Добавлен 2 окт 2013
Hello and welcome! I’m Esther Marie Andújar a Puerto Rican career author.
Here is what you can find:
- The Journey to Publishing chronicles the paths and pivots I walk with my non-disclosed pen name, lovingly called Pen Name Sally.
- The Write Me videos document the journey of writing, editing, and serializing my Paranormal Romance under the name of Mireya Navar. You can read those stories in my Ko-Fi or Patreon
- The Road to Representation is where I chronicle my journey of finding a lit agent and selling multiple books to trad pub houses.
The Romance Writer's Room live show is currently on Hiatus but you can enjoy the previous 16 lives we've done.
I do writing streams on Friday evenings and pop-up Planning Streams.
I hope you find the content you've been looking for and join this wonderful, loving, and chaotic community.

How to be a Critique Partner as a BIPOC writer
Hi new watcher and fellow author here! I loved that you mentioned not using the word “only” because what seems small to us is probably tremendous to someone else!
I love that you said we don't use "only". That's something I have to constantly remind myself of. With everything you wanted to do and all the challenges you faced, I think you did awesome! Especially with the pivot in your Sally plans. That was brilliant and well executed once you realized what you wanted to do.
What a great idea to do this support authors and writers here on RUclips! This is really inspiring. I'm an "old author" but new to RUclips.
Thanks to @WriterSamWicker for organizing it!! I highly recommend checking the playlist in the description box to find more authors!! The event is still going on until Sunday 19. Welcome to the community Lori!
Wonderful to see!
@@EmmaBennetAuthor it was so inspiring!!!
I think you did so much and it amazes me. I know you'll do great next year too.
I'm so not supposed to be on SM but I had to come watch your video. I'm wishing you an amazing 2025!! Love that ending. 🤣
Thank you for watching during your time of social media but you know me and know I will remind you to keep up your boundaries up. I know WE will have an amazing 2025.
@@esthermarieandujar I totally just got Ma'amed lol I love it! Thanks for the reminder.
Looks like so much fun! Love this. Love that you're mom gave you the task, sounds like something my mom would do lol
My brother and I were so surprised. She is mostly encouraging but for her to suggest I leave for an entire weekend was surely a surprise.
❤ Awesome goals Esther
thanks!!
Love this Esther!
it was a great experience
That would be great for you to have a spot next year. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
It was really cool! I wouldn't mind adding some romance into the mix for next year.
Loving your tree ❤
@@EmmaBennetAuthor it’s cute! My mom likes too!
@esthermarieandujar I hope she's doing okay x
You are the queen of pretty post its!
pretty color post-its makes me happy!!!
😅 So many goals I just couldn’t plan for so much you get it girl 🎉
Thanks!!! They are indeed crazy goals.
🎄Like how you've planned out the rest of the month. I'm trying to do that and not sure its working just yet lol
Who knows if mine will work, right? I think we try our best and then reassess come January.
❤❤ good evening
hey! thanks for watching!
I hope this month goes brilliantly for you ❤
Thank you! I hope it does too. I hope you are having a great month and that it isn't too cold.
It’s interesting to see how people are doing their newsletters and going about engagement. I have heard people say putting a link or your QR code in the back of your book is a good thing to do but never thought to use like a bonus chapter for a lead magnet. Do you think you’ll have something for the readers that are being introduced to your work through the less magnetic? Or will the bonus chapter work for them as well? I say for the holidays, especially if you did all the cooking and cleaning, it’s perfectly fine that you didn’t write. I hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving!
QR codes at the back of a physical book is super convenient to the reader cause they can just grab their phone and sign up from there instead of typing a whole url. Links are great on ebooks because you can click it and right there sign up. The divisive thing about free book vs bonus chapter is free books aren't converting that many readers into paying readers. A bonus chapter or scene or second epilogue assumes and requires the reader to read the entire book to really enjoy the bonus which means they are already a paying reader and most likely will buy your next book (if they enjoyed your previous one). Which one or what combinations an author does depends on their marketing and what goals they are aiming for. I didn't write cause my hands were hurting. Even if I wanted to I couldn't.
❤❤ so happy i found ur channel, i get to catch up and its wonderful getting to know u
I hope you are enjoying the videos! Feel free to share something about your writing projects, books that you are reading, creative hobbies, etc.
I pray your mom gets covered in the Lord Jesus peace, and His wonderful love, that she feel His beautiful joy in her heart and this time be a positve time for her this yr❤❤ Christmas is not the commercial buy buy buy business that people turned it into, ita the quiet gratitude moments, with thankful hearts, coming together, doing good deeds. And when your hurting, doing for others rsally does help❤
Faith definitely helps her cope. Thank you for the blessing and well wishes to her.
Hi girl happy vlogmas ❤ new subscriber excited to support you
@@Autumnsoullane Welcome!!! I’m excited to have you here! Happy vlogmas and holidays!!
Yay! Can’t wait to catch up on the next vlog as videos!
@@rouxellereads Hopefully you’ll have plenty of video to catch up on!! I hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying your birthday!!!
@ aww thank you! ☺️
We need to do a planorama planner stream for 2025 planner making.
I've actually been looking at my December calendar and see if I could fit a planning stream.
The way I am screaming undo! at the 38 minute mark. Oh No!
Also attempting Vlogmas is a feat in itself. This totally counts
So bummed I missed the live. And I needed a SM planning stream. Watching the replay
So sad I missed this one live. I got the time wrong :( Really enjoy watching how other authors and people plan their social media.
I hadn't heard of Spirit City before. Nice to see your vlog though!
I saw Dolores Madil using it and pondered for a while about whether I would get it. Glad my mom gifted it to me because it keeps me very productive and it's fun/1
Okay, now you've totally talked me into getting Spirit City! I've been wanting it. It's so cute! I need it in my life lol. I've read both of the books by NV James and TL Russ. They're both really good! Great video for day 2 of vlogmas :)
Thanks! They are both so good for different reasons!! More romance readers should check them out!!!
Also, Spirit City not only is hella cute, I'm being so productive!!! I love it!
@@esthermarieandujar I fully agree!
@@esthermarieandujar Yeah, that's what I need too. Especially at times when no one is around or live to keep me working lol
You have joined Laura and I. I hope you enjoy the game.
My mom gifted it to me during the Black Friday sale!!!
Love the video and I'm excited to watch your vlogmas videos. I'm trying to get ahead as well this month, not sure it will work, but going to give it my all.
I'm gonna give it my all too! Let's cheer each other and keep each other accountable! Thank you for watching.
I hope the daily vloging goes well
thanks! I'm just gonna try and see where I land.
@esthermarieandujar i love the idea of these challenges but I can't do them. I get so overwhelmed by editing.
@@Dolores_Madil If you have capcut the shorts are totally doable. I usually leave 30 seconds for the update. 5 to 10 seconds for the opening and then the other 25 to 20 seconds to little snippets. Pretty easy to edit in capcut and you can add the music in it too.
@@Dolores_Madil I do understand the longer vlogs are a litt more difficult cause you do have to set aside a solid hour or two to do everything. I've seen some vlogmas that are like an hour and man I could never.
This is such a great idea on how to do this
It is a more accessible and simple way for sure!
You are brilliant x It's a crazy time of year to be hitting deadlines and we're all just doing our best x
Thanks Emma. It is a crazy hectic time not only trying to hit deadlines but also trying to hustle to start the year ahead in hopes that this stress level doesn't repeat itself later in 2025.
@esthermarieandujar hoping 2025 is wonderful for you x
Hi sweetheart! Don’t stress out, it’s very difficult to meet deadlines during the holidays. I am trying to complete two projects.
Im gonna try to not stress too much for the rest of the year because it was not fun.
I'm sooo happy for you but also kinda sad it's over. Can't wait for the next adventure (though I'm not sure about your love interest 🤔). I hope we get to see more of my lovely Vampire Queen in the other adventures.
It is always good to close on a chapter but I know I'll miss her. No comment on Kris and no promises on cameos. I'm trying not to be such a tease.
@esthermarieandujar well I know that won't last too long I feel like that is in your DNA. Though can't wait either way.
I love seeing how work. It's so organised!
I'm trying to be more organized for my characters but we shall see cause I really learn about them through the writing.
I also project hop. I wish I could make my brain focus on one project, or focus on the projects that have had some revisions..... but my brain jumps to what it thinks is interesting.
My brain gets easily bored and sometimes the media that I'm consuming inspires me so much that I become obsess with a dynamic or a setting or an aspect of what I'm watching. The more I stay in one thing the more I grow tired of it so I have to project hop in order to not kill my love for writing. Brains are so interesting!
I think if your names are ment to be pronounced in Spanish just go with it. It will help everyone get use to it.
Agreed ❤
This sounds absolutely amazing!
This is such an interesting idea so excited for you
I think this got so big also because the religious conservatives were against the witch craft and so it was also being book banned.
I can image that. For what I remember not a lot of people in my immediate community were against it. I think it was more of a phenomenon here because it got lots of people into reading, which was something teachers struggle a lot.
Lol, I love this friend! Tired and still look amazing. ❤️
thanks!
I love Writing Excuses. I don't listen to it as often as I used to now that they have ads, because my commute to work is 15 minutes and the ads make the episode longer than that. I also like The Creative Penn when I have an hour to listen to it. I Should Be Writing and Ditch Diggers are fun too.
I've definitely fall off the bandwagon of listening to podcast. I'm jotting down I should be writing and Ditch Diggers to check them out.
Just wanted to come on again. I had fun the other night i'm glad I managed to make it to your stream. I am still laughing over loki and you. ehehe
I'm glad you had fun! Loki is such a precious pupper!
I still enjoy rereading the first three, but book four and onwards was a tonal shift for me and I don't like them. But like you, I was already reading. My big fantasy influences were Tamora Pierce and Robin McKinley.
Sadly, I haven't been able to get through book 2. Didn't realized how truly annoying early story Dobby was. While I didn't read everything they wrote but my entrance to fantasy were CS Lewis, Tolkien, Anne Rice, etc.
