I tend to struggle with the middle, too. But here's the twist: it isn't the middle of the novel necessarily, since I write out of order. It's the middle of the writing process that always gets to me.
That brick wall + aesthetic video is seriously the mood... I've tried epic fantasy playlists while I write to help with the vibes and I love it, but I may need another monitor just so I can have an aesthetic setting too!
Oh wow half of those books are in my want to read pile--I had DNF bridge kingdom unfortunately. I loved your vlog and I loved your show and tell of things and books, the new planner looks great, I’m wondering if I should get one too 🤔 great job with all that writing!
Love your new planner Lainey! I also had that thought of should I do HP again this year? And lately I've also been telling myself "you're gonna do it, you have all the stuff" lol 🤣
I had been thinking about writing something new last year at this time too, but also had an old manuscript that I felt wasn't working. Instead of trying to fix it, I just figured out what the elements were that I liked in it and completely rewrote from scratch, not looking at the original again once I started. It turned out to be a completely different story by the time I was done but with all the salvaged pieces that I wanted to keep. Maybe that would work for Sharp Hollows:) 10k in a weekend is bonkers and so inspirational for the rest of us, keep it up!
Congrats on the 10k! I’ve been writing quite a lot this past week and have been using sprints to do that too. I do 15 min sprints and can do about 500 - 700 words per sprint depending on my concentration level. I haven’t been doing work the past couple of days cos of a family situation but this video made me motivated especially since I decided to actually do Nano this year when I normally don’t. Thanks for the motivation! :)
Congrats and well done to you as you deserve all the credit you get on this video please stay safe and enjoy your writing ✍️ love your Australia fan John
YAY for hitting 10k! you're amazing!! also I love your "let's summon demons" t-shirt, I need that 😻 excited to hear more about your adult project and watch some nano-vlogs eventually!
I love that planner! I've been considering either that one or a daily planner from Erin Condren for next year. Haven't decided yet. I'm leaning towards the Happy Planner, just not sure about the layout yet.
Erin Condren was the one I was debating with! They had a galaxy one I really liked to and to have my name on it was appealing but ultimately really glad I went with this one!
I also have 2700+ words left to write (my 4 day goal was 30k), but after writing 27k in 4 days I'm pretty exhausted. And I'm done with Q1, so I'll probably rest for 1-2 days before continuing to Q2. But good job!

The premise of your story sounds amazing. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Also, your video aesthetic is so cozy. I love it
I can’t wait to see what you think of the course! I’ve seen it around but will be excited about your thoughts when you’re done. And yay for 10k!!
So awesome!! Videos & challenges like this always inspire me. If a writer sets their mind to something, they can do it!!

Sky in the Deep was my FAVORITE. I liked Fable and Namesake, but I am down for anything Viking and that one was just SO GOOD.
Yes! I remember the audiobook for it was really good too! Really interested in the Fable series. I cant resist a redhead main character 😂
Ah these videos inspire me to write so much💕

I also got a 2022 planner
It's coming up so quick, I cant believe it!

Wow. Big book haul.
I got a little carried away for sure 😂
@@gingerreadslainey out of curiosity, how long would it take you to read those back to back?
It is so dangerous being friends with you because your vlog always make me want to spend money LOL
