    Christine, I know you won't see this but when you talked about the writer problems tangent it made me feel so relieved because I have been having so much trouble with thinking of an original story. I have been thinking and thinking of what hasn't been done before. I was literally so invested in this one idea and I scrapped it because I thought it wasn't original. I may have to get the idea back out and continue to get the plot on paper. Thank you for helping me realize that the story I wanted to write is original because I am different. I needed this and thank you!

  • @ikram-tc3hx
    @ikram-tc3hx 7 лет назад +6

    I totally get what you were saying! As I'm writing my book, I see similarities between other books as well. They're usually tiny bits to the story that seems similar to things I've read in other books and it has been a bit nerve-wracking because then I feel like my writing isn't original and all people will see is the similarities to other books. I guess it just important to remember that you're writing first and foremost for yourself and not to censor yourself for what you think other people will see in it. Thanks for that pep talk and I hope your 5th draft goes well!!! :)

    • @likelylili7216
      @likelylili7216 7 лет назад

      Ikram Ali yeah. I think about that but I also know that all art is not original because we have to take inspiration from others.

  • @federicasantos2784
    @federicasantos2784 7 лет назад +1

    Christine you are such a massive inspiration in my life. I first started BookTube after discovering your channel. After hearing you talk about your college experience studying film, it pushed me to dare study film which was what I always wanted to do and I am loving it more than anything. I find constant inspiration now more than ever in your content. I am really proud of you after following your journey from the start of your book. My main struggle has always been feeling that my story isn't good enough and that no one will want to read it. Your writer problems tangent was exactly what I needed to hear to maybe feel confident enough to work on my own novel. Thanks Christine :)

    Thank you for that little side note about the threads in books, I really appreciated that. And yes, it did make sense. I was supposed to be editing my book this summer, but it's already July and I haven't been editing! It's so frustrating. Hopefully the fact that I signed up for Camp Nanowrimo will help get me back on track. I love watching these videos and I'm rooting for you Christine! You can do this! You will get there. Can't wait to read your book once it's finished.

    My biggest struggle when writing my books is that I'm a perfectionist so I can't ever just get through a draft without wanting to change things immediately when I see them. It's annoying but I guess in the end it may be worth it! I'm super excited to read your book when it comes out maybe you'll read mine one day!
