Ive done the thing where my book actually starts five chapters in so cutting those first five. Always a good feeling!

What are your first chapter struggles?

AI!!!! how could you use that devilish thing??? I'm just kidding of course. As a first pass editor, or a spelling and grammar check, its a fantastic tool. I think the only morally grey area of using AI is to have it do the writing for you, then pass it off as your own. But as a basic editor, there is no real difference between it and a spell check in word. It's just faster. Otherwise, a good video. Thank you.

Ya know what. This is a really great video. Particularly, your examples are top notch.

I can't find this book online can you put a link

Very useful ideas. Thank you.

I love the catch up and all the details about what you're doing and the like. I feel like right now I'm slowly starting to get to a point where I might be ready to try more ads but it's just finding time and energy to learn them! 😅

This was super helpful! Thank you!

You've got this x

Really liked this because it's true that you get caught up in everything being perfect and it doesn't need to be.

Hi Rachel, Thank you. This is the most helpful and sound advice I have found. I've recently started doing my first draft quickly, with no edits. I even successfully used Dragon and Google to dictate some of it. I don't re-read it now, except to see where I am up to and occasionally remind myself of a minor character name. My previous attempts are sitting in a drawer, stalled, waiting patiently. Question:- Do you write a chapter and then tidy it up? Or do you do the whole book first?

One of the best writing advice.

Do you do any coaching?

You have helped me with this more than anyone else I have listened to on RUclips or classes I have paid for. Thank you for being so clear and generous with your information.

Say new paragraph and also, I say period, rather than full stop.

Congratulations on finishing your book!

Very helpful video. I tried Dragon in the past. It was so inaccurate, I gave up. I gave up on Word for the reasons you mentioned. My computer has been at the repair shop, so I've been writing by hand. I was dreading typing 35 pages when it comes back. Now I have a solution. Thanks!

Glad progress has been had, and glad the ads are working out for you. Hoping for a good week for both of us! Back to work tomorrow after sone much needed days off!

Watching videos about writing really helps me remember to stay focused. I find it very helpful to see others making progress and staying focused.

Great video, I will definitely be following this journey and cheering you on. I also want to read Theodora Taylor's book. I'm also trying to level up my author career. Very interested in the Matt Holmes Facebook Ad course now!

Nice to see how you work, I did dictation years ago, and putting the punctuation and such in was very annoying but glad you've found a way to do that

Keep posting and eventually you will get there

Great video. I briefly tried it and very impressed with the results. With decades of journal writing, I'm planning to dictate these journals into Obsidian. I'm trying to write fiction, and I guess it takes practice to get into exploring the story through talking instead of writing.

You are an excellent teacher! Thanks for sharing such helpful information.

I have been trying to get my channel monetized. Good luck

Yay glad things are working out for you! Good luck with the upcoming week! 🎉

I've been very lucky to work with as editors when it comes to learning how to describe succinctly. But these are all great tip! ❤

Over describing only pisses me off when it's done in a sentence which obviously over describes to the point of breaking rhythm to add an adjective or adverb in a connotative flow. The AI is strong now, but it still can't balance out all the different nuances which makes honest prose human.

Glad things are moving along. Hoping this coming week is good for you!

I need to find the time and money to do ad courses, I've done Bryan's once but Facebook etc might be an option. Will be followng along with this and cheering you on! You got this! 🎉

20000words！😮English words?

"Mr.Carson" Billie voiced" That's literally it.

Hey Rachel. We are on the same road to the monetization and you are ahead :) Will be a pleasure to follow your journey 🎉

I always have a lot of looks and knows and will go through and take out a whole lot of them! 😅

🎉

I tried it years back with Dragon but I much prefer typing and I don't ever really want to do big word days because my brain just goes nope! 😅 Good to know how it's done tho!

Have you tried dictation?

This was an excellent explanation. And I enjoyed your telling of how you developed your character's misbeliefs through backstory.

Glad you had such a productive time! It's something I'd like to do one day just finding energy (and money, and accessbility) 😅

Hi, thanks for this video, I’ve always baulked at doing the digital SPF - not sure why… You’ve inspired me to sign up! 😊

It was great to see you there, Rachel! And yeah, it is great to get out and chat to other authors

Awesome writing tips.

Same for me with both the travel and the sitting down to write my first book, but once I got my butt in gear it really was worth it!

What help do you need writing your first book?

Wow, so cool!

"As Mary walked to the edge of school roof and turned around to see if anyone whould come.."

I agree with the majority of these, I read my reviews but that's a me thing and not something I would recommend for everyone but congrats on 50 books!!

50 books is absolutely amazing!
