Yes these videos are motivational Kristen! Absolutely loved the self care tips at the beginning since I tend to always forget to take care of myself whenever I’m on a deadline whether that be NaNo, school work, etc. Definitely will be trying to get better at that with these tips. Thanks again so much for all your positivity, for inspiring us, and for just being there when we need you the most. In turn we’re always here for you, cheering you and your books on! 💙
I really love your hair curly! It's so beautiful!
Literally Unperfect ♥️♥️♥️
Kristen!!! 🤗
This Nano, I completed a novella (25,505 words) in 11 days! Using the first half of this month to finish up grad school stuff.
Proud of you, hun!!!
Angel Mystique Wow! Proud of you too! 👏🏼🤗
I love how you did this nano series. Writing is tough and can bring so much to the surface and it was really helpful seeing how you tackling everything as it came up.
I love your tip about making your writing goals for the next day. I actually am applying this to the way I plan my days and to-do lists. I usually plan my weeks on Sundays when I'm relaxed and ambitious, but usually fall off by Wednesday. By checking in w/ myself at night and planning just the next day allows me to be more realistic and also makes me more psyched for the next day.
Thanks for all the videos and congrats on your win!
Kiaya Freeze Thank you so much! I appreciate that more than you know!
Congratulations on winning Nano! I have watched every single video and want to say thank you for sharing your life with us and keeping us motivated! I have serious office envy by the way! I won Nano with just over 52k words! My first Nano and my first novel! My emotions were all over the place in November but when I saw that that an experienced author like you had some of the same issues, it helped me not to get discouraged. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I look forward to following more of your journey!
Donna Parrish Your kind words gave me all the warm fuzzies ☺️😍 Thank you!
Definitely would love to see vlogs when Camp NaNo comes along. These videos helped keep me going this year. This was my first NaNoWriMo and I won! My total was 71,124. I couldn't be more excited. Your videos have been a huge help! Thank you!
Tiffani Feathers Dang, you go girl! 70K is a HUGE accomplishment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can't believe that NaNorWriMo is over! It was so much fun to follow you along - and so inspiring! Love love love it. And I love your curly hair - you look so beautiful with it! ❤️
Sending you love from Berlin, Germany 💋
So This Is What ♥️♥️♥️
Congrats on your Nano win! Yes, I won too! It was really fun. I'm already excited about Nano 2019!
I am really tempted to try the scents, but in the last years I just couldn't get myself to switch my winter and summer perfume. For winter I have got the Gaultier² (sweet and heavy and soooo cozy) and for the summer Miss Dior (fresh and light).
It is great to hear that there are others who switch perfumes for the different seasons.
I wrote 30k during Nano.
Literally Unperfect CONGRATS! 🎉 👏🏼
congratulations!!! I would love for you to do more videos like this one.
Woo hoo congrats on winning NaNoWriMo. Well done! And thank you for the self care tips. Your videos are so inspiring. Loving the biker chick look. xx
Congratulations!! Last year I didn't win NaNoWriMo, but I accomplished my goal to get as much written before I ran into a research block, so I felt I won in that sense. I'm hoping to do Camp NaNo next year to bust out the rest of the book. Thanks for your inspiration and all your beauty hacks!
Congrats for winning I did too. but have to still write last 3 chapters I was losing stream, but have them mapped out just have to regroup a bit then I will have the entire 1st draft done. Love your curly hair I have the same it can be a pain, but love it, thanks for the tips on DIY self-care I need to try that hair mask. I guess Costco is in my plans tomorrow. lol
Nancie Walker-Pirner That’s awesome! You’re so close 🤗 You’ve got this!
This was so great! I really loved this format that you did through NaNoWriMo, getting snippets of each day compiled into a weekly entry was really fun and motivating for me to watch, and I'd love to see you do it again for Camp in July! Oh, and congratulations on your win!!!
msgreek mythgeek Thank you got the feedback! I really appreciate it ☺️
Awesome! Loving your videos. I wrote over 18k during NaNo! I am so excited and count it as a win for myself. I've never done it before and I am a homeschooling mom of 4 kids!
dellieborton 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So proud of you!!!
@@AuthorKristenMartin thank you so much!!
I wrote 25 000 words but Idc I finished my first draft and I'm over the moon! Go Writers!
Griffin George Heck yes! Congrats on 25K! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I will have to try the coconut oil for hair now that we have a water softener. I have done it twice but it was SO hard to get out of my hair. We have extremely hard water and I think that may have been why.
Nice video idea! It's easy to forget about self care because there's always more work to do... A self care tip if you want to embrace your natural curls: Try an Olaplex treatment! I heard it works wonders to restore the natural curl pattern (I wouldn't know because my hair is pin straight, but it helped a lot with damage from bleach and removing frizz for me).
Always great advice Kristen!! And Congratulations on winning NaNoWriMo. This is the second year in a row that I tried to do NaNoWriMo and I failed. :-( I'm signing up for Valiance next year!! Birthday gift to myself. I can't wait!! My June present! I'm going to be the best student ever!! And I will win NaNoWriMo in 2019!!
I wish Scentbird was available in the UK, I would totally sign up for that!!
Congrats! Love your curly hair. I'm a curly hair girl as well
Paula Stoianovici Yesss! Curly haired girls unite! 👩🏻🦱👩🏼🦱👩🏽🦱
Congratulations! I'm so glad you finiahed on the positive message about progress. I only managed 15k myself in November, but I've been telling people all month that I'm happy with whatever word count means I'm moving forward.
I would love to see similar vlogs in months where you do revisions too. To see if you still work on a word count or an hourly or page count, and how you keep momentum in a different headspace. Because drafting and revising are so different.
I also have to ask... I was looking at where you sit compared to where your keyboard is and wondering, fo you ever get sore wrists/arms from that angle? I've been struggling with it myself. I find that if I pull my keyboard closer my wrists hury from the dropped angle, but if I push it back my arms are raised and my shoulders and neck hurt more. Do you have any experience with this, and if so, any tips?
Yay! Important message to end on too, everyone wins if they wrote words on their book
Audrey Denholm Exactly!! Hope you’re doing well, love! 😘
Kristen Martin I am...although revisions are kicking my butt right now 🙄
Congrats for NaNo! Those beauty tips are amazing, coconut oil is a blessing. Have a blessed day, Kristen!
I use organic coconut oil as a face moisturiser and I use it in my curly hair instead of hair mousse. It’s the best!
Angel Domingos Love me some coconut oil! 🥥
Well done, Kristen! Congrats all around! 😄🙌 I also participated and won NaNo!
Dana Fraedrich Woohoo!! Awesome job!!
Great videos!! What software/applications do you use for your writing? Sorry if you've answered this previously...
Loved this year's nano videos! Congrats on winning again
oooh! All those DIY masks sounds amazing! I'm going to have to try them stat!
Kim Chance #lifechanging 🤩
Congrats on winning NaNo and finishing the novel Kristen!
Woohoo. Early video. Congrats on winning NaNo!
congratulations on winning nano! i loved the format of this video, i definitely plan on doing some of those hair and face masks, they sound great!! love how you just pushed through in the end and achieved your goals! you go girl!!
Books With Alyssa J ♥️♥️♥️
Awww congrats on your win! That’s the best feeling, especially a day early! ❤️❤️
Author Samantha Davidson Thank you! It felt so good ☺️☺️
Congratulations on winning. I didn't participate this year, unfortunately. Between work and a full time class schedule with a professor from hell, there wasn't enough time in the day to dedicate to the process. Which I have mixed feelings about, but I know I made the right decision for me to sit this one out this year.
Amanda Ellis Gotta do what’s right for you! 😊
You look BEAUTIFUL in this hair ❤❤❤
Afaf N ♥️♥️♥️
I didn't win but I'm super proud of my 7,743.
Congratulations on winning Nano..
I too won. And thanks to you, for always motivating me.. :)
Love.journals ♥️♥️♥️
Congrats on winning NaNo!!
