Ana, I just want to say that I'm so extremely grateful for all your amazing videos, and your hard work. You are the reason I started writing again, a passion of mine that I forgot about a long time ago. I really can't find the words to tell you how thankful I am that I've found your channel. Thank you so much! 🤍😭 (P.S. I wish you a Wonderfull stay in the Netherlands!)

Hey @ana neu wanted to say thank you for giving me the motivation to actually write my debut novel which might be coming out soon. As a young writer too I just wanted to say thank you for helping my get the courage to write
Im glad to see someone else loves ancient prophecies too 😭😭I have an ancient prophecy in my story but all I see is people saying prophecies are overused and boring BUT I LIKE IT OKAY? xD
i'm currently trying to write a fantasy novel (emphasis on trying lol) and i've been bingeing your videos. rly cannot express how much these videos have helped me as i begin this process!! watching your content inspires me to write more often and try to write a novel for the first time :D
I feel like seeking shelter could also be a tension creator, good or bad. if you want romantic elements, close vicinity works well and also if you want angst between a group of characters, keeping people in the same space creates friction.
I came up with this idea the weirdest way like I had this very very vivid dream about it and I was so upset because I had to wake up to catch the bus for school but as soon as I woke up I like was furiously scribbling down the idea cause I forget things so easily. I still need to write that book haha
2:53 I actually had something similar happen for my book that I’m making😊 the city they live in is underground because it used to be in a place where it was always raining, which overtime, caused the city to sink into the ground after the dirt softened into mud and didn’t have the strength to hold it up anymore😊 btw, they named it ‘DemonVille’ bc it was taken over by demons which are basically like the demons from demon slayer only not them lol and the reason they took it over is because it sunk, protecting them from the sun. I hope you like it so far🙂
I’m really happy i discovered your channel about a year ago, because I have improved my writing skills overtime, with your helpful vids! This video literally gave me a fantasy novel idea, which is CRAZZZYYY!!
I just entered a writing competition and I got last place I have no clue where I should go from here. I was wondering you could do a video to help with dealing with the people who don’t support you
ana's made some videos on writing self doubt but from one to another my best piece of advice would be to just remember that competitions and contests can be great exercises but shouldn't be taken to heart as evaluation of your work! if you're insecure about your work, the best thing to do is to figure out if its you who doesn't like you're own work or if you're insecure that other's don't! if you think you lack in an area, there are plenty people who you can reach out to to help you improve or just chat with about self doubt (myself included if you need)!
Heyy, it's totally fine if you were last, that doesn't mean you were the worst! After all, someone has to be last. It could be that all the stories were good but they had to pick someone! Always try to keep this or another postive mindset. Like the other commentor @joonnhee said, Ana made such videos, you should defs watch them! And maybe you could ask the jury for advice, since they're the jury they probably have experience. I'm not sure if they will respond, that probably depends on the popularity of the contest. Just keep writing, watch more vids from Ana, I learned a lot from her, keep participating in these contests... You'll see how you get better over time.
@@siennayapsI definitely need to try to keep a more positive mindset. I asked my teacher if I could see the score sheet so I am hoping that will help me realize some of my errors. Thank you
Those kind of competitions are usually not fair. The judges all have their own book tastes and opinions. AND dont be surprised if they didnt even bother to read your story (especially if it's a big competition) cuz that's what some competitions do, sadly... There might be other people out there who might fall in love with your writing style! Don't stop writing! THIS RANDOM INTERNET STRANGER IS SUPPORTING YOU!! (Oh, Ive read your other comment so I guess the judge was your teacher? Still, the thing about judges having their own prejudgments and opinions stays.)
In my book, my characters attend a ball to steal an element. And in their group, the skilled theif is a friend of the prince. Andrea obviosly dosen't spoil her plans after dancing with the prince, she simply goes and steals it.
Thank you so much for this video. Some ideas just crossed my mind while watching. I've wrote them all down. I've just subscribed a few days ago and it helped me a lot to get more serious about my writing. I've been plotting and brainstorming every day since subscribing.
Ive honestly felt so inspired by your video ! I’m a world building nerd and struggle so much with plot building, but all these plot points made it so very easier :)
Omg I was in your instagram live yesterday, which was alot of fun, and i didnt expect an amazing video like this!! Thank you for everything, I LOVE YOU GIRL
I love your videos, your channel literally makes me wanna expand my imaginary stories that are in my head when I am only a reader, but I’ll watch these even if I don’t end up writing because it’s so entertaining 😂
i have a ghost! well not really. they're just dead. ghosts don't really exist in the world i built, they're just wandering dead souls. one of the mains is a 'ghost' and his twin brother is immortal, so that's fun.
THANK YOU! At this point i was soing random stuff to my main charecter and changing everything up! It felt so shabby and i hated it, defo going to use some of this! Lysmm thank youu
needed this LMAO, because C.S. Pacat's "Dark Rise" series is making me cry (highly recommend btw) and book 3 isn't out yet 😭 so I'm recovering by starting more fantasy :D thanks for sharing 🤍 enjoy Netherlands!!
I am writing my first childrens book and i am using your videos to help me and they really help! (though my chapters were geeting too short and my tone sounded more chidish which is why i made it a childrends book XD)
Interesting choice. I have most of these is in my stories and as for a surprise attack? Oh yeah, they just dealt with angry werewolves and a Wendigo, now, they are dealing with a massive level 3 Redcap hoard.....talk about tiring. It isnt often battles happen and like, i even didn't see this one coming. great list.
heyy, would you feel comfortable making a video about your experience in the netherlands? like fav spots/ culture shock/ etc? I love your writing vlogs and i feel like this would be very fun too :))) Hope you'll feel better soon!!
Hey, thanks for that. Im already so excited for ghostcide, can you pls do a video about selfpublishing or how you do it? I m insecuring the shooting plott in my novel right now. Im writing a Western novel so sadly i cant put ghosts in that because its no fantasy. Its about a gang of outlaws and the main Charackters big brother is in that gang. So the girl, my mc is joining the gang before knowing that her brother knows the brother of the leader of the gang. She fells in love with the leader, if someone is interested
In the story I'm currently working on the Villain's son is on the good guys team but he betrays them except he doesn't actually want to but his dad is Manipulating him so he spends like the whole next book in the series trying to redeem himself
these ideas are amazing... thank you! Can you make a video where you can share some free writing platforms that are aesthetic and can help a lot in brainstorming? i'll truly be grateful... 🍿
6:50 OKOKOK WAIT HEAR ME OUT!!! SO WE COULD HAVE A SIDE CHARECTER OR LIKE MCS GOOD FRIEND CARRY TH RELIC UNKOWNINGLY WHILE MC WAS ON A QUEST FOR THAT OBJECT AND THE OBJECT TURNED THEM ALL AGAINST EACHOTHERRRRRRR
Heya! New subscriber here! I just wanted to say that I LOVE your voice and I think it would be really cool if you were able to read a part of Project Ghost and somehow get it on the Calm app. I know someone who uses the app to sleep and I think it would be REALLY cool if you did that! I know it would take lots of hard work but it would just be really cool! Not trying to pressure you to do it but I just thank that would be fun!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hi ana, i need some advice. I don’t usually comment but I’m struggling. I’m writing my book and it’s 18K long.

I’m on a ipad using google docs, If you could get back to me. That would be amazing. Thank you for taking the time to read this❤

I feel like seeking shelter could also be a tension creator, good or bad. if you want romantic elements, close vicinity works well and also if you want angst between a group of characters, keeping people in the same space creates friction.
ooh the ball scene is exactly what i needed for a stealing scene

Idk if anybody has already done this, but someone should just compile a list of the plot ideas in google docs or smth so that they're all together.
that "my boyyy" was very unexoected but funnily enough one of my fav scenes from the harry potter series🥹🤌🏼 love you ana!!
