I think writing on my own and listening to music (of course by John Williams! I LOVE Star Wars!) makes so much more sense :Dwindspritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478484772242332262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-32451721467195100902015-04-11T19:08:03.132+08:002015-04-11T19:08:03.132+08:00Thank you, Topaz!

The music is definitely one of the highlights -- probably I spend on the most time considering that in making these videos, since the writing time doesn't actually count.<br /><br />Revisions are also toughest for me! I'm planning to show my rather horrendously huge rewrite in this month's #WatchMeWrite, so possibly that will serve as even better motivation :DAlyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-38218548806864673082015-04-10T18:52:12.782+08:002015-04-10T18:52:12.782+08:00As always, loving the #WatchMeWrite videos - espec...As always, loving the #WatchMeWrite videos - especially the music! (As you can see, my priorities are most certainly in order.) And watching the revision process is possibly even more interesting than the writing process... revision is always the toughest part for me, so seeing fantabulous writers killing it with their revision is usually enough for me to get my butt in the chair and write. ;)topaz wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266048278124376231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-15908094381519633012015-03-31T22:23:09.190+08:002015-03-31T22:23:09.190+08:00(You were using Taile, but it doesn't really m...(You were using Taile, but it doesn't really matter. I know who you are XD XD)<br /><br />No problem; I used Quicktime's Screen Recording function, but I believe it's restricted to Macs. And to be honest, I don't think that was the best example of revisions -- that was mainly me trying to brush the ms up to a somewhat coherent and presentable level to share with CPs. Keep an eye out for next month's #WatchMeWrite; I'm planning to show how I rewrite the beginning of WTA :D<br /><br />Thank you so much for your compliments on WTA!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-6675908338671797372015-03-31T22:21:07.296+08:002015-03-31T22:21:07.296+08:00I used Quicktime and there's an option for &qu...I used Quicktime and there's an option for "New Screen Recording" for Macs. It's more complicated for PCs, because you have to download software.<br /><br />The pictures are basically scraps of background info. I've not yet had to completely change the plot, but I will as soon as I finish this CP round, probably in a week or so. And thank you so much for your interest -- keep an eye out on the newsletter, because once I complete the aforementioned rewrite I shall be fielding for betas!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-17215559045917725792015-03-31T22:10:09.078+08:002015-03-31T22:10:09.078+08:00(Ooh, dear, I can't remember what username I&#...(Ooh, dear, I can't remember what username I've been posting with. Ah well.)<br />#WatchMeWrite is such a cool idea! I think someone else already asked this, but what did you use to record your computer screen?<br />Winner Takes All looks FABULOUS. (Perhaps I should consider making a plan of sorts sometime!) I never actually really *got* what editing was like...but now I think I do? I don't know, it makes a lot more sense now. :)Appletailehttps://thisisthetaile.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-63881099586060552442015-03-31T21:13:12.577+08:002015-03-31T21:13:12.577+08:00That's so cool!

Maybe it's because I tend to forget that there's no magical formula for getting the words down on paper, and everybody has to do it basically the same way...by sitting down and hammering it out.
