A Study in Drowning is on my TBR! It sounds so good. I love your vibe counter! 😂

YES I LOVED WE SPREAD !!!! sadly dnf’d a study in drowning :’( hope you have better luck!!! malice house sounds so good!!! I want to pick up haunted ever after!!! I WANT TO READ THE PUMPKIN SPICE CAFE SOOO BAD i went to barnes and noble and they were sold out :( I have you, again on my tbr for this season!!! good luck with your tbr!!!!

A Study in Drowning and Pumpkin Spice Cafe are on my TBR too :) I'll have to check these others out.

I really enjoyed When Among Crows as well!! I also started You've Got Chain Mail. I think my Kindle is dying though, because it keeps skipping chunks of pages and sometimes when I open it there are weird symbols instead of words. 😳 It's done that on a couple books now. So.....I had to pause You've Got Chain Mail (although I'm really enjoying it so far!!) until I can get that figured out. 😂

I loved When Among Crows too!

wow

Enjoyed the video. As a published author, working on his second project, I could agree more with your comments and in fact a few of your suggestions are things I am going to try.

Thoroughly enjoyed your suggestions. As an author myself, I could not agree more. And some of your suggestions seem incredibly interesting. Thanks.

how has this not blown up? the transitions are seriously on point!! 😲

Those transitions were sick.

YES YES YES , YES TO EVERYTHING! ❤💖😍

I unintentionally have been doing all of that (aside from connecting with other writers- Introvert here) and honestly, I cannot stress enough how important an outline is. I was a pantser before and as soon as I started to actually plan things (I use the snowflake method, if anyone’s heard of it) the quality of my work skyrocketed so much that I facepalmed myself for why I did not do that earlier. 😂

Awesome!!!

Congrats on the sponsorship!!!! Love the recomendations!!!

congrats big sis i only subbed recently i am so happy for you 💝

Doing a reading sounds like a nightmare. You did a great job though!

I was lucky to have a teacher in high school who forced us to learn to outline. I hated it, and never used outlines in college. I wrote huge science papers without outlining, so I figured I could do the same when writing a novel later on. 4 started-but-never-finished novels later, I decided to try outlining my current wip and, lo and behold, I'm now working on my second draft. 🙌🏼

Trope Recommendations: Bad Buddy (Thai TV show) - Enemies to lovers/rivals to lovers, Forbidden love/forbidden romance, Forced proximity, and possibly Childhood sweethearts although only one sided. ---- Two neighbors whose families hate each other meet up again in college when their friend groups get into a fight. Scum Villain Self Saving System (Novel) - Miscommunication trope -----An anti-fan wakes up as the villain in the novel he was reading before he died. Because the original was a Harem novel, he just wants to be his well respected teacher instead of getting killed by the MC like the original story. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim - Workplace romance (Webcomic/Korean TV Show) --- The CEO proposes to his Secretary after she gives her two weeks notice in an attempt to keep her working for him.

This is such helpful and practical advice. Also Reedsy's course sounds fantastic! I can't do this next one but I see there's another starting end of October that I might try to join. Question about social media...do you think that it matters the specific form of social media? I've seen people say Instagram is the only way to go and others say Instagram isn't all that great for authors. One of the reasons I started my BookTube was to start creating an online presence for myself and my writing, but I've been debating Instagram as well.

That's so interesting! And encouraging to see that it's possible to write a whole book per year with a full time job and other hobbies!

Happy belated birthday! I read When Among Crows last month. It took me a bit to get into it as well but then I ended up enjoying it. It stresses me out having so many books out from the library too!! And I say that as I currently have 5 from the library and 5 more ready for me to pick up. 😳 I got You've Got Chain Mail on my Kindle! Can't wait to dive in! (Probably after I finish some of these library books 🤣 )

Thank you for this!!! So helpful

I did my first attempt of a yearlong book buying ban this year. On January 1, I started the ban. On January 6, I purchased a book lmao

I love this. Please do more videos like this. ❤

Ahh, congrats on your new release! ❤🥰

Congrats on the sponsorship! This was so cool to watch!

As we say in Greece, may it has good travels ❤🎉 (καλοτάξιδο!) meaning may it be bought by many people from different places on earth - may it travel to every book loving corner of the earth!

Well done!! Subscribed and on the journey with you 🎉❤

How do you find a writing group? I'm struggling with that

Getting on social media from the jump is soooo true! 👏🏾 Nearly all of the indie authors I follow tend to show screenshots of the rank or sales whenever a post or video goes viral online 👌🏽 Not only does it sell books, but just sharing snippets of your world, characters and writing style draws people in. That's one of the reasons I started my socials this year! 🥰 I'm still struggling to build my writing habit, but these tips are great as usual! ❤

My favorite book is 'Silent Patient' by alex michaelides !.. Just enjoyed this book a lot 🤌

Writer here! I 100 percent agree witg these tips

This was really helpful! Another habit I would add to this list is doing some sort of brain draining/dumping exercise before you start working. This could be Julia Cameron's "Morning Pages" or 15 minutes of stream of consciousness journaling. I find that this really helps me clear my head and get more alert (I typically start writing at 4:30 am 😅)

How do you actually find writing groups and friends online??

The Argonauts is fantastic. I’m actually due for a reread of that one.

Appreciate the level of detail. And the pie charts😀

Thanks for the book suggestions!! ❤

Dungeons and Drama sounds awesome. I'm going to have to pick up your book if it's D&D related.

This is so cool and insightful!

I need to pick up that new Krystal Sutherland book. Love the different books!

Writing-related videos get me in the mood. But they also distract me. It's a tough balance.

Ik this is a pretty old video but I’ve gotta say how much I love using storygraph! I love seeing all the charts and graphs of my reading habits and the .5 star ratings. I also really like the tons of reading challenges and that you can make your own and even track buddy reads :) Goodreads in my opinion needs to update and have more features it gets boring for me

I clicked that thumbs up button on your content. Can't wait to see your next video from you. Really cool upload, Searching for Samantha. Sustain the wonderful work.

2:00 - 2:30 ❤🥰

2:15 done

done

I am in love with the off campus and brair u series, i love everything elle kennedy writes❤

My favorite book of the year for now is Happy Place, but thats also a very hard question😂 I loved multiple books Ive read this year, like Powerless, The fortress and the figurine, The Housemaid, etc.❤
