Travelling through life creating and making my 🏡 a fun and happy place to be and learning life as an almost empty nester.
A little about me:
I am a 50-something mom of four, nana of 8, and human to 2. My fur babies are Taylor and Titan, currently 15-month-old brothers who are my everything. They will definitely be around in my videos!
A little about why I'm here:
I am a talker. I have a certificate to prove it. I'm proud of it. Sometimes.
I am finding my way through life as an almost empty nester, single, with disabilities and lots of determination to not give up or give in to them all.
I have a small home business which I love and no doubt I'll share that too sometimes.

I took an impromptu weeks break to the opposite side of the UK to spend time with my best friend, Lisa. The first couple of days we shopped, enjoyed the beach and ate out a few times then the phone went off while we hung out, chatted, laughed and reminisced! It was just what I needed.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I was so disappointed to see so much ugliness I had to speak up. By all means engage in a dialogue with me, even if you disagree...
Hi Debbie - big fan. Great video, thanks for posting. Would love to see a baking or cooking video from you for Vlogmas. Cheers.
Hi Shelby :) Thank you for your kind words. I am working on a baking and cooking video!
@@DebbieLukasDesigns Fantastic - Looking forward to it!
Great haul. I think when the marker thing on the mail box is up it means that the postie has been. Not sure what it means when it’s down tho. I may be wrong with all this, because as you know we don’t usually have mail boxes in the UK.
Hi julie! Thanks for watching my video! I hope you are well? I don't remember what it means, I used to live in Arizona but it was a long time ago lol
Many apologies for the sound. The next one is better!
Awh my baby Jake 🥰😍😭💔 - Kirsten
Was there last summer lovely down there ❤
It is indeed! I lived there years ago but it was nothing like it is now!
What a beautiful way to spend the summer! Friends, sun, and relaxation-doesn’t get much better than that. Enjoy every moment of your heatwave retreat
You are so very right there! :)
@@DebbieLukasDesigns thankyou
Hi, Julie from the LDS singles group/Facebook here. Great video. Sorry to hear about the rat, that must be awful. How old is Charley now & how is he doing? Are you still active in the church? (Hope it’s ok to ask this) I’m still active but am not active in the social side anymore, mainly because there’s no one I can relate to. Take care & I look forward to to more videos.
Hey Julie, thanks for watching my video! I'm not active anymore due to some nastiness on the social side of things, I didn't want to get involved so I just stayed away. Our Stake President had to get involved at one point. Nothing to do with me and I wanted to keep it that way. Charley is 20 next month, it's going by so fast! Hope you are doing great?
I watch your videos regularly and I really like your video content. Since I have been watching your video content for a long time, I thought I should let you know. People haven't seen your videos and I feel like I need to tell you something
Hey, I figured by your 'name' that you may have some tips so fire ahead :) And thank you for watching and always commenting!
Lovely video 🎉
Thank you very much :)
Today is your holiday that's why you made the video for free it's great to see your products are great and it's really important for people I watch all your videos and like and comment I love watching your videos
Hi thank you for such a lovely comment :)

That sounds like an exciting journey! It's always intriguing to hear real-life stories, especially when they involve unexpected twists like witnessing a robbery. And having Cathrine from Katnipp Studios along for the ride sounds like a delightful surprise! Looking forward to the true crime chat and the business check-in. Your content always promises an engaging mix of storytelling and valuable insights!
Thank you for such encouraging words 😊

Well said. I think the big issue with others is the charging for ARCS. I also think from listening to the talks another issue is that credentials are in question. The other personal attacks are basically catty, I think. To ruin a persons career with hate... This is why I haven't pursued a channel on RUclips. I would love to connect with you since we seem to be very similar with business, experience and writing... um age... Very well said. Cheers! Oh, I'm always looking for Beta or critique readers. :)
Hey, thanks for your comment. Let's connect, my email is Debbie.willson@yahoo. Co. Uk
You're so wise, Debs. Thank you for sharing these lessons.
I'm late to the party and can see both sides, but you make some wonderful points. Great talk, thanks for making it.
Thank you for adding a clear voice to this intense back and forth. I was wondering if you could recommend any beta readers who would be willing to to read my science fiction novel
Hey! Commenting twice....What you said at the end of this video reminds me of the people who hate Stephanie Meyers. Thank you for sharing!
I think the Kristen Martin debate has gotten out of hand too. Personally I think it is great she is on RUclips!
Want to be successful at this? Stay off author tube. Use the time instead reading and experiencing the world.. learning composition and developing reading comprehension skills go a long way. I have even heard some of these author tube people say you don't have to take classes to learn about writing. LOL explained a lot to me how Kindle went to trash. Some of those books aren't even readable, the composition itself is painful to read thru. Subscribed by the way <3 Good video. (btw did you notice how many of these author tubes use their utube channels as a gateway to their Patreon? They don't even make a living off their books).
Bear in mind, many traditionally published authors do not make a living exclusively from their written work. It's common to have another career, such as teaching, journalism etc.
I really like you. 🤘🏻✌🏻 Seriously, I thought the same thing! Cheers to ya!!!! 🍻
Hmmm... Interesting thoughts.
What a wise lady you are. So glad I found you.
I am 34 so i am older than most of the girls in question and I found the hate distasteful but it was mostly Natalia that I saw
thank you they are treating Kristen's followers like we are not smart enough to know a scam and she is not scamming Ido not buy her classes but i watch her videos sometimes and she is a good person
You seem like a really intelligent women. I'd love to watch videos. Looks like you know a lot about marketing and business, that would be great to watch :)
Thank you so much for posting! I agree 100%!
Whenever I see a video when someone tells me to hate someone else I instantly ask why? Also, no one else is mentioning that no one has to make ARCS. No one. She doesn't have to make ARCS! Also, Patreon is in progressive tiers where you get all the benefits of the below tiers as you go up. Everyone is just avoiding all the other benefits on the tiers for her Patreon. You aren't just paying for the ARCS! You are paying for all these things at that level : Early access to videos, two bonus videos a month, live streams, and free course! It isn't just a book! It is like no one knows how creating content works. It takes time and as a creator she is paying for her time. She makes videos, courses, a podcast, all for free and she deserves to be compensated. The whole thing is bullying.
Great video. I'm listening to both sides but it's great to hear from someone different. I love her videos. I've learned a lot. I'm not a patron and don't plan to be. It's a choice I made just like the person who decided to become a patron. If people decide to pay, that's their choice. I was very turned off by one of the writers who made a video after she spent the weekend at Kristen's house!! How rude is that? She totally lost me as a fan after her "ego" video. Thank you for reminding us to just be respectful.
Anne T yes Natalia Leigh Is her name she looked like Kristen's friend on that retreat then she said in her ego video I can say this because we are not friends then proceeds to use foul language throughout the video to bitch about Kriten when she herself is offering a class how does she know Kristen is not qualified i love song of the Dryad but i am no longer a Natalia fan she is too self-righteous especially about being a vegan and why we should be
Natalia is the only one that i followed that annoyed me
I agree with everything you said about bullying, business, and personal development. I do not follow Kristen but the recent backlash against her feels unnecessarily cruel and overdramatic. Thank you reminding us to be always respectful of each other’s journeys and to SHOW, not TELL.
You've got a very good point here. Instead of this drama, people can just make content explaining how the publishing process works, leaving all the mess behind. Sure, she has done some stuff that I disagree with and sure I no longer follow her content because it doesn't resonate with me. But, you're right too. Now authortube looks like a high school thing that apparently isn't gonna stop. It will discourage new people who wanna put up some videos and don't wanna deal with that mess. I'm one of them. I want to be here but at the same time... I have a harsh tongue and I know it, I fear drama, and I know I have no stamina for handling drama. We can just crate actual writing content. That's it. Would be nice. Thank you for speaking your thoughts on this too. You've lived longer than me, I respect and appreciate the wisdom from people who have already walked the path. I don't know much yet.
Natalia Leigh is not the only one there is another video called lets talk about Kristen Martin that was pretty harsh
@@aprildannettegosa5381 there are many videos on this issue. Some wee harsh, some were opinions, some were just drama, whatever.
Great video. Looking forward to following your journey as a content creator.
Thank you Lara! I hope to have more content in the next couple of days :)
Great video. So many truths. I hope some of the "mean girls" watch this, but i doubt they will...they already got their views/subs from the drama vids. However, they dont recognize the damage done to their writing careers yet and that will be their comeuppance. I truly hope Kristen is doing okay emotionally and I am shocked these girls have the audacity to say they arent bullying.
Oh don't get me started! Their lack of owning their sh!t is astonishing, I'm so disappointed in them. I hope Kristen is recovering from all this shizz now she's on her hiatus, she deserves it and with all the love and support going her way from us just on this video, I think she'll come back bigger and better :)
They really are bullying her. One girl was particularly aggressive in the videos. The worst thing about these videos is that they're acting like they're better, but at least Kristen works hard and is clearly passionate. Obviously, she's a business women so money is important. I don't agree that people should be paying for arcs but people only do something if they want it.
there is only one thing that i do have to say against what you said, but a few of us actually did email her instead of going to social media, and she ignored them, so they ASKED a simple question if she had read the email on twitter and she blocked them with all the others. otherwise, i agree with everything else that you said. She has always held herself away from the rest of us in the community, which i always found discouraging, cause i would have liked to see more of.
No offense, but KM doesnt have a responsibility to respond to you just because youre an "authortuber" or because you think something shes doing is wrong. Im pretty sure that when this situation began, nobody had reached out to KM. (Which is why she restricted DMs early on...) I also really doubt natalia leigh or bythebrooke reached out. (Bythebrooke was even regularly commenting on KMs videos less than 2 months ago.) The only people that mentioned they "reached out" were incredibly rude in their videos and on twitter, and i cant blame her for not responding. (People that said they were blocked were tweeting excessively, and quite honestly, I think the #arcsarefree twitter hashtag reveals some psychopaths.) If one of the larger authortubers had reached out- someone who is acquainted with KM, this situation could have been handled maturely. Its really just pathetic drama. I wouldnt run my business the same way as KM, but if it works for her, fine. However, it is my opinion KM has a right to charge whatever she wants for her books. And its her right to call them ARCs instead of "early release" if she wants.
Amber, thank you so much for putting that out there, I didn't know anyone had made contact (not that there's any reason I should, lol) but on that it would have served her better to connect and open that dialogue. I too would have felt how you did, no-one is better than anyone, it's just an ego thing, I hope Kristen realises this in her journey to self betterment :)
Ellie, thank you so much for sharing that, I do share many of the same opinions esp about some authortubers. I hope now many have spoken out things like this don't happen again, here's hoping! :)
Author Amber S Craft she does not owe anyone a reply though that is the thing she does not owe you fellow authortubers anything
@@persephone3892 right and she is not charging that for the book its the whole package I didn't see what Brooke said but Natalia who I was already growing tired of lost me when she went off on Kristen she is too self-righteous for my taste Kristen is very down to earth I love Mandi Lynn and Bethany and so does Kristen apparently because they were at book con together Natalia Leigh is the only one I am done with really and yes I WILL NAME SHAME HER HERE IF YOU GOT THE GUTS TO BERATE KRISTEN YOU SHOULD ATLEAST TAKE THE BACKLASH AND SHE WAS NASTY ON THAT EGO VIDEO SHE IS THE ONE WITH THE EGO NOT KRISTEN LOL
How do you feel about a new author network that doesn’t have such a limited demographic?
Everyone starts somewhere, I'd say go for it, learn as you go, be as honest as you can with yourself and your audience to be and have fun with it!! Are you considering this step? I'd love to know more :)
Debs Willson I am not really excited about an administrative role in a network, but I’ve considered it. It would be nice to have a network that is not limited to a certain age group and YA. Although some say that’s not all they accept, that is the general demographic, and I’ve heard some say that’s what they think it is about. I am a grown up who writes for various ages. While there is nothing wrong with catering to a specific niche, it leaves a lot out. I have no idea how I would start. I wouldn’t be interested in telling people what to post. I think an author’s channel is part of their individuality. It’s about who they are as an author and glimpses behind the scenes. I’m thinking more of individual authors being themselves and creating their unique content, but networked together.
Thank you for having the integrity to take this stand, you were right in all you said here.
Thank you for your supportive comment, I appreciate it 😊
Great video. Totally agree with you on how Kristen has handled this whole thing, with class and grace. Good for her. Disappointed with the authortube community and they way they have behaved. Looking forward to your content on your channel :) .
Thank you so much for your support, I have had two people reach out to me from the aithortube community, I'll explain in the next video in Thursday 😊
Thank you for sharing your opinion. I agree with you. I hope some Authortubers listen to what you have to say. It is nice to hear someone with life experience like me on You Tube.
Thanks for stopping by, Amanda! I have a whole 50 years of stories to tell! :D haha
This was refreshing after so many authortubers jumping on the bandwagon of negativity against Kristen Martin. I loved and agreed with everything you said about this situation! Thank you for sharing this 😊
Thank you for speaking up! I'm grateful for your kind words, thank you 😊 some authortubers have now blocked me, laughable as they complained about Kristen doing that 😂
Totally agree with everything you’ve said in this video. It annoyed me that a lot of #authortubers have basically said I’m stupid for sending my money on certain things. It’s my choice who I follow and my choice what I spend my money on. No one is forcing me to buy courses or support on Patreon. No way would I pay for an arc, but other things I will spend money on. I was disappointed by a particular authortuber. Not sure if it was the same one; but if it is I was surprised as she was at Kirsten’s house last year. Don’t call someone out. I also have been inclined to stick with Kristen.
Hi Natalie, thanks for sharing, I am so frustrated with some authortubers for their self importance projection that does indeed we're stupid, we're anything BUT! I'm glad you are wise enough to stick by your own preferences, I'm with you there...and Kristen!!
Why not call someone out if you think they're scamming people, just because you went to their house last year? Isn't that spineless?
Thank you :)
Yes. Hell Yes! There is a way to do it, isn't there b/c not only are we affecting them but I honestly thing we'll be affecting ourselves in the process too if we don't do it wisely.
@@23daughters whose to say she's scamming people? Does this other Author who called her out have proof that the people taking her class aren't getting any benefit from it, enjoying it, learning? If I were spending a few thousand dollars on her class, it would be on me to check out her credentials. If I didn't and I hated her class, then lesson learned. Would these people's money have been better spent on a more experienced author's class? Or writing classes through a writing school? Possibly. Could the info be found online for free. Sure. But it's their choice. If I paid the money for her ARC because I just wanted it that bad, that's on me too. I think giving someone a book for free is more likely to get swayed reviews than having paid $150 and it being awful. If KM does have author friends who aren't calling her out, I wouldn't call them spineless. I don't think all KM's author friends are morally responsible to make videos calling her out.
Wonderful video, Deb! I couldn't have said this any better. Thank you for providing your insight. I absolutely agree with you!
Thank you Anna, I'm glad someone else feels how I do 😊😊
