I love your vibe, as a young black girl you inspire me to be me and not feel so insecure about my black hair because I know I'm not alone! I have had the same experience about the wolf cut! lol love your videos

I’ve been writing for years, but came across your channel today and I like it! It’s so hard to find writing content from Black writers and I’m so glad I found yours 💕😭

i love watching these writing vlogs as someone who’s also trying to become an author!!! i’m currently writing my own book and am going THROUGH IT. I get sudden burst of energy and can’t stop writing or i’ll have a major writers block🫤. Sometimes i’ll even go off script and have to change so many things around but i love it 😭😭❤️

Girl, I have been a subscriber since the beginning. I love the growth we have seen since then. I too have been getting into writing since it's my major lol. I even got a job at Barnes and Noble in order to immerse myself around that type of vibe. We need more Black Influencers that are writers. Me being a 20-year-old black girl that's trying to figure out my journey through college and just life itself, being able to watch your videos offer a lot of us a safe space. Keep shining girl!!

this is amazing Maya, first of all writing is not an easy task and I'm also a writer as well. I understand your struggle when it comes to writing. I'm currently starting my publishcation journey after 2 years of writing my novel. You got this girly, I love you and hope you are doing okay. ❤

I wrote my first book on scrivener and I’m currently using it for my second. I even used it for a screenplay until I got final draft, but I also loved it for screenplays. I also think it’s hilarious that I am stuck on my second novel and I was like I should get save the cat writes a novel and realized I had it on my bookshelf (never even cracked it open) 😂 but I love this sort of content!! So glad I found your channel 🤎🤎🤎 and your hair looks amazing btw 🤎

I'm a writer. I don't really use anything for organizing. I just write it. The only thing I do at most is when I made a separate page with a calendar for my last book because they were powers based on time.

@LiselleSambury Жыл бұрын

I like Scrivener because I will make folders for all the Save the Cat beats and organize my chapters inside those folders. So I find it helpful as someone who uses that structure because it's easier for me to keep track of what chapters are in what beats. Also it's a word processor. But I do love Notion and you could probably organize your beats in Notion and then use a separate word processor too. But you can always try the scrivener trial and see what you think?

@mayabeatriz Жыл бұрын

OMG I love your books so much and I've been dying to read Blood Like Magic for the longest!! Definitely gonna check out Scrivener and try the trial because sometimes Notion can be a bit confusing for me. Thanks so much for commenting!🤎

@ninradell Жыл бұрын

I've tried using scrivener before and though it is pretty complete in terms of tools, I've found it quite overwhelming and kept getting distracted while trying to organize things in it, as with notion. The solution I've found was Obsidian, it does the job, is minimalistic (and the colors can be changed to fit your aesthetic) you can link pages so it's easier to go from one to another if you want. Also, I've been loving your writer diaries. I've also been stuck in the planning phase for a while now so your recommendations in this video were very welcomed/helpful rn thank you ❤

@mayabeatriz Жыл бұрын

thank you! i'll check it out

@BrittanyGates Жыл бұрын

My suggestion is to start writing. I think you may be over-plotting or making too detailed of an outline. I find that when I write I learn more about my characters as I write the words on the paper (I write with pen and paper then type it up). And the plot will come together as you write. Finally, write then edit later as per the words of John Steinbeck.

I am also in the process of writing a book and I am lost too !😂😅 I keep changing everything and when I start reminding myself what I want this book to give (theme) I redo everything 🙄 Its a hassel I keep doubting myself and thinking ill never get there but I know this takes time and your writing journey is inspiring me. Feeling like we are in this journey together. 😁
