Happy Belated Birthday! Looking forward to the next release. Also, I adore the music you choose for your videos, it's a total vibe!
Thank you!!! And also happy you liked the music! I spend a ridiculous amount of time choosing it haha
Liselle I absolutely LIVE for your writing vlogs! I love hearing your process and then getting to see your book babies out in the wild. As an aspiring author, you're a literal icon to me!!
Also I can not wait for Tender Beasts to come out, I just saw your preorder campaign and I'm very excited about all the goodies!
Thank you so so much!! I appreciate you saying so 🥹 and wishing you the best with your writing journey! I also hope you’ll enjoyed Tender Beasts ☺️ I’m looking forward to sharing it with everyone
OMFG the PUPPY STARRRE lmfao just completely over it
Loooool she is quite a character
As always we drop a like before we watch! 😌💅🏾
💚💚💚
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!🧁🧁🧁🧁
Thank you!!!
This was such a fun vlog!
Also what you said about your birthday and how your 30s is about doing what you love and having more confidence about it/being in the peak of your life made me a little emotional. I love that sentiment very much
Awww 🥹 I feel like I dreaded turning 30 so much when I was in my 20s. And then I was just like “oh, no, this is better.” Sometimes you gotta get there to appreciate it, I guess haha
Happy Belated Birthday, Liselle! I can’t wait for TENDER BEASTS! I need to submit for my pre-order goodies! I preordered awhile ago!
I’m glad you got to go to Lainey’s wedding and also go to Chicago! So cool you got to meet my friend/critique partner Jen St. Jude. Love that! I hope you liked B&N. I’ve actually never been inside an Indigo and I used to live in Canada as a teenager. I hope someday I feel safe enough to travel and can go. 💜
Congratulations on your progress for A MASTERY OF MONSTERS! Relatable what you said about fleshing out the mystery when writing a fantasy. I have trouble with that, too. 😭
Looking forward to your end of the year wrap up and upcoming projects videos in January as well, but I especially love your writing vlogs. I’m sorry it took me so long to watch this and leave a comment! I hope you and BoBo have a lovely holiday season! 🤗🫶
Thank you!! And I did enjoy B&N! It’s actually very very similar to Indigo to me. They feel really close and I hope you’ll feel safe enough to travel in the future.
And yeah haha it’s funny because I don’t think people think mystery when they think of fantasy but most of them seem to have something of a mystery so it’s a useful skill.
You have a great holiday season too!
I love the longgg vlogs :) LOL everyone is doing sus shit. Happy belated birthday Liselle!!
I’m happy you do! lol I looked at the time stamp and was like “well, they know the deal by now” 😂 and yeah, I feel like ageing is helpful in that. You realize you can’t be bothered with a lot of things haha
loved this video, I love to hear you talking about the books you are writing
Happy you loved it!!
It's amazing to see you grow. I was here from your I got an agent videos and was truly inspired. It's funny because my mum thinks we look alike, I don't see it though. I'm also at the start of my self-published career with two books out and watching you encourages me to stay on the path. I really enjoyed Blood Like Magic and loving Delicious Monsters so far. I can't wait to read more from you. Happy Belated birthday, may you get all you dreamed of and happy holidays. ❤
Thank you! And omg yeah it’s so wild everything that’s happened since that video so long ago 😱 and lol I think I can see it maybe in the face shape?? I have no idea haha I also find it hard when people say I look like someone. I’m always like 🤔🤔 maybe??
Also congrats on having your two books out and I’m glad the videos are helping. It can be such an up and down experience as an author, truly. And thanks so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying the books!! Wishing you the best for the holidays too!
@@LiselleSambury Thank you so much! 🤗 I always look forward to your videos. You are like a writing machine I don't know how you do it. Wishing you a happy holiday and a wonderful new year ❤

Hello! Been watching your video's for a little bit, but this is my first time leaving a comment - thank you so much for all your content! As someone just starting on this author journey, I really enjoy getting to see so much of the process that you have been though.
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m glad that sharing my journey is helpful ☺️
Seeing Momo on your sweater is so cool. That judgy stare is iconic. 😆
Loool it is a very signature look
i’m always SAT for a new liselle vid
😁💚
Happy birthday!! My favourite thing with your channel outside of the traditional publishing and writing is seeing your hair growth journey from your query letter video 3 years ago. Teach me your ways 😩
Thank you!! Also, omg haha, literally yesterday I washed my hair and was stretching it to see the length lol. Honestly, I’m actually so bad with it 🙈 I wasn’t deranging well so I ripped a bunch of hair and now I have all these short little hairs that I have to gel down all the time. But I’m otherwise a very lazy natural lol but I do rarely use heat and have started doing more low manipulation stuff lately so it gets tangled less. I wear my hair out less too so maybe that’s helping
I wanna do braids next year but also so expensive 💀 so we’ll see
I see my book in Anderson's! Haha
It was!! They have great taste over there
@@LiselleSambury I didn't get a chance to visit when I was in Chicago, but I need to.
@aaronhaceves you should! It was such a cool indie and the staff were super nice
Hi! I have a quick question: When writing your book, how do you make it longer? My stories always seem to go by really fast, and all this crazy stuff happens and it's only like-three pages long. How would you fix that?
I am perhaps not a great person for this because all of my books end up being long without me making any effort to do so 😅 but what I find most contributes to that is the number of subplots in the book. I find that when I add subplots, it gets longer, and when I purposely do less subplots, it’s shorter. Also, worldbuilding. The more that I have to build up a world or complicated a magic system becomes, the more words.
So if you’re struggling with length, maybe try adding subplots and see it that helps?
