hi FraLou, welcome to authortube too!! it's great to meet you :) I love children's fantasy and I think it's so cool that you're cowriting. it sounds like you have some awesome projects going on right now -- hope you have a great creative summer too! 💕
brandon sanderson's lectures are also my favorites 😭 once you click on one of those, you can't stop 🤣 i even watched from other two channels they used to upload older lectures all the way back to 2016 💛 i don't even know how much i rewatched his lectures at this point. i would sometimes listen to it while doing house choirs since my brain flows when i'm doing choirs so it's even more helpful when listening to it while doing them so when im done with choirs i could just straight write/type about story ideas and related stuff. 💛
I’ve been meaning to start writing again and always turn to authortube for the inspiration!! I really enjoyed watching this and can’t wait to keep following your journey! Congrats on creating your channel and best of luck ✨
Welcome to the Authortube family! :) I love your pitch and I'm not good with book pitches as well so you're not alone hehe :D can't wait to see your writing adventure :)
ahh thank you, Nicole! book pitches really are surprisingly hard, aren't they?! glad I'm not alone haha it's so great to have you here, thanks for watching!
I'm so glad I found you're channel! It seems like we have a very similar writing style, so I'm really looking forward to more videos. And on a random note; you're very pretty and I love you're pen name!
You have such a wonderful personality! You kind of remind me of a mix of Julia Stiles and Emma Stone (but obviously in your own unique way :) ) I'm looking forward to seeing more videos you post, I'm sure you'll have a lot of cool ideas!
Welcome to AuthorTube! Love the nature background you have on your laptop! I join AuthorTube and CreatorTube to meet new people, make friends and help as many people as I can. I write Horror and Dark Fantasy. Just mostly do a search on AuthorTube Newbie tag or see if anyone is live and join the live chat or make a comment on their video.
so nice to meet you, sherri! and thank you, I really love that background too! 😂 those are all excellent ways to find people, I like meeting people in live chats a lot too!!
thank you!! 💕 right?! I really love the ring of one syllable last names, so I loved "gray". and who knows, hopefully it'll be on the spine of a book one day :)
Apparently we all sneak our way into answering questions from both! You are so charming to watch and your set up looks so professional. Looking forward to more!
I know I'm very late on this video but I couldn't stop laughing at you talking about things which I would answer in the same exact way--too many similarities :') Hopefully I will soon dare to hop onto authortube too 😅 Excellent and lovely video to watch, thank you for sharing! 💚
I absolutely suck at book pitches too, but yours sounds pretty good! I started to write when I was really young as well, your story about it is really cute! Overall you have some really great answers and a lovely personality. I just joined the AuthorTube community myself, looking forward to potentially connecting and seeing more of your content. Wishing you the best of luck! ✨
Same here Queen, After highschool I stopped writing and it wasn't until after Uni that i discovered authortube and really re-discovered my writing again!
Hey there, I really enjoyed your video. You have such a fun personality that really comes through on camera. I think it's great that you are so passionate about learning to write well and are focused on that personal growth!
oh thank you so much!! 💕I always feel better when I'm working towards something, so I love that writing is giving me that direction :) it's great to have you around the channel, thanks for watching!!
Hi! So good to see another new face. I write adventures \ thrillers. I've also binged authortube for years. Don't have the nerve to start my own channel yet. Welcome and look forward to more videos😄
thanks for watching, nicole!! great to have you here :) I truly binged authortube for months before I even started commenting, so you're way ahead of me then haha I can say the water's pretty nice out here in authortube newbie land - it's safe to jump in if you want to!!! :) definitely let me know if you do, I'd love to check it out!
Welcome to the authortube community, Danica! You seem absolutely lovely, and your fantasy novel sounds interesting as well. I'm keen to see more of your videos and have subscribed. :)
So I really wanted to start an Authortube Channel, but I just never have the time, what with being 16 years old and all that, but I really hope that I’ll be able to start soon. I may be a little bit late, but welcome to Authortube, Danica!
Thanks, Lainey! oof totally understand, it's so hard when you're busy to juggle all the things. but if you want to do it and you find the time, you totally should start an authortube channel!!
Hi! This was so sweet:) I also find that making videos and talking things out to a camera helps me figure things out for myself haha! I'm also new to authortube (though not youtube in general), I'm really excited! Maybe you're not that new anymore now😅 But I'm here for more:D
haha yes!! another auditory learner here 💕talking it out can be so helpful. welcome to authortube too!! it's real fun out here. and don't worry, I'm still waiting for the day I don't feel like a newbie (not here yet) 😂 thank you! it's great to have you around here 💕
Your books sound amazing! I also write fantasy/sci-fi and am documenting my journey on this platform. It's been such a blast making videos and discovering new writers! ALSO! I just started the Brandon Sanderson Lectures and they are amazing! LOVE!
lovely to meet you, Haley!! :) so agreed, it's awesome to meet other writers on here! and I KNOW, right?! isn't brandon sanderon the best? when I say I binged his lectures I truly mean I practically watched them back to back haha
Me too!! I really takes the pressure off the messiness of getting the story down on paper 😂I definitely learned that term from others on authortube and have found it super useful!
Welcome to #Authortube Danica!! You seem like a lovely gal and I look forward to seeing your journey!! I'm loosely a part of #Authortube I've only so far done #LiveProductivity sprints or #LiveWordSprints on my channel and I haven't done anything lately due to some stuff happening in my personal but will start again soon. Please feel free to check out the ones I've got on there right now if you need some writing help.💕
hi Anna, it's lovely to have you here!!! :) I do love write-ins for productivity - I'll check our your recordings and keep a look out for your lives when you are able to get back to them! :)
Hey Danica! I want to welcome you to Authortube but I'm not yet in it myself so not sure if I can 😅. I am currently in the process of setting up my own channel. Very excited to see your journey and how you progress as a writter. Good luck with your story and who knows maybe one day we'll critique each other's work :)
hey maddox, wonderful to have you here!! hey, if you're watching, you're already an essential part of the authortube community 💕 oooh good luck setting up your channel, can't wait to see what you make! :)
you totally should take the plunge!! it was kinda scary to dive in but it's been a lot of fun ever since :) definitely let me know if you do, I'd love to watch!
Great video! I watched this first about a month ago and I'm using it as inspiration for my newbie video. You seem to know yourself pretty well as an author already which is great. I hope you're riding goes well and I would love to better read when you're ready to share.🙂
go for it! make your newbie tag! it'll be so great to have you in the authortube newbie tag club haha 💕and thank you so much - I'm eternally learning more about myself as a writer but I definitely find that doing these videos and reflecting on it is helpful and fun! hope your writing goes well too, and would love to try and connect sometime when I'm more ready for betas! :)
Hey I'm glad I found your channel! I'm also documenting my writing journey. If you're looking for community, I've found being active in the comments of live streams is a great way to connect with writers!
Hi Violet! I'm sorry, I finally discovered the mysterious "spam" comments folder and dug this out - thanks for watching!! that's a really great tip, it's so much easier meeting people when you can talk a bit first and a live stream chat is a great way to do that
I know I'm eight months late, but I had taken a break from authortube (as most of the authors I followed quit writing) and only just discovered you. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thanks so much for making this, Danica! I want start my authortube channel soon and I hope you don't mind if I use your questions. Also, about your novel, is it YA or middle grade? (Not sure if you mentioned it) It sounds like a lot of fun! Can't wait to see more of your videos!
yay for joining authortube!! absolutely, you should totally do the newbie tag questions! anyone can, I took them from Jenna (the creator of the tag) too: th-cam.com/video/ktlAQu9eAX4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JennaStreety my novel is YA right now! it might merge a little more into new adult - we will see how it ends up. thank you, and welcome!! it's great to have you around the channel 💕
Hello! How are you? I hope you are fine!! I really liked your video, how you talk about writting And your goal of showing your growth is so nice! Following! And going to Instagram to follow you there too

"Danica Gray" has such a nice ring to it, I can definitely hear someone saying "have you read the Danica Grey series?"

Kate Cavanaugh is the great unifying force of AuthorTube - I also found out about it from her videos - I think everyone does.
Truly!! She's absolutely lovely - truly the welcoming committee of authortube
Your story on using the name Danica is quite similar to how Maynard from Tool came up with his name.
oh interesting, I didn't know that!! there's something just super fun about the names we pick for ourselves as a child!
Hey, Danica! What an awesome intro video! I'm looking for writer buddies and critique partners, too! I write young adult sf/f ✨
