Dear Ms. Harrison, I love your video! I am twelve years old and am in sixth grade. I am a writer too. You inspire me to pursue a career as a writer when I graduate college one day. I struggle with dyslexia, but I believe that my passion for literature will help me overcome this obstacle. Thank you for being such a great role model.

Nothing puts me more in the mood to write than watching the life of a writer. Thanks for making this video.

Thank you for sharing this video! I live in New York and I like to write too.

Ever since I was a little girl I've been writing stories. I've been working on my book for awhile and I feel like I'm almost at a point to start querying to agents. Thank you for being an inspiration :)

As a writer myself, I agree with everything she said. Some of these are lessons only experience can teach

Dear Ms. Harrison I like how you express yourself throughout the video. I am 21 years old and I write as well. With what you have said about getting lost thinking that you can't do what you have already written again, I do feel like that. Thank you for allowing me to know it's okay.

she's great. she makes writing seem so encouraging. what a nice lady!

A no-holding-back sharing. Thanks for the generosity.

It's nice to see that someone is doing well in the career that I'm looking forward to start in. regardless on what type of genre or story they are writing, it's good to see how they push through every single challenge even though they have the ultimate creative freedom. pleasure to watch such a motivated video :)

I hope that one day I'll be just like her. This video makes me happy. Thank you :-)

This video just made my day. What an inspiration. Thanks

I think writers tend to be more of the intellectuals among us.

I like your comment, 'It'll get you to a novel sooner or later,' regarding how many words you can manage to write in a day. Sometimes, I can only manage a few hundred a day due to work.

Love this video! Not only gave insight on the writer, but also made me feel like I was in London for a minute.

I love the passion in your eyes when you talk about writing :) I hope I do look the same

Love this. Thank you Kate!

The life of a writer......would be a dream come true for me!!!

Thanks for your post. Listened to the audiobook by S. King, 'On Writing'. It's about the life and work of a writer. He narrated it and that added to the affect. Recommended.

Thank you for producing this video, very wonderful and uplifting piece. Gives perspective and help into a writing life and makes it seem More doable and human. Also shows how it’s not a mysterious or magical process or a snobby ivory tower. It’s just people doing work. It’s easier if you approach writing as simply work.

OMG! i love this!! Thank you very much!!! I will remember you.

I love this video. I love it so much and it inspire me.

REALLY interesting! Thanks for doing this, Kate!

Thank you ~ from the bottom of my heart!!!

I enjoyed this. Thanks!

Great video and very informative. Thank you for sharing this , gives me hope it's possible to do this.

Excellent film and I love the line 'When it's going well it's the best feeling in the world and when it's not it's torture.

She is supercute, sweet and lovely.

I love your laptop holder. Great video--very inspirational!

You are so sweet... Keep writing...

Great video

that sounds amazing

great vid

Ms Harrison, thanks for the video..very great information. At @7:17, what type of writing software are you typing in? Thanks again :)

What typewriter was that? I just bought a clean working Remington Quiet-Riter. I'm very happy with it. I need to use it more often.

What happened to The Last Gift? Was it ever published?

I have to write a story ASAP

plz what is music in the end ?

With 1,000 words a day, I could write a small novel in 2 months

I am just wondering what kind of writing software she is using?

Wait, she's friends with Suzan Collins?

I need to retrieve a copy of my book ; cosmic creative energy, from kindle, and submit it to CreateSpace"

Can you update

Thanks for sharing wonderful video. You are born to write; Kate Harrison, A Pen Life Born to write not an easy life But I am must try. Day and night, every time I write, My pen crosses the paper, I find a new word. Born to write; sometimes a tear drops from my eyes, While I write. And then each word written, I begin to cry. Born to write; that which is my life from the beginning. I start to think and begin a new thought. Then I try to write at anytime, anywhere, about anything. There’s no limit, Until the time I quit to submit my writing. Born to write I try to get the words down. The more I write, the prouder I become; But at other times I can’t find the word. Stop there, I am to try again. Charlotte, North Carolina Fall 1997 Louielamson2000

Haha, the journalist part sounds just like me. I have studied three years of journalism, but I found that writhing about real life from an objective point of view is very little rewarding. However Im starting at a writhing academy in Norway this fall, so hoping that will be better.

2:25 Psychology.

and shes not even touch typing! wow

When people talk about hitting a certain amount of words a day, i think of that famous quote by Truman Capote, “That's not writing, that's typing.”

1:58 word count at least 1000 words

5:02 don´t give up your day job

Writers take writing too seriously ,I Understood that.

So she writes junks.

Well, this was useless.
