GIRLLL THIS WEEK HAS BEEN SO ROUGH I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TIME FOR WRITERTUBE. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. ❤❤❤
HIIIII ive missed your comments lol <3333
Also agggtm is a good girls guide to murder by holly Jackson
came back to comment on everyone's silly lines as I said I would and actually I think ya'll don't give yourselves enough credit! they were solid lines! maybe a bit basic but hey the pretty lines won't look as pretty if they have nothing to stand out against <3
Love this and the fact that it’s 45 mins long as another writer
haha thank you! us writers love to yap i cannot lie
Poppywinkle shining in the back 🤭🤭
poppywinkle is eternal ~~
The queen has returned!!! 45 minute Sophie video ATEEEEEE. I loved learning about your processes smmmm. Tbh the orginal ending for project WHAT is disturbingly cool but you know-an entire trilogy slays so hard. Project WHAT has my heart even if I’ve never read it LOL. I actually have pretty similar processes lol. I built up my most-developed trilogy book by book until realizing that it wasn’t very streamlined and had to rework all the lore and replan the entire trilogy to get it fixed. That was completely on me bc i always knew it was going to be a trilogy, i was just too lazy to actually outline it fully and worked book by book until karma hit me LOL. I finally learned and outlined my superhero trilogy before wrriting it haha. Currently in act 3 of book 2 and it’s going well but we’ll see what happens lolz
thank you!!! and i "am" lowkey reconsidering that sort of ending... oops lol i hope you love project WHAT even AFTER you read it, too!!! your trilogy experience is so real lmao i feel like it's so easy for a series to go completely off the rails lololol but good luck with your superhero story!!!
That humans never learn ending is so real lolol Like full circle. I love hearing about your process
i still really like the idea lol i might try working with it for the end of the project WHAT trilogy...
I love process videos like this yayayay
Yayyyyyy you’re back lol 🎉🎉
we're backkk lololol
a 45 min long sophie video? HELL YEAH
whooo well done!! 🥳🥳
thank you thank you!!!
Congrats!!
thank you!!!
Congratulations, Sophie! And very cool book covers. I think the 3rd is my favorite too. The colors are really complimentary. ❤
thank you!! and yes you get ittt i really love the colors for that one too
YESSS GIRL CONGRATS!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Watching my bestie reach her goals always inspires me to not give up. Plus the BEST pickmeup today, literal screaming knowing you posted. 🤣❤💜🖤
THANK YOUUUU ! and fr there’s no better motivation than seeing ur friends succeed !!!!
Girlie good job hitting your goal!! ❤❤
Thank you queennnnn 🙇🙇
Yayyy you did it
Man, I just love seeing printed out drafts!
Congratulations of the winning camp nano. Soon it would be time for nanowrimo in November. 3 more months.
aaaah omg don’t remind me 😭😭 so so close and for whatttt and thank you lol !!
Congratulations on reaching 30k! I definitely feel you on the sense of fear when it cones on to can I execute these massive important scenes 😅
thank you!!! and i'm glad i'm not the only one lolol it's tough out here
Sophie! Thanks for the upload :D I was wondering what program or app you use to write? Sorry if you already answered this before.
hi! no worries lol i use Papyrus Author <33
Yesss you can do this ! See you on the streams hopefully
thank you sm!!
What is your recommendation of a good headphones. I had the beats headphones they just broke. I like the ones it’s the bigger ear.
oh no!! i currently use a pair of sony headphones which i loveeeee they fit perfectly over my ears which makes them so so comfy
my writing motivation has been gone for like 2 or 3 weeks, i hope this will get me back to writing 🫡
nooooo! i wish u luck queen <3
I’m about to start writing a book but I don’t have a laptop so I’m just planning until I hopefully one day get one so I can start writing 😭
i mean at least you're prepared though haha! and i'm very team hand write so you don't *necassarily* need to wait to get a laptop lol but totally up to you!
@@sophievonahn that’s true lol thx the messy handwriting ensues
The case for Project Glass is so cute!
thank you!!
Sometimes, i just casually think “what if Sophie posted today?” and it ends up being correct so i fondly call this my “Sophie Sense” and ya’ll did my Sophie sense tingle today. So glad for it to be right again. Ngl the possession within the hour was INSANE. Please spare your writing demons 🙏/hj
omgggg yes love the sophie sense lol! i genuinely don't know how that hour happened. if i can find them, i will definitely send those writing demons your way haha
I thank thee🙏🙏🙏😭
Wait is astronomy your major ? Cause I’m studying aerospace engineering (it’s going poorly 🫦)
it is! and omggg good luck engineering seems SO stressful
At first I thought 80k words was a lot! But i began writing a book and just the intro has taken 2k. Either I am over explaining things or my book will be A LOT bigger than I imagined lol.
lololol i so feel you. lately my drafts have gone over my projected word counts??? and that's literally never happened i feel like i'm over explaining everything adding too much flowery language
@@sophievonahnsee i dont even have word count on. I just write and add details when I see it needs it. However im shock when I check and notice how much i wrote. I do need to start outlining tho, story gets more complex and im having trouble keeping the details on check.
7:34 i thought you have a full on baguette on your desk until I realized that's a wrist rest 😭😭
LMAO i mean i wouldn't mind a whole baguette on my desk
@@sophievonahn real, baguette is awesome
What is your email account. I would like to have you as my first beta reader
Hi! It’s sophievonahndoesbusiness@gmail.com <33
omg your so amazing it feels like watching a youtuber who has been doing this for years
aaaah tysmmm!!!!
I would blur your apartment number out. You're a young, small person living alone and posting videos that any weirdo can see. Also be careful showing the view outside your door and windows.
you're so right, thank you!
i only got into your videos super recently (like within three days i think) but i have been having sm fun. they've gotten me really motivated to write a zero draft for one of my stories, since i always get stuck in outlining hell and never sit down and write my stuff. i think i suffer with perfectionism, but watching your vlogs about writing books 1 and 2 of project star (?) has reminded me that sometimes all i need to do is jsut get the story down and then i can always come back to it and keep working on it. conrgats on achieving your challenge! i hope you have a lovely day and the rest of your writing goes well <3
welcome!! i totally get you, perfectionism is truly a curse :( just getting the words down and worrying about their quality later was definitely a lesson that took me a long time to learn!! thank you so much! good luck with your writing, too <33
I am currently watching the video to procrastinate moving, so I feel you on the procrastinating. The new place looks great!
😭😭 the procrastination is REAL 😔 Thank you!! 🫶
What writing site were you writing in?
I use Papyrus Author!
I am pansting my current WIP so I didn't have to outline, although I am sure there will be a lot of rearranging of plot points for the next draft.
that's so real. at least you have the story down, though!
Omg you have a happy planner what size did you get?
yes, i got it to plan my videos! i think mine is the 7" x 9.25" one?
I am planning on getting one for my writing.
you totally should i love how versatile it is
So awesome you're settled into your place girl. 🎉 Hope it feels more homey as time goes on. I've always wondered what it's like to live alone, maybe one day I'll find out. Also, still shocked you got tattoos but they are AWESOME, no doubt they'd be centered in your projects cause DUH only real writers get it ❤❤
Haha yes I will definitely be making this more of my “home” at time goes on 😋 Honestly I live getting tattoos lol there will def be more in the future! And yes WRITER TATTOOS ALL THE WAYYY
13:17 gotta love some good cannibalism in books also the lore for this trilogy sounds so cool, i love it!!
lmao you know itttt and thank you! it's been a lot of fun coming up with it
I remember when you said last year in the video that you printed draft 3 and you put it into a little binder that next year it’s coming a moving vlog and now you are in your new apartment 🥹🥹 THE YEAR PASSED REALLY QUICK ❤
Omg no way!! A year really has passed so fast that’s crazy 😦
Hello, I have a question, what website are you using in the writing part of this video? It looks so cool! Also, do you have any tips on how to motivate yourself to reach your daily word goal? I saw you watched Wall-E, did you do it for inspiration, or just to have fun and relax?
hello! i'm using the writing program called Papyrus Author !! the base program is free which is really nice lol honestly, i was just watching wall-e for fun haha! but i do love watching sci-fi movies while writing in order to motivate me. i also love watching videos about people's processes in other creative mediums to motivate myself! as someone who doesn't write screenplays or produce films, i find those kinds of videos (for some reason lol) SUPER motivating!
Ive only just had this video pop up on my feed but it was fun to watch and definitely inspiring as I work on a short story
omg such an old video lol! welcome <33
I love taking my physics knowledge and putting it into my stories, like totally not necessary for the book I am writing currently given that it is complete fantasy but I have realms interacting with each other through quantized energy levels and realms stick together like covalent bonds.
YESSS! i feel like adding physics knowledge into projects that don't *really* need it makes it even more fun lmao
I decided not to do camp with all of the stuff I am already doing this July, so I am just writing spuratically
that is so so valid (and probably smart lol)
8:45 You're so in your sifi era that you're slowly turning into a little green alien👽
omg you're so right how did i not notice lmaooo
Definitely adding a curious archive to my list of channels to watch.
yessss literally one of my favorite channels !!
I generally write 4-5k words once a week, but that's because I really only write once or twice a week so it is like all of my words for the week.
ayee ok that still counts tho! i feel like i average 5k a week outside of the nanos too
I always find it interesting that you don't make that many character notes I until you start writing. Most of my outlining is just figuring out the characters because then I find they kind of write the story themselves.
idk man no matter how hard i try i cannot understand my characters until i write them for the first time... i think maybe i see how they influence the story, and then base their characterization off of that ?? i have no clue lmaoooo
not even a minute in and LOVING your vibe! defs subscribing :)
omg thank you!!! and welcome <33
I love world building, it is so fun, although I always have trouble keeping track of all the world building I do.
i so so get that. lately i've been trying to make a central document for all my worldbuilding for project WHAT but it's been slow going lmao
