This may sound weird but it's nice to see such a prolific writer like you also have a "take it easy" summer. I'm here for it!

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Yeah haha I’m trying to lean more into taking it easy these days. I realized that I can still produce work regularly without having to be “work, work, work”

@tammiegipson8870 Ай бұрын

You saying you are not motivated makes me feel like I am not alone. There is something about the spring and summer I am unmotivated especially the summer. Fall and Winter I don’t have these issues. Winter - cause I don’t want to go outside at all. I love your vlogs so real. Love your transparency. But so happy your series is a trilogy. That is amazing 😀😀😀😀🥹

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

I’m glad because you’re not alone! I agree that summer is extra hard for whatever reason. The heat hit and suddenly I don’t want to do anything 😂 but I agree that I’m fine in fall and winter usually. And I’m so excited to do my first trilogy ☺️

@awritingdai Ай бұрын

I have the Chain on a library hold! It definitely has a really cool premise!! Also Cult of the Lamb is SO fun! I may have done a tiny splurge during the Nintendo sale and got a couple cozy games 😆 Being unmotivated is totally relatable, and you’ve been BUSY for the past while, so take your breaks! You deserve them ☺️

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Oh yay!! Yeah the premise was so unique that it was very worth the read. Lol yes for the sale splurge! I’m always haunting those sales to see if I can get games on sale. I refuse to pay full price haha. And yes Cult of the Lamb is so so fun. I’ve been loving it. And thank you! I think I deserve the breaks too. As long as I’m still getting everything that I need to get done, done. There’s no reason to not take them

@thathollyking Ай бұрын

I'm playing cult of the lamb as well! Love it!

It’s so good!!

Congratulations on having the trilogy confirmed!! I'm so excited to read them; I love competition books, but I'm always kind of sad if there's only one competition/the competition doesn't feature much. 🎉

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Thank you!! And yeah, that will not be the case with these books haha. The competition is very prominent and throughout the whole series because I’m like that too. If I’m sold on a competition book I want lots of competing and training and stuff

YAY! Get it! So proud of your hard work. You are beautiful even in your "gremlin" outfits. I am right there with ya gremlining.

ooh im loving your new pfp! i assume thats a new offical author picture!? very pretty 💚 very excited for a mastery of monsters and im glad to hear about the competition/tournament element! sounds so intriguing

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Yes! It’s the new official one and thank you!! And I’m glad you’re excited about it. I’m really looking forward to it because I love the competition ☺️

Also I understand “I tend to be a very intense person”. Same. This was fun ❤

lol yess intense people unite

@silvertongue231 Ай бұрын

Finally read Tender Beasts it was wonderful I think the character I relate to most was Dom cause I always felt like I didn't belong in my own family

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

I’m so happy you liked the book! And I’m glad (but also not glad because not feeling like you belong is tough) that you could relate to Dom and his journey in the story. I really liked writing him even though I was also very mean to him 😅

🎉 Arcane Soundtrack Mention 🎉🎉 I love that soundtrack, one of the best on tv in recent memory tbh! EDIT: also House Flipper!!! I love to have that game up in the bckground while I'm picking at writing, I work best when I can flip bakc and forth between things and House Flipper is the PERFECT game for it. Highly recommend house flipper 2, it has SOOOOO many nice quality of life updates and the campaign mode is REALLY fun.

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Yes!! Truly the best tv soundtrack I’ve listened to since the Euphoria soundtrack, and really that one is just a Labyrinth album 😅 and omg I want to play house flipper 2 SO BADLY but they don’t have it for the switch yet 😭😭😭 once they do I will be purchasing it immediately

@malikamaybe Ай бұрын

I love your new author photo, Liselle! You look amazing 💕 omg not me feeling exactly as you here pls. I got notes back for the last beta round and the edits aren’t gonna be suuuuper intensive, but my brain is like ‘yeah but…I don’t wanna tho.’ It took me days just to write the synopsis alone lol like I feel you so, so much here lol. And gahhhhh, I’m just so excited for you and this *trilogy* (🎉🎉🎉) like I’m so hype to keep up with your progress with your books. Hope submissions are going well rn (and that it’s started!)!

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Thank you!! And yeah omg it’s the worst when you just don’t want to work 🙈😅 and yes submission started today! Very excited ☺️

Did I miss a video when did you get a film agent I love that for you. Your videos make me motivated to write my own novels! How do you keep all these projects organized so you don’t get lost in the sauce? Have you ever written the wrong name of a character in the wrong project?

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

I have a video here talking about selling a film option and getting my film agent: My Books as a TV Show?! Selling my Option [CC] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZd7jdt6lq3bZHU.html And I’m so happy my videos are motivating you! It helps a lot if I’m just working on one project at a time but I’ve had lots of experiences where I just totally forget the name of a character 😅 but thankfully I have character sheets so I don’t usually write down the wrong character in the wrong project. Not unless they’re really minor.

@AshDaniS Ай бұрын

I love cult of the lamb! I haven't played in a while and now I feel like getting back into it. Had no idea about the unlimited hearts thing

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

It’s so good!! And yes omg the unlimited hearts has changed everything for me. I play without anxiety 😍 and there’s a new update coming soon too!

@Lively_Esra Ай бұрын

Hi can you please post a video on plotting a series. I love you vids, just subcribed.

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Yes! I am planning to do one at some point. But I had only planned one series so far so I felt like I should plan more before I did one 😅 but now that I’m in the process of planning another one I can definitely do that

@eminorthworld Ай бұрын

Omg this is vibes what I’m writing now: vibes of Arcane and battle scenes and Dark Academia. Maybe battles a little different vibes, more group battle scenes. I am too close to the project, so can’t tell yet how bad it is 😂 Also large cast, I get it. I’m deep in the edit process right now. Will be looking forward for your book to land.

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Ahhh I love it!! Those vibes are just immaculate. And I’m sure the project is not bad at all. I always find that my writing is much better than I think when I go back to it. But yeahhh that large cast is so fun to have but so difficult to juggle 😩 I hope you’ll enjoy the book once it’s out!

Something about you not knowing about the cultural phenomenon that is July 4th in America makes me giggle in a "yeah that's being Canadian and introverted for you" way.

@LiselleSambury Ай бұрын

Yuuuuuuppp 😂 I literally was like “oh yea, that thing.” I truly know so so little about the US. I’m always just like “that’s not my business” unless it’s something that seems like it might affect me in Canada
