Thank you for 500 subscribers!! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

I made some decent progress this week, but I found myself up against the wall towards the end of it. Have you ever been writing something and realized that it would be so much better with one major change? A major change that should have been implemented five chapters ago?? ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

    I'm here for the werewolves as a fellow werewolf lover! Congrats on 500 subs! You're a better person than me. I would have chucked the notebook already. Taken a pic of the info and thrown it out (or give it to the kiddos to use) if I hated it.

    YAY congrats on 500! That's awesome. And once again I say I can NOT wait for this new version of Pine Hollow. I NEED to read this so badly! You got this!
  • Congrats for your subscribers! About the novel, when you said werewolves lived alongside humans, it immediately got my attention. It's very cool, that perspective. I would read a novel like that!
  • Omg your coffee with the foam looked so good! As soon as I saw it, I immediately had to leap off the couch and make coffee ๐Ÿ˜… Congratulations on 500! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก I love your videos so much, I automatically click whenever I see them in my sub box ๐Ÿ’–

    I can completely understand being self-conscious about vlogging in public. I once saw a vlogger in the wild and it did look quite cringy. On the other handโ€ฆ I do enjoy the end product, specially writing vlogs, so Iโ€™m glad people do it. And donโ€™t beat yourself up for not coming up with the story/plot idea from the start. Sometimes you need to just write on before you can figure out what works. My first drafts are so full of holes itโ€™s not even funny. There are missing characters (even some who I know exist in the story but I donโ€™t know how to write them in yet), missing descriptions, missing settings and so much more. There are placeholders where research needs to go, placeholders where some important information or plot point has to be and if, as you, I figure out some big story change mid writing, I continue writing as if the story change has been there from the start. A zero draftโ€™s only job is to have the story on paper, so you have something to work with. Hope the vet visit went well, and thanks for the vlog.

    Congrats on the 500 as I still haven't broken 100. You are a good vloger better then me. Also you being so honest is probably a pull. But besides that you are just an amazing person ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜Š
  • @HeatherFlyte
