if you make it to the end without skipping ahead for the title, you are appreciated *AWARDS MEDAL OF HONOR*
if you don't, i understand XD
i’m currently watching your folklore breakdown which represents me that day was insane as i am a directioner and we were already going insane 😂😂
How could anyone skip through this video!!! Your the best!
Ngl, I'm trying but I dont know if I'll make it 😅
It's hard but it's gonna be so damn worth it!
christine is our whimsical book aunt
LOL
I love this
I think of her more as a cool older cousin but yes
Christine: says "I've done nothing" after editing entire book
me: feels accomplished for taking a shower
💀💀💀
Mood! Lol!
folklore feels like sitting in a cottage while it's raining and eating banana bread
yess ikr?
i won't be able to stop singing that fifth harmony song (can't insert song title because it spoils BOOK TWO TITLE) every time i see book 2
SO EXCITE FOR YOU BUT ALSO I HOPE YOU GET SOME REST SOON BC I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HUSTLIN
We stan "Juan playing Minecraft in the background" energy
As far as Word goes there is an autosave button you can click that automatically saves your work as you write, it's a legitimate lifesaver
Kind stranger, where is this magic button you have discovered? I'm in desperate need of it.
@@thedragon6480 For me at least It's in the top left corner, labeled AutoSave with an on and off switch, but it might be different on different versions of word. I think if you go into your settings/options there is options for it. Hope this helps 💛💛
@@autumnedwards696 this DID help!! Thank you very much!!
@@thedragon6480 Of course 💛😊
Omg it only ever failed me once. My WiFi went out and Maybe 5 minutes later I exited out of my essay. Tis was a sad, sad day.
Alternative title to this video: "Christine's eternal struggle with Microsoft Word"
Microsoft is not my favorite, but my mom is paying for mine, so...yeah. Haha!
SPOILERS FOR THE TITLE
Again but Better
Better Together
If Christine’s third book happens to start with the word “together,” we’ve really got something. XD
Together forever
@@tynakatroberts5117 omg you legit just read my mind! This is threw me off guard even tho i was expecting this lol
Or hear me out
“Together again”
:D
Sara Mandi Mumford
That would be cool!
Sara Mandi Mumford that would be another cool title!
the fact that i have been watching you since 2012 blows my mind! I just want to say thank you for the community that you built on this channel and it is soo great to see you continue to pave the way for the future. You always made me feel like talking to friend with EVERY video that you post you have inspired me in more ways than one
I’m a simple women. Christine posts, I click
As you should 😌😌
Okay, but I’ve reread ABB seven times this year... YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITER, CHRISTINE
The caps at the end! I love your excitement! I haven't read it yet, but my friend has and my cousin! I need to get on this, I am so behind on reading!
christine's future autobiography: bananas & better
omg omg omg omg omg, doing everything in my power to not just skip to the end to find out the title.
Same
THANK YOU FOR TRYING I APPRECIATE IT
zuko supremacy!!
fran the only type of supremacy I like
Zukoooo :D
i can’t even express how much i love these writing vlogs !!!! i’ve watched all of them probably about four times now. i just love seeing writing progress as it happens and getting little behind the scene hints as the book is created. watching the ABB writing videos as they came out definitely made my experience reading it more special and i can’t wait to finally get to read better together as well
Thank you ❤❤❤
Me: Meh I don't really want to write my "novel" anymore. It's not like it'll ever leave my laptop anyways.
*Christine Uploads writing video in the series that got me hooked on writing*
Me: ...
Me: Welp looks like Imma start writing again and learn Italian later
I bought way too much Taylor Swift Merch when folklore dropped, I needed the cardigan!
Literally every time she drops a new “collection” for a limited time my brain is like “you need to get this before it’s gone!! It’s too cute to let get away!!” 😂😅
It's so hard, especially for someone with anxiety and depression, to remember the good times. I LOVE the good days journal idea, sorry Christine, I'm stealing it XD.
When she asked John what his new favorite Taylor Swift song was for some reason I knew it would be “I knew you were trouble”
SAME! 😭😂
I LOVED Again, But Better and literally can’t wait to read your new book! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into your content! ❤️
You had us at HURTLE! LOL! Love this so much! ♥♥
Honestly, how is Christine so cute??? She's so great and I can't wait to read her new novel when it comes out!!
Girl I admire your hustle! You are such a hard worker!!
when Christine says she hates tracked changes: turn them off girl
when Christine finally learns she can turn them off: oh... honey.....
Please tier rank Taylor's songs!
OMG YAAAAS !!
I for one second i thought taylor swift was there,
not disappointed cause i saw you:D
I love this because this is exactly how I felt when folklore came out! Im only now finally being able to not constantly have a folklore song in my head
I now want to make my own favorite days journal. That’s so pure and good for coping with negativity
I spent the morning after Folklore came out on my bed doing nothing but listening to the album over and over and crying for no reason!! And yeyyy! Keep up the AMAZING work for your book : ♥
And then one day, I couldn't sleep because all of folklore was in my head AT THE SAME TIME!
AHH A 30 MIN VIDEO OF MY FAVORITE RUclipsR TALKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT AND BOOKS. LOVE
OMG! I have a control F list but I didn't have a fancy title for the list. LOVE IT!
Realizing that the word "better" is also in the title of the new book and that this makes it all the more likely that we are getting closer and closer to the "xtinemay-literary-universe"....just saying...
Yayyyyyy congratulations on finishing this draft (and the bonus chapter lol). Can't wait to read them both!!!
I am IN LOVE with folklore!!! Can’t wait to see your review Christine 😄
When you said, "Oh, the page count went down. That's cool." When you were tired. I felt that. Lol. I totally get it, with the cutting scenes, when I was revising my novel my editor (my mom), told me to cut the scene and I didn't know why, then, when I thought about it, I understood. Lol. I love the title, by the way! It's great! I will be ordering the paperback edition of "Again But Better" (even though, I have two copies already, lol). Great video Christine! Keep up the great work, you rock. Keep being awesome! P.S. "Folklore" is great writing music, by the way! Taylor knows us, writers so well!
I love your "shawarma" tshirt at 27:48!! you should definitely release a "SHWENESDAY" merch!!
p.s i LOVED "Again, But Better" can't wait for book 2!!
Seeing your writing vlogs helps me get into my own writing zone and I will forever be grateful for that.
I love when you do vlog videos and get excited every time one premieres! I am only one minute in, and don’t worry I’m not skipping to the title reveal, I’m letting the anticipation grow while I wait 😂👏🏼
Update: cracking up about “furtherest” - gonna be saying that now lol
this motivates me to start writing again! i have been on the LONGEST writing hiatus in my life! and now i'm start to ease into writing some more! thank you Christine!!
"I feel like the page is watching me" Why am I laughing so hard at that?! I don't really like track changes, either! I find it so distracting XD
I love how happy she was after her session of intense writing when she got inspired!! I love you Christine 🥺❤🥰
again, but better is one of my favorite books of all time!! I'm so excited to get the paperback version of it and I'm so excited to read better together and fall in love with the new characters and world you create
I LOVE the pink for ABB! It’s gorgeous!
I am currently working the first draft for my novel, and I do not know if this was Christine's, intent but these writing vlogs are really motivating for me to keep writing, so thank you, Christine!! 😊
"A friend to all is a friend to none" is my obsession line today and yesterday it was "Peter losing Wendy" each day I just have a different line stuck in my head not mad at all about it lol
WOW, I JUST REACHED THE END OF THE VIDEO AND I JUST HEARD THE NAME OF THE BOO AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR NEXT BOOK AND NEW CHAPTER IN ABB!!
The title is so cute!
I always think 'man, I need to write' while watching these videos. So halfway I actually paused and went and wrote and then came back. Yay for getting words on the page!
I can't wait to read your new book and I'm currently watching your video and trying so hard not to skip to the end!!
Christine!!!!! I love your channel, Again But Better, and your humor!!!!! Thank you for writing and making videos!!! You inspire me so much!!! :)
" it's so easy to not pay attention to Star Wars cuz I don't care at all"
Me: Same 😂
This video made my day and is now acting as my inspiration to go write. Also, I actually find it so easy to keep folklore in the background while I write. Even after adding the folklore songs to my WIP's playlist, I still abandoned the playlist and now i only listen to folklore no matter what i do
The chaotic energy of this video is a big mood right now. Also live the book title! Can't wait to read it!
I love her writing videos so much!
i quite honestly live for these writing updates
i just finished ur first book again but better and I really enjoyed it! It might even be in my top 3❤️❤️ I hope you make a midnight sun video in the near future !! :)
I really like the favorite days journaling thing! Thank you for the idea😄
i feel christine's struggle with folklore on a new level. i'm working on ap art summer homework and i wrote down peter losing wendy as an idea the other day and then i banned myself from listening to cardigan while i work.
i literally love your jeans, oml loved the video and LOVE the your fashion style
AH YAY I LOVE THE TITLE. AND ALL THE TAYLOR SWIFT EXCITEMENT. I RELATE SO MUCH. i can barely turn on folklore when i’m studying. it’s just not possible. congrats on another draft!!
I love these videos so much! Whenever I feel like I couldn't possibly write today, I turn on one of these drafting videos and get this unique excitement and passion for my project
I’m glad Christine uploaded. Because we’re all better together! :)
JON PLAYING MINECRAFT IN THE BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING!!!
I really wanna skip to the end but i wont because i love ur content
LOL thank you! I UNDERSTAND IF U DO BUT A GIRL HAD TO LEAVE SOMETHING EXCITING FOR THE END
polandbananasBOOKS OMG i got Again, But Better version that u signed and you’re one of my favorite authors. I’m sorry if im gushing! :) I also used ur book for school when we had to write a paper about themes in books
I love AJR! And gahhh I’m so excited for this book I love being able to see your process and the ups and downs it makes me feel better about my own writing process and your hyper energy is contagious
I so so so excited for this! Already pre-ordered the paper back. It feels good knowing that I will at least have one more chapter of fluff before I return to my fanfic writing ways
PREORDERED! I can’t wait to preorder book 2!!!! 🥰
Yayyyyy!!!!! A new poloandbananas video!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen it and I already know it's great!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!(as you may have noticed from the exclamation points)
I derive so much joy from watching your writing videos!!
also same I have a different folklore song stuck in my head every day, and I'm not complaining
(omg Banana Time has a real name T^T
Your writing vlogs are ICONIC
These videos always give me so much motivation. I told myself that as soon as you uploaded this I would star working on my own book! That’s what I’m going to do rn!! Thanks!!
Yay! Congrats! I can't wait to read this book!
I love your idea for writing about your best days so I’m gonna start writing about my fave days. Thanks Christine!! ❤️❤️
I'm having an internal debate- watch this 40 minute video, or sleep (it's midnight). I'm betting you can guess what won
I actually really like that outfit, and the moment i saw it i was like 'ooo she looks so pretty'
I use Pages too, Christine, it's the best!
Now every book you write is gonna have better in the title. I'm excited to see what you come up with. Lol.
christine i’m so excited for your new book!! Your such an amazing youtuber and love watching your writing vlogs!
thank you
Christine has gotten me through so much! I am so happy for her success . She has all the support in the world! 😁
And ABB was the best book of all time!
Love these vlogs of your editing and writing process - would be interesting to see in 5 books how it's changed.
Just got to the part were you shared the title and it's so catchy!! Love it
Also I cannot wait for her video on Folklore! So excited.
This made so happy!!! Loved Again, But Better and can't wait for this one!!!
Christine you always inspire me to write!!! Thank you
folklore was the album from taylor i always wanted
I love the folklore journey here. :)
This channel is whimsical and sophisticated.
I love your videos christine! especially your writing chronicles, you keep me motivated and productive! 😩✊
These are literally my favorite videos (:
Yaaas xtinemay videos brighten my day!
Your writing videos inspire me so much! I was in the middle of writing when you posted so I HAD to take a break. I’m so excited for your next book!
Me: hmm I wonder if Christine has a new video yet
*sees 36min writing vlog AND title reveal
Me: *screams internally 🤩🤩🤩

I’M SO EXCITED!😆
Edit: my goodness that ABB cover is so pretty😍
I love your videos so much Christine, they’ve given me so many great books and allowed me to really love books so I thank you so much for that💗
I love your writing vlogs! They motivate me to write more hahah
I’m so excited for BT (no spoilers!) but my favorite part of this video was definitely you freaking out about folklore. 🤣
Your writing vlogs always make me want a matcha latte🍵
Nothing makes me happier than watching your videos since reading in the shower to here, crying over taylor (together)
How does your hair still look so good even in such weird positions?!? It looks so soft Also, I’m really excited to read the second book-( idk the title yet, I’m not done w the vid). And I’m just as excited abt Folklore as you lol
I finished the first draft of my third book a few days ago! I came in at around 104,000 words and I’m so nervous for working on a second draft. I’m going to be taking a break for a few months before I start, and I know you probably won’t see this, but do you have any advice for working on drafts other than your first? How do you approach new drafts? Thank you and btw, I’m so excited for your new book! I loved ABB!
