love your collection!! the vintage ones are everythinggg

Hi Brittany ! Happy Autumn 🍂 🎃. That Olivia Rodrigo album is really good & her concert was top notch. She's an incredible talent. Take Care 😊

Amazing Vlog!

I tend to get the main character first, the end and start after that. The rest can be quite a battle. As far as my current work goes, I am managing to accelerate my drafting; I could write a 100k draft in 4 months rather than my present 5, although I should take a midway break . The not-so-good news is I won't be able to finish DW this year. The situation is that I stopped at 88K about 3 years ago, resumed it a few weeks ago thinking I had 30K to do, only to find I that it was more like 55K. I'll finish it next year because it needs a hefty revision. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to trying to write two first drafts next year out of three possible candidates. One is FT3 (mermaid), the second is the train romance, and the other is about alien first contact. It's daunting, but my new working method "getting on with it" seems to be working.

Using smaller words is recommended. A study conducted a few years ago said that the average person reads at a 5th grade level. I don't know how accurate that info about reading level is now, but I always tell my editing clients to use a smaller word (and I provide examples) if I notice that a word or dialogue tag pulls me out of the story. For dialogue tags, I usually provide examples of an action the character can do instead if the tags get repetitive.

Ooooh!!! That middle grade idea is great. That course sounds really helpful!

How do you organize your bookshelves?📚

Love your bookshelves!

Amazing Vlog!

I keep missing these

thankyouuuu

Hi Brittany ! I just took a first person point of view course for a potential novel I have in mind. I did some initial writing & realized I had no clue how to properly write in this style & the course really helped me get into a more comfortable groove in this style. I never get tired of learning ! Happy writing 😊

Hi!! getting back into watching writing videos and i love to hear how proud you are on the book lets goo!!!

Hey Brittany, I love watching your writing vlogs and this mid-year check in for writing! I wanted to see how your journal is looking like now, since it's already the mid-year. I like the idea of how you track your chapters in your journal but wanted to see a full idea. If you don't mind sharing in a video, would be nice to see all the trackers and see how your journal is going for writing wise :)

I'm sure WYMTM will be fine and you'll get through all the problems. As for me, welllll... I finished the first draft of FW2 after six months of slog. History fiction is really difficult... one mistake and you'll have the reader rolling their eyes. Now I'm working on finishing the 1st draft of DW. It's already 100K words, and I expect to add another 30K to that. Things I've learned in the last 12 months. (1) I'm turning into a terrible overwriter - blah blah blah - and (2) I need to work significantly faster. Like, 20% faster. I can take less breaks and make them shorter, which will help, but I'll also be doing more tippy-tappy. And in October I'll be resuming work on FT book 2. Yay, mermaids.

You're doing great on your goals!

Amazing Vlog!

I don't think I know the film Starstruck... I wrote a book with that title though!

Good luck with the betas! And 👍for the hair.

Loved the video and omg congrats on 70k words!

this book sounds so good!

I'm trying to get into the writing mood, so I'm gonna be catching up on your writing vlogs! I think the Google Maps research is such a great idea. I never even thought about distance and the exact location of where the characters would live...

Awesome Vlog!

Wow, draft 4, that's great! Honestly I feel like I'm working hard but getting not very far. And I really don't like Mondays.

Hi Brittany ! It took me almost a year to write a book which was not published but the rights are still held by the potential publisher. Its a non fiction account of the " shoegaze " scene of music in the early 90's & the genre is enjoying a resurgence so , fingers crossed 🤞 the book might still appear ! Good Luck with your continued writing & stay positive 👍

Six of Crows is one of my favorite books!

We need another update soon!

i've been waiting for this!!!!!! turn it up!!!!!!! OMG YOURS TRULY did i know that you read this??!?!? it's SO superior the way i knew you were gonna mention chasing lucky for the tbr question LMAO

Thanks for the reviews Brittany ! I just ordered Funny Story by Emily Henry on your advice. Looking forward to reading 📖 it. Take Care 😊

Your collection is amazing ❤ I also have some Hannah Montana CDs, the Camp Rock 2 soundtrack, Jonas in LA soundtrack, Miley, Demi, Selena, Taylor....these people were my whole childhood and I will never get rid of these CDs, they bring me so much nostalgia 😂❤❤

your writing vlogs are extra motivating to me!🫶 also i FEEL the problem with world building i pull out google maps way too late into revisions to see if what i wrote is even plausible and most of the time i’m like: 🙂 whelp…
