    Not all through the video, but now, regarding the "you shouldn't have a lot of worldbuilding at the end of the book" thing There's a quote by Brent Weeks I saw recently that I really like "All my life I’ve been told I can’t do things. They said, “You’ll never get published. You’ll never make a living at writing.” I said, “Why not?” When I wrote Night Angel, they said, “You can’t write the second and third books of a trilogy when the first book hasn’t even been picked up!” I said, “Why not?” When I started Lightbringer, they said, “You can’t have a fat kid as your main character.” I said, “Why not?”" (there's more, but there are spoilers there, so well) Rules are there to be broken. Stories can be anything you want them to be Best of luck, Kat. With Book(s) and all other stories that dwell in your mind, waiting to see the light :)

    Congrats, Kat! Your writing videos are what introduced me to BookTube 6 years ago, and after seeing your writing highs and lows over the past few years (or at least, the ones you chose to share lol), it's so awesome to see how excited you are about your first complete, polished draft in several years! Can't wait to see it in stores on shelves someday, because it WILL be in stores someday (hopefully soon-ish)! My NaNo project this year is a 2nd draft (er... draft one of version 2 bc of all my plot edits? idk anymore lol) so this is really helping motivate me to do the thing and FINISH THE DRAFT!
