Congrats, congrats, and even more congrats on finishing this. I felt that at 14:45 (and I'd argue that that was an appropriate level of aggressiveness given the circumstances. 😤) "Maybe the secret all along was to just publicly shame myself by making an ongoing writing vlog series about my writing process." That gave me a good chuckle, and from what I've seen on RUclips, there does seem to be a fair amount of truth to that. Never underestimate the power --evil-- of the RUclips audience™. 😈 (Although, you do seem to have a pretty cool audience. Which...might make that pressure worse, actually. 🤔) I hate to be "that guy" that brings up the "mystical/untranslatable" Japanese word/phrase, but I feel obligated in this case. There's the term "mono no aware" that refers to the transient/ephemeral nature of things (and all the feelings associated with it). And that, I think, sums up how I felt watching this entry. Lots of new beginnings on the horizon, but lots of doors had to be closed in the process. At the very least, though, we have documented proof that these things happened, and I think it's really cool that you'll be able to go back to these moments and see exactly how you felt and thought while all this was going on. It might not be a replacement for actually being there and experiencing it firsthand, but it's definitely something. (And hey, at least there will be less bed bug experiences, hopefully. Haha)
Thank you!! haha I do like to think that my audience is pretty non-evil :) What an interesting term, thank you for sharing-it definitely seems suitable for this period in my life!
You are truly an inspiration Lynn 😢 honestly heart touching. I LOVED the aggressive finish line expression. I have learned a lot from you. You have a loyal fan base.
HOLY?! I knew this was going to finish soon, but wow. When it actually happened it's even more surprising (pleasantly surprising mind you :)). Congrats on finishing the book!!!
WOW LYnn, congratulations on finishing Moths. I got so excited and happy for you as I watched you type away. Super proud of you! I look forward to seeing the next video! you're an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
HUGE congratulations again!!!! So proud of you for finishing and everything you've said about moths has me so excited to hopefully read it one day! Also Monty is so big now 🥺🥺
Welcome back to southern California (I say as a fellow southern Californian). Monty has gotten so big! You must be relieved to be home! 😻 I hope you had a safe journey from Thailand back home and thank you for wearing a mask! Congratulations on finishing MOTHS! What an accomplishment . I’m looking forward to seeing your revision vlogs! I really want to see how those go! I’m so excited for you! After a 7 month hiatus from my PhD dissertation novel (also an Adult Fantasy), I’ve also started revising and will be revising the rest of this month. This is my 4th draft. I hope to query somewhere between April and June, but June at the latest. June is the goal. I hope both of our query journeys lead us to hopeful destinations. I’m definitely a little nervous! 🥹
congrats! i subbed about a month ago and followed moths from ur first mention on this channel to now (your videos are so bingeable!!) i can’t wait to read it and i’m so inspired by ur journey
Great, now you have to self-edit or hire an editor $$$ Good luck with that If you ever publish that book traditionally or through self-publishing, beware of my highlighter and annotations It's not really a personal thing It's just that every fictional writer I come across usually has something that gives away that it's a work of fiction, and well, I notice and point it out with my annotations
This video got me so excited for MOTHS. Thank you for the lovely shout out hehe. I'm so excited for what's to come

AAAHHH😊
Well you write twice as fast as Donna Tartt
Great, now you have to self-edit or hire an editor $$$
Good luck with that
If you ever publish that book traditionally or through self-publishing, beware of my highlighter and annotations
It's not really a personal thing
It's just that every fictional writer I come across usually has something that gives away that it's a work of fiction, and well, I notice and point it out with my annotations
I am literally so excited for this book and can’t wait to read it
ahh thank you, and that's so amazing!! i'll check it out!
