love watching your vlogs!! not to be dramatic lol, but watching you be so at peace with not writing as much as you want helps me to do the same for myself ❤️ thank you for posting!
YAYYYY I'm so happy, tbh I've reallyyyyy been struggling to write since literallyyyy May, and it just happens--that's life! It's slowlyyyy starting to come back to me now, but veryyy slow haha! So you're not alone!
@@rachelwritesbooks I totally get it--finding the time and space to write can be so difficult!! but the fact that you still make an effort to write anyway and make these vlogs is really encouraging for me
Your writing corner is sooooo cozy 🥹 I peeped the character art and now I'm mad that I don't draw my OCs. Adding that to the ol' to do list 😅 Welcome back!
Hi, Rachel! Yay! You’re back! I loved this vlog! I hope you post another when you’re inspired to. I hope you’ve been doing okay in the in-between and I’ll try to check out your next livestream when you have one. I also love your set up and all the art! And your Squishmallows on your bed! 😍 I had to take a 7 month break between the 3rd draft of my PhD dissertation novel, also an Adult contemporary fantasy (the draft that I submitted to the library in August 2023 that’s public) and the 4th draft. I finally managed to get to 6 drafts once I had revised the 4th. I finally had motivation to start again. The 6th draft is the one I started querying to literary agents last month. So far, it’s either been rejections or silence. But I think taking that long break really helped me, so if you needed that break or still need one, take it! To be honest, I haven’t felt like drafting my new novel while I’ve been querying, even though I would like to. I have a short story due at the end of the month and have been having trouble with that, too. It happens! It’s hard when you’re balancing work and other things, too. I wish you much ease and inspiration for writing the rest of SUNLESS GROUND. Thank you for this vlog! 💜
Hi Lara!! Hehe happy you like my setup! Also, thanks for the update on your work--happy to hear the break was well worth it for you! Thankfully I'm slowlyy getting back into writing since filming, these are all from a month or so ago!
The art! Love love loveeee. I so wanna get some art for my projects once they’re actually a good way along. I really enjoy listening to you talk about writing. There’s just something soothing about it really
Yayyy, thank you! So many people have pointed out the art that I feel like I should post the speedpaints now...... maybe I'll make that as a bonus vid for this week! :)
heyyyyy good to hear from you! I haven't been on Tumblr as much lately so I haven't caught your updates there. I've also written squat it feels like but I had a very busy July so, y'know, it's just like you said about being an adult and stuff XD But hey, close to the end of the book is exciting! Even if you already feel checked out a bit, having it Done will be great.
I hope everything will be goin' well sometime. Times come when You really need to relax and do almost nothing just not to burn out. And as for me, you need to enjoy the benefits of those times. I know for some people hard work is fun, but personally, after a long day / week, / month, you have to have a little bit of rest. Thank you for recording this! Best regards from an Ukrainian! Keep it up, and if you don't feel like writing, just stop for some time, but not quit!
missed your writing vlogs! they always give me inspo. i love the artwork of your characters. im interested in getting some for my current wip. do you have any recommendations for artists? thankss
Awww I'm so happy to hear that, happy to have posted this one finallyyyy :))) Hmm, I'm not sure of specific artists doing commissions atm, but maybe try Alex Ritany? They're a great writer I follow on Tumblr & also do art commissions! I may also take on a couple commissions if you like my style, haha--email me!
hey i was listening to you talk about how you don't like safer graves having the same sounds as sunless ground so i had the thought that maybe you could swap graves with tombs? that way it's the same message but has different sounds? just a thought tho, safer graves is still a banger title! and i'm glad you posted today, now i wanna write and i havent in ages (it's probably been 2 weeks tops)
I THOUGHT OF THAT ONE!!! I guess the poet in me is just really obsessed with the repeated “ay” sound in safer and graves, the auditory congruence is sooo satisfying to me lol! Also yayyyy, all these kind comments ALSO make me want to write today hehe
I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO!!! everyone keeps telling me to watch and then I went on a trip and then I got busy with work and then I got COVID LMAO!!! so hopefully this month!
