#authortube
“I’m such a bad writer. That was literally poop on a stick.” 😂😂 ughh so relatable. Grateful you’re so candid about your process and your feelings along the way! Great job for giving yourself space and returning to it and not giving up!! We’re so harsh with ourselves sometimes.
Congratulations !
thank you!! thoughts like those can be so discouraging sometimes so i’m doing my best to not let them fester and to instead just accept that sometimes what i write will absolutely be 💩 but that doesn’t make me a bad writer, just a writer who sometimes writes bad things! and on top of that what i put out on paper can always be improved!
@@sincerelyvee yess !! love that!!
It's so exciting to see the first round of beta readers already happening!! It's also very inspiring and I can't wait to get to that point as well one day. Congratulations for finishing yet another draft, and happy holidays!
thank you so much!!❤️ glad it can inspire you!! happy holidays
'Literally poop on a stick' 😄 aw bless you. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family x

I know I’m a little late, but huge congrats on finishing draft 2, Vee! The video was super aesthetic and fun to watch, as always! 💕
aw thank you so much!!❤️
It would be a really cool video idea if subscribers can send in a story excerpt and general description of their books and you rate how exciting the story sounds
ooo great suggestion!! i’ll definitely consider doing something like this!
congrats on your story and write now I'm writing my four stories that I've been wanting to finish for fives years, since I found your channel, I just been rewatching your videos because they inspire me to write during my writing session. thank you for inspiring to continue to write and I hope I can finish this four stories I have (3 are scripts and 1 is novel). you're just amazing youtuber and the 1st authortuber that I found
aw tysm!! so happy they're inspiring you to write!! best of luck with what you're working on :) also your character's gorgeous!
Congrats Vee and getting so far with your project! Thanks for sharing your process for finding beta readers, definitely will be helpful when I get to that step in my writing :)
Congratulations on finishing the draft!! Im so excited for you 💕💕

@@sincerelyvee your welcome and thank you for replying back to my comment have a great day
I'm late to the party with the commenting, but congratulations on getting your first round of beta readers! I'm so excited for you!
thank you so so much!!!🥰
@@sincerelyvee you're welcome! I'm working on a story called Celestial Knights: Defenders of Agratha and are you writing a fantasy series?
AMAZING!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
I am a writer and after I bumped in to your channel a week ago, I've been binge watching your videos eversince. I saw that video where you had Africafe and I knew you are either from Tanzania or someone close to you is.
I saw your surname today, 'Wambura' and I thought you should know...I'm also a Wambura 😍😍😍. I was shocked but happy to see that.
I've been loving your videos a lot...very helpful.
And I also thought you should know that I also watch Abbie Emmon's videos.
Anyways...love love your content 💕
omg that’s SO COOL woah!!🤗 i’ve never met anyone outside my family with the same last name haha. ty for commenting, i’m so glad you did!!💗
@@sincerelyvee I've met only two people lately. You're the third. ❤
I'm not great at multitasking, either! And also glad to hear there's someone else who can't listen to music while writing. Because I can't, especially not if the song has LYRICS.
Oh, and I'm also looking for beta readers with no luck! If someone would like to beta read my 65k dark YA fantasy, kindly contact me.
especially if it has lyrics, exactly!!! if you’re still looking for beta readers you could try joining a beta reader facebook group if you haven’t already or the beta reader group on goodreads!
@@sincerelyvee Thanks for the tips! I've found a few amazing beta readers through Reddit :)
@@writer_surabhi_singh oh that's awesome!!! i never thought about using reddit, that's amazing!!
@@sincerelyvee Using Reddit as an only option made life a thousand times harder for me, but the r/betareaders and r/writingcommunity subreddits were amazing!
hi! so from a very nervous writer, i'm working on my draft one. i started it randomly yesterday and i'm already on chapter 8, page 44, with 9,878 words. everytime i look at someone else's document, they have over 20,000 words and their only on chapter 9 or 10. should i be adding more detail, or should i just relax and review this when i'm on draft two? thank you, from a reeling and aspiring author
hey :) that’s totally okay!! i tend to underwrite all my earlier drafts too and am able to add so many more as i continue to do revisions!😊 all the best with your writing
💜💜
I love watching your progress! It's inspiring!
I'm looking for a critique partner, but I'm not on Facebook so I'm not sure where to look. When you look for swaps, do like to stay in your genre?
other good places to look are goodreads, reddit and twitter! and yes, personally i prefer swapping within my genre!
I will love someone to beta read and swap with. I don’t have any critique partners right now.
What genre do you write in? I'm looking for critique swap, too!
@@writer_surabhi_singh I write in fantasy
@@meghancarlson1360 Same! Is there a way I could beta read your novel?
Is there anyway someone can write your first chapter for you, I’m completely stomped on how to start😩
MOOD🤣 honestly tho, when i’m super stumped on a chapter, it helps me to skip it and move on because 9/10 i’ll find inspiration along the way for the chapter that i was stuck on!
Ahhh I'm early
🥰🥰
What is a beta reader ?explain?
a beta reader is someone who will read and critique your book before you decide it's ready to be published. they will tell you if you have any plot holes, if your characters seem believable, if they find anything doesn't make sense in your book, so you can fix it and make your story as best as it can be! :)
@@awakenmystory thanks you so much for telling me what a beta reader is have a great day?
Where do I find beta readers? I want someone who isn’t friends or family so they are unbiased but can’t seem to find anyone
i feel the same way!! you could try joining facebook beta reading groups or the ones on goodreads! you could also find some on twitter by posting a tweet with a blurb of your story and asking if anyone would be interested in reading it🤍 good luck!
I also struggle with this! What genera do you write, maybe we could critique partner?
