brielle! i just started watching you this November. usually i get such writing FOMO watching people eat their books up word count wise, but you’ve been really inspiring lately!!! i love ur approach and vibe and I hope ur doing well
"There are worse things in life than being embarrassed" PREACH. I think once you get into the grove of filming & vlogging & editing yourself, you start developing confidence and you actually WANT to get better angles/footage. It's like making a better video outweighs the fear of being embarrassed if that makes sense? loved writing with you, girlie. you know i'm down anytime (plus that session was hella productive lol) 😉also so proud of all the project you've made on your book
With filming in public and being a bit embarrassed, it’s nice to remember that no one’s gonna think about it for more than a few minutes, they’re just going about their day, saw something they don’t usually, and they’ll move on.
I love the discussion about goals that make you write more hours vs the same hours but more rushed! I've experimented a lot with time-based writing goals and I found myself having the opposite problem - a too-large time-based goal could sometimes make me write slower, cause the slower I write the longer I can write for, right? 🙈 I haven't mastered the art of goal-setting yet, but we're working on it 🍵
yes yes yes to how you defined helpful writing goals versus non helpful ones! also, as a new track bear user influenced by you haha i would love a leaderboard!
Your videos are super motivating to me! They really help when I don’t feel like doing anything-I turn on one of your videos and it’s like I have somebody working with me lol😂 Thank you :)
I always enjoy hearing people say they're from Jersey (my home state as well). For a few years, I lived in Sammamish with my boyfriend. I hope you're enjoying the mountains, and weathering the clouded skies well 🙂
Silent follower here! Just wanted to say I’ve been loving your channel and you inspire me so much! I also recently finished my debut novel (currently on draft 3) and am working on my sequel! 💖
Loved this vlog Brielle!! ☕️ Thank you for sharing how your mindset on revision has changed, it really resonated with me as someone who’s been overwhelmed by the idea of starting revision!
girl I'm gonna put "there are worse things in life than being embarrassed" on my 2025 vision board, that is the energy I need to bring into the new year ✨ shout out to my fellow 'jersey for the holidays' traveler lol 🧋
I'm excited for this video cause I found your channel when you were in the middle of writing book 2 so I'm really interested in hearing you talk about book 1! 😁
☕ Just found your channel and I'm so happy I did! Loved watching your vlog...and those glasses are super cute. Because I'm old, I'm going to see if they make a readers version! 🤣
I have FINALLY crested the learning curve of shamelessly filming myself in public, and it's soooo freeing! I know that at the end of the day, I'll be happy I have the footage and forget all about them staring at me, lol.
I loved this vlog! Your videos always give me more confidence to do vlogs of my own which are coming soon hopefully and they also give lots of writing inspiration and so I’m just gonna update you on my progress if you don’t mind I am currently trying to finish writing chapter 6 of my supernatural dark urban fantasy novel with mystery elements. It has the same comparative vibes as the Sandman and Good Omens so yeah Anyways wishing you good luck on your journey and as always I hope you keep enjoying writing as you go long ❤
When is it NOT gloomy in Seattle? Wow. And I thought those were just media stereotypes about the city.😭 Nvm. Also thanks for the vlog seeing your progress is so satisfying and motivates me a lot to keep going!!
the goal setting advice is SOOOO good :')🍵 also would def download trackbear to participate in the leaderboard situation! would love more accountability !
Writing my first book and I’ve been slower to write recently and looking for motivation to fix that! This definitely helped! I am sick rn tho so motivation for anything is hard 😂 I really want to create a channel and document more of my process but I’m trying to get over the fear of being perceived 😅
So, I just went and signed up for TrackBear and it looks like it's going to be SO MUCH FUN (and so helpful). Tracking stats has always been super motivating for me, but I can only do so much with a spreadsheet (I'm a writer, not a spreadsheet-er), so I'm hoping this will be just the thing to add to my toolbox for the new year!
looved this video as always! i've been wondering how u manage to balance everything u do without a set routine, or do you have one? now that youre taking a break from a 9-5, there has to be at least a part of u that just wants to rest!!! at least that happens to me; now that its summer and i dont have anything set in stone, i end up procrastinating everything, even the things i started to procrastinate LMAO. i think my question is how u manage to stay on top of everything ur doing!! the raquel glasses suit u so well btw im definitely getting a pair myself once i get my current prescription!!
I started using TrackBear at the start of October, playing around, getting to know the interface. I didn't use it much through November because I was using a dedicated tracker for the writing challenge I was participating in (Heart Breathings' Rough Draft Challenge). But it was dedicated to just November, so I'm back to trying TrackBear. I don't know if I would participate in a leaderboard, tbh; just because I don't think I would be keeping track as much as might be required... I'm fuzzy on how those boards work too. LOL Doesn't mean I wouldn't join yours, I totally would!
how do you write so fast and follow everything through without hangups or wanting to completely rework it? i feel like i always get really bogged down through the process either by writing a lot of prose and then realizing there's a logical inconsistency or the plot isn't exciting me anymore, or i plot too excessively and then the writing process isn't enjoyable
I literally just joined Trackbear so I could participate in the leaderboard! I've got goals to finish my first draft by the end of Feb, so I'm ready to get writing! 🍵🍵🧋🧋

Writing my first book and I’ve been slower to write recently and looking for motivation to fix that! This definitely helped!

aw!! i hope you feel better soon !! that fear is so real but i encourage you to try it : ) iim always looking for more authortubers to write!
So, I just went and signed up for TrackBear and it looks like it's going to be SO MUCH FUN (and so helpful). Tracking stats has always been super motivating for me, but I can only do so much with a spreadsheet (I'm a writer, not a spreadsheet-er), so I'm hoping this will be just the thing to add to my toolbox for the new year!
Yay!!! exciting!! im honestly loving trackbear so far, the interface is so cute and the GRAPHS!! *chefs kiss*
@@briellewrites I do love a graph. 😬
How do you look so good in each and every one of those glasses???

I’ve never actually used trackbear, but I would be interested in trying it out!
☕️

the raquel glasses suit u so well btw im definitely getting a pair myself once i get my current prescription!!

lol im fuzzy on how they work as well! i have to look more into it!
Don’t know what track board is but I am so interested
how do you write so fast and follow everything through without hangups or wanting to completely rework it? i feel like i always get really bogged down through the process either by writing a lot of prose and then realizing there's a logical inconsistency or the plot isn't exciting me anymore, or i plot too excessively and then the writing process isn't enjoyable
☕☕☕
My jaw dropped at that matcha price. How dare they lol
☕
🍵
☕️☕️

🍵🍵🍵
eight dollars for a matcha is crazyyyy!! did it taste like it was $8? 😅 also i'm loving the editing!!
bahahah it tasted good but kind of average ngl, not $8 matcha level...
Coffee prices being almost $9 is criminal
☕🧋
🧃:)
I literally just joined Trackbear so I could participate in the leaderboard! I've got goals to finish my first draft by the end of Feb, so I'm ready to get writing! 🍵🍵🧋🧋
