This episode is for: writing nerds; people into process, people who want to hear me say “ideas” roughly two thousand times in fifteen minutes

This episode is not for: folks who want a quick three-step process to write books! I don’t have a three-step process for ANYTHING.

If you didn’t watch last week’s excited ramble about revising, you might do that first, because this is the follow-up in which I screw up an entire revision…twice.

This video is for: people who like watching me ramble; writing nerds; people into process videos. Anyone who wants to see me low-key dramatize either a roller coaster crashing into the ground (slash my desk), or me almost climbing out of a hole and then sliiiiiiiding back into it.

This video is not for: anyone who wants to avoid the nitty gritty of creating shit. Sometimes it gets SUPER discouraging, y’all.

In this episode of procrastination goodness, I ramble about revising books, confidence, excitement, and how no matter how excited I am, I'm still procrastinating!

This video-slash-podcast is for: people who like watching me ramble; writing nerds; people into process. And anyone who likes playing spot-the-Basil-Kitten in the background. This video is not for: anyone who just wants a point to be made in a concise way. I make some points. None of them are concise. Places you can find me: https://www.patreon.com/KrisRipper
