I love the ink and pen!

I have a question, wht are your thoughts on AI threats? is it possible for AI to replace novelist creativity?

Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to step out of my comfort zone to pursue my passion for writing and this confirmed that money does not matter to me because I absolutely love it so I should just go ahead and do it :)

I discovered this channel, particularly this video, by pure chance; and im so, **so** grateful i did. I struggle with depression and borderline debilitating anxiety, and it was starting to make me doubt my writing. This felt like a warm hand pulling me up out of that pit, a reminder on why what i'm doing is important. Thank you for making this.

You are on a path that is very difficult for others to follow. you are forced to write, expecting no benefits , if not, you will fall sick. Nature is pushing you hard coz it trust you more and finds you as the medium to speak about things that are subtle and deep. Trust your spirit and hold the pen. There are more characters waiting in the dark to find expressions through you.

Just recently found your channel, Thank you for teaching us your ways sensei 🥸

❤❤

Thank you for your amazing insight. What I got from this video is that a negative change arc can be just as effective as a positive one, especially if the characters' experiences, background and emotions are fully explored. It's true that people don't always overcome their wounds. Sometimes, they get worst instead of getting better. It's worth keeping in mind if I ever go back to writing again.

❤❤

Thank you. This is what I've been looking for!

I'll write a book one day :) I have a goal of just giving thanks to those that inspired me. Giving them a quote or some type of appreciation in the beginning.

It really is true that some words are meant to eventually reach you no matter what. This was a powerful video. As someone who had struggled with anxiety as a teen, storytelling was where I found the desire to overcome what I saw as my limitations. Unfortunately, I stopped writing after I went to uni. Things were just too stressful then. I left a number of unfinished story that I just never went back to, Partly because It feels too daunting a task now. But, perhaps a seed has been planted today.

I’m so sorry I missed your live 😪😭 I’m still at work, but I wish I was home to be able to write with you 🥺 hopefully soon!! Thank you so much for posting I love your content so much!

I like of other way but I REALLY like of these too

👏👏👏👏

This character you are talking about sounds a bit like Fiji from the Midnight Texas series. She was a very kind witch, but then changes and becomes very dangerous when she becomes a dark witch.

I paused this multiple times as it inspired me to continue writing. Thank you for this beautiful vlog. <3

❤❤

Wise words! ❤❤❤

I don’t care about fame

Yes it worth it, it’s so fun making a storyline with Characters that you fall in love with

I don't remember how I came across your videos (I think it was youtube suggestions about 3 days ago) but I got addicted to them. They are therapeutic for me. But it was this one, where you explain about how you get your character inspiration, that made me order your book Heathens: A Dark Welcome. Really curious and excited to read your book! Ps: My suggestion? Mix both formats!

❤

A really nice insight into the mind of the author. It's like casting characters for a movie role. They've been waiting for the right story to appear in. It's really awesome. As for video format, you can always change between the two. They're both great by the way, but It's what you have to say that truly matters.

I enjoyed your video and appreciate you taking yourself out of your comfort zone to provide a great example of how to get character inspiration.

Loved this and the story about the girl on the bus! Do you ever take notes when something like that happens? Sort of to jog your memory later? BTW I enjoy both formats 😊

This was fascinating to listen to. The origin of a story is one of the most asked questions readers ask authors. It was really lovely to hear when and how the idea for the Dwellers came about.

I really enjoyed watching that calm and precise writing style. Its such a different and inspiring feeling!

You have a lovely handwriting 💙💙💙💙

you, your voice, your talent, your youtube channel are so inspiring and beautiful

Thank you, it really resonated with me. I struggle with Imposter Syndrome but like you said, we must keep going because our voice matters✨️

your worldbuilding journal is inspiring and fascinating. ❤

I saved this video to my time to write playlist. I have a few of your videos there. I am currently writing by hand. Mornings when I am awake before the rest of my family is my favourite time to read, write and contemplate. Free with my thoughts

sending you much love from brazil. Keep up with the good work!

Great writing session. Very interesting and insightful.

Your videos are always so inspiring! ❤

❤❤❤

I love watching authors talk about their ideas and worldbuiliding process. I'm glad I found this channel. This video was interesting because I grew up with similar stories of witchcraft myself. They've haunted my immagination for most of my childhood until I realised they were just superstitions, At least, that is what I believe. Unfortunately, the belief and fear of witchcraft still has tremendous consequences in some parts of the Africain soil. I'm very intrigued by Heathens and so I've added it to my TBR list. I also hope to check more contents in this channel.

You're my inspiration oyinda💛

❤❤❤

Such a beautiful account ❤

I just added your first book to my reading list. Sounds magical.

👏❤ Loved it! That’s the type of story I enjoyed as a child and your voice is so perfect for storytelling.

Your videos are always so inspiring, even when I feel like giving up on my hobby. I write children's books for my children and read every other week at the local libraries. It brings me joy to see their faces and ask questions, but writing the next page, sentence, and word has been hard lately. Thank you for sharing always. Much appreciated.

that was really pulling.. I wonder how do kids sleep after hearing thrilling and scary stories. I cannot

I'm moving right now, so I haven't had a chance to catch the lives, but I'm using the playbacks at night when I have a free chance to write. 😊

Didn't get a chance to join this live, but I have this playing in the background as I write my next scene! ❤

Hello. I love your channel. Keep up the great work.

I prefer handwriting too. I use a fountain pen with black ink. There’s something satisfying about the sound of the nib moving across the paper ❤😊✍🏻 After the third draft I transfer it to the laptop to finish up.
