Holy hell. I’m so glad that you’re okay. I’ve always heard that the risk of blood clots just is not emphasized enough/underestimated for women with birth control. I’m just so, so happy that you’re okay omg. Please take care and I’m glad the hospital staff made the process easier. I’m so excited about the fight and action scenes you’ve been mentioning. I love hearing your thought process about showing the training scenes before the competition and it’s so fascinating and will be cool to remember when I actually read tbh. Rooting for you with drafting and the rest of submissions! Excited for the upcoming cover reveal!
Yeah, I definitely feel that way now. When I followed up with my doctor she had another patient who had blood clots from birth control. It does definitely feel like the risk should be made more clear. Yeah, it’ll be interesting when people start reading it to see the thought process on the page. And thank you!!!
I'm so glad you knew to ask for help quickly and the hospital took good care of you. 💜 Thank you for another great monthly vlog. It's inspiring watching you chip away at this draft of book 2 one day at the time. 🥰
Omigosh I'm so glad you're ok! I work in the healthcare field and I see pulmonary embolisms all the time. These can be deadly! Now you have a story to tell.
So excited for the Mastery of Monsters series! The combat aspect made me think of the way demi gods trained in the Percy Jackson books. The point wasn't to kill but to have real world experience where dying in combat was a reality.
I’m happy you’re excited! And I haven’t read Percy Jackson but that’s exactly it. Like sure, you could die, but the point is not culling people in that way. They want you to succeed
i really appreciate your vulnerability in relation to being on submission. Rejection can make you doubt yourself in ways that make me recoil from publishing sometimes. Best of luck!!
Yeah, I usually am very tight lipped about sub but I realized there’s no real reason to be? And so I hoped it would be helpful to people to see the journey because wow it IS a journey. I totally get it being a turn off with publishing because rejection can be so gruelling
That's so scary! I'm so glad you recognized the emergency. It doesn't have to be our business but I appreciate that you did as it's a good reminder for those using BC to be aware of possible side effects.
So glad to hear that your doing Okay Liselle! Please be cautious with having had a Pulmonary Embolism that may increase your risk in older age of stroke. I only know this because I have had a PE and have had 2 Strokes. Not meaning that you will just keep an yourself being checked. So happy to hear that you are still writing! and are on the go!
Yeah, I figured that I probably have some risk in the future so I’m getting custom compression stockings made for if I have to fly or drive for long, and will definitely be getting checked out annually for sure
I'm glad you're okay and thank you for sharing! Definitely scary, but it's good you were aware of your body's changes. Congrats on your momentum as you continue working on the book. It's so interesting to remember those moments when we forget how to write and feel stuck, scared, or lost. And then in a different week how we can be so engrossed in a world and story we are creating and having fun with it.
Thank you!! And yeah I will be paying more attention to my body and trusting my instincts more for sure. And it’s so true the way you can have such ups and downs with a story. It’s part of why I like doing these vlogs because one the journey is over it’s so easy to forget a lot of that. Or at least it is for me. So it’s nice to have this record
@@LiselleSambury I agree. Something to look back on to remember the journey. Though I haven't rewatched any of my videos much, but I look forward to doing so.
So glad you went to the doctor! Also, just wanted to say that I am not generally a big book person, but I have loved the pacing of your books that I have read so far. It’s always tough to balance character focus and plot, but I think you do it really well 🎉
NEW SUBSCRIBER!! I'm so glad you're feeling and doing better. I hope you continue to get better. Thx for all of your videos; they're very insightful. Much continued success on your books!
Just found your channel and subbed! I write in the thriller genre, and I am in the process of revising what I *hope* will be my debut novel! Love your vibes and energy and I am excited to start following your journey!! I am so sorry about your medical scare, but I am glad that they were able to get to the bottom of it and that you are ok! Sending you all of the healing vibes!
I’m so glad you’re okay! That sounds really scary! Hope you continue to be okay. 💜 Thanks for the chat about rejection! It never ends, does it? I went through a pretty bad depression at the end of August/very beginning of September because of rejections. I’m querying my PhD dissertation novel, also sending multiple short story submissions, and have been getting rejected from those, job rejections, fiction contest rejections, screenwriting fellowship rejections (I’m also a screenwriter), and rejected from a paying disability policy fellowship. It’s so much! I also got rejected from another opportunity to be in a traditionally published anthology again, but at least I wrote that short story and I tried! If I was just getting querying rejections, I don’t think it would bother me as much, but as I’m getting rejections from most things in multiple formats/genres/categories, it definitely is starting to get to me! Hopefully I’ll get something soon! I’m still waiting on a few more opportunities. Thank you again for the pep talk! 🥰 Wishing you all the best with the drafting of the second book in the MASTERY OF MONSTERS trilogy! So excited for it! 🎉
Thank you!! And Urg that is really hard to deal with rejection when you’re submitting to all those things. I get how that would be so hard. They can pile up. It’s like getting bad news all at once. It’s never a fun time and I hope you’ll get some good news soon
Glad you’re okay Liselle!!! ❤ Just starting the vlog and I just want to add that I’m so happy I’m not the only author who gets nervous that they forgot how to write in between projects 😭
So glad to hear you are okay. That is so scary. Happy to hear you are fun with your book despite not wanting to work. How long have you been sewing? Your finished pieces look so good.
Thank you!! And yes, despite the lack of motivation at least when I get down to it, it’s a good time. And I learned to machine sew when I was like 13, so I’ve been doing it for multiple decades now. But I only really started earnestly making garments in the last three years or so. And thank you! I do try really hard with them. I’m not perfect but I always happily wear my stuff and people use them when I give them as gifts too, so that’s great
I think your Tik Tok issue is that your camera is at too low of an angle. It looks like you have to keep looking down. You should raise it more eye level or higher.
I honestly took a bunch of other TikTok’s with a tripod at eye level and the whole thing and they perform basically the same 😂 I think the algorithm has just changed a lot. A lot of authors across the board have said they’ve experienced this too. In the past I could get 10k plus views on my low angle video lol but not such anymore, even with a tripod video
@@LiselleSambury I don’t do Tik Tok myself, but I watch content there and I’m subscribed to you, but the app never shows me your Tik toks, I have to search for them. I heard you have to go live once a day and have shop items to get prioritized by algorithm. Seems like a lot of work. You’ve got a lot of energy to produce as much content as you do and also write books!
Hey Man , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
Hi! I’m all good for help. I just do these videos for fun and to help people out. I’m not really looking to invest money in the form of assistance. Thanks though

Yeah, i’m glad I realized the seriousness in time. And happy you enjoyed the vlog!
Its insane that they couldn’t bring out a wheelchair for you from your car.
You know what… I didn’t even think of that?! 🤦🏾♀️ they definitely should have just done that
Omigosh I'm so glad you're ok! I work in the healthcare field and I see pulmonary embolisms all the time. These can be deadly! Now you have a story to tell.
Yeah definitely a story haha and yeah I learned that definitely not everyone makes it through them so I’m very glad to be okay
So excited for the Mastery of Monsters series! The combat aspect made me think of the way demi gods trained in the Percy Jackson books. The point wasn't to kill but to have real world experience where dying in combat was a reality.

OMG, Liselle, thank goodness you’re okay!! Blood clots are scary
Yeah I’ve been weirdly calm about it but I’m objectively aware that it could have been very bad, so glad we caught it
So glad you’re okay! Literally terrifying.
Thank you!!
i really appreciate your vulnerability in relation to being on submission. Rejection can make you doubt yourself in ways that make me recoil from publishing sometimes. Best of luck!!

Yeah I’m glad everything was okay in the end. And yeah definitely hope that helps others in being aware that those side effects can become very real
OMG Liselle, I'm so glad you're okay!
Another great vlog! I'm loving following your progress on this book!
Thank you! And yay happy you’re liking watching the journey ☺️ I’m loving sharing this series
I'm glad yall caught it in time and that you're doing better.
Yes, thank you so much!! I’m glad we caught it too
So glad you are ok
Thank you! Me too!
OMG LISELLE!! I'm so glad you're doing fine that's so scary. >.< Take care of yourself
Thank you!! And definitely trying to haha I’m certainly paying a lot more attention to my body 😅

Ah, I want to see the art you commissioned! Can't wait.
Thank you!! And omg I can’t wait to show it off once I figure out what I’m doing with it haha
I'm glad you're okay and thank you for sharing! Definitely scary, but it's good you were aware of your body's changes.

Thank you!! And yes omg definitely not the only one haha. I sometimes even get that feeling if I’ve taken even a couple weeks of a break from writing.
So glad to hear you are okay. That is so scary. Happy to hear you are fun with your book despite not wanting to work. How long have you been sewing? Your finished pieces look so good.

Still watching the video, but omg that is horrifying. I'm so glad you're ok.
Thank you!! I’m also glad haha. It was good we went to the hospital when we did.
@@LiselleSambury I know that is some scary stuff. I'm sorry you went through that.
