I love seeing all the trackers! And I really need a Future Bestselling Author sticker!
Yay! Thanks Emma! And anything with that saying on it is so motivating haha!
I love seeing goals videos and videos going over the goals you’ve accomplished. And also vlogs and life/writing updates.
Thanks Mevia! I'm super excited for you to see next Tuesday's video, it's exactly what you're describing! :D
I would love to see on how you divide your business side and writing side of your writing career. It always seems I have time for one or the other, and one always seems to suffer. Also, I don't know if you publish wide or not, but I'd love ideas on how you market wide.
Love that idea! I don't think I've ever set out to intentionally talk about that BUT I have exciting news that next Tuesday's video is actually super focused on that topic and I talk about it a lot! :D So excited for you to see it!
And I do publish wide, so I'll make a note about that video idea, thank you!
@@BethanyAtazadeh Can't wait to watch it!
My husband bought me a few books similar to these. I only found out that there is a pocket on the back end of the book, on the inside. Cool for keeping stickers or notes? I wonder if ours are the same. Not that it's a giant deal, but a pocket????
Flower-Crazy 🤩
Giveaway Entry: I would love to see more videos on your journey as you start achieving the goals you talked about in this video. I am excited for so many of the things you were talking about! Also, I love your scripture motivation page. I need to start doing that too.
Oooh I LOVE that idea - thanks Erin! :D And so glad you liked this video!
Giveaway entry - I want it! ive been wanting to start a bullet journal! I like your vlogs, and would love to hear more on your writing process - mine changes every year - to be honest - and maybe on how you outline - I love your channel and of course your corgi! GORGEOUS... thanks for the chance to win!
Yay! Thank you so much Ashley!
Great stickers, and I love how much thought you put into those care packages 💖Sets your channel apart, Bethany!
Thank you!
Giveaway Entry!
I'm excited about any video you will make this year. I especially like your dramatic, comedic videos (response to reviews).
Thank you so much! That's encouraging because I have another idea for a video in that series haha!
@@BethanyAtazadeh you're welcome! Your videos are helpful. I wish my university schedule allowed me more free time.
Giveaway entry!
I would say I would love to see more videos covering topics like marketing books and collaborating with other authors or bookstagrammers/booktubers.
Also! Day in the life videos, but through the eyes of your cute corgi! (Day in a dogs life, I guess. Lol)
Great ideas! I have a whole marketing playlist if you're curious and want to check out the 25 videos I have so far on that! :D Here's the marketing playlist link: th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRyoYX09ck9wOjzUDzIoG6Cng.html
And I will write those other ideas down, thank you! :D
I'd love to see more planning videos or ideas on how you pick the best ideas out of the many ideas I'm sure you come up with for your work and writing. Giveaway entry
Giveaway entry: I love this! I echo Evelyn Gray's - I too am not a seasoned author and social media scares me...I'm trying to figure out what to post and am feeling a bit inept! Thank you so much for all your videos!
Yay! Thank you Bethany! And a video on social media would be so much fun! :D
Giveaway Entry
I'm new to your channel, so I'm not sure if you've already talked about this or not, but I'd love to see a video on how you outline.
Thank you Sadie! I do have a whole series on outlining, glad you asked! Here's the playlist for the outlining series: th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRypHCkpYqFT9DGxBzXtIn-o0.html
@@BethanyAtazadeh Thanks so much for replying with your playlist! I'm going to start watching those now.
giveaway entry-- I would like some writing challenges as well!
Yay! Thank you Laura! :D
I love this set up! You’ve given me some ideas for my journal, I need to create some new trackers for this year.
Giveaway entry! I just found your channel, and I love that you use verses for inspiration in your Bullet Journal! I never thought of doing that! I would love to see videos on how you made your entire book cover, because I am about to publish my first book, but I don't have a cover yet and I can't find a good videos on it.
Thank you Nayra, I actually have a ton of videos on cover design! Here is my book cover playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRyqUB8NzkkVIF2-dP1ccVmg6.html
Hmm, quarterly page looks useful--will check out Brittany's video!!
Thank you so much for your transparency about which platforms and why--helpful!
Giveaway entry! I'd love to see videos about the publishing process!!! Happy New Year :)
Yay thank you Hudson! There will definitely be more videos on publishing :D
Bethany, I really enjoy your content. Good luck in 2021 💃
Ooh, I like "Shiny Ideas"!!
😍😍😍love all the flowers!!!
Hehe thank you! :D
Great video on the use of the bullet journal. I used to have something very similar by using the day planner. I recently found a nice little MacBook app that I use to essentially do the same type of things. I like the ability to keep track of work stuff, personal goals, and WIP. It also allows me to see it on my phone too, so I don't have to physically carry the notebook/day planner around.
I just wanted to say, even though I am in the middle of writing a non-fiction history book (my first endeavour), and a lot of the words of wisdom come from a fiction standpoint, but I appreciate the tips and advice you give because much of it can be used for non-fiction. Love the videos, I bought your books over the Christmas break for my daughter. Regards, Keith
I would like to see a video on how to copyright your work, when using a pen name. Love your videos...they are so helpful!
I wish I knew the answer to that but I don't, so sorry! Maybe another youtuber might have a video on it though! And thank you! :)
Would you be willing to do something on taxes as a self pub author? Nooooobpdy talks about it that I’ve found. I’m not looking for specifics, but more process stuff.
That's such a great video idea! The only problem is that since I'm not a trained CPA, I'd be extremely worried about misleading people accidentally, and that's too big of a risk to take for finances! But I think videos on the topic by professionals outside the community are just as applicable, and here's one of my favorites if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/YQhwOOBlplk/w-d-xo.html
Giveaway entry! 😁 I'm hoping for Enchanted Crown related videos to get hyped for the release ❤❤
Woohoo!! Thank you so much Mandi! :D
I want to do my bullet journal now! But it's the middle of the work day :(
Interesting set up! Thanks for sharing.
*giveaway entry!*
I’d love more writing music ambience videos. I’m obsessed with the background music videos on TH-cam and play them everyday! ❤️
thanks kellirenae! Those are super fun to make! They don't do amazing on my channel, but I would still love to make more someday! :D
I want the books to read stolen kingdom not in kindle or anything what i do for that😐
It's beautiful! I love the flowers!
Thank you! 😊
I would love to see more behind the scenes or vlog style videos!
Yay thanks Kasey! :D Good news, next week's video is a vlog, so you'll get to see that very soon! :D
I was going to say formatting, but I see that that's coming up :P
Have you done one for like, How to Analyze a book as a Critique Partner? I know a lot is based on practice and experience, but I love hearing how people read a book and break it down, figuring out how to make it better, what to tighten, knowing when something needs more internalization, pacing, developmental edits, or whatever process they use to really help their CP's book. I'm always looking to grow for my own projects as well as doing a great job for my CP. I feel like I critique differently between my own book and a CP's book, so that might be an interesting topic for you to tackle too (unless you critique the same, in which case, congrats! :P lol)
Are you in a Mastermind group? If so, could you touch on that, what's helpful for you, what someone should look for in a group and group members, is it time consuming, etc.
Giveaway Entry ;) Those giveaways are fantastic! Thanks Bethany!
Yay! Thank you Katie! Those are awesome questions / video ideas, a video on CPs or mastermind groups could be awesome, thank you! :D
@@BethanyAtazadeh You're welcome :) I know a lot of people touch on how to handle CP feedback, but I'd love to see the flip side of that, the giving feedback part. And I know there are some surface videos for that out there as well, but yeah...I'd like a deeper look :)
❄️❄️GIVEAWAY ENTRY❄️❄️
I would love to see videos on how to grow your platform! I feel like you grow and then you plateau. Possibly some ways to get over that. Lol
I love seeing your content btw!! Thank you so much for using my comment in this video!!
Thank you so much Mary! I love that idea! :D
Giveaway entry. I love all videos regarding goals, productivity, organization (writer life), and writer-related problems (editors, haters, etc).
Love those ideas, thank you Nicole!
Giveaway entry! First of all, I came across your channel over a year ago and watching your videos was one of the things that convinced me to self-publish my first book in 2020, so thank you for your awesome content! :) I would love to see videos about how to market/sell signed books through your own website, preorders (if you think they're worth it, do preorder incentives help, etc.), and a video discussing free or low-budget book marketing tactics.
Yay thank you so much Nichole! I love that idea about selling via a personal website, and also have preorders and my updates on those on my list! (I think I may have done a preorder video at some point if you're looking for something right away!) And I totally have an older video on free marketing tactics with my friend Mandi Lynn here: th-cam.com/video/1aI-BqCLZWM/w-d-xo.html
I want to know what a newbie author can offer as content for social media. I'm not new to making content for Facebook or youtube, however, I am not a seasoned author. What content could I produce that would actually be interesting to other people? This is a question I really would like to know the answer to. I know I'm probably overlooking something obvious. Oh, and this is also my giveaway entry.
Yay! Thanks Evelyn! That's an awesome idea, and something I will brainstorm and see what I can come up with, thank you! :D
Giveaway entry! I love all of your vids, they are always right on point! If I had to choose I would love to see more vids about how to organize your writing ideas, how to publish on a budget, what are some the things you did that completely changed your writing journey for the better? and also vids about publishing plss
❤️✨🥰
Thanks Breny! :D Love those ideas, and good news, I actually have videos on some of these topics already!
Here's publishing on a budget: th-cam.com/video/0JOj1bmmUm4/w-d-xo.html
(although I hope to talk about creating a release budget eventually too!)
and here's my publishing playlist :) th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRyq1inVJX7LOhRMyYKhrW2jR.html
Wow! Your journal is a work of art! I'd love to win the giveaway!
I'd love to see a video re: how you balance TH-cam and writing. Which gets priority? Do they get equal time? Do you edit your videos or outsource?
How much time do you give yourself to film a video? To write a draft?
Yay! Thank you Amanda! Those are awesome questions / video ideas, thank you :D
Give away entry- Hey! I love your videos so much ❤️ It would be really good if you make a video about author website and merch store and it's promotion on Pinterest. Thank you so much. Sending lots of love ❤️
Yay! Thank you so much! I actually do have a video on author websites here: th-cam.com/video/xms62LCgLKA/w-d-xo.html
and on my merch store here: th-cam.com/video/OxLDX-Et_2E/w-d-xo.html
and as far as Pinterest, I don't have a strategy or any plan at all really, besides a posted a couple pics for fun once haha, but thank you for the ideas!
Organization is the best!! Also - I don’t think you got too crazy with the flowers. It’s a perfect amount. :-) thank you so much for sharing this. So helpful and inspirational!
Haha thank you so much!
Very inspiring! I have quite a minimalistic approach on my bujo, but I need to learn how to draw those beautiful floral designs. My drawings are waaaay too basic (and I'm a graphic designer, so no excuses!)
Thank you so much!
I love your spreads! i need a good word count tracker and i love stickers too lol. i love day in the life vlogs for authors, maybe writing experiments? those are always fun to watch too.
Thank you so much! Love those ideas - and super excited to share that next Tuesday will be a vlo AND a writing experiment hehe, so I can't wait to hear what you think of that one! :D
@@BethanyAtazadeh heck yes!! i'm excited lol
@bethanyatazadeh, hey quick question, have ur or would u be willing to make a vide or series on how you co-wrote your tip books? I got inspired for a nonfiction help book for creative Christians, and could use some advice going in.
I'll add that idea to my list, thank you!
Giveaway entry. I loved this video and would love to see more bujo/organizational things that are fun but realistic. For example, that tip about using the post-it notes on your content calendar was amazing and I've never seen that before. Would also be interested in writing/business of writing content.
Thanks Sarah! Those are awesome video ideas!
Giveaway entry! I would love to see more from you about the business side of writing and still like your writing process! Still enjoying everything else though!
Thank you so much! I love that idea and definitely hope to do more business related videos soon! :D
Giveaway entry! I’d love to see videos about creating unique and strong characters!
Thanks Lillian! That's an awesome video idea!
Love those bible verses, Bethany. How encouraging!
Yay! Thank you Lesley!

Giveaway entry! I would love to see videos about how to plot your novels. I do some plotting but when I sit down to write it never seems to work out the way I had intended.
Thanks Jolee! That's a great idea - I actually do have a whole series of older videos on that exact topic and how I outline with "Save the Cat"! :D Here's the playlist link if you'd like to check it out: th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRypHCkpYqFT9DGxBzXtIn-o0.html

Love your promises page in your journal. :-)
Thank you so much!
Please give us an update on how teespring is working. Are you happy with it so far?
I love it! :)
I would love to see more on how you started your youtube channel.
That's a fun idea! I'm kind of boring because I started it in 2009 for sharing my music videos lol, but if you mean more of a "how to start authortube" I have been comtemplating that idea too!
*GIVEAWAY Entry*
I would like a video on editing (like what it's actually like)
And a video on complex characters!
Thanks for this video :) I too am in love with floral as well!
Thank you so much! So for editing, you mean beyond the editing videos I've done already right? Like more showing specifics? You might enjoy some of my "write it badly make it better" videos which are literally all about editing and showing you as I do the edits! :) Here's my editing playlist where those and tons more editing videos are: th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRypNRMVsRrxXTqxoG2hNqwv3.html
And thanks for the character idea too! :D
@@BethanyAtazadeh I haven't checked all of those out yet! Yes thank you 🥰
I love your bullet journal, you’re actually the reason that I decided to make my first ever bullet journal this year, it doesn’t look anything nearly as nice as yours 😅 but it’s a WIP ☺️
Giveaway entry! As I work through my first draft of my book, I would love to see more videos about editing first drafts, formatting etc!
Thank you so much Francesca! I'm super excited to say a formatting series is coming soon, but just in case you haven't already seen my current formatting video, I'll copy/paste the link here for you: th-cam.com/video/jEbxLytRLm4/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Kayleigh! I think you're going to love next Tuesday's video then, because that's exactly what it is haha! :D
Yay! I can’t wait. 🥰
I love all of your videos, they have been the most inspiring to me. I managed to fulfill a life long goal this year of writing and publishing my own novel(Bloom of Beorg on amazon) in 2020. Thank you for your content and all the work you put into it.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you manage your Instagram posts. And I'm interested in any marketing videos you make.
Thanks Jessica! So glad you like them, and I made notes of your ideas! In case you haven't seen my marketing playlist yet, I thought I'd share the link with you too! th-cam.com/play/PL3IFBPbxQRyoYX09ck9wOjzUDzIoG6Cng.html
Loved this video! I’m not sure if you already have a first draft video, but I’m struggling to make it through mine. I definitely need to figure out how to make a writing schedule that I can stick to without losing my mind. A video on either would be amazing!
Thanks Alyssa! I sure do, actually have probably five or six videos on first drafts, but here are a few good ones:
---> first draft hacks: th-cam.com/video/A-mMXKPfR8c/w-d-xo.html
---> writing advice and encouragement: th-cam.com/video/nRbfF6n9a00/w-d-xo.html

Giveaway entry! I loved this. I want to get more into bullet journaling. I'd love to see more videos about the business side. Those are always the most helpful for me.
Yay thank you so much! Bullet journaling is a blast! :) And I can absolutely do more business related ones, there will be a bunch of those coming in the near future :D
😋 Giveaway Entry: I would LOVE to see the reveal of what your Invisible Souls project is about. That title has me SO CURIOUS! 😊 Also, maybe some writing challenges or something like that. (Similar to what Chris Fox does, but maybe not to the extreme of writing a million words in a year) 😂
P.S. Those flowers were gorgeous! 🌸
Thanks Rachel! I would love to talk about that project eventually! I'm keeping it pretty close until I'm ready though :) And Chris Fox is awesome, that'd be a cool video idea! Thank you so much!
P.S. I just realized that this coming Tuesday's video is actually a writing challenge, which is perfect timing! :D

I would love to see more vlogs on staying motivated and staying on track to writing everyday 😬❤
Love that idea! I think you'll really like next Tuesday's video where I end up talking about that a ton! :D
