Hi Everyone! It's been a while, but I was on deadline (vlog incoming... it was chaos), and now I'm in Barcelona! I've been here a few weeks already and I thought it would be so fun to bring you guys along for the ride. In this vlog, I aimed to show you all what a good writing day is like, from the time spent, to the word count achieved, how many chapters I wrote etc. I'm also giving a sneak peek into a new witchy project!

Your videos are a big inspiration for me. Their not only an inspiration for me as a writer, but they also help me to be more gentle with myself. Seeing someone who already successfully published a book struggling with the same things, helps me to remind myself that it’s okay and that it doesn’t need to stop me from making my dreams come true.

Wow that first draft is killer! I was already sucked into the story just by that little snippet of chapter 1! Can’t wait to see more of your videos 😁

ah this is so kind of you. I felt very weird/nervous posting it for all to see, but if it helps someone it's worth it LOL!!

"I have no doubt that I will be humbled really soon" I felt that! Love this style of video and how authentic it is

I've been loving your vlogs!! I'd love to hear an overview of your writing journey - how you got your first agent, what the publishing process was like, etc. Yay for good writing days and I can't wait to continue following along!

You know I might not get an applause for saying this, but I was writing a book but it was taking me so long to finish the book that I turned it into a screenplay. I think screenwriting is so much better and easier. A book has 250 to 400 pages and a screenplay has only 120 pages.

This was inspiring as I’m also abroad for some weeks and working out the balance between working on my laptop and immersing myself in my surroundings. I’d love to hear more about your road to becoming a full time author❤

Ah! I agree, to be on my laptop feels like I'm wasting the opportunity a little... but I'm currently thinking of it as making the most of the alone time and the space I've been given. Besides, knowing me, if I didn't write anything down while I was here, I'd forget the best stuff by the time I got home💖 I will make a video about my author journey! x

Hey, Loved, Loved, Loved this video! I know this doesn't currently correspond to you, but would love to hear your insight into querying agents :) How best to select them, how many to send out at once and tips you have for writing your synopsis and querying letter would be great! thanks xx

@esmietheauthor 14 күн бұрын

so glad you liked the video!! Okay I will deffo do that. Honestly, it does correspond to me as I recently had to change agents and query again so I was thrown back into the querying process! I'll make a video on querying for sure :)) thanks for watching

Hi, I’m planning my first book and would love any advice on planning you can give. It’s taken me forever to come up with a premise that makes me excited to write. Never thought coming up with a premise would be soooo difficult 😣

Hello Esme which writing program do you use? Is it called "Notion"?

@esmietheauthor 9 күн бұрын

hi! yes - it's a website called Notion, and I find it really useful to organise loads of different pages and lists and trains of thought. You can put links and photos in it too and it's totally free!
