    I usually create a music playlist inspired by the events and chapters happening in my story. It keeps me motivated and more focused.

      Day three of replying to old comments and seeing if they reply how old are you

    I feel you. two tips I always follow; write the part you're most excited for first. And daydream about your story even when you aren't writing. Good luck!

    Whenever I need inspiration to do some writing today on my story I watch your NaNoWriMo vlogs.

    The best thing for writer's block is to write anything and get over it no matter what you write.

      I have to hope that will work. Camp NaNoWriMo just started & it's my first time. I wrote over 1,000 words tonight but all of it was just words. I'm just going to keep writing and hope it turns into something

    Change all the words when Kat says "write" to live or life....
    Her NaNoWrimo speech turns into life advice.

    The solution in my fan fiction writing is just throw down ideas what happens next, how certain crises are resolved in an expedient manner, and how each scene plays from the participating characters' perspective no matter how stupid or ridiculous or illogical they may seem when conceived. Those ideas might turn out to not be so stupid once put on paper. The ones that are still stupid, just get rid of and don't look back, while working on improving the not so stupid ideas.

    Being...ehrm...rather brutally behind quota so far (did NOT expect such a IEM [internal editor monster]) im staying motivated by idea for climax. Gonna go into scary woods alone for inspiration when im ready to write it o.o

    Yay plaid shirt and yay necklace that you always wear - it is pretty :) I was having a tough time writing yesterday, too. I was blocked because I was not really clear about what my characters wanted and so I wrote 400 words trying to process it and then browsed youtube and never went back to it T_T so we are terrible people together. Here is a mean comment for you - I am sort of glad you had a stumbling block so that you didn't get WAY too ahead of me like you already are, lol!

    Also realized watching brandon sanderson writing lectures on youtube before nanowrimo was a bad idea. Fed my IEM like none other :/

    For some reason, i feel as if you are making these vlogs from a library because of the background.
