    When you say every book you write you put a piece of yourself in... it made me think of horcruxes. And in a way all books are horcruxes that keep a part of its author alive within its pages... which could only mean one thing: J. K. Rowling is immortal because there are 7 Harry Potter books and there are 7 horcruxes in the series. Mind = blown

Thanks for being such a great role model to grow up to :) can't help but feel all emotional now that I'm almost done high school and that you're almost done writing YOUR OWN BOOK! HOW CRAZY IS THAT! I absolutely can't wait to read it

      ^ Not having motivation to do something doesn't necessarily mean you don't enjoy doing it. It's just easy to forget how much you like some things, and with writing it's hard when you don't have the creativity

    • @emilyelisabeth7481
      @emilyelisabeth7481 7 лет назад +2

      Yeah^ and I enjoy writing so much it's just that I've been so busy managing my job and working like six days a week and also trying to juggle five AP classes on top of applying for scholarships and trying to apply for college so whenever I actually have like downtime I have trouble getting the motivation to write instead of sleep lol. I used to never be able to stop but then I had to actually start worrying about life and stuff ;-; sigh

    I'm not the biggest fan of booktubers who get published because I see that most of the time they only get published because of their sub-count and not the quality of their work but it makes me happy to see a booktuber who's putting blood, sweat and tears into their manuscript, as it should be. Kudos for that and good luck with your endeavours.

    I can't wait to read your book! I just hope I get to buy it because I'm from Serbia and I may have to wait for it. Will you promise your book will be published in Serbia?
