..while breathing
Ah, the poison for Kusko...kusko’s poison. The poison you made to kill Kusko to take the throne...that belongs to Kusko but will no longer belong to Kusko when you kill him...with the poison.”

Watching this while procrastinating writing my novel smh
Mia WDW Phan relatable
Yeah me
Same here
MEEEEEE
Same 😔
she literally wrote 8k words in 2 days meanwhile my ass can't even write 3k words in a day
dinovelty my ass feels accomplished if I write 3k words in a week.
If you can remove the word literally and the sentence still makes sense it was unnecessary in the first place. Please don’t contribute to the overuse and misuse of this word.
Michael_M this was necessary why?
@@remlya I dislike it when people tell me how to talk. But, okay, I guess?
I write about 750 a day but I’m at work all day !! My brain can always output so much lol . Weekends I can write more 📖
Her: Wrote over 50,000 words in 30 days.
Me: Wrote over 1,000 words in 3 weeks.
Therese JJ GAWWWWWWWWDDDDD SAME
JSKFK THIS IS TOO REAL I HATE IT
Died Yesterday i can't fvcking understand how she wrote 5k words in a day!!???? I started writing last night and I've written 1.4k words till now I- 😭
Supernova Sehun The motivation in writing really isn’t cooperating huh? 🥴
BLUE PANTHER give me tips 😭
[fan-fiction writers laughing nervously]
To true..😂
I know I’ve written a book with 105 chapters each one atleast seven pages long (I printed it all) like i think I’m crazy
Yes that would be me 😂😂
Michael Moorcock wrote a four book series in three days. Writing a single novel in a month is not that impressive compared to that.
Same here. 😂
And there's a girl on wattpad, writing a book over 11 years and the readers are pretty close to attack her house to get the whole book.
Who?
I'm still sad because Elisa Luna deleted Screenwalks.
@@ceve there's a book called Prithvi by VermillionBlue. It has already crossed 100 chapters and the end is nowhere in sight.
@@anushka.jadhav lmaooo
And here I was thinking that Waiting for Celestial_Immortal to update The Legendary Female Strategist was baad😂,well,it certainly is still bad but nothing to compare with this 11 yrs of waiting😂
"I am the type of person that never finishes anything." basically me everytime I try to write a book
Haha same
THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! AND I HAVE SO MANY BOOK IDEAS! I JUST NEVER FINISH THEM!
@@victoriasmith136 omg same •-•
@@victoriasmith136 LOL, same!!! 😭😭
You wrote 5,000 words in one day?!?! That took me an entire year😂😂
Angela W ... seriously😂
ok yea
You would get on well with George R. R. Martin 😂😂
You can reach that in 10 daus with 500 words :s
You serious?
If Buzzfeed could do a video exploring the different ways to get published (how to find an agent, a publishing house, self-publish, etc.), that would be really cool....X.x
M And S Thanks
I would love this!
@@chronic-pessimist12 Thank you!
YES!
Alexa Donne's channel covers quite a bit as well.
As someone who's been working on a novel for just under two months I must say, you are quite possibly slightly insane!!!
Awsamazing Eden why such like and no comment?
Awsamazing Eden I have a 16 chapter Wattpad story that's essentially a fanfic
Clarence Royandoyan trust me I've been there.
I read that in like, a British accent. And Idk why
I prefer typing than writing. I can never last writing on a paper 😂😂
She wrote 50k words in a month. I’ve written 1k words in the last ten days
That’s amazing 😍 Don’t beat yourself up over that! You’re literally creating humans and scenarios in your mind and bringing them to life. How cool is that?
Anna H. Thank you for this omg, I’m trying a NaNoWriMo type of thing because I know that October will come and I won’t want to do it anymore lol but yes this helped me haha
That’s a lot of work done. Great. Perfect. Wow.
I did this in high school. I'm swiss and high schoolers have to do some kind of project in the last year. My friend built a segway, another wrote a musical and an other one went to India to help some kind of organization with children. Me, i just decided i wanted to write a book. Since we had to do it in english (i had half of my subjects in english), i wrote the book in english, too. Don't worry, my formal english was way better than it is in this comment. The book is about 65 A-4 pages long and i wrote most of it within one month. I should really read it again and correct, but i don't know what to do after that. What do i do with a finished book? I doubt anyonr would like to read it anyways. I'm 20 now; it's been 2 years and i haven't touched my book
Rafaela Scheiwiller sötschs eifach mal durelese, das zauberet der sicher es lächle is gsicht😉
You could always try self-publishing your book or just having it to keep!
There are a lot of chanelles where people talk about this kind of things. One I can recommand you is ,, Writing with Jenna Morecci". She talks about the writing, editing, publishing an marketing a book in a simple way. She is also write and publish, she knows what she's talking about.
print 10 copies or so, share them with friends & family. I guarantee most are willing to read it, or at least attempt to. They will give you the first feedback and if it's positive then why not go to a publisher? The only one who's afraid of what to do with it, is you.
Hey ech hans gliiche gmacht met minere MAAR das johr :) Han vor mini novälle zveröffentliche (oder zmindist zprobiere)
People do this in a single month... And I'm here like it took me almost four years and a suicide attempt to write a 150000 words novel
deadlyNightshade789 but you did it and I'm proud ^^ I've honestly had an idea for a book for more than a year but I've never gotten past like 20 pages because I get distracted and unmotivated and I'm lazy so all the kudos to you.
My book is ongoing, but I'm about ~70000 words in and I'll reach my 2 year milestone in August. 😂 We're on the same pace!
I'm laughing because I relate to this so much!!!! I still haven't finished writing the damn book though so kudos to you!!!
I am intrigued by your story
Well, at list you finished it 😂😂😂
I've started 10 novels and other proyects along that same amount of time and I've only finished one crappy one.
Now I understand why all the fanfiction updates are POPPING IN during November 👌
It is because we choose keep writing our fanfictions instead to finish our NaNoWriMo?
November is my month it’s August rn I just gotta wait three more months for fan-fiction season to start
Martin Romano 🤣🤣
@@anoor1775 Not all fanfiction is for anime, you know.
Participating in NaNo this year, sitting at 42,885 words on November 28th and freaking out. This video totally just refilled my confidence bar, thank you. I’m going to make it.
Update: NOVEMBER 29TH AND I FINISHED!! 53,245 WORDS
I have no idea how I just wrote over 8,000 words in one sitting holy crap. If anyone reading this is participating in NaNo, good luck out there! You may surprise yourself.
Belated congrats!
**Sees title and thumbnail**
It’s NaNoWriMo isn’t it
**Watches the video**
IT WAS NANOWRIMO HELL YEAH
I was basically the opposite of what you felt. I just felt annoyed that Buzzfeed was covering NaNoWriMo though I'm glad that I've never seen this girl before and I love the way the video was presented.
I wrote my 61k word novel in 3 months. I dedicated my entire summer to it because, being in med school, I have zero free time during the rest of the year. It's insane what you can do with enough hard work and dedication. It was such an amazing personal accomplishment. I understand exactly how proud you must've felt. Good on you!
Woah same but im on my pre med
What's the name of the book
Tt The T yes I wanna know
And then there is me, struggling to write 1,200 words for my persuasive essay even though i’ve already had three months
Can we read your book? I'm actually really hyped up about this now, haha.
Did she ever release it?
Sameee
She said she would try publish it, so we'll see :) I'll try look her up, do you know what her name is?
@@peiyentsai6430 her name is Steph Cozza
This is a great motivator! For 37 years, my first novel languished unfinished, but then I left my job as a newspaper editor, which suddenly gave me a lot of time to actually write what I wanted to write. In 2015, I finally made the push and finished the first novel. In 2016, I got stuck on a short story, then realized the story could be a sequel to the first novel and went in that direction. That summer, I completed six novels, from 80,000 to 107,000 words each. There were days when I wrote upward of 12,000 words! As of January 2020, I have 19 novels in print, with another seven in various stages. If you really focus upon the story and characters, instead of all the work it's going to take, you can meet this kind of challenge. I never thought it was possible, but I - and everybody else - really can finish our novels. Just gotta do it.
I just finished writing a 106000 word novel in 6 months but I can't imagine doing it in a month😱 props to anyone that finished the challenge!! Now let's get these babies published!
Brooke M Richards good luck girl💜💜
Brooke M Richards 49.999 words your file got deleted
Good luck!
Brooke M Richards... I just read 32 words and i number lol and it took me about 14 seconds. Lol then i wrote this reply and it took me another 50 sec.
As of right now it is 'Operation Socialization' and is a Science Fiction/Dystopian novel. My novel immerses you in a world that is living the repercussions of the past civilizations that believed in treating depleting mental health with amplified technology. They don't know where they went wrong but what they believe they must do to fix it is far worse than everyone living behind a screen.
(thank you for asking, I would love any feedback)
Can we read it?!?!?!
yes please
Yes please ×2
Oh my god YES I WANT TO READ IT
Not for a while if she wants to get this thing published. Otherwise someone could just steal all of her work and publish and copyright it themselves
Jennifer Won Who is Jennifer and what did she win?
I’m definitely doing this!!!!!!!! Starting...now!!
2 weeks later: haven’t wrote a thing..
NO BUT SERIOUSLY IM DEFINITELY DOING THIS!!
So did you guys do it?
Kaylee West Maybe a novel a month is a little too extreme, I‘ll try to write two pages a day now.
Liberty its been 2 years have u had enough time?
Sho1Sho.123.3 Alrawahi Nope! Haven’t even started 😂
Liberty i-...not surprised tbh but all the luck to u
I'm writing a novel during quarantine
I've done this 2 years now and met my goal both times. The thing about this event is that the goal is not to create a book worth publishing or even worth reading, it might be 50,000 words of nonsense. The point is to get people writing. The one I completed this last November, I deleted all but 15,000 words of it in December and since then am back up to 65,000 words that are actually maybe going somewhere. I love the event and I love the community it creates when you join groups to discuss your work or the process.
what groups do you join? I'm interesting in doing this and would love to be able to talk to people about it.
Its not as bad as it seems. I've written a novel in 30 days as well. I wrote for about 6-10 hours a day. It was a lifetime dream of mine to do so, and I totally cried when I finished. If you put your mind to something, you can achieve anything 😊
Lady Vampress Wow thats so impressive
Lady Vampress u are telling the truth. It was hard for me to finish my book and when I did and was so happy and one or two tears on my face
Did you get it published ?
Yeah, i put mind to save money for BTS World tour tickets, never happened, i'm sober
Wow.
* rests her head on computer, while accidentally pressing delete *
Elijah Butterfield *wakes up, yelling about how she pressed delete*
I take a chair and walk over, calmly, "You know, you can just hit control z, and now you've lost your manuscript. Great job," I say.
"Now, go back to your document history and restore the other version," I continue.
This is my frickin nightmare.😭
@@fruitloop9581
Not just yours. Mine too.
I freaked out when the app ive been writing in wouldn't open one day.
"It's November 27, I have literally four days to finish this book..."
Wish I could say that wasn't relatable...
5:15 Anyone else scared the coffee would spill on the laptop?
YESSS
Awsamazing Eden ....I’ve spilled coffee on my laptop twice in a row before.
I couldn’t use my laptop for a week as I tried to fix it.
Yes. I got it fixed and emailed the book to myself. Not having anything near my laptop ever.
Yes!
Yep. *moves own tea away from own computer* I am now safe.
Awsamazing Eden true true
I just got teary eyed watching this. I've only completed NaNo once, and it gave me the bare essentials of what would become the 98,000 word novel I'm shipping around to publishers right now. It's such a good feeling, crossing that finish line. It's hard, so hard, which is why I've failed the 30 day challenge so many times. But when you do finish, you feel so accomplished. I'M PROUD OF YOU GIRL!
Moondragon1821 I'd love to know the name of your book!:)
hey good luck i'm a writer myself and being published is my biggest dream. i love seeing other succeed.
Book name?
What’s your book called? I’d love to read it ❤️

Plot
That's it
It's been 2 months and I only just finished the plot today
:)
Oops
how's it going?
I'm so proud of her and anyone who's ever finished a novel! I've only ever finished a short story at 7,500 words...
Do a part two of getting my book published 👀👏🏼
Jordan C part 2 would be revisions. Part 3 editing. Part 4 write a query letter. Part 5 find a literary agent. Part 6 literary agent finds publisher.
That would be in 3 years at least considering the genre is ya fantasy
Jordan C and that’s considering that at this point she doesn’t yet have a whole book. She wrote 50,000 words that’s not a whole book yet. I think she needs at least another 20,000-30,000 words. It’s a long process but I wish her luck.
It's Too Late to Apologize that’s not true, it’s up to the author for how long the book is. It isn’t like the editor is going to be like “this book is only 50,000 words I shall not edit” they would be like “oh good this isn’t a 400 page book I would now have to read through and find every little mistake.”
XXGabby XX when finding an agent word count matters. If you’re editing it before it gets looked at by an agent then word count doesn’t matter because the writer is paying out of their own pocket for the editing service and the editor doesn’t care how long it is because their rate depends on type of editing requested and word count.
imagine if she didnt save it, or if her computer glitched and shut down halfway through deleting all of it 😳
Zee Ozzy that’s why auto save exists
@@ok-ov2gg exactly lol
Ngl I did NaNo in 2014 and after multiple laptop changes and software changes... gone, all gone. Rly regret not backing it up literally everywhere tbh.
She probably used google docs
Yep happened to me in 2014...
The reaction from her friend when she told her that she did it in 30 days.
Thank you for this. I’ve been discouraged because I don’t feel like I can get my story finished, but this has been inspirational
when u realise your essay is due next month
Darcie X my historical essay, is due this week. My historical fiction and history paper is due in 11 days :/
My gwaith cwrs is due in next week and I'm no where near done hahaha
I'm done with mine but I have some classmates who aren't :/
Mine was 2,000 words due last night and i didn't do it even though we had 3 weeks
*honestly, i would read it*
abby hey fellow arianator
oh... i have likes :)
Omg. That is so amazing and inspiring!! I noticed that the fact you went to the event helped a lot in writing! I remember the saying that went like, just having the energy to go to the event and being present is sometimes more than enough to get inspired and endure. :)
I started my book 3 years ago and just kept deleting the whole thing and rewrote it all over again. 2 months ago I started it again and worked on it really hard and now I'm close the end....is that good or bad? I'm kinda happy with it....for the first time
It's really good! Congratulations, keep going 🙈
YAY YOU CAN DO THIS!
good luck with your book :) I really hope you finish it!
That’s so good ack!
I hate writers block!! I'm in the middle of writers block right now, and it's terrible.
Sara Wehbé Same ugh 😭
Same! Seriously, but for me it's with the characters and their personalities. I come up with a topic, I get super hyped up. I make up names for characters, then O just kinda start crying when I actually have to give them different personalities and looks... UGH! WHYYY
Melt it.
Ikr
To be honest, the best way to break out of writer’s block is to write! I just write anything, with no care how trashy it is, then somehow ideas come flowing back in. Another way is to take a walk outside and spot for inspiration. Even the slightest buzz of a bee can spark an idea.
I am an artist and today I woke up realizing I wanted to write my own illustrated novel.
Samee I got inspired by a dream I had. I dreamed like the outline of the plot and I really want to write an illustrated novel for it :3
Welp but I have 2 entire scripts for two webtoons I'm planning and something like a poem book with different illustrations sooo I have to delay that idea for now °3°
Between: Love your drawings! was so shocked to see you here I had to check if its really you😂
me too! no way lmao
Go for it, good luck
Jouvru Yes gurl u DO that, I support u 100%! ✨💕
I woke up one day a couple months ago and realized i want to write a manga, dunno why. xD still hasn't happened
I love this video! And she’s amazing! Congratulations on finishing your first draft. That’s a huge accomplishment. 🥂👏🏻
This was soo inspiring. I've been working on a novel for several years, I started it in middle school...now, I'm a college sophomore, and it needs sooo much work. I actually had to re-write it three times because life happened and it got lost/destroyed three times. Now, its done but all it really is is bare bones, it is a story that is supposed to be deep and holds a lot of personal meaning...but, I was so young when I wrote it that I didn't really understand how to properly convey the level of emotion and personal growth that I had intended, this video has finally inspired me...I'm going to participate in Nanowrimo this year as I have said I was going to and really give the story in my mind the amount of fire and depth it sorely deserves, thank you for posting this and congrats on finishing!
I started NANO as a challenge to myself. Growing up as learning disabled and stuck in classrooms with students that required 24 hours of nursing care, students that couldn't feed themselves, or who needed police present during school hours left me feeling bitter and angry. I was always told I can't, but to me, NANO became a personal challenge, and I have hit the 50K mark 3/4. My reasons were just to say that I did and that I can. If I can do it, then so can anyone.
NoppertheBromat that’s is awesome and a message more need to hear and live by. We all have something to offer this world otherwise we’d never have been born. I’d love to know more about your book. Are you planning on getting it published or possibly self publishing on amazon?
NoppertheBromat Anyone can accomplish anything as long as they put their mind to it.
Of course you can. 💕
Took me longer than that to write my CV
Ellie Does Life no one cares
MarMar LikesBunnies chill out. That time of the month?
blade or maybe shes just commenting whatever she wants too lol.
Lovely * so commenting something that can bring someone down is acceptable?
blade really? "that time of the month"? maybe she's just angry because she's angry and not because she's on her period lmao
Good luck and good for you!! I don’t know you but I feel really proud of you x 👍🏻
Well look at you!🤗 You're a soldier! Your story was very encouraging. You went from someone who said you never finish anything to someone who finished a 50K manuscript! Me, I finish things but it takes me a long time.😥 I'm using this to pace myself. Wish me the best.
2300 words in less than two hours? 5000 IN A DAY? That alone would have taken me a week 😂😂
StarRoseAngelic Same.
Same
I guess that's why a proper plan is important... I never managed to do it since i didn't plan anything beforehand :(
I can easily write 5000 words in about an hour or so, but I have to have inspiration. Cause when you do, you lose track of time, and before you know it, you've written a whole chapter.
It takes me 3 days to write 3,000 words
I can’t even write an argumentative essay....
Same
Omg that’s what I have to write by tmw
that would take me a week withouth the deadlines
OMG ME
Lmao! Saaaame
it is almost one year later....still at buzzfeed? gonna do year 2? a sequel to the first book?
I can’t even write 3000 words in 30 days😂
When I start NaNoWriMo: I’m going to write a novel in a month!
When I end NaNoWriMo: 50,000 words is only the tip of the iceberg, my book is nowhere near done!

Same ! I feel like as my imagination runs the more I think could happen 😂😂
I have always wanted to write a book...

I am a ravenclaw which is why i chose the blue one. How about you?
Thanks for the tips! I have had it planned out for a while now but never got to it because I was scared of writers block.

Yea you got this!
5:20 Iol I started freaking out the moment I thought you were going to click the backspace button with your head 😂
For those too intimidated by 50,000:
You could always try Camp Nano!
It's a more flexible version where YOU set the goal, runs in the months of April and July 😊
Ace Parks I would do 25,000 words. Not 50,000. It may be a novella to some but at least I could finish it.
Too bad it’s September :’|
I want to buy that book. Hopefully it’s in hardcover.

Did it come out though

Rainbow Dram sameee
ME TOO
I love this video so much! Whenever I feel demotivated, I watch it
I actually did this a year ago, I still have nightmares
How did you keep your inspiration up? How did you even come up with an outline? I don’t ever feel inspired anymore now that I’m out of college and feel like I just stare at a blank cursor whenever I try to write.
Hey there! I haven't written in a while but what used to keep my inspiration up was spending time reading things i really liked! What I'm doing right now to get back into it is describing the situation around me as if it was a scene in a book (yes, even bland things like taking the bus in the morning!) It makes me see stories where i didn't see stories before and i find that I'm being a lot more creative recently!
Honestly... my best solution to this is to just write a scene of something you really really want to write about.... and then force yourself to go from that to slapping words on a page for your real story
hmm... I'm one month late?? lol.. I had the same situation as you back then. Now, I'm proud even though what I'm writing is only a draft. for 2 separate books!! (screaming) but what got me inspired was a recent friend of mine who also writes a book :) and I also got inspired by reading books, and my own dreams when I sleep at night😂 just sharing. very much hoping that you'll get yours! 💖 goodluck💕you can do it.
I've been doing NaNoWriMo for about 8 years now and it is SO amazing and rewarding. Thanks for making a video about this and bringing more media attention to it. Congratulations on your win!!
Her 8k words were only written in 2 days, meanwhile I have 8k words in my novel and I've been writing it for two weeks. 😶
I've been trying to finish my novel for about 3 months and I'm internally screaming too because of my writer's block but I think your video rocccks and it've given me just the motivation I need ♥ much love for you and your hair color xD
TWO TWINS!? YOU MEAN TWINS?
Vanshikalikestowrite i thought this too hahaha poor start for a writer :p
Lol that’s what I was thinking too
@@leithelh1417 There's a big difference between how we speak and how we write
CritiquingCricket there shouldn’t be lol
@@leithelh1417 So you've never used slang? Never been in an area where a different vernacular or dialect of English is spoken, yet everyone is taught to write the same "standard" English? Speaking and writing are two completely different phenomena. Every single person speaks in a way that is grammatically incorrect, because at the very least, we all speak primarily in run on sentences.
I completed NaNoWriMo my freshman year of high school. Probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. Loved it, but I get it. To anyone wanting to do this, embrace the struggle into your writing.
Now buzzfeed this is the kind of content I’m wanting to watch! Anything about Art, writing, books, authors, writers all that! 💜
Amazing! You have inspired me to try the challenge this year! It's crazy what you can accomplish when put under time restraints!
I did the NanoWrimo challenge to write 30,000 words (for kids) and reached 20,000 words... Still proud tho!!
I started writing my novel a month ago and wrote three chapters right at the beginning. Since then I've been brainstorming but scared to continue so I haven't written a word since. I feel like I need to think everything through before continuing because I want everything to connect nicely, but I think most writers just make it up as they go along and go back at the end? I'm new to this, and I have serious commitment issues with the story I'm going for, haha.
I'm quite new to this too and have the same issue. But I've had quite a few people to tell me to just write and see where the characters take me. Editing and multiple drafts are for clean ups and edits. The whole concept and plot could change while you're editing because another idea that seems better presents itself as you're writing. That's why I'm just writing and seeing where everyone (the characters) take me, what journey they decide to go on. Because I have a strong plot idea after like chapter 3, but the original set up to lead me to the big event that really pushes the plot, I honestly am not sure what's going to happen. I also oddly jump around as I write, I'm not always writing the chapters in order, I find it helps to just write what I'm inspired about right now. Then go back and help piece it all together, not sure if that'll help or not.
Try just writing about your characters (not part of your book). Just things about their past experiences and how they felt about them. It will help you get a better feel of where your story is going and also maybe help you come up with more ideas!
Thanks for the tips! I have a particular storyline with characters in mind so I don't think I want to go off meandering in different directions though. I can always edit and trim, but that's a painful process.
That is a good idea! I might just do that. I already have most of my main characters mapped out though, but it will undoubtedly help.
I always ask myself: What would my character do?
And if you don't know the answer to that, than I would develop my character more.
What an interesting and emotional video, thank you for it!))
I won the last WriMo and going to write this time.
I love this challenge 💖
This is one of the best buzzfeed videos like this I’ve seen in years
so real, haha. WOOHOOOOOOOO you finished
Good for you for not giving up!!! I love Nano. I've participated for 4 years now. Every year I have made the goal. But the last 3 my goal has not been 50,000 words, but usually 150,000. I generally hit 50,000 words by middle of week 2. And this is because the region that I am a part of is awesome. There are write-ins every single day of November, and that is the only time that I write during the month. It is the feeling of having people around you who are doing the same thing as you, and supporting you in it, while you support them.
I love Nano. I look forward to it every year, even though it can be exhausting at times.
As a wattpad writer, thats actually not a bad idea.
This was super fun to watch, congratulations!🎉
I probably can’t even write 50 words in a week.😂
Ive been stressing because I have to write a 4000 word artist assignment thing for next October and then I watch this and think, wow I'm weak. #IB #extendedessay
Oh, I remember the pain of those good old IB days from over a decade ago!
Writing a book takes time to build some ideas on when you're writing, I remember writing a book for three or four days and I was up to over 100 words and I didn't even know it. Just take your time and don't rush into things, ideas for a book is about patience and knowing what you're writing.
I'm glad that you still did the challenge, so proud.
I’m young and I really enjoy writing short novels and your really inspirational I’m going to continue writing my novel and start a new one thanks a lot
Her friends have the most sweetest reactions 😣😣 need that support in my life

You should check Honoré de Balzac's effective but crazy writing routine. He wrote 85 novels in 20 years.

Your book sounds so great, and I'm so sad I can't read it becouse I'm so far away... But what an a accompplishment! I'm such a lazy writer, but this gives me inspiration, btw who else here just loves the sound of writing on a laptop?
