im obsessed with the music in your vlogs, love your videos 💗
Thank youu, elser!! Love your channel💞🫶🏽
@@kekayowrites awwwh thank you 💞
It's always so exciting to find a new writing channel, welcome!! I love your editing style, can't wait to see more :)

Your beautiful
it’s like facetiming a friend
Thank you :,) glad you’re here🫶🏽
I'm just watching your vids because of your cats (esp the kitten, soooo cute) but the writing content is an added bonus :)
And you’re so right for that cause that’s what I’d do too hahaha. Thanks for being here!

the "i figured out the plothole" clip, from the bed, almost asleep, spoke to my soul ahahha, great video!!!
Hahahaha you get it!! The writer struggle is too real. And thank you🫶🏽🫶🏽
you give off such a sweet vibe! congrats on finishing your rewrites! you're making great progress, keep going ❤
Finding a plothole is always tough but it's better than not finding it - that's the upside I always look at :D
Hahaha you’re so right. Better than finding it on a much later draft 🫠

What are some things you enjoy about writing?
I’m the same way with first drafts! 😅 I’m trying to break away too and just write it out and get it all down.
I can't wait for what else you have to post!
Thank you sm😭🫶🏽

@@kekayowrites The most important thing I've learnt as a writer is to write everything down lol.
Just a writing tip, if you kill the part of you that cringes, then your book won’t improve.
The way you know a part of your book isn’t great is by cringing at it.
Hahaha you’re right!! Definitely kill the part of you that cringes *except* in writing!
I love your energy and personality so much and want to see you win! Please don’t change for anyone in the world! 🥹💛
Thank you so much, this made my day😭🫶🏽
