Okay, so I’m not an author in the classical sense - I’m currently working on a musical. BUT, every time I watch your videos I get SO INSPIRED TO KEEP GOING, so I just wanted to say thank you ❤️
I scared my cats squawking at your “would you rather” question. Definitely the cockroaches! I love the idea of Lindsay the Woo Woo Librarian, all crystals and glasses chains, and I think she deserves to be a character in one of your books.
omgggg yes I will write her one day hahah and poor kitty! But it's a good question! Although I would take the human. Easier to...get rid of **evilsmile**
LOL FELLOW WATCHERS if you read the comments before watching the end of the video like me and are so confused….it will all make sense soon LOL - also, a person probably because they aren’t *necessarily* killers. They might just need a friend.
Oh, I relate to what you said about writing vs other talents/hobbies. Like, I’m okay at a lot of things, but writing just clicks and flows. I also relate to what you shared in your last video about a lot of the Imposter syndrome come from the flare days or not being able to do the events, etc...trying to live your passion and bring in income as a spoonie can be so difficult sometimes. Sending love and prayers for even more pain free days for you!
I feeel you on the "jack of all trades" part. Writing is the one thing in my life I feel, indisputably, I am great. I'm good at all sorts of things. Photography, archery, being a barista, and so on. But I really do feel that I'm a great writer, and it's part of why it's my favorite thing in the world to do. And tbh I feel lucky to even have "only" one thing I feel that way about.
ok so Im not done watching the video but I had no idea what a midheaven was so I looked mine up... it said Pisces in House X, "professional success in solitary professions. Archivist, librarian, historian, etc.", and WOW that is too real... thank u for educating me, I learned!
also ok lmao i'm taking person over roaches. after witnessing a roach crawl in under the electronics of my microwave a few years back it is NOT happening again :]]]]
ahhh sometimes astrology is scary accurate, right? OMG I'm so happy you loved Dig! It's so hard to recommend because it's so weird but there is a specific audience for it and when it hit, it HITs. I'm so happy!!!!
Ah, the would you rather is so hard! On the one hand, I've dealt with bedbugs and the paranoia of if they're actually gone or just lurking somewhere is awful. But also people are scary, so I'd probably choose cockroaches anyway simply because their intentions are easier to predict.
LINDSAY this Would-You-Rather is SCARY! But I honestly think One person, I’m not dealing with that many cockroaches, and maybe the person is nice?? There is no scenario where the cockroaches are nice…
I meant to ask this question but it slipped my mind to! I was wondering if you've ever thought about making a "book TikTok" account :) I've been thinking about it! I made a YT channel but wasn't able to keep up with it because of my own chronic illnesses getting in the way. I feel like a book tok would be easier to keep up with being that the videos are so much shorter! Just wanted to know your thoughts, if you get a chance to answer :) Thank you Lindsay!! You continue to inspire me! XOXO PS: I'm a woo woo witch too ;) I love that you're so into astrology! I really want to learn more in depth about it. One day!! :D PPS: I would rather find a person in my attic!!!! ROACHES TERRIFY ME!!!! Haha!!
right!? And you can get rid of a person much easier! And no, I'm staying away from reviewer spaces since I got my book deal. I don't want to be watching someone's booktok and see someone trashing my book! haha plus, I would feel weird reviewing or recommending some colleagues work and not others...best just to stay on TH-cam and do writing content for me! Cuts the author politics out haha BUT I know a lot of people love booktok! Good for it if you feel you are called to it :)
OMG I would totally prefer a person over cockroaches! Also, I understand about the privelege thing. I can't hold down a fulltime job due to my own disability, but yet I'm denied disability through the state. My husband is on disability due to his amputation years ago. So yes, he supports the family, but at the same time also miss working, too.
Late to the party. Thanks for answering my question, I am so invested in your Fuggler children! You mentioned a woo woo subscription box. It’s pricey but I’m subscribed to the Witches Moon and I love it!
After spending all of quarantine in an apartment overrun by cockroaches, I can safely say a person would be a delightful alternative! Thanks for the wonderful content, Lindsay, your videos always brighten my day! 💜
Yessss I love labrodite! My selenite tower is... quite large. Lmao it looked like something out of LOTR and the first couple times I saw it I couldn't afford it, but it waited for me. Ugh I miss the gems shows SO MUCH even though I don't need any more stones I don't need any more stones I don't need............. One person, definitely. Ain't no peasant hath time for cockroaches. Also I'd totally come to your book launch if I could. An in-person one would be fabulous.
It really is. I have a color-changing light under it so it can glow with me. LOL. Why is it when you said "so much easier to get rid of" my immediate thought was "yes, just throw them out the window?" 🤣
For the would you rather I'd definitely choose 1 person. Exterminators can cost hundreds of dollars and require you to move out for a period of time. Kicking someone out and changing your locks sounds much easier.
I love how you say youre sensitive and you'll cry, I know it's true but idk it's just...nice to see someone else being open about the fact that our feels get hurt! i'm the exact same way and would have to do the same disclaimer. Also how are you liking that sub box? My sister loves those kind of things so I was wondering if it's a good gift sub?
I’m here for the woo woo beliefs. I knew you were a girl after my heart because of the crystals and woo woo. If someone is coming for that, you send them to me. You have gay mafia protection. 🌈💜💯 Congrats on the 6th pain free day. I feel that on a deep level! So happy for you.
A person... 100% sure. I’m not dealing with roaches. Rather “befriend” a creep psycho than deal with roaches. I hope the current world situation slows down and allows for you to have in-person book release events! And hopefully I will be able to go 🤞🏽.
I'd take the person over ONE cockroach 😂 Those things are devil spawn. I hope it's safe to mix and mingle again when your book is being released. Launch parties are such an exciting event!
Omg I hope so too! I want to have book-themed treats and swag and stuff and match my outfit to the cover and everythinnnng haha I'd take anything over a cockroach, I think
I'd take cockroaches 100%. But to be honest that's probably only because I physically can't run... So yeah! I'd definitely just stay out of the attic and wait for pest control to show up rather than take my chances trying to out wheel a possible creeper. Glad to hear you've been doing well btw!
Sooooooo, I lived in Hawaii for a few years and let me tell you, the roaches were INSANE, and I still haven’t gotten over finding them in the microwave, dishwasher, crawling over my legs in the middle of the night. So, like 98%, I’d rather find the human.
Hey Lindsay, what would be your advice on interpreting a rejection from a literary agent. If you’ve provided a query and sample pages and they say “this isn’t a great fit because I don’t represent much YA” for example. Do you think that could be that there is something wrong with the query itself/sample pages or? Thank you and love your channel! 🤍
That's a tough one! I'd guess that they are being honest in not repping much YA, because most agent will just say "it's not a great fit" and leave it at that otherwise.
I would rather find one person! If they’re dangerous, I’ll call the police. If they’re dead, well…same thing. I hate cockroaches! Also question for you, which you must’ve answered but I can’t remember: how long did the editing process take you from starting to edit The Glass Witch to finishing/query ready?? Sending lots of love & good wishes for health ❤️
Thousand cocroaches anytime! This is because I NEVER go up the attic anyway (my fiance hid the ring there), so I wouldn't have to do anything with it, I'd just let them be. If there was a person up there, I feel like I'd have to get involved.
The person is easier to get rid of than the cockroaches, so I'll say one person! And if they won't leave, maybe they'll be my live-in cleaner. So many possibilities!
Definitely roaches. Extermination would be so much easier. Literally no questions asked. But if I show up in the backyard at night with a shovel in my hand and a rolled up mat with feet sticking out of it, people are going to ask questions, and I don't have time for that 🤷🏻♀️
It would have to be the person. There is no getting rid of that many cockroaches. At that point, you just leave the house. The cockroaches can have it.
1000 cockroaches! I'll just get an exterminator but to have a whole person....that's creepy and they might escape and come back to kill me!... Cockroaches (even though my skin is crawling right now) all the way.
LOL I love this reasoning. I would choose the person (you could totally get creative with HOW you get rid of them **evil smile**) and it would be much easier than the cockroaches LOL
Like disability coverage? NOPE. According to the US gov, I am not disabled **upsidedownsmileyface** even tho I can't work or leave the house or move half the time. It's fine haha (not really)

omg thank you so much, Maiga! I hope this is a happy space for writers of all kinds :)
"A self-care box with woo-woo stuff in it" WHERE DO I SIGN 🤗😍
Link in the description! haha they are amazing!
I mean, I’m here for the woo woo.
I scared my cats squawking at your “would you rather” question. Definitely the cockroaches! I love the idea of Lindsay the Woo Woo Librarian, all crystals and glasses chains, and I think she deserves to be a character in one of your books.

LOOOOL I didn't even think about how weird this would be for someone who didn't watch first LOL I love this so much more now.
Oh, I relate to what you said about writing vs other talents/hobbies. Like, I’m okay at a lot of things, but writing just clicks and flows.

awh thank you so much, Candice!
Thinking of my CPs' projects as nieces and nephews forever now. Loved this!
It's it the sweetest!? Love them
I feeel you on the "jack of all trades" part. Writing is the one thing in my life I feel, indisputably, I am great. I'm good at all sorts of things. Photography, archery, being a barista, and so on.

that's..actually kinda beautiful. I love that. also you do archery?! That's so cool. I'm jealous.
Your editing powers are SUPREME, Queen 😍🤩👏🏼🔥💪🏽
haha thank you for thinking so!
ok so Im not done watching the video but I had no idea what a midheaven was so I looked mine up... it said Pisces in House X, "professional success in solitary professions. Archivist, librarian, historian, etc.", and WOW that is too real... thank u for educating me, I learned!
also I read DIG on your recommendation and it was SO WILDLY GOOD AHH. so glad it got a shout out in this vid!
also ok lmao i'm taking person over roaches. after witnessing a roach crawl in under the electronics of my microwave a few years back it is NOT happening again :]]]]

LOL well I hope you never encounter malicious cockroaches!
I relate so much to this life (being supported by my partner) being a privilege, but at the same time not. Spoonie writers unite.
Also, the person, 100%. 🤣
right?! much easier to get rid of!
And ugh, yeah, it's such a weird situation to be in. Like, half privilege, half not.
So lovely to get to know you better! Here is my answer: One person, no doubt. Somehow it seems less creepy, and also, it's a better story🙃
100% Haha

It's such a complicated situation. Glad I'm not alone!
And oh yeah. A single person is so much easier to get rid of haha
what a perfectly timed distraction from #pitmad ✨ bless your soul i needed this lol
OOOH GOOD LUCK! (but also distractdistractdistract)
Late to the party. Thanks for answering my question, I am so invested in your Fuggler children! You mentioned a woo woo subscription box. It’s pricey but I’m subscribed to the Witches Moon and I love it!
ooh glad you have a sub box you love! haha and thank you! I love my fug-children
If you get an in-person book launch, I WILL BE THERE! I’ll grab some taco Johns on the way and Aaron and Brian can finally have their bro date!
YESSSS OMG I WILL BE SO BLOATED AND HAPPY
After spending all of quarantine in an apartment overrun by cockroaches, I can safely say a person would be a delightful alternative! Thanks for the wonderful content, Lindsay, your videos always brighten my day! 💜
Oh no! LOL yeah I totally agree with that decision! And thank you so much :)
Yessss I love labrodite! My selenite tower is... quite large. Lmao it looked like something out of LOTR and the first couple times I saw it I couldn't afford it, but it waited for me. Ugh I miss the gems shows SO MUCH even though I don't need any more stones I don't need any more stones I don't need.............
One person, definitely. Ain't no peasant hath time for cockroaches. Also I'd totally come to your book launch if I could. An in-person one would be fabulous.
Omg selenite is just...so nice. Like a warm hug.
And yes! The person! So much easier to get rid of!
It really is. I have a color-changing light under it so it can glow with me. LOL.

omg yes it would be an amazing gift. The September box was one of the best ones yet!
And yeah, I just stay cryin LOL
I’m here for the woo woo beliefs. I knew you were a girl after my heart because of the crystals and woo woo.

Definitely a person, cockroaches are a big no from me!! So happy to hear these answers, just love your energy and yay for pain free days!

BLECH okay yeah human FOR SURE
The would you rather....omg 😱* screech* 🤣
LOL I know it's terrible either way!
Here I was thinking Midheaven's were always in the 10th house. Gosh, I need to study astrology a LOT more lol.
I think they are usually on the cusp of the tenth, but not always? Idk!
French Toast AGREE
yummmmmmm
I love all of these!!! And hmmm, I'd rather find cockroaches ... but I would so want to read a book about finding one person!!
nonononono a person! Much easier to get rid of LOL
@@LindsayPuckett Lol fair point! BUT! Is the person alive or dead?
Hey Lindsay, what would be your advice on interpreting a rejection from a literary agent.

I'm that same! Humans are much easier to get rid of!
And 4ish months! :)
Where did you get your glass necklace thingy?! It’s so pretty!!!
Etsy!
A person definetly, there are a number of things I could do if it... I'm leaving it open.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY LOLOLOL
Saving my pennies now so that I can fly out for your book launch! 💛
YUSSSSSS will save you a front row SEAT! Guest of honor lol
I'd rather have cockroaches. Gross, but wayyyyy less terrifying lol
hahaha valid!
I was once an entomologist but I absolutely loathe cockroaches. Still, I'd prefer 1000 cockroaches in my attic to one person.
You are a brave soul haha
Thousand cocroaches anytime! This is because I NEVER go up the attic anyway (my fiance hid the ring there), so I wouldn't have to do anything with it, I'd just let them be. If there was a person up there, I feel like I'd have to get involved.
"get involved" made me LOL
I would rather find the roaches in the attic, FOR SURE lol
valid response haha
Right?! I mean... 😶
1 person so it would be easy to get them to leave…I would die if I found 100 cockroaches!!!
SAME
video:
fun
fun
fun
fun
would you rather 😱
LOOOL
ONE PERSON! but thats coming from someone with a huge bug phobia XD
YESSSSSS
I guess it would kind of depend on the person... Evil murderer, no. Kindly sorceress who transforms into a ferret, ok.
LOL nicely put!
The person is easier to get rid of than the cockroaches, so I'll say one person! And if they won't leave, maybe they'll be my live-in cleaner. So many possibilities!
LOL love this
Definitely roaches. Extermination would be so much easier. Literally no questions asked. But if I show up in the backyard at night with a shovel in my hand and a rolled up mat with feet sticking out of it, people are going to ask questions, and I don't have time for that 🤷🏻♀️
LOOOL well reasoned XD
It would have to be the person. There is no getting rid of that many cockroaches. At that point, you just leave the house. The cockroaches can have it.
LOL they own it now
You’re like trelawney but cooler!
omgggg best compliment everrrrrr
Depends on how dangerous that person is haha
If they don’t mean no harm definitely would rather find a person
I hate cockroaches
right?! much easier to get rid of!
1000 cockroaches! I'll just get an exterminator but to have a whole person....that's creepy and they might escape and come back to kill me!... Cockroaches (even though my skin is crawling right now) all the way.
LOL I love this reasoning. I would choose the person (you could totally get creative with HOW you get rid of them **evil smile**) and it would be much easier than the cockroaches LOL
@@LindsayPuckett Looooooooool! I'm too innocent then also...how long have they been living there? *looks around nervously*
I'd rather 1 person - easier to get rid of than the cockroaches
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
Roaches or a person?? Both is horrible but... person!
Correct! hahahahaha
Do you get disability? I do.
Like disability coverage? NOPE. According to the US gov, I am not disabled **upsidedownsmileyface** even tho I can't work or leave the house or move half the time. It's fine haha (not really)
That fn. sucks.
100% would rather 1 person than 1000 cockroaches yuck!
