Holly Rhiannon
Канада
Добавлен 21 июл 2020
Holly Rhiannon, a lifelong writer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, grew up creating indoors to escape extreme cold. During her years there, she became a certified photographer, studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba, organized a successful alternative art event, and self-published one novella and two graphic novels.
Like many artists from Winnipeg, Holly later moved away, relocating to Montreal in 2015, where she revitalized her creative brand, especially in literature. Today, Holly is the founder and CEO of small press The Stygian Society, and supports her fellow writers through her RUclips channel and Discord.
Her novel, A Time When Demons, was published in 2022, and her poetry appears in The Stygian Collection. Holly also contributes to The Stygian Zine. In 2024, she stepped down as Montreal Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo due to their stance on generative AI and launched her own challenge 'The Order of the Written Word'.

Writing in Dallas | With Holly Rhiannon
Continuing in my essay/journal format which I started with my Writing in Oaxaca video, we greet 2025 with Dallas!
This year I plan to put out a new video every two weeks, alternating with the videos I create for Haunted Montreal. While I had originally plotted out every video for the year, as I set out to actually create my first I thought... I'd much rather decide in the moment what I'd like to produce. Which, once you watch this video will strike you as interesting given the state of mind I've been in.
I hope you enjoy it. :)
Join me today for creativity, introspection and some personal insights.
Enjoy!

Oh, 'systems'... and the more I learn about Winnipeg, the more I figure you as a crime syndicate baddie... 😉
What a great vlog, and voiceover! It's nice to catch up with you on travel detail again 🤗
Excellent! In guess the Canadian equivalent would be Calgary.
What's your mbti?
@@karlrice INTJ-T !
@@HollyRhiannonWrites ah ok, would have guessed ENTJ but that makes sense
@@karlriceoh definitely the opposite of E haha I’m very antisocial and what I do with RUclips has not come naturally 😅 but I think it’s important to do in a creative field these days. What twigged your curiosity btw?
@@HollyRhiannonWrites Ah ok, well take it as a compliment. You sound really natural to me so that's why I thought maybe you were extroverted. Honestly you're way cute and I like your vibe. NTJs are really interesting to me. I saw that you have a video about archetypes so I figured you probably knew your mbti.
This has been a cool video series for me as I'm a voice actor and see these 12 archetypes daily in auditions. It's interesting to think and reflect on these. I'm wanting to develop some core characters that I can then use as basis for my auditions, so I'm diving deeper into each character as I create them. Keep writing! :)
I feel like a good way to visit Dallas is to not over-plan, to have no expectations, and to then be pleasantly surprised. So don't beat yourself up about not planning enough! Also, love your writing.
Damn, girl, I was a "orthodontist kid" (but you went thru some shite!) Good on the Dallas Museum of Art 🎨 Hey, we'd love to have you back on the Monday Night Live Show, if you can make time, end of March? ☘ Hooe so 😊 Youve really trekked about America! 🗽
Enjoyed this but feel awful that you had such a scary experience in my home state.
Thank you! Honestly, it was good to have an experience like that right off the bat so I knew to be a bit more careful. Right away, my coworkers were asking me why I would take transit, which wasn't even something I'd have thought could be an issue, but it certainly was in most of the states I went to. Even with that, I had a largely great time and completely fell in love with the Bishop Arts District! I'd visit again just to stay in that neighbourhood haha
Great video! You made Dallas look fun.
haha thank you! I really fell in love with the Bishop Arts District. Would definitely come back just for that neighbourhood - and another coffee meetup, of course!
Be sure to check out the new Stygian Society website! www.stygiansociety.com
Wow, Holly, you're a rather cheerful fella once we get to know ya.🤪🤡😜
🤔
My self archetype is the innocent
I’m a sage. Nobody can define who I am.
@@m7amm33 but I thought you were a sage ;)
You do not need to reach your literal word count. We must continue the fight against AI.
Hi Where dıd you get thıs information -how he spent a day ?
Ohh it's been awhile! There were a few articles I went through, but this was one for sure - thebookhabit.co.uk/2018/11/07/literary-lifestyles-the-writing-habits-of-charles-dickens/
I really enjoy your channel, especially the way you cover.
Glad everything went well for you!
VERY NICE
Definition of spontaneous and creative thinking: halfway through her speech, Holly invites everyone up for an intense session of musical chairs.🤪
@@stevencorey7702 what? 😂
@HollyRhiannonWrites saw the empty chairs next to you during the interview...made me think of musical chairs 🪑.🤡
I'm not going to hit 30,000 words this year, which is disappointing, but I have written almost 18,000 words so far, which is about six thousand more than I did last year at this time. And there are still four days left, counting today, so maybe I can hit 20,000.
I love your bookshelves 🔥🔥
You are awesome Holly! 😊🎉
Hi Sam. Happy Thanksgiving and...SAVE POPPY! 😁
First? I guess 🎉
Ohhh I wish I’d seen this sooner.. I’ll have to bookmark it for next year! As a very late diagnosis ADHD, it’s become very clear that a deadline is my worst enemy and my best friend 😂..
November is the perfect time to dive into creative productivity! happy writing!
The workshop was awesome (Ren was very helpful, so now I'm a little bummed), and how do I get an Oreo - he's amazing! Thank you, Holly, for putting in the hard work.
Oreo looks like he hit the cat-nip a little hard the night before...🤪
It is very difficult to get inspired. Nice images!
Interesting, thanks for trying to create a nice NaNoWriMo alternative (even if I'm very late to the party 😅)
I have never evaluated texts by actual word count. I did the school system from France. They did not use this type of measurement.
Nice video! Good summary of recent events.
NICE
Congrats on getting started and finding your rhythm!
Dark hair is you...😍😍😍😍(Are you busy, Saturday night?...wait, you live up in Canada.😭😭😭)
You're awesome Holly. Always love these updates and appreciate everything you're doing. It's a lot of work, but you make it happen. And yes, that storage place looks perfect for a movie. Or rave. Or haunting. Or smores.
I see cat, I like❤
Yes! That is Oreo, he is staying at the Meowington Home for Vacationing Cats right now. :)
Do you hate your parents?
@@VladislavBabbitt no they’re my best friends. My mom and I are currently roommates lol why?
One thing that you, and people like yourself, are failing to understand is that not all disabled people have the same disabilities. I don’t need a wheelchair to get around, but I certainly wouldn’t go online to scream about how we don’t need wheelchair accessible ramps in public simply because I don’t have that particular disability. I have a severe traumatic brain injury that has dramatically affected my cognition, and more specifically my ability to communicate and recognize when I have written something incorrectly, or drastically different than I intended to write it. Running my work through AI such as ChatGPT has given me some measure of my ability back. There are people just like me who have been very vocal about this, but you and others like you would like us to remain invisible. And it’s not even those of us with disabilities, but those of us who are well below the poverty line that cannot afford to pay an editor. It is also unreasonable to expect those who are poor to find a human that is available 24/7 to edit our work for free. The fight to remove AI as a reasonable accommodation for those with certain disabilities is unfair and unjust. Utilizing an AI to edit my work does not harm you or anyone else. Taking that away from people with disabilities creates an unnecessary burden for those who are already overburdened in many areas of life. People like yourself have actively sought to shame people with disabilities who benefit tremendously from this accommodation just so you can feel superior. But it’s you who should be ashamed. You should feel tremendous shame in shaming the disabled and then trying to excuse it with a “But some of my best friends” argument.
I am delighted to hear this news. I feel like supporting AI writing, especially without need to attribute that work was done by AI, is really defeating to those of us who work so hard on the craft. While I believe. Creating a novel (or other genre of writing) is very different from actually writing a novel (in my opinion). So....I'm thrilled with the idea of the Order. Unfortunately, not so happy that Discord is the primary platform. I don't do well with that and am not interested in being involved there. It's also too late this year for me to participate. I will follow this channel in hopes that next year other platforms will be available. I am all for celebrating human writers and the craft of writing. Thank you for taking this new path.
Is it too late to join? I’ve been writing
@@pauliecaccamise1980 not at all! Come join us ☺️ discord.gg/tSKDj3BV
Wishing you a fantastic November!
Holly is a hero of the people. Also, the dedicated work space is important: your brain can start associating that location with "writing," which helps you get into the flow. Great as always, Holly!
Agreed!
Yayyyy, Stygians!
NICE
The poet “ Yesterday I died ” he will say Beware the poet for he is an imposter He tells of the beauty of falling snow Born of mythical skies long ago Haunting accounts your soul to foster He tells of love broken and reforged Vows and passions penned in red Beckoning surrender to his tread Know it is your blood drawn on his sword Beware, the tears he shed belong to you He lives of pain, sorrow and lessons learnt No thoughts of salvation left unburnt Until your self surrenders all due Yesterday a poet took the life I knew For a snowflake upon my window flew Yesterday I died And was born anew
Fyi your channel description still makes it sound like you are affiliated with nano. I came here because this seemed like another nano alternative.
@@alesswonderland thank you for the heads up! I’ll go update that. It is difficult to get to every single place where it is mentioned as I was an ML for years and have a multitude of online bios. That being said I feel this video does clarify the situation pretty well. :)
