    There are so many people who think "I'm in college, so I don't have enough experience to write anything."
    Taking this leap and doing it for yourself because you want to find your voice and learn. That's a type of perseverance that everyone could learn from. Thank you, Zoe!

      If it gets a lot of views it's possible to get published by publishers that work with WattPad, if you didn't get published.

  • @Nihel19
    @Nihel19 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    YES FOR DIVERSITY GIRL! And I'm glad you talked about it. It is an issue but the fact that you are able to shed some light on it proves that you are aware of it and that you're going to do something about it :)

  • @cosyclouds
    @cosyclouds 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Loved this. It was really cool to see your process through the first few days. Please continue to do these.

  • @northeastgirl100
    @northeastgirl100 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was so much fun to watch! I love how relatable your experiences in this vlog are. Even though I've never tried writing a novel before, the struggles you have with getting distracted, feeling (un)inspired, etc are something that I relate to so much!

  • @Emily-yp7xu
    @Emily-yp7xu 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    amen to diversity!!! i loved being able to watch the early stages of your writing process, best of luck to u!!!!!

  • @CharlieBookFanatic

    YES TO THE VLOGS. I got so excited. Now I want to work on my own story.

  • @bex3278
    @bex3278 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this, it's fascinating to see how people go about the writing process differently! Also I thought it was so important that you mentioned wanting your book to be as diverse as possible, good luck for the rest of writing it, I'm sure it will be great!

  • @BooksAndWhimsicals
    @BooksAndWhimsicals 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    these vlogs were so fun to watch!! it's always so interesting to hear other people's writing processes.
    I have the same bad habit of under-describing things and how I sometimes try and combat it is if I am trying to describe a specific place (like an apartment or something) I'll take out a notebook and write ONLY about what the place looks like/feels like and then I'll try and interweave it into the story. It's super tedious but it's legit the only way I can get myself to properly describe anything lol

  • @itskamilahhh
    @itskamilahhh 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG yes! Not a lot of book tubers like YA contemporary books, but that is my FAVORITE genre. Im so excited. Btw: When I hear Gina from wattpad, I flipped! I am following her on wattled. She is one of my favorite writers. ALL her books are just yeeeessss

  • @damnjoon2808
    @damnjoon2808 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Zoe!! Download on your mac an app called 'self control' you can block certain websites for a certain amount of time. I use it when I need to focus, it's brilliant!!

  • @jennifercahill7397
    @jennifercahill7397 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    You'd love the writing program Scrivener. It's super organized! Welcome to the world of writing. Making Pinterest boards, visiting baby name sites, browsing Twitter and social media while you are writing, and being distracted constantly are all NATURAL. Trust me ;) Good for you to branching out. I hope it will be a fun and unique experience for you! I do Camp and regular every year.

  • @sunsetxsong
    @sunsetxsong 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this vlog! This is the kind of vlog that I hope for whenever a youtube makes videos about writing. Even though you are vague, you still invite us into your experience so we can follow you along as you try to write this book. Great video :) Good luck with nano!

  • @aryondcrazy101
    @aryondcrazy101 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I am so in love how you want to make your book diverse and how you mention that life isn't just one race with one sexuality if you ever decide to release this book i would totally read it! Also how do you stay to motivated? i'm just like hitting 6,000 words and it's almost day 7!!!! lol love you and this vlog hope to see many more!

  • @natalieprice2201

    your hair looks really good when you don't do anything to it, actually! so cute!
    any it's so cool how much you've been able to write! I never manage to write more than a few pages until I abandon whatever I've been writing

  • @user-wz6ld4ld1j
    @user-wz6ld4ld1j 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was wonderful. Literally, I can relate so much. I love dialogue and characters and I find description super hard! I'm also watching this vlog instead of writing my book, but whatever. Great video, thank you Zoe.

  • @alexalovesbooks
    @alexalovesbooks 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ABlackbirdsBooks 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @adea5694
    @adea5694 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    do more of these! they are so cute and relatable, I know very well the struggles of starting a novel, and believe me, its worse because i am a panser always surprising herself with what I write

  • @itscatherinemonroe1
    @itscatherinemonroe1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    i'm so happy that you're worrying about making it diverse, because there's a lot of other booktubers writing books right now and that doesn't seem to be something they think about.
    good luck with your book!

  • @ohsoabby4689
    @ohsoabby4689 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good luck Zoe! So excited to read something by you one day. I'm thinking about doing Camp NaNoWriMo in July because I could never do NaNoWriMo and school, but I have a story idea.

  • @emilycrowther1100
    @emilycrowther1100 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @NeighborhoodMoon
    @NeighborhoodMoon 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This honestly inspired me to continue the story I've been writing for a long time but have been a slug on! I'm gonna sit my but down, drink some coffee, and probably download writers block because I get distracted sometimes 🙈

  • @elizatalmage6985
    @elizatalmage6985 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh my gosh, I love this video, it's so interesting to see your writing process. Also, a "how write an outline" video would be cool!

  • @daddeezgirl626
    @daddeezgirl626 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is my biggest writing fears is over describing too, I hate describing things because of it.
    Also if I can offers some advice for when you are suffering from writing block is try writing a chapter in a different characters POV, it has always worked for me. Maybe it will work for you.

  • @aftercollege3437

  • @ReneeTopanga
    @ReneeTopanga 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I feel like when it comes to description play with two senses. like if it's a hospital room you can say it smells like bleach and the floors are scrubbed clean like they're trying to hide a recent sickness and add adjectives depending on the tone. that way you get a feeling and a description of the room without too much imagery

  • @luisai858
    @luisai858 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @mariahcampbell2813
    @mariahcampbell2813 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I hope you reach your goal! Good luck!!

      +Plethora Of Nonsense Definitely join in July's camp if you get an idea over the summer! Or, if you come up with one halfway through April, join this month! It's so much fun :D

  • @agatastanosz2657
    @agatastanosz2657 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just love this vlog. It so cool to see others writing a novel just like I am. Idk, every writer has almost the same struggles and i love seeing that I am not the only one :D Your video is a huge motivation for me, because often I'm just too lazy to write anything, even though I have a pretty good idea haha. Anyway, you're amazing, Zoe, and, I hope you'll write an excellent novel and maybe one day I will buy it

  • @LudiVegas
    @LudiVegas 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @foa2301
    @foa2301 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hahaha baby naming websites are literally the best. And I totally know what you mean about not having to say a book is diverse, they just should be!! it shouldn't be a thing because the world should be perfect but it should be because things are not perfect, y'know?
    Have you ever thought about writing plays or something because of how you like dialogue? I have the opposite problem, I LOVE description and love writing it!

  • @abbyj6335
    @abbyj6335 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you're getting distracted, try to block out noise with music (with no lyrics if that distracts you as much as me). Also maybe download FocusWriter, which doesn't allow you to go on other sites. I love the idea of the blocking app! I'm off to download that now.
    Good luck, you can do this!

    I wrote the first chapter of my my book yesterday and finished the chapter at 2 a.m this morning. Why am I still up? Because I'm literally going nuts trying to get inspired for my novel. It's a romance novel between two guys. 😖that is too much info. Sorry nervous because this is my first time commenting on one of your videos. I really like you.😶You're videos have really been encouraging for me. 😄

    Ah, the scrap-everything-you-have-and-write-a-new-story phase. I get that all the time. I think it's a good idea, but then I start thinking about it harder and longer, and then I'm like, "Yeah, this idea *sucks*."

    I'm actually trying to write a book too! But the thing is that my mom changed the password on my laptop so now I can't get in it and type:(. And she doesn't understand that some people can't write books when they have already typed some of it out. But yeah, best of luck on your book! (And sorry for rambling a bit.)

  • @BenSandersSaysHello
    @BenSandersSaysHello 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Zoe! I love your videos and I can't wait to see what happens with your book. If you're looking for a lot of quality writing tips check out Jenna Moreci's and Kim Chance's TH-cam channels! They both have a ton of great content and I've used there tips while I was working on my NaNoWriMo Novel last November. (Which I finished and am now editing/revising!) I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the writing process so much and look forward to your next update. =)

    • @readbyzoe
