    Okay not that you asked but something that helps me with a boring scene or chapter is to think about scenarios / situations / settings that I enjoy reading about characters being in and then incorporate that! For example if certain dialogue or interactions need to happen, can they be on a hike or at the library or even grocery shopping haha (whatever would be fun blocking for your characters to move through 🤗

    this is SUCH a helpful tip, thank you!! ahh i'm already getting ideas for how i can spruce it up🤩setting especially is something that i tend to be pretty generic with, in first drafts but the setting of a scene can be so useful for enhancing the situation or what's going on so i'm definitely going to be looking out for ways to best make use of that!! thanks for sharing, i appreciate it🥰

    As a Christian Romance Author, I also study the craft of romance writing as well. Usually, the average romance novel is around 65-80,000 words. I write less than that, but I do have at least four novels along with my sixteenth and twentieth novels being around 65K or more.

    Hi hi!! If you take your 0 draft out of the manuscript folder in Scrivener it'll take those words out! I usually make an extra folder underneath characters somewhere and call it 'old draft' or something like that! Hope this helps! Love your vlog by the way! I haven't written in a bazillion years (procrastination at its finest lmfao). I'm trying to get back in the mood, and your vlogs have been helping a ton!

    AW THANK YOU ILY!!! omg pls join the authortube family🤗 i totally get not knowing where to start so i got you! first step i did after knowing this was smth i wanted to do was making the channel (so signing up for a google account, creating a YT channel, choosing my username, profile picture, banner etc.)! then it's important to decide what kind of content you want to create (vlogs, tips, etc.) and start filming them! i started with a phone and edited on imovie, it doesn't have to be fancy although what you use is entirely up to you! after uploading your first video i would highly recommend engaging with other authortubers to make friends in the community and also attract more eyes to your video and channel!! (if you make one, hit me up, i'd be so happy to give you a shoutout ;) hope this helps!! lmk if u have any more questions❤

    Omg so excited for you starting a new project! I’m finishing my first ever first draft this July (Lord willing 🙏🏼) and although I love my characters and the story is very cute and charming I was mostly writing it as a challenge to myself to not quite on my stories halfway like I usually do. It’s a contemporary YA romance so I’ve been itching to start something I’m more used to (like YA fantasy). I was going to wait until Preptober to start planning but I guess I’ll probably have it all sorted out by the end of fall which is crazy to even imagine 😱

    Hello, I'm been watching you videos for a bit of a while now, they are so helpful and inspiring. I have always loved writing but been on writing block for such a long time that I forgot how to get started. Do you have any advice? I already have the title, idea of story and characters but I don't know where to start, what's the order, what all I need. Though I'm not purchasing it, I'm following thru the Nov writing challenge, in hopes I can actually finish a book in a year or less.
