You look 25 your stunning 💕

The cottage is so lovely - what a nice writing retreat! I haven’t went on a writing retreat yet but it’s on my toast-do list 😊

I am new subscriber your video is awesome 👏

Lovely surprise for this to pop up on my feed 🩷 I for one would never want to leave that cottage 🥹 So glad you were able to carve yourself some time.

You are an amazing host and interviewer. I have enjoyed and learned so much from the interesting authors you have sat and talked with. Very informative interviews !Thank you ! 😊🎉

You look like katty perry 😅

Louise has got her groove back 🤗 Happy for you 🩷

Yay! This is sooo exciting!

I am so excited to hear more about the Bookshop Bucket List! Enjoy Lisbon. The bookshops are breathtaking. 😍 Livraria Lello in Porto is also beautiful, but be warned: It is overcrowded. I was there in April last year and struggled to enjoy checking out the books. But maybe you'll get lucky, and it will be less crowded.

Aaawww that baby is A-DO-RA-BLE!!!

Aaawww that baby is A-DO-RA-BLE!!!

I didn’t know there was a Toronto literary scene

Aww this is my new favorite vlog of yours!! I'm so excited to hear more about your writing-projects. So glad the meeting went well <3

So excited for you that everything went so well with the meeting! Your son is cute as a button, btw 🙂 Thanks for including the footage of Niagara, what an incredible place.

Looooved this video. This hotel looks charming. The food looked decadent. I love the idea of the post cards. We don't send letters enough nowadays. I'm glad you were able to enjoy this moment for yourself.

Don’t feel guilty. I’m reading the book laziness doesn’t exist and honestly it’s opened my eyes. Enjoy your break ❤

Wow, I loved this! Hi from a new subscriber. Glad I found you. This was such a good idea. My son is adult now, but I vividly remember these hard, early days of motherhood (particularly after a c-section) and that fight to retain a bit of yourself. It was genius to do a local hotel stay, and I wish I'd done something like this. I totally got what you said about just getting used to being alone again by the time you had to check out! Perhaps if you do it again and funds run to it, you could book for two nights, even if you did not stay for the second night - you could have an extra day to yourself but still be home for baby's bedtime!

I loved this episode, Louise! I really find your videos and vibe so helpful because I am currently working on my debut Travel Memoir with my Literary Agent, and sometimes, I just need a pep talk to keep me going. Thank you so much for posting everything you bring to the writing community!

BEAUTIFUL BOOK !!! 📕🥇 📕❤️❤️❤️❤️

hi!! I just wanted to say that I really love this podcast! I haven’t been able to listen to that many episodes yet, but I’m binging them now and love it so much! this episode especially is the type of writing podcast content that is so needed and so rare! just talking about writer topics that are creative and niche but relatable and motivating too. thank you for what you are doing!

Canadian here! Loved this ❤ it's thanksgiving today and being somewhere like this would be amazing

Slayyy

What a great conversation! I'm always fascinated by which books publishers decide to throw their money behind. As Sophia points out, Sally Rooney does not need a splashy party with merch and baked goods to sell her book, she doesn't even need to show up for her own party, lol! But publishers do love backing a sure thing. I have enormous respect for authors who (can and want to) step in and control their own marketing, as much as possible. It doesn't always move the needle on book sales but it do think it gives some semblance of control in an industry that is famously fickle.

Not us being Virgos and being known for overthinking 😂😭 Love this outlook and that you have such a great support system 🩷

Amazing Louise....I feel like I am listening to an amazing Audio Book about your life, as a mom, as a human, and the self care your doing ❤️ I love it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and you look great Louise❤️🎉🎂

I love “what’s in my bag” videos with an emphasis on stationery-yours is so good 😊 some things: 1. Where did you get your glitter wallet? 2. Pencils *are* the best! I think they are having a moment, with status-y pencils like Blackwings. 3. There is no official way to pronounce moleskine, according to the company! www.marketplace.org/2013/05/20/moleskines-ceo-papers-advantages-and-how-pronounce-moleskine/ “We want people to feel free to say the name the way they want. Having said that, “moleskin” as a word is originally an English word. So the English pronunciation is ‘Mole-skin.’ But then you know, it was moved to France and over there, an ‘e’ was added and the French pronunciation is ‘mol-ey-skine.’” www.huffpost.com/entry/how-to-pronounce-moleskine_n_5797cc92e4b0d3568f84ebee So don’t feel bad about how you say it!

Ugh, sending you hugs! 🩷 I hope things ease up for you soon.

Weeks ago I had a dream that would have made for an epic (in my mind) story. I woke up, actually remembered said dream, then got distracted getting ready for work. It never did come back to me 🥲 it’s not the first time I’ve done this. lol

💖 Thank you super informative and grateful to learn more of new authors!! ✨✨✨✨

Loved loved looooved this episode. I'm a stationery enthousiast also. Gotta love a perfect pen and fun notebooks!

You missed my birthday by 3 days lol September 6 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 love books, stationary, learning!!!💗

LOVED THIS PODCAST..... YOUR BEST EVER ❤️🏆🎉

WOW Louise you JUST DID THE PODCAST OF THE CENTURY!!!!!! You just spoke about deep feelings that many don't and won't dare speak publicly!!!! Everything you have just said here will help so many, struggling with the same feelings and emotions. You are so normal and all this is a phase in life that seems eternal but I promise it will slowly fade and your life will eventually fall back into place. Timing is different for everyone. You need to write a book about this!!!!!! And use the words you spoke here please!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖💖💖✨✨✨✨

When I had my daughter, I did the same thing for the first month. Then, I started making myself accept help from a friend or family member at least one day a week. You may try scheduling authors that wrote while having small children. They may have helpful advice for you and others.

Such strange and fake is my life. And real and artificial intelligence.

Can you Separate the Art from the Artist? - NO - If it had been otherwise, their work would have been different - better or worse - You liked this work or you didn't - In the latter case, it doesn't matter - it will only be one of countless uninteresting works destined for destruction - You liked this work - It wouldn't have existed without what they were - Of course, you can imagine that if they had been different, their work would have been different too, but better and more moral and more pleasant - You are with the choice to judge the artist and say NO - You are with the choice to judge the work and say NO - works do not feel anything, not even rejection or disgust - nor do dead artists - There is no shortage of interesting works made by honest, responsible and studious workers - But you are neither a priest, nor a psychologist, nor a judge nor a policeman - So you still have the choice to say: I don't care and I love his work too much to do without it - I take him as he is

Talking at Night is such a special read ❤

shiny object syndrome also known as adhd.

It's never been "age old debate"... the answer has always been "yes".

Good discussion. The Neil Gaiman situation is even worse now with five women levelling seriously bad accusations at this famous so-called male feminist

Congrats it's so lovely a birth of a book is like a birth of a child beleive me tgis is what happened to me when i received my first children story and dad was so exciting to be the first reader abd my mom makes us a coffee, my brother brings the 2000 copies from the printing house, it was a family gathering behind my success as an author.

So lovely cover

I hope that you record the beginning of every bbok launch so i can understand the whole ptocedures please.

Really impressed publishing houses here in the arab country don't have these concepts to build a community to support authors and writers that's why arab authors don't profit from there books any penny once they sell it they took the cheap money which will not help the authors to live and goodbye for arab authors, they will be dead before living and theur writings in the drawers for eternity. Damm on us how we accept these things, for that i didn't accept to work with any publishing houses here.

When you put the hastags of writings is it your vlog will be there ?

I like the ambition tgat you have to launch your book, you remind me when i wrote my first children story, i was si busy and so happy coming and going with taxi 🚖 to the printing house as i am independant author. I stopped writing and i am struggling coming back to many reasons including fatigue from the 9-5 cage work. I hope i can came back soon.
