NOTES (not done with AI lol) *step one: braindump/brain vomit document* _step one a:_ braindump everything you can think of about your story in bullet (dot) points. think about characters, the plot, the premise; just everything you can think of, even if you know it won't go into the story. _step one b:_ go to the top of your doc and write down some information about your story like the project name (you can come up with a cute project name to make it more fun), genre, vibes/themes you want to include, your estimated word count (length), and a short summary or basic premise. try to keep the premise fewer than five sentences. _step one c:_ organize your document so that it's easier to continually update throughout the writing process. for example, you can separate it into sections for characters, scenes, settings, the magic system, and quotes. this allows you to keep the messiness of brainstorming while keeping your ideas for different story elements separated. *step two: place-plot* list possible places/settings where things can happen, and see where your imagination and the story take you from there. since your characters need to be moving in your world and the story needs to happen somewhere, this can be really helpful for visualizing your story and connecting different events as well as coming up with new ones. think about what can happen in a certain place, like how it could be connected to another plot point, or how the character(s) react to where they are. *step three: zero draft* your zero draft is your story told to yourself using short sentences. to begin, make a new Google Doc (or any document) and make a table with two columns titled "chapter number" (or name) and "draft". write what happens in each chapter or scene with bullet points and use short sentences to just get the story and ideas down on the page. you can focus more on action and dialogue here rather than internal monologue. just think about telling the story to yourself and making it easier to write the first and subsequent drafts later. *step four: the first draft* you're now ready to write the real first draft! create a new document and split-screen it with the zero draft or have the zero draft nearby, like on a tablet for example. then start writing the story using your zero draft and other notes and brainstorming as guides. the first draft is where you can make more fun, creative decisions and really let your description and characters' voices shine. Thank you so much for this video, Ana! It is really helpful and kind of erased a lot of my doubt and fear of starting something. I'm inspired/motivated to write now! I love your videos on how you plot/outline so a suggestion I have is to make more videos on how you plot and outline? Like the way you "pantser-plot" your zero draft or maybe you could try place-plotting a small story as an example of how it can be used? Idk but I think it'd be cool. Anyway, thank you for the amazing videos you make and I hope you take care of yourself! It's hard for me to take care of myself a lot of the time but I've been working on it. :)
I just turned 20- I'm going to write my book this decade. This is something I've always wanted to do, but never had the structure or idea of how to start it. Thank you so much for this advice. I am going to continuously reference back this video in my process!
I'm 13 and I'm starting to slowly build my community by posting on tiktok and inviting everyone to my discord server(only one person has joined at the moment, haha..) but luckily, I had my classmates and friends to help me, and I still do! they're really helpful and they help me create more unique characters and ideas. What I'm saying is that it never hurts to ask for help or build up your community. It helped me gain more and more motivation to keep going, haha. (This is coming from a person who procrastinates a LOT)
Its been four months, I'm 20, 21 soon and I also plan on writing my book! I wanted to see if you have made any progress and give you the notification to pull you back to this video. Maybe inspire you if you lost it!
Im 16 years old and im trying to write a psychology book,to raise awareness on people about mental health and psychological characters and personalities; Empath,Dark Empath,Narcissist,Machevalian,Co Dependent,Sociopath,Psychopath etc.
I am a 63 year old woman. I have been wanting to write for years. I have written screenplays but now I want to write books. Your advice is very valuable. Thank you.
imo this is the perfect way to explain how to organise chaotic thinking without taking away how chaotic it is. i am not good at being SUPER organised and planning out everything meticulously, but this explained how to do exactly what i’ve been wanting using the way my brain works, and i don’t even think it was on purpose. you’ve given me a lot of motivation and hope and i look forward to finally writing a novel as i’ve been trying to do for over 7 years now
i keep saying i want to write a book, and i just haven’t because i don’t know how. Today our teacher showed us a book that a student only a year older than I published. It really inspired me and i’m very determined to write now.
16 here, I wanna start writing about life. Basically a book about my mind as I’ve realised that my mind is something many people don’t understand. Which is sad because my mind is a wonderful place to me. It’s a weird concept but I have a feeling it’s gonna be big.
You can create the character like you you can just write story with your thaughts as the characters thaughts why not it will be more emotional and good
Hiii I'm 17 and I feel the exact same way! Even my parents don't understand how my brain works. Pretty sure I have narcissism (plssss don't put me in the sterotype I try my best to control it) :( or maybe it's bipolar? I've had a terrible life and I kinda want to base my story or at least the vibes of it to my life my life is just getting better rn and I have an amazing bf but I've been called to writing and reading my while life. READ DEATH IS MY BFF. It draws you in so much its actually crazy. It's on wattpad (I suggest the rewritten versions) but the author also had 2 books of it published!
I don’t think it’s narcissistic, for me, I have a macabre train of thought and I like darker things. I’m a very honest person. I also like poetry and song writing I tend to write darker things. People don’t usually understand it. There is this stigma that if you’re in the darker side, you’re mentally unstable. I personally think it’s more of a 2 types of people scenario. Person A likes the happy stuff and doesn’t like to think about reality. Person B on the other hand always thinks of reality. Person A gets sad when things die, Person B is accepting and is fascinated by the scenario. There is no set box and sometimes the craziest person is the right person.
Ive always wanted to write a novel but never knew how to start or what to do. This has helped me so much and its made my usual writting process so much easier. :)

I searched “how to write a book” and this video came up, I can officially say I’ve started my first draft for my book idea. Thank you for making this video!!!

Im a young begginer writer, your videos help a lot :] i wrote about 11 chapters of my first book a few months ago, but ditched it at some point.. a few days ago i decided i dont like what i wrote so im starting over! I just started my 2nd chapter lol After learning about writing a bit, I like what i wrote now a lot better thanks to your videos!
It’s my dream to become a professional novelist and artist, it’s my passion, I started creating many different fantasies in my head at a young age. I’ve built entire worlds and I have no idea what to do with them, I’m glad I found your video, it helped me a lot! ❤
Love this guide! I would love to see a longer video of you explaining how you “Pantser plot” your zero draft! Or maybe just a Vlog where you do an example bullet point plot! I always think up cool story ideas but then get stuck with brainstorming the plot and how to make the storyline progress in a natural way. Thanks for all your awesome writing videos they help me so much! :)
I just turned 13 and finished my thriller/romance book and I never thought I would be good at writing because my dream is to be a police officer but I think I’ll pick up both careers Edit: I just started a romance book recently, I’m on chapter 34 and Ik I won’t publish it but wtv
You’re absolutely right about wearing reading glasses it shows your highly educated and shows your working on a project that shows that you better yourself and encourage others to do the same especially if you’re in the process of writing books for people seeking change to better themselves in life and and when they read your books and it’ll inspire them to be a better person and to encourage them to be creative with ideas
This video was perfection. I was really struggling, wondering how to start writing the book and in what order. This made the process seem really simple. Thank you for breaking it down into steps to follow. Great work. I've wanted to write a book for ages, but due to personal reasons and my writing knowledge was from school and it's been a long time since then aha.X
Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH I’m currently working on a book about some disasters that happen but I keep getting stuck on what to write but this helped a ton Thank you ❤
I finally finished developing the idea I had for a story at 12 - it’s changed a LOT, not even the same as it was at the start except for a few aspects, and I had nowhere to start writing and I felt so lost and I came across this video and now I have a prologue!!!! tysm!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your process. I have been “jotting” my chapters and plot at random as I have time or the desire hits me. Being late 40’s and wanting to write. I decided now is the time. Thank you
aaaa thank you for this!! I'm planning on making a webtoon for a story I've had in mind for years but I really struggle to make a proper plot. So excited to finally sit down and plan out this story!
Wow.. this is so great. I can’t explain how much I love your approach.. the structured way, esp The Zero Draft. Thank you for shining light over my dark path of writing my first book.
having a background can be helpful so it isn't stress or taking too much time just staring on wtv you're writing on. But yea, it is a bit of a wait before actually writting.
I'm a year late here but I'm so glad I discovered your video! I'm a 26 year old freelance illustrator and have been wanting to find my niche elsewhere, and learning writing has been my most recent hyperfixation. I've been trying to just do it all on my own with no guidance outside of Google but not knowing where to start has been killing that drive. I have a whole lot of nonsense written for two stories that I switch back and forth between. I really love how you organized your methods here, my ADD brain appreciates it 🥰
I’ve been writing since I was a teenager and never thought to outline 😂 I’d just write scenes on paper and try to put them together when writing in a doc now that I’m actually looking to get published im going to actually try plotting thank you for this ❤
I replayed the section where you mentioned, “Place Plotting” about 10 times!! I just LOVE that idea! I can already see my stories coming to life & unfolding in such a super easy way even though I haven’t even written anything yet. Thank you, Ana neu for being such a GENIUS!!!
I'm 15 years old, started writing around 12 like most of us who've an experience of writing cringe books when we were young LOL! Even though i started writing at 12 it was mostly fanfictions and OF COURSE on Wattpad. But throughout the years I've improved a lot in every aspect of writing and I got a lot of hype on my ffs too which encouraged me to continue writing. Although, when i actually started reading published novels, my mind immediately changed to writing my own novel one day because i wanted to come up with my own characters, character names, etc. After a ton of thinking i decided to close my ff account and made a brand new acc for novel writing. I've been planning my novel for over a year and half now and now that I finally want to start writing it, i thought some tips from writers might make this a little easier for me. ❤
Im never ever gonna write a book because im just not skilled enough but this helped me get the story I had in my head for years mapped out on paper. so thank you sm for that
i have a very bad habit of just *starting* before working out the finer details, and run into a wall after chapter 3 and stay there- this really helped!! thanks ana!!
Another thing! if you know it'll take more than a day to write the ideas, plot, Etc., Set a timer of a goal for how long you write every day instead of doing it for hours and burning yourself out, if you do you just won't want to write it anymore. i do fifteen minutes and do more if i think i can, like add seven minutes, and stop early if i stop wanting to write, so i don't get burned out.
Thank you so much for making this video you have helped me so much with my writing. I have never been able to write and finish a book before. It has been my dream to become an author and finish writing a book and then publish one. With this method of planning out the book I have hope and believe that I can finish my first book and publish it! Thank you so much!
Seeing people comment that they have started writing books at 12 and 13 has inspired me. I've always loved english. Now that I see people around my age doing it, I have the courage to do it myself. So thank you to all the people who commented their experience. You've helped me feel more capable! Have a good rest of your day or night!!!!
I’ve noticed that when writing books it’s a similarity of essay writing from the thesis by the argument layout of a well organized essay by state your main idea make sure your verb endings agree and most importantly you learn that punctuation is very important especially preventing run ons is basically it goes on to the next sentence at the time your reader would get out of breath because of no punctuation for them to pause to catch their breath
This is really helpful, as a child. I always wanted to be a novelist, and my short stories were always wildly praised (my literally just my parents and teachers), but I never did anything with it. Now I’m 26, and this year I have been fired (illegally but I can’t afford a lawsuit), dumped by my fiancé, and more recent health complications I can’t afford. I guess if there is a good time, it would be now between doordashing and job hunting I Just have a tough time with the plot. I know I have the ability to make something come to life, but I don’t have the story I need to tell yet. And all the advice I get says don’t force it.

I'm 14, and I have been SO intimidated by the idea of writing a book, that I never got to it. Like, just on a whim, I made a quick decision to just start right now. Though, I can't wait to see how this unfolds. I'm sure it will be a wonderful journey. My mother really wanted to write a book and has been planning her whole life to write it, so I hope by my writing of my own book, she will find inspiration to finally start it. Thank you!!! 💖💖💖
I’m trying to write my 1st book and every idea or conversation that come to my mind, i write it in my phone note so do not let any idea out. Write them all maybe you will need it
This is getting me so excited to write my Nanowrimo project :) having an actual process and list is what I've been missing, with so many projects just wasted because I didn't have direction on how to continue them. Thank you x
Hi Ana, I've always had an interest in stories whether it be from movies, video games, and even books. After years of contemplating if I could ever write, I've decided I actually want to give it a shot. I'm starting out researching how one even begins such an endeavor and I have come across your video. So far I like your way of thinking, so thank you for this video! To say the least, it looks very daunting and intimidating, but this will be the first time I have tried anything in life that isn't video games. LOL! Thank you again.
This video helped me so so much! I am 14 years old and despite my dyslexia, I love reading one of my dreams is to write a book yet I didn't know how to start one or how to make a good one because I felt like my last idea was a flop. Thank you for this ❤❤
Ana you don´t know how much you´ve helped me with that video! 😭 I always think about my story idea and characters etc. and how much I wanna write this book but I just don´t know how to start or even plot it. While watching this video I got so many ideas how I could start and it´s like someone turned on the light in my head. Thank youuuu!! 💕✨
Tysm for this video it helps me so much when I’m trying to write a story. Before this when I have an idea I kind of just wrote down that once specific scene but I always ended up getting bored of it or forgetting about it and I really regret that because as I look back I realize that some of them could become good books so again tysm for this it really helps me keep organized
Hi Ana, thank you for sharing such invaluable tips and insights! Your friendly and engaging delivery made it feel like we were having a cozy chat over coffee. Keep those amazing vlogs coming, you're making the writing world a brighter place! 🌟
wow, this is such helpful advice! I always knew the beginning and end of stories when I first drafted them out but I never knew what to put in between. the idea of thinking of places where the characters could go is going to really help me out, so thank you!
I write for fun, and haven’t been particularly adamant. Because my writing can be a bit crazy, i can’t seem to completely run with one idea. So thank you, this helps!
Will be writing my second book. Published the first one years ago and had my 4th child after, felt lost or not sure if what I did before still works now. Your video is helpful and so validating because I just got serious with my journaling as my Brain Vomit, with high hopes that I can grab my book content there later on. :) Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!! Well im a kind of artist and i wanted to write a comic story sooo bad but i was confused where i can start because i have Alot of ideas and i didn't know how to organize them, but thanks to you i can now si can finally write my first story
I'm currently writing a book. The story is already mostly written though, because it's about specific things in my life. Although, I'm shifting the ending and a few details so that it will only be based on real life and not an autobiography. ☺️ I can't wait to get the final outline done, then eventually at the end, the whole book.
I LOVE YOU , YOU ARE THE BEST , JUST THE MOMENT I GAVE UP ON WRITTING MY NOVEL U GIVE ME HOPE TO CONTINUE , THE STEPS YOU MENTIONED WERE AMAZING AND SUPER BRILLIANT, JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO
I'm going to start writing my book today. an incredible story I didn't have the courage but it's time to talk aboutwho they are, why they invited me to a terrible event and much more.
Decided to begin a writing journey at 11, now I’m 13 and just starting. (Procrastinating is my main extracurricular activity). To other young writers, I wish you the best!
Love the vid! been a while since I've had time to watch a vid so im catching up lol. but you seriously need to make a vid on how to do eyeliner like i recently started wearing it and one side is too long and on the wrong angle and the other is too short and going down lol. please make a vid i need to learn!!!! tyss
My first published book was when I was 10 and it was 25 pages long, I’m 13 now and I’ve got a solid plan I’m happy with and I’m hoping to publish it when I get a job so I have the money but I’ve just got to write it and hopefully get it to my goal of 300 pages!!!
I like to just have little drafts and sections exploring the different things I want to get into under the notes heading at the top of my document. That way, everything I need is right there and I don't have to worry about finding exactly where something fits before writing it down. Otherwise I'd burn myself out on details before I ever got anything done. For some reason the mere act of switching tabs is enough to slaughter any and all motivation I could possibly have :]
For my sophomore year I need to do a big project that’s worth 25% of my overall grade on something that interests me. I’m going to be writing a book but I’m really freaked out because we start in October and present in February so I’m trying my best to figure out the plot😅
This was extremely helpful, thank you. I am absolutely terrible at organizing my thoughts and ideas and I am excited to try this new system. thank you!!!!!!!
I didn't know that I literally just jumped over all of the parts and just straight up jumping to the first draft, I literally just make it with my own thought like I just going crazy with the idea 😅 I really have to do it now that I think about it. Thanks for the tips, I'll apply all of them now

looks like im not the only one! im so proud of u!
Me at 12 already written 300 pages but still thinking I haven’t written everything
NOTES (not done with AI lol)
*step one: braindump/brain vomit document*
_step one a:_ braindump everything you can think of about your story in bullet (dot) points. think about characters, the plot, the premise; just everything you can think of, even if you know it won't go into the story.
_step one b:_ go to the top of your doc and write down some information about your story like the project name (you can come up with a cute project name to make it more fun), genre, vibes/themes you want to include, your estimated word count (length), and a short summary or basic premise. try to keep the premise fewer than five sentences.
_step one c:_ organize your document so that it's easier to continually update throughout the writing process. for example, you can separate it into sections for characters, scenes, settings, the magic system, and quotes. this allows you to keep the messiness of brainstorming while keeping your ideas for different story elements separated.
*step two: place-plot*
list possible places/settings where things can happen, and see where your imagination and the story take you from there. since your characters need to be moving in your world and the story needs to happen somewhere, this can be really helpful for visualizing your story and connecting different events as well as coming up with new ones. think about what can happen in a certain place, like how it could be connected to another plot point, or how the character(s) react to where they are.
*step three: zero draft*
your zero draft is your story told to yourself using short sentences. to begin, make a new Google Doc (or any document) and make a table with two columns titled "chapter number" (or name) and "draft". write what happens in each chapter or scene with bullet points and use short sentences to just get the story and ideas down on the page. you can focus more on action and dialogue here rather than internal monologue. just think about telling the story to yourself and making it easier to write the first and subsequent drafts later.
*step four: the first draft*
you're now ready to write the real first draft! create a new document and split-screen it with the zero draft or have the zero draft nearby, like on a tablet for example. then start writing the story using your zero draft and other notes and brainstorming as guides. the first draft is where you can make more fun, creative decisions and really let your description and characters' voices shine.
Thank you so much for this video, Ana! It is really helpful and kind of erased a lot of my doubt and fear of starting something. I'm inspired/motivated to write now!

I swear I've thought of a similar idea to these themes. Im intrigued about the plot if you happen to have one.
That's so cool!
Tbh, I started writing a book similar to mental health. Does that count as a psychology book?

After learning about writing a bit, I like what i wrote now a lot better thanks to your videos!
It’s my dream to become a professional novelist and artist, it’s my passion, I started creating many different fantasies in my head at a young age. I’ve built entire worlds and I have no idea what to do with them, I’m glad I found your video, it helped me a lot! ❤
Love this guide! I would love to see a longer video of you explaining how you “Pantser plot” your zero draft! Or maybe just a Vlog where you do an example bullet point plot! I always think up cool story ideas but then get stuck with brainstorming the plot and how to make the storyline progress in a natural way.
Thanks for all your awesome writing videos they help me so much! :)
I just turned 13 and finished my thriller/romance book and I never thought I would be good at writing because my dream is to be a police officer but I think I’ll pick up both careers
Edit: I just started a romance book recently, I’m on chapter 34 and Ik I won’t publish it but wtv
I think you can do it I wish you the best of luck! 😊

I love being passionate about a new project. I’m rekindling my relationship with writing at the moment :)
You’re absolutely right about wearing reading glasses it shows your highly educated and shows your working on a project that shows that you better yourself and encourage others to do the same especially if you’re in the process of writing books for people seeking change to better themselves in life and and when they read your books and it’ll inspire them to be a better person and to encourage them to be creative with ideas
This video was perfection.
I was really struggling, wondering how to start writing the book and in what order. This made the process seem really simple.
Thank you for breaking it down into steps to follow. Great work.
I've wanted to write a book for ages, but due to personal reasons and my writing knowledge was from school and it's been a long time since then aha.X
Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH I’m currently working on a book about some disasters that happen but I keep getting stuck on what to write but this helped a ton Thank you ❤
I'm only on the first step but I already feel empowered and ready to write, thank you so much Ana 😁
This is so freaking helpful. Thank you so much
I finally finished developing the idea I had for a story at 12 - it’s changed a LOT, not even the same as it was at the start except for a few aspects, and I had nowhere to start writing and I felt so lost and I came across this video and now I have a prologue!!!! tysm!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your process.
I have been “jotting” my chapters and plot at random as I have time or the desire hits me. Being late 40’s and wanting to write. I decided now is the time.
Thank you
aaaa thank you for this!! I'm planning on making a webtoon for a story I've had in mind for years but I really struggle to make a proper plot. So excited to finally sit down and plan out this story!
Omg same! I wish you luck!! 🍀
A webtoon sounds cool :0 I was interested in doing that but I struggle with drawing 😭 good luck tho ❤
Wow.. this is so great. I can’t explain how much I love your approach.. the structured way, esp The Zero Draft. Thank you for shining light over my dark path of writing my first book.
I've always been taught this 3-step method to writing a novel:
#1. Write
#2. The
#3. Book
having a background can be helpful so it isn't stress or taking too much time just staring on wtv you're writing on. But yea, it is a bit of a wait before actually writting.
I'm a year late here but I'm so glad I discovered your video! I'm a 26 year old freelance illustrator and have been wanting to find my niche elsewhere, and learning writing has been my most recent hyperfixation. I've been trying to just do it all on my own with no guidance outside of Google but not knowing where to start has been killing that drive. I have a whole lot of nonsense written for two stories that I switch back and forth between. I really love how you organized your methods here, my ADD brain appreciates it 🥰
I’ve been writing since I was a teenager and never thought to outline 😂 I’d just write scenes on paper and try to put them together when writing in a doc now that I’m actually looking to get published im going to actually try plotting thank you for this ❤
The zero draft tip just solved 99 of my problems
I’ve been requesting this one! THANK YOU SO MUCHHH 💕
I replayed the section where you mentioned,
“Place Plotting” about 10 times!!
I just LOVE that idea!
I can already see my stories coming to life & unfolding in such a super easy way even though I haven’t even written anything yet.
Thank you, Ana neu for being such a GENIUS!!!
Like if you are a legend who saw at 0:05 she said full-proof instead of fool proof 🎉
I'm 15 years old, started writing around 12 like most of us who've an experience of writing cringe books when we were young LOL! Even though i started writing at 12 it was mostly fanfictions and OF COURSE on Wattpad. But throughout the years I've improved a lot in every aspect of writing and I got a lot of hype on my ffs too which encouraged me to continue writing. Although, when i actually started reading published novels, my mind immediately changed to writing my own novel one day because i wanted to come up with my own characters, character names, etc. After a ton of thinking i decided to close my ff account and made a brand new acc for novel writing. I've been planning my novel for over a year and half now and now that I finally want to start writing it, i thought some tips from writers might make this a little easier for me. ❤
Im never ever gonna write a book because im just not skilled enough but this helped me get the story I had in my head for years mapped out on paper. so thank you sm for that
i have a very bad habit of just *starting* before working out the finer details, and run into a wall after chapter 3 and stay there- this really helped!! thanks ana!!
Another thing! if you know it'll take more than a day to write the ideas, plot, Etc., Set a timer of a goal for how long you write every day instead of doing it for hours and burning yourself out, if you do you just won't want to write it anymore. i do fifteen minutes and do more if i think i can, like add seven minutes, and stop early if i stop wanting to write, so i don't get burned out.
I really needed a video from yu in this topic?! I can’t wait to watch 😊
Thank you so much for making this video you have helped me so much with my writing. I have never been able to write and finish a book before. It has been my dream to become an author and finish writing a book and then publish one. With this method of planning out the book I have hope and believe that I can finish my first book and publish it! Thank you so much!
Ana? If ur reading this ilysm. Your literally one of my favorite people and I haven’t even met you! You have given me the courage to write.
I finished the first draft of my book recently and I didn't know what to do next until I found this video. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Starting to write a book at 11! Great help through this video!

Seeing people comment that they have started writing books at 12 and 13 has inspired me. I've always loved english. Now that I see people around my age doing it, I have the courage to do it myself. So thank you to all the people who commented their experience. You've helped me feel more capable! Have a good rest of your day or night!!!!
I’ve noticed that when writing books it’s a similarity of essay writing from the thesis by the argument layout of a well organized essay by state your main idea make sure your verb endings agree and most importantly you learn that punctuation is very important especially preventing run ons is basically it goes on to the next sentence at the time your reader would get out of breath because of no punctuation for them to pause to catch their breath
This is really helpful, as a child. I always wanted to be a novelist, and my short stories were always wildly praised (my literally just my parents and teachers), but I never did anything with it.
Now I’m 26, and this year I have been fired (illegally but I can’t afford a lawsuit), dumped by my fiancé, and more recent health complications I can’t afford.
I guess if there is a good time, it would be now between doordashing and job hunting
I Just have a tough time with the plot. I know I have the ability to make something come to life, but I don’t have the story I need to tell yet. And all the advice I get says don’t force it.

I'm 14, and I have been SO intimidated by the idea of writing a book, that I never got to it. Like, just on a whim, I made a quick decision to just start right now. Though, I can't wait to see how this unfolds. I'm sure it will be a wonderful journey. My mother really wanted to write a book and has been planning her whole life to write it, so I hope by my writing of my own book, she will find inspiration to finally start it. Thank you!!! 💖💖💖
I’m trying to write my 1st book and every idea or conversation that come to my mind, i write it in my phone note so do not let any idea out. Write them all maybe you will need it
This is getting me so excited to write my Nanowrimo project :) having an actual process and list is what I've been missing, with so many projects just wasted because I didn't have direction on how to continue them. Thank you x
Hi Ana, I've always had an interest in stories whether it be from movies, video games, and even books. After years of contemplating if I could ever write, I've decided I actually want to give it a shot. I'm starting out researching how one even begins such an endeavor and I have come across your video. So far I like your way of thinking, so thank you for this video! To say the least, it looks very daunting and intimidating, but this will be the first time I have tried anything in life that isn't video games. LOL!
Thank you again.
I'm excited to watch another one of your amazing videos!
This video helped me so so much! I am 14 years old and despite my dyslexia, I love reading one of my dreams is to write a book yet I didn't know how to start one or how to make a good one because I felt like my last idea was a flop.
Thank you for this ❤❤
”Place Plotting” has caused me to SUBSCRIBED to your channel of brilliance!!!
Probably the best writing advice on how to start I've come upon so far! Can't wait to see what else I can learn here! Thank you
Ana you don´t know how much you´ve helped me with that video! 😭 I always think about my story idea and characters etc. and how much I wanna write this book but I just don´t know how to start or even plot it. While watching this video I got so many ideas how I could start and it´s like someone turned on the light in my head. Thank youuuu!! 💕✨
So did you write it?
Tysm for this video it helps me so much when I’m trying to write a story. Before this when I have an idea I kind of just wrote down that once specific scene but I always ended up getting bored of it or forgetting about it and I really regret that because as I look back I realize that some of them could become good books so again tysm for this it really helps me keep organized
Hi Ana, thank you for sharing such invaluable tips and insights! Your friendly and engaging delivery made it feel like we were having a cozy chat over coffee.
Keep those amazing vlogs coming, you're making the writing world a brighter place! 🌟
I hope to become a Author or somthing to do with writing one day! I love books, reading, and writing.😄
I’ve been trying to find a plotting method that works for me for soooo long and this is absolutely perfect. You’ve given me hope, thank you! lol
wow, this is such helpful advice! I always knew the beginning and end of stories when I first drafted them out but I never knew what to put in between. the idea of thinking of places where the characters could go is going to really help me out, so thank you!
Thank you so much I've never thought or heard of place plotting very useful
I write for fun, and haven’t been particularly adamant. Because my writing can be a bit crazy, i can’t seem to completely run with one idea. So thank you, this helps!
Will be writing my second book. Published the first one years ago and had my 4th child after, felt lost or not sure if what I did before still works now. Your video is helpful and so validating because I just got serious with my journaling as my Brain Vomit, with high hopes that I can grab my book content there later on. :) Thanks!
THIS HAS HELPED BEYONDDDDDD WHAT YOU KNOW OML
Im planning on doing the next camp Nano so I was looking for this!
THANK YOU!!!! Well im a kind of artist and i wanted to write a comic story sooo bad but i was confused where i can start because i have Alot of ideas and i didn't know how to organize them, but thanks to you i can now si can finally write my first story
I'm currently writing a book. The story is already mostly written though, because it's about specific things in my life. Although, I'm shifting the ending and a few details so that it will only be based on real life and not an autobiography. ☺️ I can't wait to get the final outline done, then eventually at the end, the whole book.
I LOVE YOU , YOU ARE THE BEST , JUST THE MOMENT I GAVE UP ON WRITTING MY NOVEL U GIVE ME HOPE TO CONTINUE , THE STEPS YOU MENTIONED WERE AMAZING AND SUPER BRILLIANT, JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO
the quotes thing is meeeee!!!
This sounds so fun to do, I've tried to write a book but I'm all over the place... Gonna give this a try!
man! amazing music!
2:38 for start
Thanks! 😊
tysm omg your going to help me so much with my plotting!
I'm going to start writing my book today. an incredible story I didn't have the courage but it's time to talk aboutwho they are, why they invited me to a terrible event and much more.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I can't even get past my first chapter lol
But with these tips I think I can get past the first chapter. Thanks!
Endlich mal etwas, dass neu ist. Danke.
I think the zero draft is going to be a life saver
Decided to begin a writing journey at 11, now I’m 13 and just starting. (Procrastinating is my main extracurricular activity). To other young writers, I wish you the best!
i really enjoyed this but i love how this feels so nostalgic like 2015 tutorials
thanks for the tips, I now figured out what to do for something I'm planning to write
Omg thank you! I’m only 12 but I have a story I want tell, this has helped me so much ❤❤
Same but I am 13 :)
I know you will get there!
This is so helpful im so excited to see my book come together (its going on wattpad)
Love the vid! been a while since I've had time to watch a vid so im catching up lol. but you seriously need to make a vid on how to do eyeliner like i recently started wearing it and one side is too long and on the wrong angle and the other is too short and going down lol. please make a vid i need to learn!!!! tyss
My first published book was when I was 10 and it was 25 pages long, I’m 13 now and I’ve got a solid plan I’m happy with and I’m hoping to publish it when I get a job so I have the money but I’ve just got to write it and hopefully get it to my goal of 300 pages!!!
I like to just have little drafts and sections exploring the different things I want to get into under the notes heading at the top of my document. That way, everything I need is right there and I don't have to worry about finding exactly where something fits before writing it down. Otherwise I'd burn myself out on details before I ever got anything done. For some reason the mere act of switching tabs is enough to slaughter any and all motivation I could possibly have :]
For my sophomore year I need to do a big project that’s worth 25% of my overall grade on something that interests me. I’m going to be writing a book but I’m really freaked out because we start in October and present in February so I’m trying my best to figure out the plot😅
This was extremely helpful, thank you. I am absolutely terrible at organizing my thoughts and ideas and I am excited to try this new system. thank you!!!!!!!
okay this made me start af project. THANKS!!
Those are some good ideas. I might try them.
i really needed it, thank you so much ana! 💖
can't wait to start writing my first fantasy book, ive been into reading a lot of fantasy and now i really want to start writing
I planned a long book about a war. This helped me so much!😃
I didn't know that I literally just jumped over all of the parts and just straight up jumping to the first draft, I literally just make it with my own thought like I just going crazy with the idea 😅
I really have to do it now that I think about it. Thanks for the tips, I'll apply all of them now
