Book Review of Son of Shadows by Juliet Marillier
I was frustrated with Capricon over February with them being in downtown Chicago. Despite saving money not getting a hotel room in the city and commuting everyday from Joliet, I needed to blow so much cash on Spothero. With that, parking ate too much into my table profits. I don't plan to returning to Capricon if they continue doing this in the middle of the city. I will be tabling at Windycon this year and even moderating a few panels for the first time, I am feeling the sting of the diminishing returns of going to these shows. I'm surprised about the lack of accessibility knowing most of their audience are older folks with less mobility. I wonder if those shows have trouble getting new blood into their convention council. Perhaps we'll meet there in the future when they're in a better place!
Wow that really sucks! I'm so sorry to hear that CapriCon is really going downhill. I hope you do well at WindyCon this year! 🙏💖💖💖
At this point, I just hope that Windy and Capri make it through the next few years.
Also, Inconjunction in Indiana was on the small side compared to Windy and Capricorn, but was a good time and relatively cheap to do. Haven't been in a few years, though, so I don't know what it looks like post-Covid.
@@bdetzner8175 Thank you for the heads up on Inconjunction in Indiana. I'll check it out! 🙏💖💖💖
Which conventions have you removed from your con circuit and why?
RaptorCon. For reasons.
@@theliterarymercenary1699 Omg yes! 😂
Anime Midwest and it's circle for sex pest reasons.
@@mastafran Absolutely!
Great review, I loved watching sorcha grow up in spite of xyz. She's a strong woman. Also loved finbar *sigh*. I am going to continue with the series. It feels so unique
Thank you so much! The series is amazing.
So relaxing.
Thank you! 🙏💖💖💖
Do you find nighttime drives relaxing or nerve-wracking?
White people created? How racist! Have you ever visited other non- white countries where they treat white women like sluts because they have an image of western white women as being slutty? I hate it when people get so racist against whites that they create universal human problems in their minds and attribute all mankind’s problems to just white people. You are white. It’s sickening!
How do you handle a show or convention that yields no sales?
I lost touch with my artistic confidence and with it my love of art and writing, it felt like my entire sense of self died. I didn't know who I was outside of that, but I eventually recovered and found that I still loved illustrating and writing. I won't die just because I don't produce as often as I used to-- though overcoming my creative insecurities and perfectionism is a different struggle. I face it with a healthier mindset than before. This video helped me meditate on a lot, thank you. I love your energy! :)
I'm glad you're in a healthier place. Balance is so important. Today's world of hustle and commodification of everything can make it easy for us to lose sight of ourselves. 🙏💖💖💖
Such an important question! i've been pondering upon exactly the same thing for some time now, ever since it was first asked on my first semester of creative writing years ago. And i'm happy to hear someone else's take on it, moreover someone published :) For me, writing is just inevitable. I can't escape it. It's a part of me. I walk, I breathe, I drink water, I write, I run, I eat. Tried to leave it and find something more lucrative, but no. It's also amazing to hear that someone else has the same problem as I do: no writing block, just the issue of time and energy :D Just found your channel. Thank you for this material and your take, I'm on my way to check out more of your content and some of your works:) Sending much love from Poland xoxo
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. 🙏💖💖💖
Who is your current favorite indie designer?
I may not be making the big bucks, but writing is beyond even my passion, it's my reason for living. Even in my darkest days, I have written stories. What does writing mean to you? Why do you do it?
My editor, who owned a small publishing company, recently died. He was a good friend of mine. I did not have him publish me though.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Using your synesthesia to create writing/art is so interesting! The artwork inside looks awesome, were the costs way higher to get colour & quality paper printing? I'd love to hear where/how you did that :)
Thank you so much! The book cost is higher due to the color printing and the photo quality paper. We publish through Amazon and use a book layout artist to get everything right.
Have you read Synesthesia Nature?
The lace is very pretty!
Thank you! I think so too!
Making a structure for details to fit in with the narrative over a long period of time. For me, making a story is easy, but making the details make sense to the reader and organizing the plot is the toughest.
I'm all in for the realistic tough love vibe! Subbed :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 🙏💖💖💖
Do you have any Looking Glass Garments pieces in your wardrobe? Which one is your favorite?
What is the most challenging part of the writing process for you?
When starting a new chapter, it can get frustrating to figure out what to write next especially if not being in the headspace for it.
My anxiety has been keeping me from writing. I keep thinking how bad my writing is or the characters, and how bad this or that is and it's been struggling for 10 years. Meanwhile Poetry I have confidence in lol
Hello! I keep hearing mixed reviews about Pancake & Booze over booking artists.
They have different locations. This was the Chicago one. I had a really bad time at the 2019 one, but the 2024 one was great.
@@alice-the-author Was it at Reggie's? It's my first time that I'll be there Oct 19.
@@bunnyluvsusagi Yes, it was Reggie's.
@@alice-the-author thank you for the clarification. Were the artists upstairs or downstairs?
@@bunnyluvsusagi I was downstairs. I'm physically disabled, so I wanted to be sure I didn't have to go up and down lots of stairs.
Really enjoying living vicariously through these right now!
Miss you both bunches!

What advice would you want to provide to new authors to help safeguard their publishing futures?
This nearly happened, as my publisher had Covid. We didn't know till after the fact.
That's so scary! I'm glad your publisher is okay.
