Stories are absolutely vital to us!

Can't wait to see you at Reunion Book Fair!

Congrats and I love your channel! 😊

New subscriber here and I signed up for your newsletter. As a new writer myself hearing another's insights is so valuable. Congratulations on "This Cruel Fate". I'm still at the editing stage myself so it's encouraging to see someone who made it through that. I've bought it on kindle and will be sure to leave a review once I've read it.

Congratulations! Gonna go get a copy right now!

Looking beautiful!

🤩🤩🤩

Love the vibes!

This sounds so cool!

I hate when this happens. But it’s also so exciting and I just want to pursue all of them.

Lol, yes people never agree on anything esp what they think of sequels

"how did you say so much without saying anything at all" 💀😂

How do you not like Harry Potter?But you like lord of the rings. They have so many similarities. I'm that same way tbh. Love harry potter but so far lord of the rings doesn't intrest me

I love harry potter

Yay the rare fellow person who never liked the wizard boy books! Now I need to find others that think Brandon sanderson's books are boring elaborate spredsheets not stories.

Thank you for defending suzanne Collins

such a funny video maddi!! loved the vibes

You're VERY brave. I can't read 1-star reviews of my favourite books. I take it way too personally.

Woohoo! It's easy to get caught up in revisions that are infinite. You have to reach a point where you just let it go as it is, warts and all. Glad to see you back and doing well!

Congratulations on the new job. Writing at home and getting paid for it is an amazing feeling! Your content is super inspiring, but continue to take your time to recover! I can't wait to see the new version of the book!

I relate to wanting to go back into the past. It’s so easy to be distracted now

I’m glad RUclips blessed me with your video 🤍 I love your vibe Also; a Dune/Star Wars like story sounds great. I definitely feel you with having deeper tones to your stories. Edit: we’re twinning with the exact same keyboard and colour! Wow lol

thanks for sharing this, definitely helped me put my burnout in a different perspective ♡ can't wait to read more of your work

This was very insightful, I feel like I've been also going through some burnout and have been kinda mean to myself as well. Rest is super important but yeah it is so hard to find that balance. ❤

Good job for taking care of yourself. The Internet is a lot less urgent than we think it is, so good job for taking time out. It's great to see you back, but it's even better that you're healthy.

Agree! I feel the pressure and see others doing so much better than me. I've had to put reading/writing aside when I started college, and my writing went downhill. I've also gone through career changes and motherhood, and I'm finally in a place where I can focus on the two again. Audiobooks have been a lifesaver for me, and I finally finished the second draft of my novel.... And I've also observed authors' writings go downhill from producing and producing just to meet the demands of fans/publishers. Definitely take things slow.

wonderful video :) thank you!

Hey Maddi! I rarely comment on your videos but I've been enjoying your content since your world building vlog, I find it super inspiring and use it as a breather between whatever I'm working on. I often stress to finish projects and I can see the shift in quality of work when I do. This applies to more than writing, which you've nuanced by saying art, and I cannot agree more. Thanks for the video

hi maddi (: fellow slow writer here. i think quality wins over quantity every single time. we slow writer girlies are just as valid as those who write faster. we're all on our own writing journeys and that's okay!

The average American has a 7th grade reading level... that hurts me. Greatly. It makes me worried that writing with the fancy vocab I enjoy is going to shrink my readerbase.

Keep going for quality. I think it's better to put something out something polished, in the long run.

Great analysis. I love writing dialogue.x

Great stuff! I love this kind of detailed analysis on the craft. Thank you!

Just binge watched alll your videos and I'm so happy I found you, I want to be friends and I would love to see a video on how you edit your novels. You're so right, RUclips can be pretty overwhelming, I started ny RUclips Channel this month and I'm curious to see where this goes. I might send you a message on Instagram! I love your videos so much, keep up the good work :)

'bubble of reflection' - I love this idea x

Great video! I appreciate the reflection on goal-setting and embracing change, both in storytelling and life and I myself have a very hard timmmee with this too ugh! It's such a struggle. I am like you, I work a LOT so it does make it harder to be super committed the way I want to be. It's evident that you're investing in yourself and your craft and thats admirable in an of itself. I'm excited to follow your journey as you continue to grow as a storyteller! 💫

isaiah 48:3 i foretold the former things long ago, my mouht annouced them and i made them known then suddenly i acted and they came to pass keep working on your writing craft but also repeat thoughts for hours i am one of the bestselling authors of all time with 1 billion books sold repeat thoughts for hours 12/9/2023

random note but the color of your sweater really suits you :)

Hi how are you? My name is Kostas and i am from Greece Which kind of books do you like to read?

I highly recommend "Street Candles" by David Collins-Rivera. Really unique sci fi, and a powerfully emotional story about political instability and war. Haunted me for weeks. (don't be fooled by the truly lackluster cover art)

Literally took me watching your review to realize I had confused Fall of Ruin and Wrath with JLAs other book Rage and Ruin. I will never be on her side for her naming; characters, series, places, or books. It is the most confusing thing to introduce people to her.

Extraordinary people do ordinary things for an extraordinary period of time I am watching Jessica Brody writing mastery academy everyday I watch a few courses If I keep watching for 15 years maybe I can be an extraordinary novelist with new York times bestsellers

Needs lots of repetition

Hello from New Hampshire/Maine! :)

Wait it’s your book, I love it

Just found your channel! Hope the writing is still going well. Juggling creative endeavors with full time work is always a lot.

Yesss that pumpkin chai is the catalyst of all good things. ❤️

sitting and staring is a VITAL part of writing lol!

Loved hearing your process.x

I love hearing your thought process behind your work. Also, TIL that "line edit" is a writing term. It's great to hear the official terminology for these processes.
