Hellllooo, friends! Sorry for a week of no videos, it was kinda of a crazy week! I hope you had the chance to tune into my live stream with Brielle over on her channel, @briellewrites ! Definitely check that out if you haven't already. Annotating your own work is great, and it also sucks. This video is basically a chaotic compilation of all my thoughts on that subject. I hope you enjoy!! As alw...

INTRODUCING MY MAIN CHARACTERS // explaining how I developed my characters while drafting 📚
Просмотров 593Месяц назад
While I'm waiting for my printed first draft to come in, I thought it would be fun to introduce you guys to my main characters! I also explain some of the character questions I focus on answering while I'm drafting. I find that having these questions answered helps my characters be more three dimensional as I prepare to add more depth & clean up their arcs in revision! Thank you for watching! C...

COME ON A WRITING SPRINT WITH ME ✨📚 // Writing VLOG 1
When I was a pantser writer I always started at the beginning until I reached the end. Always kinda seemed to work for me, but, then, I only ever wrote short stories and poems because I don't write long fiction as it requires too much planning.
This is so true, I hated never knowing what to refer my creative business to.
Im writing a book too and watching your videos always give me so much motivation OML I cant wait to read your book!!!!
@@anabellesingh6636 That’s so exciting!!! GOOD LUCK! Thanks for watching!♥️
@@andesears GOOD LUCK TOO OML <3
My Lady Jane's cancellation came like right before my birthday and I was gutted 😭 If you have spotify, the first book is available as a free audiobook though!
The funny thing is I’m learning soon in my semester how to write a theatre script so I’ve been binge watching your videos writing my script idea for 10 pages which I done the first draft.
@@JoshuaBarrish oh my gosh! I love that haha! thanks for watching and good luck on your script!
@@andesears thanks so much :)
Worldbuilding slips depending on a book's portion are more relatable than I care to admit. :/
I love how floppy and slightly worn your annotation copy looks now. That draft copy gave you your money's worth, lol!
Zero pressure but I’ve also been looking for a critique partner! I get not wanting to spoil tho 💫 just tossing it onto your radar
I always relate to “uuughhh”
When it comes to writing as a career, time is your friend, not your enemy. It's great that you've moved away from expecting perfection ... one generation's perfect is another generation's "what the hell is this dinosaur shit", so whatever version of the story you're happy with will become the best version at whatever point the most people feel the same. If that makes sense.
Ooh...what if I'm not as good a judge of what's good or bad words as I think I am? I resonated with that. I love how you said basically that if we can do it with other books, we can do it with our own. Also love everything you said about perfect words vs. finding the words that are true to you and your story.
Thank you!! So kind of you! I am so glad you resonated!
🐍 good luck with your project❤
You're so inspiring and I love your vlogs!
I feel everything what you're saying in my correee!!! writing is so difficult when you're doing it alone. perhaps you need a CP (side eyes and messages you on Instagram) anyway, I feel you! I hope you can figure it out soon!!
So true! Thank you for the encouragement!
This made me even more excited to read your book! I loved getting a first glimpse of your characters. I think it's so cool that you created people & a whole world from nothing. I definitely do not have that kind of imagination. I love that Emry is curious! I'm excited to see how that plays out, especially how that curiosity connects with Aiden's as well! & I really like the question you ask yourself of 'how does this character relate to others?'
Thank you!! I’m excited to get to the point where I can share it!
good luck on draft 2!!
thank you!!🥹
Girl. Story of my life. Let's go to a book shop together next time you're in town. Like the 2 story B&N in Ann Arbor or something!
YES! Lets do it!
Loved this sm!!! Welcome to draft two ;)
VERY MUCH GRIEVING MY LADE JANE
so glad I’m not alone
🤍🤍🤍
This was such a lovely video!! I loved all of your insight - revising is my personal fave, and I love all of the takeaways you've had. 💗and (you are an author!!! you wrote a book!!! 🤗)
Thank you, Mik!! I appreciate that, especially the affirmation! Thanks for watching 🥲🫶🏼
Feel you on that part about wondering if you can write a good novel in a year on your first attempt. Feeling just as ambitious with my current project. Want to have it pretty much done by end of next year while drafting the others in the standalone series next year too. Not sure if I'll publish it as soon as I feel it's done or wait til the following year to actual put it out into the world.
Loved hearing about the characters! Dark hair really fits you ❤
By my definition you’re an author already like someone else said! Maybe not be a published one yet but still one for sure ❤ I literally need to keep hearing other writers say no words are wasted until it’s drilled into my mind.
Ahhhh the print copy looks so good! There’s just something about watching people print their draft esp the ones that look like actual books. Makes me excited 😆 looking at yours I actually like the bigger font for draft one at least. I love how organized your revision plan is. And I love the cover design!
This is the comfort I crave after my finance class! Love your vlogs, Ande!
this video has been on my "watch later" list all week, enjoyed this a lot!! i am waiting for all these realizations to hit me once i'm in revisions, and it is such a good tip to note where your strong points are so we can remind ourselves of them when we need it most!! and making sure to read other books while doing revisions is also something i'm going to keep in my back pocket. thank you for sharing your experiences 💛
Hope to be there someday soon too!
Also a writer! My book is debuting this September and I’m TERRIFIED, but I also LOVE watching other writers channels share their process and it always motivates me to keep going. Super stoked to have found you!
@@JadeJuniiper That’s incredible! Congratulations! So nice to meet you, thanks for checking my channel out!
@@andesears 🥰✨🙏🏻
This is so cute!
I started writing in 2008 (right after I finished Breaking Dawn and decided I was finally going to write my own book, lol), and I have definitely improved my craft over the years. But I still go through periods where I feel that I'm a terrible writer and why am I still even trying? It's verrrrrrry annoying. So I'm loving watching you on this journey, and seeing your updates and progress. I'll be thrilled to add you to my shelves one day!
@@lendralit1174 Aw that is too sweet!! Thank you for the words of encouragement and wisdom, it’s cool to hear a bit about your own story!
Great video!! Please take my comment as encouragement, but you are an author. There was a portion of the video where you said that you were not an author yet. Technically, you are. You are writing a book. You are putting in the hardwork that comes with writing a book. To me… that’s what an author is. Speak as if you’ve already arrived. Can’t wait to see how the finished product turns out. Thanks for having us on your journey Keep doing what you’re doing, Ande 💯💯💯
@@enigmatowles 🥹🥲 Thank you, that is such an encouraging thing to hear! I appreciate that. I will start calling myself and author from here on out, you have my word lol🫡
@@andesears glad to hear! much success and blessings to you 😊
I love the idea of highlighting the strong points for encouragement!!!! Going to have to try this :) loved this sm
🥹🫶🏼
I prefer to do everything digitally, and by that, I mean exporting out the manuscript as a PDF file and then, using a PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat, I will be able to highlight and annotate. These are basic functions so they are included in the free version. I suppose professionals would purchase the subscription plan, but me, the free version works fine. It is possible to import the PDF into Goodnotes, but the Goodnote free version puts a limit on the file size. So, if your document is relatively small, then you can import the whole thing into Goodnotes and take notes on your own work digitally. Another way is to upload the whole manuscript to Google Docs and share the manuscript with another person (an editor perhaps), and the second person will check it out. Of course, if you do have money to spare for a printed manuscript and you prefer to do everything on physical paper, then there is no one stopping you.
Omg! I also live in Illinois, work in higher ed, and am a writer haha. So glad I found your channel!
@@ChristieLee789 wow! talk about relatable!!!
Congrats on you and your hubby! My husband and I married at 21 and are going on 7 years now 🎉☺️💖

This process looks really interesting. I'm somewhat in the middle (I do plot and I do a lot of pantsing) so this looks right up my alley. Great video!
Congrats! I can feel the joy🎉❤
Ahh love everything about this and hearing your progress and answers. I'm definitely checking out that Plantser journal too.
@@BonnieNicoleWrites thank you!! 🫶🏼
