Today we are kicking off the launch of the Kingdom Pen YouTube Channel with a video about motivation!
How do you find motivation to write everyday? How do you maintain that motivation?
Kathleen will be covering that in today's video!
Also, be sure to let us know in the comments... which tip was your favorite? And which tip are you planning on trying next?
Become an Unstoppable Writer!
*does happy dance* Kathleen!!! That was SO good!!! 😃 I loved all the tips, but my favorite one was making writing a part of you. I struggle with staying committed, so that was really helpful hearing about your drawing resolution. I also love the “making writing awesome” point. Creating habits is the best way for me to keep writing. I love it, but I kill the joy when I reread the first draft and lose confidence in myself, lol!! Anyways, thank you so much for posting and I can’t wait for more!!!!!!!!! 😃
Yes! If there was one point to rule them all, it would be making writing a part of you. That’s what really made the difference for me.
I can totally relate about your first draft struggles. We can really be our own worst critique. What has helped me with confidence in writing, is knowing that being “bad” at writing is actually a necessary step in becoming good at writing. That, in order to write something good, I had to first write something bad.
After I realized that, I no longer beat myself up if my writing wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be. Because that “bad” piece of writing was what made it possible to one day write something amazing.
Anyway, I hope that little tip will help you while writing first drafts.
And thanks so much for this sweet comment! It really made my day. 🙂
Amazing advice, thank you so much!!!! ❤
There’s not much else I can say, this is just simply, ultimately, and all-around amazing:)
Thank you Abigail! I’m so happy you liked it. 🙂
KATHLEEN! This was amazing! First of all, you are an amazing public speaker! Second of all, GURL! You can draw!! Third, this was an awesome video all around and your advice was fantastic! I need to apply all three tips to pretty much every aspect of my life, writing especially. I simply cannot wait for more videos!
Awww, thanks Gracie! I have so much to grow on when it come to the whole video making thing, but it really means so much that you like it! Thanks!
This was SUCH a helpful video! I really like what you said about trying to write a lot. I think I’ve recently hit my ‘day 110’ because all of a sudden, lately, I just NEED to write! Whether that’s random fanfic or working on my series, I feel like I’ve gotta write.
Also- your art is A M A Z I N G ! I really want to learn how to draw that well, maybe I’ll do the 365 day drawing challenge! (I want to see more of your art in future videos 😉)
Anyways, this video was SO VERY HELPFUL and I’ll definitely remember it whenever I don’t feel as motivated. Thank you so much 👏
