I completely agree with you!

I I love your videos! Can I ask how I can improve my writing and come up with better ideas? I'm struggling to find inspiration for good ideas.

What keyboard do you have? I clicked this video because it looked cute and it makes a good sound when you type so I'd be keen to know what the brand is!

what a cutie clementine! 💛💛 wishing you all the best during this time and i hope this can be a good mental break, regardless of how it came about <3

I’m obsessed with Clemmy! She’s adorable! 😻 I’m so sorry you got laid off. I hope you can find something else soon when it’s right for you. I’m looking forward to your updates on THE FLOATING HOUSE and your future projects! How cool is it that you got to read MOTHS? 😍

hii love your videos!! i have a question do you think its possible for me to query my book to agents if i wrote it with my sister? do you think its a turn off for agents? do they accept manuscripts from 2 authors ?

I found your channel pretty recently and I'm kind of obsessed with the way you talk about scenes and troubleshooting in writing

This is so unrelated I know but you're stunningly beautiful!!

You know sometimes life derails and it is okay hahahaha you will be fine and you will figure it out! Congratulations on going full time!

These tech layoffs have been brutal. I was told that they were supposed to be slowing down after the big ones last year/early this year, but evidently, that is not the case. Sorry to hear about your layoff. I hope that you're doing well, even after all that happened that week. [On a (very random) side note, I've recently started reading through Jade City because of your vlogs, after having it on the backlog for a while, and I'm really enjoying it. So, thanks for that. Haha]

Ur novel sounds so cool!!!!

so sorry to hear what a stressful time this has been. thinking of you and your parents and i hope the next few months bring relief <3 so excited for ko-fi and future updates!!

Although, it sucks to be laid it’s a miracle to get this opportunity to delve into writing ✍️ ❤ Congratulations on the other hand to becoming a full time writer so excited to watch and read to you on the this journey 🎉

Omg I react the same way whenever my dog leaves me LOL (I'm terribly codependent with her 😂) I'm sorry about the layoff! I wish you luck with everything

Ah no, I'm sorry to hear about the layoff! I hope it will be a silver lining to be able to focus more on writing 💖 Also Clementine is a cutie!

I couldn't believe when you showed the section of you gwtting fired. But this event is definitely a blessing in disguise. I say take this opportunity tonfocus on your writing and I cant wait to learn more about the THF its sounds like such a cool book. Also Clemmy so precious!❤😍

I use AI for small things like places that don’t have much relevance

Ik I said on twitter already but so sorry you got laid off! As someone who lost their job recently, it just really really sucks in the ickiest, stressful way! ( content roles 🤝 tech roles- love making ppl jobless lmaooo) I hope things start looking up for you soon, and once I am back in work I will be running to your ko-fi page! 🏃‍♀️ also clemmy is the most darling girl I'm obsessed 🥹🥹🥹

I'm sorry you were laid off, that's rough :( but I hope that your next job comes soon and is so much better! Also hope you get lots of writing time!

I'm sorry to hear about that you've been laid off. I'm going to hope it's a sign of life making room for better things to come. I've been loving your vlogs as motivation as I'm going through my own writing journey, working on a dark fantasy inspired by Caribbean folklore. Best of luck with everything!

Oh my heart. That poor kitty.

Your ability to smile and laugh about these things, so soon after they've all happened, is incredible! Love what you do, and hope that the rest of July gives you a well-deserved break

So sorry about the lay off. I’ve been there and it sucks but it seems like you have a plan. Good luck on the writing!!

I've never been this early but I'm loving it

Oh are you pinay? I'm trying to find more filipino authors to read. Have any recs?

I was writing my near future SF novel for Nano. The horror novel (about a mandurugo and a manananggal, mortal enemies) keeps calling. I can relate to the "next book siren song." I love the kitty! ❤❤ For fight scenes, I'd recommend Fight Write. Happy writing.

love your videos! could you share the type of keyboard you have/a link? the typing sound is so nice!

The Last House on Needless Street BLEW MY MIND!!! I immediately ran to read another book of Catriona Ward's, Sundial.

I'm a little late to the party, but as a software engineer, sci-fi writer, and aspiring author, I can't begin to express how much I enjoyed this video. It's incredibly frustrating and troubling that generative AI is being used to "create" art. It speaks volumes about our current society and its values (or lack thereof). The output from the F. Scott Fitzgerald prompt really demonstrated how today's generative AI can only mimic writing at a mediocre level. It doesn't understand semantics, theme, or the overall flow of good prose. I can't imagine how it would botch character development and relationships in a full-fledged book since it can't experience or comprehend those things either. Since today's large-language generative AI models aren't sentient, I firmly agree with what Kris mentioned. However, I do think my stance would be challenged should these AI models become sentient. Growing up, I read published books, listened to music, watched movies and TV shows, and studied paintings, sculptures, etc. at museums. It took me years to develop my identity, opinions, and voice, but all of that came from what I consumed when I was younger and who I interacted with. We developed AI models to learn in our likeness. We give those models tons of books, music, movies, paintings to train and learn on. (Although, to actually justify this, the companies that make the AI models should pay the artists a royalty like how I would pay for a book or a museum ticket). Its learning process may not take years, but does it mean its learning process is different than ours? And if it became sentient, why would its thoughts and feelings be valued any less than ours? So, if an AI model became sentient, this is why I think I'd have trouble defending my current view. But I don't know. I think I just gave myself a headache trying to phrase all this. This is why I sometimes hate being a software engineer and a writer, especially in this day and age. 😅 Anyways, thanks for the food for thought, Kris!

for me chapter length is such a struggle. i have written 12k chapters several times, and once a 16K chapter. of course i have to split them but it's a struggle.

A belated congratulations! What a great video.

Hey Kris! I’m writing my first book right now and I have a pretty solid plot but I have no idea what to do for the chuck of time in the mid-plot. Do you have any recommendations on how to fill it?

I feel this in my soul tbh

hard agree, kris. i think the most poignant note you made was about the feeling of fixing things yourself. that's the thing that creates writers, i feel. without the experience of having a problem and fixing it on your own, there will be no growth

I have the same key caps❤️❤️

If I’m ever ‘using’ ai, it’s me asking questions, not getting sufficient answers. Or if I’m like, ooh, make summary. Do this. I do those things, fully expecting dog shit. Idk. Sometimes it’s momentarily fun to mess with. And then quickly frustrating bc it’s not as good as it claims to be. It’s a program. A robot. A machine. No real context for anything I ask. Um, but regardless of if ai gets better. You should not use ai to write a book?? Like. Whole paragraph scene chapters. No ai art. None of that. But it can be a fun interesting little thing for five minutes.

Omg both of you are so pretty!! I kept getting distracted by just staring at both of you hehe. This is such an engaging conversation!! I was wondering how different my writing would be (characterization, themes) if I understood psychology in such a deep and professional way as Ana does!
